Review on πŸ”² Logitech Slim Combo Case and Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad (5th & 6th Generation) - Black by Eric Owens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Seems to work out of the box, possibly a security issue

Based on the reviews I found it interesting that so many people have problems with keys that no longer work, especially as several reviews have reported the same same keys. Errors (A, C, space). What really caught my attention was that one reviewer complained that the keyboard was swollen, which is a sign of a bloated lithium-ion battery, which is extremely dangerous. When overheated, overcharged, or deeply discharged, lithium-ion batteries release gas within the battery case, causing the case to expand and eventually explode. Bloating a battery can also cause shorts between the anodes and cathodes inside the battery, causing fires and explosions that have plagued Samsung phones for some time. My theory is that Logitech is using bad batteries in these devices, or misusing the batteries, causing them to swell and pinching the data cable connecting the keyboard keys to the bluetooth module. This is all speculation but I bought the product in an open box to use for a while and see if the battery swells up. At that point I'll either see if CPSC wants to take a look or I'll open it myself and post a warning here if it's a battery issue. In the meantime, users who come to leave feedback here because their keyboard keys have stopped working should open the keyboard, very carefully remove the battery, and keep it in a ventilated glass or metal container with a glass or metal lid until they him can take it in their hands. battery recycler.
