I’ve personally seen lots of portable keyboards for iPad and other tablets and most of these are compact in design and I can say the manufacturers did a great job on limiting its size, saving more space in your bag and making it appropriate to the size of tablet pc.  But if you want to be a little bit different from others, and you are willing to surrender the portable concept by using the common sleek keyboards, then you might be interested in taking a look at this retro-style USB Typerwriter Computer Keyboard which works with PC and Mac, as well as with the iPad. It works as a standard typewriter, but it also has ESC, CRTL, shift, and function keys that are accessible via special toggle key. This keyboard connects to your computer via standard USB port, but you’ll need a special adapter if you want to connect it to your iPad.

If you’ve missed the old days hearing the sound of your classic typewriter keys clacking away noisily and you’d like to get your hands on it, ready your wallet because the USB Typerwriter Computer Keyboard costs a whopping $699.  If you think $699 is too pricey for this keyboard, still you have the option to buy a conversion kit for $74 saving you a hundred of bucks, assuming you have an old typewriter lying about that you can convert.
