Brydge Pro 11 Keyboard Compatible with iPad Pro 11-inch 1st Generation Model (2018) | Aluminum Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Backlit Keys | Long Battery Life | (Silver)

If you’re familiar with the older model, you’ll know that the latches that hold the iPad in place were always a problem. Well, Brydge has fixed that. The new design is amazing and using the keyboard is a breeze. I’m loving it. The functionality it lends to the iPad cannot be beat. The weight is substantial and not flimsy, which is probably why it’s so durable. If you’re not familiar with Brydge, they last a long long time.

I’ve had the Brydge Pro for about 2-3 weeks now. I Really like the keyboard and it really turns the iPad into a MacBook like feel. The appearance is really nice and the added weight is expected with a premium style keyboard. I do have a few issues with it though. Upon receiving the keyboard, I had to remove my tempered glass screen protector in order to even use the keyboard. It was such a tight fit with the protector on the ipad wouldn’t seat correctly in the hinges. I contacted Brydge about this and I was told that i could purchase they’re $29.99 screen protector that is “guaranteed” to work. So much for the $20 screen protectors I paid for prior to this purchase. I feel like that should be included with they keyboard at the price point you pay for it. I have not been able to get the Brydge to come up to a full 100% charge even after charging the full 8 hours upon initial use. I’ve gotten as high as 98% and currently it’s at 95% while on the charger as I’m typing this. There’s also some type of black spots as shown in the picture that are on the keyboard. I’m sure it’s just some sort of mass production mishap that doesn’t affect the functionality. You can barely see it but it does take away some cool points for not catching this type of thing in QA.I haven’t tried the usb mode but I’m sure it works just fine. The hinges are very well made and can support the weight of the iPad in most positions until it gets to far back without your hands resting on the keyboard. The rubber feet on bottom are very good at keeping the unit stable on any surface. Brydge did a really great job in designing this unit. I would recommend a second or third generation with trackpad support since the iPad OS is capable of mouse support now. That would be awesome.Other than that, I love my new keyboard!!

I purchased this because it had a good rating even if it was the most expensive case. The keyboard is backlit once you find out how to turn it on that being said their user manual is not great. The magnetic back keeps falling off which is really a bad thing. I have not contacted the seller as of yet about this issue, I will. I love the keyboard as it is very much like my MacBookPro. I keys are perfectly spaced and and the shortcuts are as described. So I am not really sure if this is a great value for the money. I like the fact that it is like a laptop and does not tip over or have to pull down a stand like the ZAGG case which I also considered i just wish it had a full snap on back cover. Not many keyboard cases with good reviews available for the new iPad Pro 11. So very limited on being able to have a sturdy case that looks and feels like a laptop. Not sure if i would buy it again.

Bought this keyboard, took it out of the box. Plugged it in to get a full charge on it. The red light went off so I figured it was at 100%, NO I turned it back on and it was already down to 97%!! I didn’t even use it yet! Read other reviews that key strokes were missing when typing. Can not make a phone call to Customer Service you have to email them and they email you back. I asked about the key strokes and the response was that since it is not an Apple product it has these problems. I sent it back and received a refund. A month went by and I gave them a second try order another one thinking maybe that one was defective, NO same issue. Sent back the second. I won’t buy again unless they fix this problem.

I use this all the time for working on the go with my iPad and can't say enough nice things. Although I am upgrading to the version with the mousepad soon as it arrives :)The battery could last a little longer; I get about a week or so of use on a charge maybe more but use this thing all day for a ton of typing and use. The hinges are the winner about this device. Many of the keyboards out there only allow you to place the ipad on a flat surface they aren't easy to put on your lap or use at an angle. This you can tilt forward or backward and it stays in place. Not the easiest to get the iPad in and out like some others out there but it is not really necessary 99% of the time!Easy to charge as the port is USB C just like the iPad Pro so when you're done charging your iPad pro you can charge the keyboard too. Only thing I don't like is that you cannot use the keyboard while charging but just take a break here and there while keyboard charges or charge over night; I don't recommend that though to keep battery life perfecto.Many keyboard shortcuts and is more spacious than many other keyboards for iPad out there allowing you to truly type a ton on the go, get this!!!
