I have been really excited to receive my Brydgeport Keyboard. I also have the Apple Keyboard and liked it was lightweight, and did not need Bluetooth. But the keys were too flat, soundless, and the characters symbols on the keys rubbed off in only 2-3 months. The good about the Brydgeport is that is is solidly built, the keys are have a nice feel for it, and I like the ease of setting it up! However, aside from it being soooo heavy (in part because it is solidly built), the IPad Pro keeps falling backwards, and I am uncertain that the battery is as solid as claimed. I charged my keyboard over night, and it had a solid 4 blinks (to indicate full charge). But by the end of the first day, the blinks are down to 3. The very next day it was down to 2 blinks. I haven't worn down the charge completely, but I have a hard time believing it will last 3 weeks as some have claimed. I've contacted customer support, mostly to find a way from my screen dropping back. The other issues I can live with.

I ordered my Brydge Pro 12.9 keyboard way back in March or April, and I was beginning to think it was never going to arrive. Well, after several back and forth emails with customer service, I finally received my keyboard yesterday, and I've got to say this is by far the best iPad keyboard I've ever used. PERIOD! How good is it? Well my hand keeps reaching for a track pad, because I think I'm typing on a laptop instead of my iPad Pro! Key travel seems perfect to me with just the right amount of resistance. Build quality is on par with anything Apple has produced. If the rated 3 months of battery use is close to being true, then this truly could make my iPad Pro my laptop replacement. If I had any complaints it would be the lack of a slip cover. While the included leather bag is very nice, I'd like to have something a bit more compact so that I could shove them both in my backpack without fear of either of them getting knicked or scratched. Bravo, Brydge team. You've pulled off a remarkable product and I'll be sure to post a proper review on my blog.

Finally got my long awaited Brydge keyboard for the Ipad Pro after waiting for what seemed like forever. I love how flush it is when closed and that I can adjust the angle of the Ipad (unlike the Apple keyboard, which is at a fixed angle). The keyboard feels great and i even bought a Brydge Mini for my gf who is going to use her new "tiny laptop" for grad school. Great product!!

Despite the (pretty inexcusably) long wait (I pre-ordered in January for advertised "shipping in April"), I am happy with the keyboard (arrived in August). I was so frustrated with the repeated delays, that I asked Brydge to send me a silver one, rather than the gold I had originally ordered, in order to get the keyboard sooner. I can live with the silver keyboard attached to my gold iPad Pro, but it's a compromise. The keyboard itself seems solid and works well. Mine arrived with a minor blemish inside the recessed well on the right that accommodates the iPad holder - a section is missing the silver paint (Quality Control issue) - but I wasn't going to send it back given the time-frame. There's much to like about the design and features, which is why I waited for it so long without canceling. One niggle is that the Home key has a delay sometimes, which is probably due to bluetooth waking up, and the delay makes you want to press it again or hold it pressed for longer - and a long press then brings up Siri, instead of showing the Home page. Otherwise, it's great to have a keyboard and be able to use the iOS shortcuts and command keys. Now I wish more apps actually made use of keyboard shortcuts!

I finally got mine too. I love it. Love the way the iPad fits into it, easily and safely. The touch is great too, feels just like a laptop keyboard. I would recommend this to a friend or anyone.

You will forget you are using an iPad with this Keyboard. I keep looking for the touch pad. My only complaint is the micro USB charging connection. Why not make it a lightning connector like the iPad. It is just another cable to loose. But other than that it is perfect.

I simply love it. All of the problems associated with the smaller original Brydge have been fixed. Again, thanks a million for a wonderful high-quality product. THANKS.

It was a long wait, but it's every thing is hoped for. Easy to use and for a late bloomer in the tec world easy to work with.id purchase another one if I had the need for it.
