Brydge 12.9-Inch MAX Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad Pro (Space Gray)

Got it for my sister and she loves it

Have an iPad 12.9 6th gen. I wanted a Bluetooth keyboard that I could use connected to the device but also have my iPad on a stand and sit back on the couch while still operating. The new Brydge has a permanent top piece so you can’t use it separately. Figured I would try this version but thought the gen 6 iPad version wouldn’t fit. I was pleasantly surprised to find replacement rubber pieces in the box that fit the gen 5 iPad Pro which happens to be the exact same dimensions as gen 6. Absolutely perfect!! My iPad fits and this keyboard basically turns it into a laptop. But I can also use it separately. 1000% recommend this keyboard. Battery life is awesome and the trackpad works perfectly.

Overall, I really like the keyboard. The keys feel good and function quite well. Sometimes, though, the track pad gets swiped and may move your page and disrupt your flow while typing. Also, the range of motion/angles makes more for a “laptop” feel. You will have to remove the tablet completely in order to use the pencil effectively in some cases. However, not complaining, just personal experience thus far. Would still recommend for anyone looking for a good backlit, good looking keyboard. It makes the iPad look like a MacBook Pro.

Pos. Poor designDont buy....great finish and materials though

Over the years I’ve been a dedicated BRYDGE K/B user. I’ve purchased a total of 6 for my various iPads, and they’ve operated & held up beautifully. I’ve also recommended them to many who were also extremely satisfied with them.After recently upgrading to the Pro 12.9” M2 Gen 6., I ordered this without hesitation — even with the caveat I’d have to switch out my the hinge cover pads (2 sets included) to accommodate my 6th Gen.After doing so, I realized the hinges were still too narrow to safely accommodate my iPad.After gently widening the hinge space I inserted my iPad.Within 3-4 days I noticed a crack beneath one of the hinges! With a sickening sensation , I carefully removed my iPad to discover it was only the screen protector that had cracked, not my brand new $2500 iPad.The replacement silicone hinge pads had also slipped gradually with each opening. The metal hinges were literally millimeters away from contacting the screen directly.With a new screen cover, I’m now using my iPad in a ZUGU case w/bluetooth K/B, but bc I purchased the BRYDGE at a steep discount, and really prefer that setup, I intend to try it again with the 2nd set of hinge pads firmly glued-in, and with further hinge widening… keeping a very close watch.BRYDGE why cant you simply produce a K/B case specifically for the iPad Pro 12.9” 5th/6th Gen, rather than expecting the consumer to do the work for you with some chintzy tape-in pads tossed in the box!?!This is how good companies go bad, and eventually out of business.Sadly, I cannot in good faith recommend this model.Should you take a chance on it—- just be very vigilant!Thanks for reading,- CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer

Brydge Pro+ Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro is by far THE best keyboard I have used with iPad in the last several years. I have tried many, and this one exceeds all my expectations. It truly turns my iPad Pro into a MacBook "lite." I had the previous version of the Brydge Pro Wireless Keyboard (no trackpad) and really enjoyed how easy it was to use and how fluid it was for typing. But not having a trackpad or using Apple Pencil makes it an 8 of 10 experience. I have been using the new Brydge Pro+ Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro for the last week and cannot find anything negative to say about it. The trackpad works like a charm and really gives me that laptop feel in an iPad. I do like the new design in the hinge where the iPad sits. It feels a lot sturdier and stable. Overall, THIS IS the best iPad keyboard for those looking to transform your iPad into a laptop.

This thing is pretty well made. Its sturdy, goes well with the ipad.The only 2 issues are a) the rubber gripers kind of suck and tear. So taking it in and out of the thing blows.It holds well though.Next you have to press space to wake it. I want to just move the mouse to wake. But you can press space and then space again and the. I opens to the Home Screen.The backing it comes with blows and doesn’t stay on so im going to 3d print a new one with an Apple Pencil holder.Typing on it is nice, and the mouse is prey fluid. A bit clicky, but definitely usable.

When opening the box I found the right holder loose inside, this is not attached to the keyboard. Its shaft was fractured (see image). The keyboard is still operational, but much less robust. I have a 5th gen IPAD 12.9" Pro and the rubber pads serve their purpose but they are quite difficult to install correctly, be patient when doing this job. I plan to keep it, as this keyboard is a good choice, but of course you are not expecting to recieve a broken item, I hope to get some compensation from the seller.
