The biggest improvement is the multi-touch trackpad below the spacebar. The new Brydge 10.2 Max+ not only includes everything I loved about the original keyboard, but it adds several new features that make me love it even more. While I still can’t type quite as fast as I can on the behemoth Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (USB) on my desk, Brydge’s keyboards let me type faster than any other iPad keyboard I’ve tested. The best tactile response I’ve found on a compact keyboard so far, with longer key travel than most others and the perfect amount of “bounce” for me.Function keys for common iOS tasks such as volume up or down, play/pause, next and previous track, screen brightness, and more.Backlit keys with three levels of brightness.Infinitely-adjustable hinges let you view your iPad at almost any angle. A pair of super-functional hinges that provide close to 180° of range for your iPad screen, making it easy to choose a perfect viewing angle for any situation.Like my original Brydge keyboard, the new model’s features include: It’s called the Brydge 10.2 Max+ Wireless Keyboard Case ($129 at and it’s everything I loved about my first Brydge keyboard and more.
