If you prefer to let your fingers spread out over a regular-sized, familiar keyboard, why not use Apple's Magic Keyboard? It's lightweight, streamlined, and of course, it works perfectly with your iPad mini 6 (and every other Apple product you own). You won't have to worry about needing a new keyboard every time you upgrade your iPad.

Q & A
Which of the best keyboards for iPad mini 6 should you choose?
The iPad mini 6 is great on its own, but if you do a lot of typing, you can boost your productivity with a keyboard. Any of the best wireless keyboards will work, but since you chose a smaller iPad, you'd probably prefer a smaller or more streamlined keyboard to keep the iPad mini ultra-portable.
I actually prefer keyboards that work with a variety of devices, as opposed to being tied to a single device. The Logitech Keys-to-Go is a classic keyboard that you can use with your iPad mini 6 and plenty of other devices, including iPads that you may buy in the future such as the iPad Pro (2022).
If you prefer a keyboard (and possibly a case) specifically for the iPad mini 6, the BORIYUAN iPad mini 6 Keyboard Case gives you the best of both worlds. It is a keyboard case, but the keyboard can be removed if you want to use the case without a keyboard or vice versa.
You can't go wrong with any of the keyboards on this list. Just don't forget an iPad mini 6 case and screen protector so your device remains free from damage.
