How can I use a detached keyboard with my iPad Pro so I can draw and use quick keys with it flat?

All you have to do is get a Bluetooth keyboard and set is close to your iPad. Then go to setting/Bluetooth and connect the keyboard. It should work fine. I got my keyboard from an online shopping service and I paid $19. it works fine.

Virtually any Bluetooth keyboard will work with an iPad

I'm left handed so I'd like to put the keyboard on my right and draw with my left-hand, so attaching the keyboard isn't what I'd like at all. Just a quick look at the accessories page give you a wide range of keyboards - from Apple to 3rd party - that work with your iPad

Rotate the video so the connector is in the location you prefer. I've used my iPad in both "directions" depending on where I was and how far the charging cable would reach.

Also if I could use my laptop keyboard and monitor almost like a two monitor setup but while drawing with the ipad pro...

There are a few products that can accomplish this:

  • Duet Display ($10USD)
  • Astropad (Starting at $30USD)
  • Luna Display ($70USD)

Each has their pros/cons - you'll have to evaluate to see which has the workflow that fits you best. Luna Display is a hardware solution that turns your iPad into a second display for your Mac, but with touch/Pencil capability.
