Q: Can I get the keyboard with other languages like Arabic and English both on the same keyboard?

A: Unknown, but avoid this keyboard at all costs. It’s buggy with laggy Bluetooth, if you can get it to connect at all. Try a ZAGG if you do not want an OEM Apple.

A: Yeah it does

Q: Will this work on the 2nd generation iPad Pro 12.9"?

A: undefined

Q: does this work with the newest 10th gen?

A: Works great takes a lil getting use too but after that awesome product

Q: Is the top & bottom metal? Kinda like a laptop?

A: Yes.

Q: Will the Apple gen 2 pencil still be able to charge?

A: undefined

Q: will a wired mouse work if you connect it to this keyboard?

A: This is just the keyboard. Memory will be dependent on the iPad.

Broke within a year
For the price, it definitely should not break within a year of me getting it. Not only is it extremely heavy, but the weight distribution is just uneven. It seems that it couldn’t support the weight of an iPad like it was supposed to and the hinges broke. Now the screen will flop around since it is not secure. Will be moving to a Logitech keyboard soon. It has much better reviews.

Nice look and feel of aluminium based Keyboard
Review of Bridge 12.9 Max + The keyboard case with trackpad out of box its look and feel does impress. Made of Aluminium for keyboard, and plastic for the case, It is solid and well crafted at appearance to match to the level of iPad Pro 12.9 with M1 (5th generation). All together give feeling of a MacBook a alike experience just holding it, To start using it, first would recommend following its short guide to pair first with the iPad via bluetooth. Once it is paired, need to downloads Brydge application to update the firmware, In between need to plug/unplug charger for the keyboard. Once this is done, then it is ready to start using it. Placing the iPad on the case is simple, doesn’t take major effort like having to find the right fitting mode and how to squeeze in the corner. It is opened cover that get attached via magnet snap fit directly. The Keyboard: as I type, it feels smooth as press each key, it bounce a bit but not the way of feeling the bottom underneath of the key that touch the mechanical part. It has dedicated keys for bluetooth, on/off of keyboard, screen bright decrease/increase, keyboard backlight control, lock, application exit or rotation key, volume control, multimedia play/pause among other dedicated keys by default by Apple. The track pad, is wide enough that provide space for gesture movements which works nicely. Its battery, as per its specification last up to 3 months at 2 hours use per day with now backlight use. Up to 40 hours per charge with backlight enabled. In the actual use test, with full charge, using for three days with backlight, its battery usage shows one third of usage. The downside: 1. It need to be charged, It’s dependency of charging add one more thing to take care or add to all the rest of devices. It use usb-c to charge. But doesn’t include the cable nor the charger. 2. The track pad as being used to click a url link, or edit a field to select and enter data feels to missing precision as have to tap multiple time and sometime doing directly on the screen with finger. 3. As holding on hand, it is quite heavy. The keyboard alone weight 2.1lb (970 g) + iPad Pro (2021) 1.5 lb (682g) that makes total of 3.6lb , heavier than MacBook Pro 13 M1 8GB 256GB has weight of 3.0 LB. On paper writing its weight feels nothing, but if it is placed in a bag and for traveling or commuting, the weight is not that great with all the other items in the bag. 4. Setting up in the very beginning, require bluetooth connection to install firmware update, then forget the connection then connect again after update while need to plug and plug subsequentely. Although it might be one time situation for firmware update and minor detail, does detriment the initial experience. 5. The USB-C port to charge the keyboard only charge the keyboard, doesn’t charge the iPad as well resulting having to have to chargers and its cables if both need to be charged. It is very personal preference the usage and use cases for which one could like it or not. For my preference, although I liked the hardware look and fell, putting all together desired above, the Brydge Keyboard for iPad Pro wouldn’t be on the first choice considering the price range and its experience.
