Great keyboard. Could be improved

Before I start writing my review, I just want to say that I type on this iPad keyboard. After using the IEGrow keyboard for iPad, I noticed some differences between the two versions.1. The keys of this keyboard are not as sensitive as those of the IEGrow keyboard. As you type, some letters are not registered. You must then go back and retype the words with the missing letters. I'll give you an example sentence without editing. "This cyborg is amazing. It's by far the best on the market for its range of features and its very affordable prices.” As you can see, several obvious words are missing letters. This is direct input without resorting to unregistered editing keys. I'm not sure if the keyboard is doing this because it's new or it's a defect. So far that's not a huge disadvantage as I'm always editing what I type. For those of you who use this keyboard to type a quick message, be sure to read it again. Another thing I noticed between this keyboard and my IEGrow keyboard is how quietly text is typed. When I type on the IEGrow keyboard, the keyboard makes a slight clatter due to the way the case opens. The top holding the iPad opens, touching the table and lifting the bottom slightly. This causes rattling. This keyboard is open plan, with part of the iPad case sitting on top of the keyboard itself. Everything stands still when typing, so it doesn't rattle. Although this keyboard costs about the same as the other and has more options, it is thicker and bulkier. Aesthetically, I think the IEGrow keyboard case looks more refined as it is thinner and has the look of aluminum metal. This keyboard is mostly made of plastic or looks like plastic. However, if you prefer functionality to aesthetics, then this keyboard is for you. In my case, functional wins. I am attaching some photos for size comparison. The keyboard on the left is IEGrow and the one on the right is the one I'm considering. Now let's get to the important part. What can this keyboard do? Like most other keyboards on the market, it can be opened and closed using the sleep/wake function. But unlike other keyboards, this one can rotate 360 degrees and flip on itself. Now you can use it as a tablet without a keyboard. It comes with beautiful white backlit keys. This feature is great for typing in a poorly lit area. The upper right side has a bottom for easy pairing and multiple indicator lights to let you know the battery level, charging and pairing. A slight downside to the ability to rotate the screen 360 degrees is the fact that it still does so when the keyboard is closed and retracted. I've noticed it spinning back and forth in my pocket several times. I don't know the long term effects of rubbing. I think the company can easily fix this by adding a magnetic feature on either side of the keyboard where the hinge is. You can still rotate the screen at any time and prevent the screen from sliding when not in use. Overall I like this keyboard. The downsides I mentioned don't seem to be major. Those are the things that caught my eye and wanted to mention. I give this item 4 stars because I think it could be better.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Useless features
