The idea that the iPad is the only device that uses multimedia content is becoming obsolete. More and more people, those who cannot afford a traditional computer without affecting their work or needs, They prefer to use the iPad as the only app because it's easy to use, lightweight and portable.
Even though a virtual keyboard may be sufficient if we just type, if we usually edit with word programs such as Microsoft Word or Apple Pages we will know we need a real keyboard. And even though Apple offers Smart Keyboard Folio
While you can use any external keyboard via Bluetooth or connect one to a USB cable with a compatible adapter, there are manufacturers that offer keyboard solutions, such as Logitech and Slim Folio Pro. with the advent of iPadOS 13 and mouse support most of us crave one with a trackpad, like the Brydge Pro +.
All good (and bad) with the Brydge keyboard, now with the trackpad
At Applesfera we had the opportunity to review one of Brydge's iPad Pro keyboard, and even though it didn't have a button distribution in Spain (no trademark has it) the experience was satisfying. Now, the brand has announced Brydge Pro +, an update to its keyboard that includes the trackpad.
The trackpad has been upgraded to use most of the iPadOS touchable features. Multitouch, able to make a touch on its face. Buttons are still held back, nice details on how to write in low-light situations. Viewing angles of up to 180º, connected to the tablet via Bluetooth 4.1 and the battery lasts up to three months per charge.
At a cost of $ 199 for the 11 "and $ 229 for the 12.9" , the first 500 reserved units will start deployment by the end of February 2020. The latter is March 2020.
