Brydge 12.9 MAX+ iPad Pro Keyboard Review

If you love the look of a MacBook and want to give your iPad more of a laptop feel while adding in a row of function keys and utilizing the BIGGEST multi-touch trackpad on the market, you've got to check out the Brydge 12.9 MAX+ keyboard case. In this video I compare it vs the Logitech Combo Touch and Apple's Magic Keyboard.

You dont skip a beat with the cool looking caps…especially the black one you had for the beats studio buds review it was 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

They need to make a case like this with the 360 rotating screen

[kalpanarajkumar]

I wish it was a smart connector keyboard like the Logitech

Really love your videos, Chris. You’ve influenced a lot of iPad, iPhone, and more, accessories purchases in my Apple Journey the last few years. Keep up the great content!

FINALLY a reviewer who commented on the use of non-brydge screen protectors. was looking for confirmation on this everywhere!

[drscience_xo]

This is the most asthetic looking keyboard 🖤

Another fine video review Chris. And yes the podcasts you do are great narratives of the in-between the videos as well as some editorial on some videos that you shoot in the same week as the podcast, more or less. Thanks again!

I bought this Brydge after my comment below. First irritation: the screen swings below the level of the bottom of the keyboard (see 2:00), so if using on your lap the sharp edge cut into your kneecaps. Second: my trackpad could not, under any circumstance, recognize a "zoom-in" gesture (it could zoom out); I could use the screen to do it. The third: after a few weeks it started making clicking noises when I opened it, then finally both hinges failed catastrophically (plastic). So, its in the trash now, expensive mistake.

Great review… I actually just finished up using the combo touch for the last week. I just didn’t care for it. Basically, you had to be on a flat surface or it was falling off the magnetic keyboard, etc. I’ve also had the magic keyboard from apple as well, it’s certainly better than the combo touch. I went ahead and purchased this, pretty please so far! Thanks for the great insights!

I have a Surface Pro and a Brydge for it. It's pretty great and I haven't looked at the included keyboard much since. The only downsides of that device are waking the keyboard up, and getting the Surface Pro out of it. Looks like Brydge has solved both of these problems with the 12.9 Max+ and I will be looking at one of these for my iPad Pro.

I wish they make one for the iPad Pro 11” ASAP.
EDITE: Brydge has debuted its latest keyboard, the Brydge 11 Max+

I just bought the new air max + they made for the iPad Air 4. Can’t wait to try it out

[charliebrown]

I love that they got rid of the clips, that’s the only thing that was stopping me from getting the older models. I already have a magic keyboard but still I wonder how much this weighs with the iPad in it.

[magrudergrinder]

I already have a Magic Keyboard for my 12.9 2018 Pro, but I want this one I have the first gen Brydge Pro keyboard (without trackpad) and I honestly hated the typing experience. The key throw was too long for the mush feeling. Have they improved the typing experience since then?

[TheMedlinman]

Thanks for sharing an Apple Music playlist. Ive been looking for something new to listen to and so far the list you shared is pretty good.

[committedthecore]

I get my silver Brydge keyboard next week. The magic keyboard is nice but the brydge looks premium!

[wenujaabeysiriwardana]

You make awesome videos chris, looking forward for your future videos..😘😁

I bought this one because it fitted better with my space grey then the magic keyboard. Here it was cheaper then the magic so thats also why. It really gived a laptop feel this keyboard.

[Toyeboy]

When you take it out of the keyboard case it stays connected though correct? Try to start using it as a tablet and it will still be thinking you’re using the external keyboard.

[NganNguyen-lmuk]

Great video. Keyboard has some shortcomings compared to Apple’s keyboard due to Bluetooth but I love that look since I’m typing on it all the time. I wish they make the 11inch version!
