Review on πŸ”’ CHESONA iPad Pro 12.9 Keyboard: 5th Gen, Backlit, Detachable, Pencil Holder by John Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great keyboard for the price! Love the backlit keyboard.

I was a bit skeptical to buy this keyboard and case due to some bad reviews but there were also many POSITIVE reviews so I decided to give it a try. First off, I'm not sure what the guy was talking about when he said there was a SERIOUS lag in keyboard response time when typing. That was my BIGGEST problem, but I just started typing as fast as I could using random keystrokes with letters that didn't make sense so I could see if there was a lag. IT WAS NONE! The keys are easy to type and feel like a real keyboard, unlike Apple's iPad Pro keyboard. Another issue was that several reviewers said the case/keyboard was heavy. It's a little heavier than the Apple iPad Pro Keyboard, but not by much, so I weighed both! My son bought a new iPad Pro and Apple iPad keyboard which weighed 2lb 14oz and the case and keyboard along with the iPad Pro weighed 3lb 8oz so I don't think there is much of a difference . It's a bit thicker in width than an iPad Pro with an Apple keyboard, but that's not a big deal to me. I love the look of the case and the keyboard backlight is AMAZING! My son now regrets buying a $199 Apple keyboard and regrets not waiting and looking around like I did. I spent $70 so I could buy other things with the $129 saved! Everyone thinks that a color keyboard is the coolest thing in the world. Very happy with my purchase so far. The ONLY reason I decided not to give 5 stars is because, as some reviewers have said, it's a little difficult to get the Apple Pencil out of the storage slot. I was going to give it 4 stars but the keyboard and case are great and a small issue wasn't enough to deduct a full star. If the company had simply made more room for the pen slot, it would have been easier to reach.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Slightly torn
