Review on 🔋 Brydge 10.2 Wireless Keyboard: Backlit, Long Battery Life - Compatible with iPad 9th, 8th & 7th Gen (Gold) by Mark Lodge

I really like this keyboard because it makes the iPad look like a laptop. This is exactly what I was looking for and I think the typing is pretty good. I am actually writing this review on it. It's heavy enough that the iPad can be tilted to its limit without tipping over. The tips have just the right stiffness to be easy to adjust and still hold securely. Build quality is good, but this is clearly not an Apple product. There's just no such "feeling". Using Micro-USB instead of USB-C is disappointing. The color is pretty close to my iPad Space Gray. Battery life was good. I have only had to charge it once since I received it over 6 months ago. It's easy to attach and detach, which I like as I often use the iPad 'naked'. That's the problem. I don't know if this is a specific Brydge issue or a Bluetooth/iPad issue, but it's still quite annoying. The keyboard goes into sleep mode after about 10 minutes without a key being pressed. Obviously this is done to save battery and I wouldn't have a problem with it other than it takes over 6 seconds to reconnect every time. I want to type a lot and nothing happens for at least 6-8 seconds. The on-screen keyboard comes up when I click on a text field and on Brydge I have to press a key and wait 6-8 seconds before I can type. It was a bit annoying at first and I thought I'd get used to it, but as the months have gone by I've found myself just as annoyed, if not more so. I haven't seen anyone comment on this topic yet. Were it not for the connection lag, this would be a solid 4 star product.
