There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I researched for quite a while before deciding to purchase this keyboard and I think that time was well spent. Every keyboard I looked at has it's negatives, including the Brydge, but in taking my wants and needs into consideration I believed the Brydge would be the best fit for me, and that has proven to be true so far!
CONS
Let's get this out of the way. There are a few things that I wish were different, but they are not big enough complaints that I would take away from my rating. 1) As has been mentioned in other reviews, this keyboard is a little on the heavy side. Since I knew that from other reviews I choose not to lower my rating. It is simply a fact that anyone should know before purchasing. But also understand that the weight is perfect for being able to sit it in your lap and type without the iPad causing the keyboard to flip up. 2) Color match for my iPad is off. I reached out to the people at Brydge and asked about why it is not a good match (my iPad is gold, I ordered gold, but what I received is more of a rose gold). They explained that Apple frequently adjusts their colors from year to year and they try to match whatever is the most current. That makes sense to me and since my iPad is from a couple of years ago I can see where it might be hard to always get an exact match, so again, I choose not to lower my rating.
PROS
There are a lot of terrific things about this keyboard so I will try to name the most important for me. 1) Battery life of the keyboard is great! I have had it several weeks now and have yet to actually charge it, to me that is outstanding! 2) When typing there is virtually no lag time! I am not the fastest typist, but I am not terribly slow either, and it does a great job of keeping up. 3) The key stroke, or button press, or whatever you want to call it, feels good to me. Nice amount of travel. I saw some reviews that said they had a difficult time with sometimes needs to press harder on some keys, I have not had that issue. They have all been very consistent. 4) I love having a lighted keyboard! I don't use it a lot, but sometimes I am typing in low lit situations and being able to turn the back light on, having 3 different brightness settings, all add up to a great feature. And if I stop typing for very long, the back light automatically goes off, then when I start typing again it comes back on......outstanding! 5) Ease of pairing it with my iPad was great, I had no problems. I will say every now and then one of the shortcut buttons across the top will not work, and I simply turn the keyboard off then back on and it solves the problem. 6) While I have not really had it long enough to speak about long term durability, the keyboard appears to be made so well that I think with a little care on my part it should last a long time. 7) I love the way the clips work! I slide my iPad into the clips, center it and I'm good to go......then if I want to use just the iPad I simply slide it out of the clips. Love the simplicity of that! And the way the clips hinge is very ingenious! (for those wondering, when my iPad is attached and I close it...a) it automatically puts the iPad to sleep and wakes it up when I open it. b) the iPad screen is not touching the keys or any part of the case. There are little rubber bumpers on the case that contact the bezel of the iPad.)
I think that covers the main things, so to sum it all up......I highly recommend this keyboard! One thing to note, this keyboard will not act as a case for your tablet. It is not designed for that purpose so don't mistakenly think it fills that need. If you want a keyboard that acts as protection you really should look elsewhere. But if you want a keyboard that gives you a feel of a small laptop, has premium features, and is built to make a great typing experience this is the one for you!
1. It’s super lightweight. Most other keyboards I had in the past added noticable weight. This one is light as a feather yet super durable and well-made.
2. I love the prongs that hold it in place. They are unobtrusive and it makes carrying around my iPad as light as possible since there is only the added keboard and not an entire case that snaps onto the ipad itself. I had many like that in the past and thought I needed the extra protection of a case for when I drop my iPadd but I drop it all the time with this and it protects it just fine. I also found snap on cases to be damaging to the screen when popped on and off. With this, it’s just 2 rubber gripped prongs that hold the keyboard on and they work really, really well. People who complain about the prongs not holding the keyboard in place just simply haven’t tightened the prongs correctly before sliding the grips onto the iPad.
3. The battery life. This is just....WOW. I only have to charge this about every 5-6 months and I use it 3-5 hours DAILY!
4. Functionality. The backlit buttons on the keyboard are great and easily turn on at night or when it’s dark and “sleep” when not in use. Easy to turn off during the day. The keys are spaced well and even though I read reviews about issues with certain keys sticking.....I never had that issue with my last one and this one is working just as well. I love how easy it is to switch between an english and a spanish keboard. Honestly, I type A LOT for work and this keyboard keeps everything rolling, smooth, and simple for all my documents.
5. Positions. I like that I can hang this from an airline seat in front of me to watch a movie. I simple put a little blanket or napkin into the seat pouch and slide the keyboard down into the pouch, then tilt the iPad just a tad so that it hangs up and out of the puch and the weight of keboard holds it in place. I also like that at night when I want to read on the iPad, I just flatten the keboard level with the iPad and use the keyboard as a prop. Also works well as a “book cover” when you want to read and just tilt the whole thing and place the keyboard into “book” position as the front book cover flap....it sits in your lap this way perfectly also.
I’m so glad I just went ahead and got the same keyboard!

UPDATE: I’ve had this keyboard for more than a year now and have been very pleased. Battery life remains outstanding, with weeks and weeks of use before charging. It connects quickly and automatically every time I open it. It’s only now, after daily use, lots of travel, and what I would consider normal care (which means nothing other than not spilling anything on it), that I am replacing it. After all this time, the M key is starting not to activate without a bit more pressure so it’s time for a new one. I am optimistic my new one will last another year. Heck, it might outlast the battery on this aging iPad! Definitely recommend this product.
Top reviews from other countries
The Brydge 9.7 keys have a nice touch, and I prefer their smooth surface and soft clicks over the unusual texture of the Apple Smart Keyboard (which I could not balance on my lap for typing purposes). The real "ooh-ahh" feature of the Brydge is the backlit keys, which offer three levels of brightness. It's super for low light conditions (like when you want to type out a late night Amazon review from the comfort of your bed and not disturb the sleeping spouse next to you). It is too bad they go rid of the external speakers but all in all, this is a solid, high quality keyboard and case.... the size and fit are perfect for the 9.7 inch iPad.
I've read the backlight dramatically shortens the battery life to 6 hours, but that's not such a bad trade considering the comfort you get in return.
Other points: easy pairing; nice variety of function buttons; no issues with dropping the Bluetooth connection; no noticeable lag after keystrokes... Also, it is a highly reviewed keyboard, and is quite often chosen as the favourite amongst keyboards for the 9.7.
Cons: price; only compatible with one iPad case (which retails at $70). I've decided to use a sleeve instead.
Le chiavi sono molto simili alla tastiera del mio macbook pro.
