If you have an iPad Air or iPad Air 2 and are looking for a keyboard I suggest that you give the Brydge keyboard a look especially as Brydge has a nice discount, $129.00 vs. the $160.00 I paid earlier, and the offer is good from now until the end of November.

I have been using the Brydge keyboard with my iPad Air 2 since last December and below is a review I posted about the product last January. In the interim, my assessment of the Brydge Keyboard has not changed; love it and use it most days. I might add that the company has great customer service. There are two little “bumpers” in the lower left and right corners to keep the display for touching the wrist rest. One of these popped out and did not want to stay when replaced. I sent an email to the company and in a few days, considering they were coming from Singapore, a few replacements arrived. So, not only could I replace the recalcitrant one but I have a few in case it happens again. By the way, I have no financial or other interest in the company.

Here is the earlier review.
Well lighter and thinner is great but that meant that my keyboard case for the iPad 3 was not going to work. I first ordered a Belkin Keyboard Case for the iPad Air 2 similar to the one I had for the iPad 3 but returned it because the keyboard backlighting did not work. In the interim I saw a glowing review from Joanna Stern of the Wall Street Journal on the Brydge keyboard for the iPad Air. (They have models for most of the iPad models.) While it is a little pricer – $160.00 vs. $149.00 for the Beklin – I ordered one. The current model is for the first iPad Air which is a little thicker than the iPad Air 2 but Brydge supplies replacements for the shims that hold the iPad Air 2 securely. Bear in mind, the Brydge is not a keyboard case it is a keyboard that has two extended hinges that hold the iPad (see the image above) so the back of the iPad is not covered. That, and probably the price, are the only issues with the product. The keyboard itself is without a doubt the best one for an iPad I have seen. It is not quite as large as the keyboard on my MacBook Air but touch typing is a breeze. Key spacing is good and the feel is that of a real keyboard. Couple that with three levels of keyboard backlighting and a range of 135 degrees in display placement plus no issues with the iPad slipping or flopping around when typing on your lap and this is a winner.
