Nice and solid keyboard that works

This is my second Chesona keyboard. I bought the one with USB ports and I liked this one and decided to try this new one with the trackpad. I think I like this one better. It has a slimmer profile, is lightweight and not too bulky. I also like that it rotates. So when I don't want to use the keyboard, I can just rotate it and use it like a regular iPad. The quality seems good (I've had this for about a month), nothing has come loose or anything like that. What about the typing? It is excellent. It's better than the other Chesona keyboard and I can type on it quickly and accurately. I like the button clicks and the good feedback. I also like the action buttons on top. I don't understand why the Magic Keyboard doesn't have them. And what about the trackpad? The trackpad is good and responsive. The gestures take a little getting used to, but become intuitive after a while. The trackpad has to be pressed harder than I'd like, but that's not too bad. Generally very comfortable. Are there any disadvantages? Only one. The side case is too thick and the USB-C ports cannot be connected to the side port. This is very important in my opinion because the iPad Pro needs to be functional in this regard and it prevents that. A USB-C male-to-male adapter might work, but I'd rather not buy one. Overall it's well made and functional and I'm happy with the purchase.
