Review on πŸ“± Brydge 10.5 Keyboard for iPad Pro 10.5 inch - Gold Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard with Backlit Keys by Bill Pool

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Is this what I was looking for?

When I recently bought an iPad Air 3 (2019) to replace my 5 year old iPad Air, I found that Belkin doesn't make the keyboard cases I'm used to. So I read the reviews and ordered a Fintie keyboard case. Suffice it to say that the low cost (around $35) was the only positive (well, I liked the color/pattern choice). So back to research. I chose a Logitech Folio, an Apple keyboard, and this Brydge keyboard. I bought a Brydge keyboard and it arrived today and is exactly what I was looking for. Easy setup (instant pairing), VERY responsive keyboard - all typos my own - and very similar to my previous Belkin. I bought to protect the iPad, will not let the clamps work. But I'm not traveling right now so I'll be using it mainly at home where I can backup my iPad. I'll keep looking for an additional case that works. Anyway, there was a $30 discount coupon that made it about the same price as my Belkin keyboard case, and I regret I didn't spend $35 on a Fentie. The backlighting of the keys is enough not to distract attention. The clip hinges are strong enough to hold your iPad at any angle you want. It takes a bit of maneuvering to scroll up from the bottom of the iPad since the keyboard won't let you reach it. , but you can drag the iPad up a bit if you need this feature.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good, but not great
