Brydge Air MAX+ Wireless Keyboard Case with Multi-Touch Trackpad for iPad Air 11" & iPad Pro 11", Detachable Magnetic SnapFit Case, Black

UPDATE: The keyboard stopped working about 10 months after purchase. The customer service wasn't bad, I had to provide my order details and a video of how it fails to power on. I realize it's only 30 day warranty but less than a year in, they told me they found liquid damage and debris. I've never gotten liquid anywhere near this device. And debris? I saw the photos they provided. Yes, it's possible I got some crumbs in the keyboard while eating. You're telling me the product can't handle that kind of usage? You don't get crumbs in a computer keyboard without it failing to function? So I am quite dissatisfied with not standing behind the product although I realize again it's only a 30 day warranty, because for the life of me I can't understand the liquid damage part, and can't accept that you can't get a few crumbs in there without it dying. And at this price. If it were a $35 keyboard case, I could probably deal with it. But not this way. Not doing business with this company anymore.It’s not as if I’m careless with my iPad but it takes a few bumps sometimes. Before I bought this keyboard/case, I had the aluminum version of the Brydge keyboard/case and it was great, lightweight, illuminated, all that, but if you actually DROP the iPad, you’re asking for trouble. Especially on tile or hardwood. In my case, I cracked the screen, got a new iPad and realized I needed something sturdier that has the same features. I wanted to remain loyal to Brydge and I did and I was very happy I did. It's really heavy anyway.________________________________________________________________________________________-This is an AWESOME case/keyboard. The keyboard touch is perfect. It has a backlit keyboard. Battery life is great (I use it ALL day and do a lot of work on the iPad and I don’t even remember the last time I charged the keyboard). The port to charge the keyboard is convenient, too. That’s not the case with all cases.Yes, it is definitely going to add some weight. I don’t have a problem with that at ALL. I want to know I’ve got protection and I do, I feel comfortable that SHOULD I accidentally drop it, I have a much better chance of survival than with just about any other case I’ve ever had.It’s easy to insert and remove the iPad, it fits snugly, there’s really nothing I don’t like about this product. The only thing that’s even remotely inconvenient is when you open it up at more than 90 degrees and put t on your lap, it may fall backwards a little, the weight tends to want it to lean or topple. But that’s not the end of the world, it’s completely visible right at 90 degrees and believe me, I’m picky, I’d make an issue out of it if it really were a legitimate ongoing inconvenience.This product turns your iPad into a laptop for all intents and purposes. It’s great.

Shipping and Packaging:The product arrived well-packaged, securely enclosed in a sturdy box. Inside, the keyboard case was protected by a soft, padded material to prevent scratches during transit. The packaging was minimalistic but effective, aligning with the premium feel of the product.Assembly/Installation:Setting up the Brydge Air MAX+ was straightforward. The magnetic SnapFit case easily attaches to the iPad, and pairing the keyboard via Bluetooth was quick and seamless. The detachable magnetic design makes it convenient to switch between tablet and laptop modes. No technical skills are required, making the installation beginner-friendly.Product Quality and Features:The build quality of the Brydge Air MAX+ is impressive, with a durable, well-finished black casing. The keyboard keys have a satisfying tactile response, and the backlit feature is perfect for low-light environments. The multi-touch trackpad works smoothly, offering precise control and multi-gesture support, similar to a laptop experience.One of the standout features is the detachable magnetic SnapFit case, allowing flexibility in how you use your iPad. The keyboard itself is robust and feels premium, although it adds a bit of weight to the device. The wireless connectivity remains stable during extended use, and the battery life is commendable, lasting several weeks on a single charge.The design is sleek and professional, suitable for both work and casual use. However, the trackpad might feel a bit small for users accustomed to larger laptop touchpads.Overall Impression:The Brydge Air MAX+ is an excellent choice for iPad users looking for a versatile and high-quality keyboard case. Its detachable design, reliable wireless connection, and premium feel make it worth the investment. The only downside is the slight bulk it adds, but considering the added functionality, it’s a fair trade-off

I was skeptical to buy this keyboard at first because there were some not so great reviews. Lots of people said it was too heavy and hard to get it to stand on its own. I have the iPad Air and have no trouble with it at all, it balances fine and even works well on my lap, not just my desk. Another thing I was worried about was the fact that it was Bluetooth instead of using the Smart Connector on the back of the iPad like the Magic Keyboard uses. However, I have had no problems with it. The keys are responsive with no lag. The touchpad works great, responsive as well, the only thing I don’t like is that you have to click it, you can’t just tap, but once I got used to it, it’s no problem. Another small thing is the keyboard size. I have the iPad Air so the keyboard may be bigger for other iPads, but it’s just a little small, nothing I wasn’t expecting and it’s still comfortable to type on. The keyboard does add some weight to the iPad. Again, I have the iPad Air so it is already lighter than the average iPad so the added keyboard weight was nothing much, but for another iPad it may become a little hefty. Other than those points, the keyboard works great and I love it! A great option if you don’t want to pay the money for the Apple Magic Keyboard, works great in my opinion!
