Works well and is inexpensive

Works very well with my iPad Pro 10.5. The Apple Pencil slot is a nice touch, and the iPad itself is reasonably secure, although it takes a lot of effort to press the buttons on the sides of the iPad when it's in the case, especially the power button. The keyboard itself is only magnetically attached to the lid/body, which is handy in terms of flexible positioning, but can be tricky to type on your lap. The functionality of the keyboard is good and I especially like that the keyboard supports Android, iOS or Windows "modes". At first this seemed like an odd feature for an iPad keyboard, but when I'm using my iPad to remotely access another computer with the Screens app, I can hold down Fn and the E/Win key to go into the switch Windows mode. In Windows mode, when I press a function key like F1, which would normally start an IOS search, it sends the actual F1 keypress. When I want F1 to start IOS search, I press F1 + Q/iOS to enter IOS mode, then F1 starts IOS search. The trackpad works well with the latest version of iOS, so it works more or less like a regular laptop trackpad. As with most Bluetooth keyboards, it takes a few seconds to wake up. Unlike some Bluetooth keyboards, it doesn't "remember" keystrokes when waking up/connecting to the iPad, so you might end up hitting the same key until the computer responds, which is only a minor inconvenience. The case protects the iPad, the keyboard part itself is not protected, and I've already slightly bent a corner of the metal on the back of the keyboard. It still works well and the damage isn't visible from the front, but I had some drop protection with the keyboard itself. Very good value for money.
