   The keyboard and trackpad are awesome so far. The only thing is the magnetic cover on the back. It does not stay. It slip and slides and is basically pointless as it doesn’t stay in place. I wish there was a solution to get it to stay. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star review.

   This is a HUGE improvement over the Apple Magic Keyboard. Great feel, feels like QUALITY in all regards. I really like the three brightness levels of the backlight. Pairs easily, has a great feel. Trackpad and function keys are a bonus. A little heavier than Apple, but not enough to matter, it is much more stable in all situations. I pondered this purchase for way to long. If you are considering a keyboard for your iPad, forget the Apple, it is way overpriced for what it is, feels cheesy as well.

   Would buy again. Actually I did. Make sure you know the year of the device you bought.

   I really like this product. It basically makes my iPad into a touch screen laptop. Highly recommend it!

   First, the new model has beefed up hinges. I needed these because I had broken 3-4 just by minor drops, I.e. 18″. Additionally, I wish you would put something on the cover to protect the two exposed edges. I broke my iPad screen when my iPad drooped 18″ and hit on the corner. I think it could be done by making a kind of cushioned pocket in the cover to protect the edges. However, I love your product.

   It is a perfect match. You should get it. No regret at all.

   I upgraded to the Pro+ 12.9 after accidentally damaging my original Pro 12.9. I contacted support to see if I could get a replacement but without the original proof of purchase I couldn’t get it replaced. I was given a personal 20% off code and decided to go with the Pro+ for the added trackpad. The Pro+ is everything I love about the original Pro but with a trackpad. By having a trackpad, it makes the laptop experience of iPad exceptionally better. Only issue is when it comes to Multitouch gestures (scrolling, etc.) The keyboard will often have a bit of trouble clearly recognizing Multitouch gestures and they don’t come out smoothly. As far as keyboard goes, the typing experience is great. The travel distance is very nice and the keys feel very clicky, two things that Apple’s own Magic Keyboard does not offer. Spacing of keys on the Pro+ are also nice. Build quality of the keyboard is very good as well. A nice aluminum to match the colour of you iPad that’s also very strong. The hinges have been redesigned from the regular Pro and have been made larger. This could likely stop (or at least minimize) any possible damage to the hinges from incorrectly removing the iPad (which is what happened to my original Pro.) One final thing to mention is price. The Pro+ is significantly less than Apple’s counterpart, but I would not suggest picking up the Pro+ unless it’s on sale or you have a discount code (or even better, both.) I’ve given this review 4/5 but it would definitely be 5/5 if Multitouch issues were fixed (a software update is supposed to be coming soon at the time of this review – 04/11/2021.) If you can find the Pro+ keyboard on sale, I highly suggest ordering one. Whether it be for work or sitting at home, the Brydge Pro+ makes the experience of the iPad Pro much better.

   The keyboard felt good, it typed well, but the mouse was buggy and really sensitive. Since my hands cover the mouse, more often than not, the cursor would jump to another place or a link would get clicked un-intendidly. After asking if a setting could be changed, they said it couldn’t.

   Love the product only has one flaw the rubber on the grips comes off when you slide the iPad down in the slot. I kept putting it back in to fix and finally went and bought some rubber grips to replace. Other than that love it!

    Having owned a number of Brydge keyboards, I am very disappointed in my latest Brydge Pro+. I have experienced great difficulty in inserting and removing my iPad. After very few exchanges, I have damaged the rubber insert on the left hinge (see photos). I have also been very disappointed in the battery life as it is NOWHERE in comparison to past Brydge keyboards. The touchpad is a little to sensitive and reacts for very light brushes when using the keyboard.

    Two finger swipe still does not work after two major updates. Not sure this will ever catch up to the Apple Magic Keyboard.

    I bought this case in March right after purchasing the 11 inch IPad Pro. The first keyboard didn’t work and I was able to return it for a new one. Support was very helpful although I had to jump through some hoops. I was worried about how little protection the case offers but the keyboard works great, connectivity is almost immediate after sleep mode, the battery life is really good and it charges with the iPad cable which is very convenient. This morning I dropped it when is was closed for the first time and the screen is completely cracked. The lack of protection is a huge flaw in an otherwise great product. I would not buy this again. There are much cheaper options that have more protection.

    I purchased this because of the price factor. It took quite a while to receive the keyboard…much longer than expected. However, after receiving it it has worked very nicely. It provides good protection for the iPad, they keyboard is responsive. Although I haven’t mastered all of the track pad gestures, it seems to respond quite well. I am overall impressed.

    It’s one the best iPad keyboards I have ever used. It is super solid and the keyboard feel is as good as my MacBook Pro.

    So far, so good. I like the responsiveness and the touchpad is an awesome update. The only thing that I don’t are the rubber grips that hold the iPad in place. While bigger than its predecessor, it’s still disappointing because the rubber shifts and folds on itself. My old brydge is unusable because the rubber won’t stay in place, which is one reason I upgraded. Hopefully this one lasts.

    So this has a stick-on back cover and a kluge for a iPad attachment, no holster for the pencil (…neither does Apple, shame on both companies!) Yeah you can save money with Brydge trackpad but…

    Scrolling is also unnatural, and gestures are not working properly. I am regretting after purchasing. Buy carefully…..

    Aesthetically pleasing. Rather Heavy. Great alternative to the apple keyboard. Must have makes the usage to the iPad easier to use. Like having another laptop. Useful for travel. Easy to setup and connect to iPad. The light on the keyboard is a great touch.

    The keyboard is great and really useful; however, I think the firmware should keep receiving updates and fixing bugs (it freezes when scrolling down and have to reboot it). I would like it to be able of zooming the pictures with the trackpad, and copy and paste with tree fingers just like the iPad. Anything else is fine, buttons work well and lighting is perfect. Battery is also good. It even has a battery saving mode when I’m not using it and it automatically gets suspended until I touch it.

    I disappointed with the touchpad. It’s very different from Apple’s magic touchpad. But design is very cool.
