Review on 🔤 Brydge 10.2 Wireless Keyboard: iPad 9th, 8th & 7th Gen Compatible, Backlit Keys, Long Battery Life - Space Gray by Devin Jirsa

I really like this keyboard because it turns the iPad into a "laptop". This is exactly what I was looking for and I think the typing is pretty good. I am actually writing this review on it. It's heavy enough that the iPad can be tilted to its limit without tipping over. The tips have just the right amount of stiffness for easy adjustment yet a firm grip. Build quality is good, but this is clearly not an Apple product. There's just no such "feeling". Using Micro-USB instead of USB-C is disappointing. The color is pretty close to my iPad Space Gray. Battery life was good. I have only had to charge it once since I received it over 6 months ago. It's easy to attach and detach, which I like as I often use the iPad 'naked'. That's the problem. I don't know if this is a specific Brydge issue or a Bluetooth/iPad issue, but it's still quite annoying. The keyboard goes into sleep mode after about 10 minutes without a key being pressed. Obviously this is done to save battery power and I wouldn't have a problem with it other than it takes over 6 seconds to reconnect every time. I want to type a lot and nothing happens for at least 6-8 seconds. The on-screen keyboard comes up when I click on a text field and on Brydge I have to press a button and wait 6-8 seconds before I can type anything. It was a bit annoying at first and I thought I'd get used to it, but over the months I've gotten just as annoyed, if not more so. I haven't seen anyone comment on this topic yet. Were it not for the connection lag, this would be a solid 4 star product. who spoke on the subject. Were it not for the connection lag, this would be a solid 4 star product. who spoke on the subject.
