Review on πŸ”‹ Coastacloud Ultra Slim Backlit Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with 7-Colors, Universal Portable Keyboard with Stand for iPad iPhone Samsung iOS Android Windows Tablets Phones - Rechargeable and Optimized for SEO by Brian Potter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very good value for money despite two shortcomings!

For less than $20, this is an incredible deal, especially for iPad users who can't afford or don't want to spend the money Apple charges for a Bluetooth keyboard. And for $20 less than the competition, you get a backlit keyboard that's second to none in the Apple world. Apple always insists that even a basic iPad can replace your laptop (or Chromebook). But not without keyboard and mouse support. The former doesn't replace my Win10 Acer, but it does make my iPad more than an overpriced streaming device. However, there are two downsides to be aware of, one minor, one major. The stand is ok but very thin. You can't trust your iPad, let alone the iPad Pro. You need to back it up with something more reliable or you'll be replacing your valuable purchase sooner than you thought. The main downside, however, is that the delete/sleep key sits directly above the back key due to the compactness of the detachable keyboard. It's a magnet for irritation. Unless you're the world's most skilled typist, you'll accidentally hit it at an alarming rate and have to restart your tablet. It's beyond annoying, but it's not a deal breaker. Not at this price.

Pros
  • Comfortable typing
Cons
  • Unreliable
