User reviews

Great Keyboard - Terrible App

The keyboard is absolutely great! It feels nice, great quality and is overall a high quality keyboard.

The App on the other hand, is absolute garbage. I am currently typing this on the keyboard on my iPad, yet the App is unable to recognize the keyboard exists. Ive installed 3-4 times, power cycled and re connected multiple times, but the App is still dead weight.

needs ios16 update - shift key doesnt work

for whatever reeason the shift key doesnt work

Very disappointed

It worked very well at first now i am having problems with the trackpad and my power Bluetooth and cap lock keys lighting up my trackpad doesn’t work even after trouble shooting and also updating through the app

Great App and Hardware Experience!

Not gonna lie… I was prepared to be underwhelmed by this after reading a few of the older reviews. But since purchasing the Brydge Max+ for my 11” 2018 iPad Pro in August 2022, I’m happy to report that both the keyboard and the app have knocked my socks off!

The app is as no frills as they come, but the update process was straightforward and uncomplicated – worked like a charm, and I was using my new keyboard within minutes of unpacking it from the box.

There were a couple of things to fine tune, at first, but I haven’t experienced any major glitches which is a testament to the developers’ ongoing work, here. The keyboard and trackpad themselves are rock solid, and I’m really looking forward to putting them through their paces with iPadOS 16 this Fall.

If you’re reading this, and you’re on the fence about whether to buy this vs the Magic Keyboard (or any of the MANY other keyboard solutions for the iPad Pro/Air), my sincere advice is to give it a shot. I’ve found the user experience to be far superior to Apple’s own hardware, and it’s more completely transformed the iPad into a true productivity workhorse.

Great keyboard - substandard software.

I have had several keyboards and went away from the trackpad version because of battery life.
I have the newest Max+ and love the additional iPad protection now.
The Brydge software updater is really unreliable and causes way more frustration than usefulness. Love the keyboard - get better software.
