Brydge Pro is a Contender for One of the Best Keyboards for the 2018 iPad Pro

May 21, 2019

External keyboards are handy to own if you have a tablet device like the iPad.  If you’re in the market for a good keyboard for your 2018 iPad Pro, you can choose from a number of sleek options from Zagg or Logitech. If you are a true-blue Apple fan, there’s always the Apple Smart keyboard. In today’s post, we take a look at the keyboard from Brydge, which has plenty of great features but stands out because it blurs the lines between the Mac and iPad. Here’s more on the Brydge Pro Keyboard for the 2018 iPad Pro.

The Brydge Pro sports a high-grade aluminum body. It is available in space gray and silver, perfectly matching with the color of the iPad Pro. A MacBook-style ledge at the front of the keyboard makes it easy to open it. Four rubber feet helps ensure that the iPad Pro doesn’t slip and slide when placed on the desk.

The keyboard also has a couple of rubber nubs below the arrow keys that protects the iPad screen from scratches when you close it. A cool addition is the magnetic snap-on leather cover that protects the back of the iPad from scratches and dents.

In all, the keyboard weighs in about 1.14 pounds which makes the iPad Pro heavier than most keyboard covers. So that’s something you should keep in mind when deciding on your purchase.

Keyboard Keys

The Brydge Pro keyboard offers 3 levels of backlit keys that allows you to adjust the brightness levels according to the lighting you need in your environment. The keys themselves are well spaced and feel natural to type.

One highly useful feature of the keyboard is the dedicated functional keys it offers. The iOS shortcuts section above the number keys lets you quickly lock your iPad, access the volume controls, media keys and Home button. A dedicated brightness button ensures that you don’t have to head to the iPad Control Center every time you want to adjust the iPad’s brightness.
