Review on πŸ”² Logitech CREATE Backlit Keyboard Case with Smart Connector for iPad Pro 9.7" - Enhanced SEO, Black by Kaushik Hall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The keyboard is cool, but the backlight is lame!

I had two iPad keyboard cases and the hinges just fell out after about a year. Then I found this. I loved it and most importantly it has a backlit keyboard like the others. I've only had it a few weeks and I really like the keyboard for typing, the screen is at the perfect angle and it sits very comfortably on my lap which was a big issue for me. The case itself is very durable and I can put my iPen in a case (with a protective case) but it's not very convenient to get it out. However, the backlit keyboard does not work! It shows up when I plug in the iPad for the first time, but after that you can't turn it on at all. You can pick up the iPad and reconnect, but it only takes about 4 seconds and doesn't even light up while you're typing. And yes, the iPad is fully charged. That was very important to me. I've tried cleaning the connections - to no avail. I like the keyboard and plan to keep it, but of course I was disappointed with the backlight. 12/13 This is the most annoying keyboard ever! The backlight is completely random and almost never turns on. This lets me type most of the time, but you have to fiddle with it many times to turn it on - when the iPad keyboard shows up, you know you're going to have a hard time getting the keyboard to work. I have to turn on the light in my room to type, and I bought it mainly because I've found that Logitech makes good products and backlit keys. I've just ordered another keyboard similar to the ones I've had in the past as I just can't take this keyboard anymore - very frustrated and very disappointed in Logitech!

Pros
  • Ipad Pro 9.7 case with Smart Jack offers the most advanced connectivity without the need for Bluetooth pairing
Cons
  • Not the best
