Review on Keyboard Touchpad Function Generation Function by Joshua Donnis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall good keyboard with working touchpad

I'm a little tired of ordering this keyboard as there weren't many reviews about the touchpad. But I have to say that it works very well. The touchpad has two pressable buttons and can perform a large number of multi-finger gestures. (See image) It can't do all the gestures that my MacBook's touchpad can, but that's more likely because iPad mouse support is still in its infancy. The touchpad isn't grungy, but it's not smooth like the Teflon touchpad on a MacBook. You can hardly hear how you slide your finger over it. The keyboard is beautiful. It's smaller than my MacBook's keyboard, but not as small as the official iPad Smart Keyboard. It didn't take long for me to get used to his size. The buttons have a pleasant click. It's not a silent keyboard, but it doesn't get annoyingly loud either. I am pleased. I had loud keyboards. The scary part was that when I received it there was a sticker on the front of the box saying it was for the 7th gen iPad 10.2, but the printed text on the back of the box actually said it was was for the iPad 10.5. I have 10.2 and luckily the sticker was correct. It is made for the iPad 10.2. The keyboard is very thin, which I like. The case itself looks good. Nothing outstanding, but nice. The magnetic clasp is perhaps the weakest part of the entire product. It's not very strong. It doesn't have the solid, strong magnetic grip I was looking for when I closed the case. Since the magnetic closure supports the iPad when using the keyboard, it's also not the most secure practice. So far that has been enough, but sometimes I'm afraid that when I press and click on the iPad screen, the support will fail and my iPad will fall on the table. The iPad fits the case very snugly and I haven't found a quick and easy way to put the iPad back if I wanted to carry it around or use it without the case and keyboard. The keyboard is attached to the case. . You cannot separate the keyboard and case. The keyboard was easy to pair. Plugs in and activates quickly. I like to use my iPad on my lap while sitting in bed. I am writing this as I do this. So it's stable enough when you're typing in bed too.

Pros
  • Great choice
Cons
  • For old
