“The Brydge keyboard looks fantastic and works great! The backlight on the keyboard works extremely well and the keys have a great tactile feel. My iPad looks like a laptop now with the keyboard and the snap on protective cover that I purchased as well. I will definitely buy again when I replace this current ipad”

“Unfortunately as exciting as the promises are that this keyboard makes, I’m overall quite unhappy with how it actually performs. It fails it’s basic job as a typing device as even after following several troubleshooting steps I still experienced many keystrokes to be completely dropped especially at higher typing speeds. Repeated keys would frequently not register (especially noticable when navigating documents via arrow keys) and would drop somewhere around 2% or greater of my input (doesn’t seem like much until you compare it to the Smart Cover Keyboard which has never dropped a keystroke in it’s life or compared to any desktop class keyboard which would almost never do something like this. I also found that the contacts on the board itself were extremely unreliable and would result in keys feeling like they had been pressed, but would still require extra force to properly actuate. Keys were extremely wobbly and overall it was just a very poor typing experience. Now for some nitpicks (this isn’t why I returned the product, the inability to type is the primary reason why I’m unhappy): - No cutout on the keyboard kind of makes it difficult to open. - While the color match was surprisingly close (pretty impressive for anodization) the surface finish is not even close to the iPad Pro. There is visible grains and overall a rougher feel to the Brydge aluminum compared to Apple’s very likely much more expensive processing. This isn’t really that big of a deal and honestly you can’t notice unless you really look for it. - Some keyboard shortcuts seemed to have trouble registering. Cmd-H being especially notable as this is a shortcut I’m very accustomed to using. It seems like you have to press it twice to register? This isn’t too bad though as there is a dedicated key on the keyboard that does the same thing. - Using the Siri key doesn’t default to taking in typed responses and instead requires the mic. I’m unsure if this is even possible to change so this is more a complaint about iOS rather than Brydge. - The rubbery plastic that holds your iPad in place is really exceptionally ugly. Very visible injection molding lines and a very odd cream semi transparent color on my Silver Brydge that really stood out when compared to the rest of the relatively good looking keyboard. - Latency was awful, this isn’t really a nitpick as it heavily impacts my reasoning for returning the keyboard. Any faster typists will very easily notice this and I promise it will drive you nuts.”

“I began to notice damage to my iPad display after 1-2 months of using the Brydge keyboard. It appeared as a line which I initially thought was just a smudge, but it refuses to come out. The damage to the iPad screen aligns perfectly with the raised edge (below the space bar) of the Brydge keyboard. I am very careful with my products, so the damage is not due to mishandling of the iPad. I ended up having to take the iPad to the Apple Store for a replacement. Definitely will not be using the Brydge keyboard with my replacement iPad or I might end up with another damaged product. Though the keyboard is convenient to use, I wouldn't take the risk of damaging the display of a $1000 iPad. I highly suggest that you think twice before purchasing this keyboard or you might end up with a glaring line running down your iPad display.”
