Brydge 12.9-Inch MAX Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad Pro (Space Gray)

Brydge Pro+ Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro is by far THE best keyboard I have used with iPad in the last several years. I have tried many, and this one exceeds all my expectations. It truly turns my iPad Pro into a MacBook "lite." I had the previous version of the Brydge Pro Wireless Keyboard (no trackpad) and really enjoyed how easy it was to use and how fluid it was for typing. But not having a trackpad or using Apple Pencil makes it an 8 of 10 experience. I have been using the new Brydge Pro+ Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro for the last week and cannot find anything negative to say about it. The trackpad works like a charm and really gives me that laptop feel in an iPad. I do like the new design in the hinge where the iPad sits. It feels a lot sturdier and stable. Overall, THIS IS the best iPad keyboard for those looking to transform your iPad into a laptop.

This thing is pretty well made. Its sturdy, goes well with the ipad.The only 2 issues are a) the rubber gripers kind of suck and tear. So taking it in and out of the thing blows.It holds well though.Next you have to press space to wake it. I want to just move the mouse to wake. But you can press space and then space again and the. I opens to the Home Screen.The backing it comes with blows and doesn’t stay on so im going to 3d print a new one with an Apple Pencil holder.Typing on it is nice, and the mouse is prey fluid. A bit clicky, but definitely usable.

From the picture l thought there's the back that hold the tablet, instead of 2 clips on the side ( left & right) that clamped the tablet it makes it feels less secure. Since it was made from metal it makes it feel premium. Wish it’s like keyboard case instead of keyboard with 2 clips on the left & right side to hold the iPad. One other thing I appreciate is the track pad.

Hinge that holds iPad broke off after 4 days. However I was already planning on returning it because it performed so poorly. Before it broke off I realized that when it was on my lap the two hinges dug into my thighs. It also scratches up wood surfaces it’s resting on when you move it. Does not respond to scrolling when using trackpad and when it does it’s jerky - need to use up-down arrows instead; cursor does not respond until you touch the screen to get it started; cursor jumps all over the place when typing, often randomly erasing type. It was so slow to do everything I had to revert to touching the screen.On the plus side I like having a row of function keys. However you can make do without that since the important key command keys are there: CMD, Option, Control.Can’t believe they put out this product. Yes, cheaper than the expensive Apple Magic Keyboard, but ultimately worth nothing.

My iPad is like a body part at home; either in my lap, open on a desk or waiting for me to grab it. I have been through five (5) Brydge keyboards so far, including this new one with a trackpad that I returned. I have tried other detachable keyboards but prefer the Brydge for its style, weight, ease of use and functionality. I had never used a trackpad, but use a mouse with my PC, so I thought this might be something good.What happened is that while typing emails or letters my fingers would brush the trackpad, which would mess up what I was writing. I tried to find a switch (like the backlight switch) to disable the trackpad without success. I contacted customer service and was told there was no way to disable the trackpad. So I just ordered one without the track pad and returned the one with the track pad.Several reviews address the issue of the clamps that attach the iPad to the keyboard, the rubber bumpers on the bottom of the keyboard, and the magnetic cover. If you drop your iPad with the keyboard, these clamps are likely to come off the keyboard and you can't get them back on (the main reason I keep needing new keyboards). One or more of the rubber bumpers always come off in the first month or two (I have been gluing mine on or using thin peel and stick replacements). The magnetic cover frequently slips or falls off because the magnet is not strong enough. Even with these annoying issues I still think the Brydge is the best keyboard for my iPad.

I was very skeptical as I have had many different iPad protectors. It did not help that the app and connecting was a bit tricky as the usability of the app is crap. However, once connected, there have been no issues. This by far is my favorite protector/keyboard. Very study. It makes the iPad feel like a legit laptop. The keyboard consistently connects quickly and works great. Just a bit more expensive than most. Just shows you that you get what you pay for. If you want the best, this is the one.

Got it for my sister and she loves it

Waaay overpriced to me. Great keyboard and trackpad works well. Horrible attachment process to iPad is bound to fail or at least become ineffective. Battery life was awesome. Magnetic “back cover” is a joke. Thin piece of something supposedly to protect your iPad. Falls off, slips out of place especially when opening or closing it. Had they made it a snap into actual case type cover the whole iPad slid into similar to the way they make it attach to the keyboard it would have been almost perfect. I ended up returning it and getting another $80 keyboard w/trackpad that functionally is 90% as good as this $220+ one. Even though the $80 one is plastic I believe it will do a better job of protecting the iPad since it’s an actual case covering the entire unit. While their trackpad & keyboard is better, it’s not $140+ better.
