Review on Brydge 10.5 Keyboard for iPad Air (2019) and iPad Pro 10.5-inch – Aluminum Bluetooth 4.2 Keyboard with Backlit Keys in Silver by Vincent Burton

The quality here is something unreal. Suddenly, my iPad Pro looked like a MacBook, but not quite. I liked the origami-style Apple Smart Keyboard, but the Brydge's key travel and backlighting are too compelling to pass up. Yes, Brydge adds significant overall weight. And unfortunately, swiping up to the dock has become less accessible, but that's because this design predates the change made in iOS 11. You use a keyboard shortcut to bring up the dock for multitasking and dragging, but it's leaking in the end. It's also great that Caps Lock lights up, BUT unlike the desktop OS, the Caps feature is not set by the system, it depends on the application. So you can turn on the caps and light them up and then switch apps and that it's not caps? It's not Bridge's fault, but it's something that's inherited from desktop and doesn't quite match iOS. Appreciate that the battery status is shown in the battery widget, nice touch Brydge! I want to remap the Siri button to the dock's raise/lower button. Back to the weight, what are you gonna do? It feels premium, which is very similar to Apple. It's tight and I like the feel of aluminum. The weight is secondary.
