Brydge11.0 Pro+ Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad | Compatible with iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd & 3rd Gen) | Native Multi-Touch Trackpad | Backlit Keys | (Space Gray)

This Brydge is my 4th Brydge keyboard. I have been delighted with all of them. They have a great typing feel. The track pad works well. When closing the keyboard, my ipad is well protected. This keyboard is a delight to use.

I have the twin to this keypad case, I just bought this one as a backup for my less than 6 month old iPad Pro. I intend to keep this ipad for a long time, and at some point the keypad case in use will probably give out, so this is my backup. Why, you ask? For $18, why not? This case arrived in original packaging, looking totally new. I charged it up, mostly to verify that it would charge, and then I put it in a drawer, awaiting use at some point in the future. These are great keypad cases, excellent key 'feel' and lighting if you so choose, and I am not seeing any delay in the keypad connecting via Bluetooth so I don't lose the first character or two as i type, as I have with other cases in the past.

I bought this to replace a free standing Logitech keyboard. That keyboard was full-sized and could pair with 3 different devices at the touch of a button. This keyboard holds the iPad in its tight grasp. It matches the size of the tablet, so the keyboard is cramped. I’ll get used to it. It’s hefty and solid, made of quality materials, except for the back cover, which is a flat piece of plastic with magnets. It slides around easily and isn’t of much use. I really like that this keyboard holds whatever viewing angle I choose, from open flat to 180 degrees (closed). The iPad comes on when you open it up and away from the keyboard, just like the Apple cover. The hinges are necessarily quite stiff, given that they need to hold the screen at the selected angle. So opening it up is a bit of a minor hassle. If the viewing angle is at 90 degrees - straight up - you can type and/or use the touch screen and it has the solid feel of a laptop. Beyond 90 though, the whole affair tends to rock and wobble when you use the touch screen. I don’t use the backlit keys but it’s a nice feature to have. My favorite is the upper left button on the keyboard. Each press backs you out of the current screen, until you reach the home screen. This eliminates a ton of finger swiping.Over all, I’m happy with it so far and would recommend it.

I have never left a review but felt the need because of such a negative experience from a product and customer service perspective. This is the second Brydge iPad keyboard I have purchased. The first one lasted a couple years so I was fine with it. I just purchased another in February of 2023 and by may 2023, the keyboard stopped taking charge and is no longer working. Additionally the keyboard was not as smoothly functioning as it should beI went to Amazon to try and return this one for another. Granted this was my first time trying to do this. After chatting with someone at Amazon they got me in touch with the company who I purchased it from. Sent them a note and they basically came back to me and said sorry I can’t help you and here is a phone number to call. Zero support and not standing behind the products they sell on AmazonI expect more and very disappointed.

Do a Google search Brydge and Brydge Connect for plenty of info for you BEFORE ordering. These are great keyboards with a limited lifespan. My first one lasted just under a year, after conversation with support I was sent a replacement. It lasted a little over 3 years then failed. I ordered another figuring the great price would be fine even with the possibility of a short life. The first thing they ask is that you update firmware wth the app. I already had that but it was non functional. Went to the App Store to check for update. Nope, it is totally gone. The new keyboard board connected right up with Bluetooth and seems to be working fine, but no way to know how old the inventory is that is currently being liquidated at a very good price. Or, how long it may last. Its mighty good for under 40 bucks. Never found anything close to it over the years.

I bought this case because I love this brand. Have a different case for another product by this company and have been using it for years with no issues. When I got this iPad I new immediately I was interested in getting another case by them. As someone who uses this for school I have always liked that the iPad easily detaches from the keyboard so I can hand write on it and the trackpad. Well, on my other product the case comes off the keyboard very easily. For this product it does not! The keyboard is metal and the clips for the keyboard to the case have a thin border of rubber. After just a few uses the rubber has ripped off of the clips and the product cannot be used since I can’t attach the iPad to the keyboard. I had attempted to put the iPad back on (before I realized it was broken) and the metal on the clips broke my glass screen protector and scratched it up. I am very disappointed and upset. I had high hopes for this product since my other products are fantastic. I think it’s just a design flaw on this item. Mainly being because instead of it being a case the iPad goes into and clips onto the keyboard, it’s just a magnetic covering on the iPad and you place the iPad itself directly into the clips. I would exchange for a replacement but pretty sure it is past the time frame of my purchase.

A great quality dependable product for my iPad. No issues at this time. Turns my iPad into a laptop.
