It's sturdy, it works well. I personally have never tried the Apple Magic keyboard, but I wish I had. I tried contacting support because of 2 dead keys, yes they do not work at all. How convenient... Apparently, they support email is not working as I got a kickback from the servers. I have it collecting dust. I am giving it a 4 star and not 3 because it's built well, it works well and it would have been a really good accessory if it did not break. Oh Well, actually 3 stars is better.

Excellent keyboard and cover. Much better typing experience than Apple Magic Keyboard and the function . keys are extremely useful. The big trade off is that the combined keyboard/iPad weight is very heavy, even heavier than a Macbook. For me it is worth it as I can use my all my work apps over wi-fi or cellular without having to log in via remote desktop, so it is a big productivity enhancer.

Great hold on the iPad. Performance as a keyboard is good – it really turns the iPad into what a MacBook should be. Seems well-built and rugged, though a little heavy. My review would have been 5 stars, but occasionally the keyboard can be a little slow to connect/reconnect. Wish it were just a physical connection, seems silly that it isn't, but since they aren't making these anymore no point in going on about it.

This is a very easy to use keyboard. It’s heavier than its Apple counterpart but it works very smooth. I have no lag between the touchpad and the cursor on the ipad screen. Quick response and the magnetic backing holds the ipad very well that i dont have to worry about it falling out.

Honestly i was a little worries about this keyboard. I saw maybe if anything 10-15 reviews to ensure it was a good fit for me. I was going to buy the apple magic keyboard. But $350 after spending $1,400 on the ipad pro seemed a bit excessive. Howecwe after buying a few other cheap options and returning them to amazon. I made my mind abd bought this keyboard and was jot dissapointed whatsoever. It is honestly worth the month even at its full price. I saw it was also on clearance which also helped me make a decision to purchase it for my ipad. It is what i use for school and work. It was between the ipad pro or a macbook air. But i still dont know if i made the right choice as it is still an ocersized ipad. But none the less. The puechase is done and am very happy.

The brydge keyboard is slick and makes your iPad Pro almost look like a MacBook. The internal battery can also be used to charge your iPad. If you don’t mind the extra weight, it’s a great choice. Oh plus the trackpad is huge and works great.

Awesome new design! Perfect compliment to my iPad Pro 12.9 in tablet. Great adjustable viewing angles. Huge ultra responsive trackpad. Wakes up almost instantly from sleep. Extremely sturdy and well made. Color matches my iPad perfectly and has a very premium feel, although it is quite heavy. Thankfully, you can detach the iPad quickly and easily since it’s connected magnetically now, as compared to the old hinge. Keyboard is lit and feels works well. Highly recommend to any iPad Pro user!

This is great and easy to use. Like it alot more then the Magic Keyboard apple offers. Has a bigger track pad and is a bit heavier which I personally like it also has the tool bar at the top above the keys which I like alot as well and the backlit keys make it so pretty at to use in dark settings. People were saying the back hinge wasn’t stable enough and snaps easy but I haven’t had that issue!

Very nice idea and it works well with one exception - some apps occasionally open in a “zoomed” state when using the track pad. This does not happen with the Apple Magic Keyboard. Otherwise, Quality and functionality seem good.

Very beautiful, elegant, yet practicalkeyboard for my IPad Pro (12.9 inch, 5th gen), that makes my IPad feel durable like a Panasonic Toughbook, or other high-end military grade laptop costing thousands of dollars. It is a metal construction case, so it does make the IPad Pro somewhat heavy to carry. But you know that your investment will stay protected.
The keys are supportive and easy to type with. The trackpad is huge and responsive, though I wish that the trackpad had touch sensitivity so that you didn’t have to press down too hard in order to “left-click”.
Since the Brydge keyboard is pretty new for me, I have not run into any issues with the battery life. It has been awesome so far. It is also a lighted keyboard, that has a lot of the functions of a Windows laptop (I do not own a MacBook). Like other IPad keyboards, it connects through Bluetooth.
In all, I truly recommend the Brydge keyboard if you have an IPad that you will predominantly be using as a laptop. IMO, it is a much better value than the keyboard that Apple makes and sells optionally. Yes, the Brydge also has Apple Pencil support.

Definitely a ‘head turner’ product, people trip when they see you swipe the screen on a MacBook! Top notch quality, been using everyday for over a year.. and I’m literally using it to type this review!

DO NOT BUY

I’ve only had mine for a few months and don’t use it often either when I do I take care of my things. To start the hinges crack, and it will no longer hold your iPad up. This isn’t just a one time problem either I started googling and found that almost all of them do this. Then on top of that I went to try to contact them to see if I could buy just the part needed to fix it and the company is no longer company. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Could not resist the price. Fits perfectly on my iPad Pro 12.9 6th Generation and the typing experience is fabulous, response and easy. Gave it 4 stars because it add a little weight to the tablet. But otherwise solidly build and converts your iad into a feel like a laptop experience.

I love the concept for the iPad, but the accessory is just too heavy and the feel of the product just feels like an un-finished product.
Any Brydge keyboard I have used, all feel the same to me. The product is just not fun to use. The product does make your iPad look like a MacBook, I even had people ask me while out and about if what I was using was in fact a “MacBook”.
I do love the size of the trackpad, but I do find that the trackpad on the Magic Keyboard and even on the Logitech touch cases to be more accurate than that on the Brydge. I however do use my smart mouse more than I do trackpads anyway.
Great product, just too heavy and not accurate enough of interface for me.

I really love this keyboard. I charge it once every third or fourth time I use it, but I have put probably 12 hours of use into it between charges and I've never *had* to charge it.
The keyboard feels good. I could believe it was an Apple product if I didn't know it was by Brydge. Touchpad is very good.
The whole thing feels solid, and the magnetic snaps work very well. Makes my iPad feel like a Macbook running iOS. I use it as a second screen with my PC laptop often, but also use it as a full workstation about half the time.
Definitely worth it.
