What keyboard is it?
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/multi-device-keyboard-k380?crid=27
It's the logitech K380. It's small & comes in blue ( as seen here ) or the black one I have. I believe it was on sale during Prime Day, but I had already owned one for awhile. I use mine connected to the iPad Pro, my PS4, and last connection left open for other ( I have a Surface Pro 3 that I sometimes use it with ) devices. Amazon has an orange version for sale that logitech doesn't seem to sell anymore for $21, the black for $30, and the blue for $31. I'm a fan of the look & how the keys feel.
Not as nice as some people's set up here, but there you go

I KNEW you were a conservative!
WHAT?!!! Bite your tongue!Obviously you didn't take note of the liberal amount of crap on my art table. The diversity of toys on there alone, keeps me from being invited to CPAC!
Conservative.
The only thing conservative about me is my bank account!

Haha, I did take notice. Stats that I made up, PROVE, that liberals don't like to collect toys.
Observe chart one:
Liberals who love to collect toys over a four year span.

I have the same model of keyboard and was quite pleased with what I got. If you can find one, Logitech also makes a pretty cool looking red version that's sold under their Japanese Logicool brand. The same goes for the matching mouse that's available as well.
O.M.G... that is so cute!!!I am part time trying the whole using my iPad pro as my main.
Please, let us know how it's working for you.I am part time trying the whole using my iPad pro as my main.
Here’s my new setup
2016 15 inch touchbar macbook pro (with dbrand matte black skin)
Twelve south parcslope stand
LG 5K ultrafine (using the usb-c ports as a hub as well)
Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers
HIFIME sabre 9018 usb-c DAC (optical out to z906)
4TB Seagate Backup plus hub (which gives me an additional 2 usb 3.0 ports)
Boston Harbor desk lamps with Hue bulbs
Apple magic keyboard and magic mouse.
The desk started out as a Z-line L-shaped desk +7 years ago. Bought another desk and converted it to a U-shape. Then bought 2 more versions of the same desk off craigslist for parts. Brought it to a local shop who do some amazing custom metal work to build what you see here.
I'm pretty happy with the setup so far. Watching movies with 5.1 is amazing. Let me know if there is something that you would add or change with this setup.

Saw this and thought I'd comment.
The iPad Pro can work very well as a full time machine depending on your expectations and what you do. If you're a student this is a great combo as long as you aren't in engineering. If you're doing anything technical you can work around that with the Smart Keyboard, specific mouses, and Jump Desktop connected to a desktop. I did about a year of work on the go like that with virtually little issues doing technical work.
Since then, I've got a couple of MacBook Pros for work. You can do many types of technical work from an iPad Pro on the go. Planning, management, specific types of deployments. All can be done with minimal to no change in workflow. Certain types of deployments were actually easier, and done while standing in line at Starbucks.
Figure out what your needs are. Determine whether or not you have to make any trade offs are worth the benefit. It's INCREDIBLY important that you understand your workflow inside and out on a full sized computer before you try to do it on an iOS device.
No idea if that was useful, but if you have any questions I'm around.
DAYUM!
Next upgrade would be to get some higher end, proper Hi-Fi satellite speakers (like Gallo Acoustics or Orb Audio, or the new Bose Lifestyle 650) - but of course those are a bit higher priced than the Logitech's.
Regardless, stunning setup.
Thanks Tucom!! Good point, didn't know about the Gallo Acoustics or the Bose lifestyle 650..very cool.
Thanks!! Thinking about getting the herman miller aeron with atlas headrest, but need to check it out in-store first.
