Review on πŸ“± Huafly iPad Pro 12.9 inch Backlit Keyboard Case - Slim, Portable & 360Β° Rotatable with Bluetooth 5.0 by Mario Madden

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Almost perfect then epic failure

This keyboard was better than the others in many ways. Unfortunately I had to deduct 2 stars and return it for a couple of important reasons. What I liked is that it turned my iPad into a no-frills laptop. It looked and felt like an Airpad but with the versatility of a tablet. The keyboard was very responsive, the bluetooth connection was fast, the rotating neck for the screen was very solid and held every position I put it in. But the first obstacle was the keyboard backlight. It looked great but was useless if I stopped typing for more than 10 seconds because the light would turn off automatically. It turns on as soon as you press a key, but that defeats the purpose of a backlit keyboard. I have to light it up BEFORE I press a key so I know I'm pressing it. I can't believe they designed this to turn off after 10 seconds. That's ridiculous! Then I discovered that it was almost impossible to remove the iPad without damaging the case. I tried for 5 minutes to gently remove my iPad but ended up having to force it out of a corner and pry open the case where the volume buttons are located. I think Zagg is still the only real option for quality Bluetooth keyboards.
