Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Brydge 12.9 Keyboard: Ultimate Aluminum Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9 inch (2017/2015 Models) with Backlit Keys & Long Battery Life in Space Gray by Prince Ruffins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

An interesting thing: Tablet accessories

I like this keyboard app. Looks and feels like a laptop. The keys are responsive, comfortable and quiet. The backlight is only really useful at maximum settings, so you have to press the backlight button 3 times. I've only been using it for a few weeks so can't comment on durability, although it feels really strong. I'd love to give five stars, but I don't like that the keyboard shortcuts aren't well defined. Basically, you either have to use a cheat sheet or try to remember Cmd + Z = Undo, Cmd + x = Cut, etc. The $25 fintie keyboard I use for the iPad 9.7 has function keys clearly labeled. That thing costs $150! (Well, luckily for me, I got mine for the holidays with a $50 coupon, which eased the sting a bit). For that reason I was tempted to only give it 3 stars, but I've added one for a feature that isn't advertised: I've found that you can use the keyboard as a stand when you turn your iPad over, which is pretty cool is. Basically, you get 365-degree rotation without the inevitable broken hinges. look at my picture
