“Looks great, works well. This is my second Brydge and I liked the first so much that as soon as it stopped working I immediately replaced it with another one. With the first Brydge, I had to contact customer service and they were wonderful. I would highly recommend.”

“Replacement for a broken iPad Smart Keyboard and well worth the money. Iâ€™m still getting used to the slightly smaller keyboard width, but the keys feel great and the build quality is amazing. Having infinite control over the screen angle makes it perfect for video calling too.”

“You will not find a better and more solid keyboard than this. It is solid and the key are great to type on. Having had one of these for an iPad mini some time ago i am glad to see that they have changed the pairing so that it is through one of the keys rather than through a separate button which was prone to being pushed inadvertently. Also, love the ability to see what the battery level is which is unusual on Bluetooth keyboards. You will not be disappointed investing in of these keyboards it will pay you back many times over compared to to others”

“Best practical key board I've used on an ipad, great fit and the colour matched perfectly. A great solution which turns the ipad into a mini PC.”

“As of this writing, the keyboard is on sale for $65. At that price, just buy it, maybe buy two. I’m on my 2nd Bridge keyboard. The IPad is not a media authoring device, it is a media consuming device. I bought an IPad Pro 10.5 in January 2018 and immediately began looking for an iPad. I had high hopes that with these keyboards my iPad would replace my need and use of laptops. It hasn’t for all things. There are somethings that work better on laptop and so I ended up buying a 13inch minimalist HP laptop from Costco for $350 if I’m going to do serious writing - especially at a library or coffee house were I might do some heavy duty writing (I got a minimalist bag that holds both devices nicely). Having said all that... Having said all this keyboard is an awesome addition to the iPad. It takes up no space (tho its relatively heavy). It makes it a million times easier to write. It serves as a nice stand for the IPad - if I’m in bed watching a video, or at a desk or on a plane watching a video or reading an ebook. In January 2018 when the videos for this were coming out the big complaint was that the keyboard would occasionally miss a letter here or there when typting. I experienced this too on my keyboard and that reinforced the notion of not using it for serious authoring. But I still used it like mad and I still needed a cover for the screen and it functioned well that way. Then after a year and a half, the caps lock key fell off, and I couldn’t make it stay. Then in November 2019, while helping my 90 year old mother into the car, I left the ipad w/ keyboard on the hood of the car. After helping my mother, I had forgotten about the IPad. I walked around the back to enter into the car, the slope of the hood was such I didn’t see the IPad was still there. 10 miles later I realized that I didn’t have my iPad with me. I turned around and found the iPad in the parking lot of my mother’s apartment complex. The IPad was un-phased. The keyboard protected it but the keyboard was scuffed and one of the hinges slightly bent. I can’t tell you how great full I was for this. I then kept on using the keyboard as I had before. The Keyboard protected the face of the IPad perfectly. Now occasionally I let it charge all day, but I really didnt’ like not having it. So then in July I ordered a new one. I originally paid $140 at Microcenter for the first one. I paid $100 for the new one. Now (my color) is on sale at $65 - there’s no point looking at any others devices. Meanwhile, the quality of the device has improved significanlty. There is absolutely know sense of the keyboard skipping a letter when I type. I feel so highly of it, 2 weeks ago while visiting my sister I gave her the old one to use with her iPad even though its a different size iPad she’’s able to use it and make it work just fine. And last weekend I visited a friend who has been sick quite a bit and relies heavily on her iPad, I showed her mine and then immediately went on line and bought her a brydge keyboard for her unit. He iPad is gold, I got the gold keyboard for it. It arrived a few days ago and she banging away on it corresponding with friends, reading, llistening and watching videos in bed and so on. So I’ve become a kind of Johnny-Appleseed of Brydge keyboards, and I want to buy them (when they are on sale) for all my friends who use iPads. An iPad without the keyboard is hardly a shadow of the iPad with the keyboard. From time to time, when they are on sale, for very good friends and relatives, I will buy them keyboards. Also the keyboard has other fine features, like the lighted keyboard which is great for typing on planes at night or in the dark, and controls for the brightness of the screen. I spend a great deal of time shopping around and looking at all of the alternative keyboards; apple’s, logic case, everything really, and I couldn’t figure out where to come down on things. When I bought the Brydge, it was with uncertainty but I was sure I liked the thinness and the fact that it had the same color as my iPad (silver). Now that issue is all gone, dead and solved. The Brydge keyboard is the keyboard most worth handling. Again, it (now) functions great as a keyboard. It is stylish and integrates stylistically. It protects the face of the ipad, even when it fell of the hood of my car onto hard pavement. It has integrated controls for the iPad. And it functions as a great holder or stand for watching, reading or using the iPad. There were lots of great ideas for iPad keyboards but this is the one that has won.”
