Works better than Apple Magic Keyboard

While working with Apple computers, I used genuine Apple peripherals. This was until my Magic Keyboard stopped working due to a "device not recognized" error. The Brydge keyboard was a pleasant surprise. I type faster and with fewer mistakes. The overall feel and touch is more like using a laptop. The display doesn't overhang the keyboard, so you can use a full keyboard, including brightness control, backlight on/off, volume control, and more. The tilt angle of the display can be easily…

Overpriced options available, very acceptable cheaper options.

Too expensive for me. Excellent keyboard and trackpad work well. The dreaded process of connecting to an iPad is doomed or at least becoming inefficient. The battery life was amazing. The magnetic "back" is a joke. A thin piece of something that's supposed to protect your iPad. Will fall off, slip out, especially when opening or closing. If they made it a latch in a case that would fit the entire iPad in much the same way they clip it to a keyboard, that would be almost perfect. I ended up…

Pros
  • Glitter

  • Useless features

Rugged Electronics on Keyboards

I bought this to replace a freestanding Logitech keyboard. This keyboard was full-size and could be connected to three different devices at the touch of a button. This keyboard holds the iPad firmly. It matches the size of the tablet, so the keyboard becomes cramped. I will get used to it. Sturdy and durable, it's made of quality materials, except for the back cover, which is a flat piece of plastic with magnets. It slips easily and is not very useful. I really like that this keyboard holds any

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
  • Crumpled

Excellent, just what the doctor ordered

I've looked at many of these keyboards and was only minutes away from buying an Apple Magic Keyboard. So glad I didn't. Also very glad that I didn't go for cheaper models under 100€. I absolutely need a trackpad, and reviews of cheaper models have been heartbreaking. The Magic gets good reviews, but it's an Apple product and once you're in the garden, you usually stay there. I would know. Anyway, Michelle Nugen has a great Wall Street Journal article "How to turn an iPad into a Laptop" or…

  • Free for educational purposes

Brydge keyboard with trackpad not for everyone

My iPad as a body part at home; either in my lap or open on the table or waiting for me to take it. I have owned five (5) Brydge keyboards to date including this new one with trackpad which I have returned. I have tried other detachable keyboards but prefer the Brydge for its style, weight, ease of use and functionality. I've never used a trackpad, but I've used a mouse with my PC, so I thought it might be a good thing. What happened is that when typing emails or letters, my fingers would touch

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

But the quality is great.

There are three concerns: First, it is recommended that you remove the existing screen protector to avoid putting undue pressure on the screen where the hinges pinch the iPad. It makes sense, but now I have to let go of the texture I liked: the screen protector that let my fingers glide effortlessly across the tablet's surface; the "natural" texture isn't nearly as smooth, which is why I'm not thrilled with the au naturale texture. Second, the iPad sits so low on the hinges that I can't swipe…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Dear
