Good keyboard + trackpad for iPad

The case is a standard polycarbonate hard shell case. It offers good scratch protection, although I wish it was a bit firmer for better protection and maybe a bit of scratch resistant padding on the corners and back. Cutouts are conveniently placed at ports and openings. While others like to display their Apple logo, I prefer it to be fully covered on the back for maximum protection. I feel like the hinge can offer a wider angle adjustment as it currently only offers a little over 90 degrees angle which I think is optimal. not the most comfortable working angle when using it on your lap. Ideally, it would be nice to have a 180 degree adjustment or even a detachable option. Fortunately, the hinge seems secure with the iPad. Considering this is a combo keyboard case I am very impressed with the keyboard. I like that it charges via a USB-C port, so one less cable. The keys are well spaced with good spacing between them. They have good trips with good reviews. The response to keystrokes is also good if an exact keystroke is registered and there is no delay when typing text documents. The standard Apple dedicated function keys (brightness, media, options, commands, etc.) are in the same place as your Macbook, which is great and should be very familiar to those who also own Mac laptops. What worries me is that the lid-lock indicator isn't built directly into the key, but instead sits awkwardly in the lower-right corner. Your gaming keyboard with rainbow or breath effect. Luckily, there's a monochrome option too, so you can look a little more professional if you need to. The trackpad is surprisingly good and works quite well. It's a decent size and quite delicate. Not only is it precise and easy to use, but multi-finger scroll gestures and other actions worked seamlessly. It's actually better than some cheap or mid-range laptops, which is pretty impressive. Pairing is very easy. Charging is easy (thanks to the USB-C connector). However, I would like it to have a more visual indicator light than a flashing light. Love the fact that it has a standby mode so the battery doesn't drain when you're not using it. Overall I like the keyboard case. I find this to be a good option for those who primarily use their iPad as a laptop replacement and typically print on a hard, flat surface. It's not the perfect case (especially for those who like to take their iPads off when not using the keyboard), but given the decent trackpad and button response, I think it's one of the best options on the budget.
