Testing Brydge's New Pro+ Keyboard With Trackpad for iPad Pro

Collected
Well before Apple introduced trackpad support in iOS 13.4, Brydge announced an iPad Pro keyboard with a built-in multi-touch trackpad. We've among Brydge's new Pro+ keyboards readily available, and thought we'd take a look to observe how it works together with Apple's new 2020 ‌iPad Pro‌ models.

The Brydge Pro+ keyboard is similar in design to past Brydge keyboards, attaching to the ‌iPad Pro‌ by using a group of hinges that allow the ‌iPad Pro‌'s angle to be adjusted to best suit each person's needs. It's made totally from aluminum and matches the ‌iPad Pro‌ well, and at the bottom, there's a fresh trackpad.
Brydge keyboards always give you a great typing experience, which year's Pro+ is no exception. In fact, we thought it had been better still than last year's version because there is no have to press as hard for a key to register.

There are dedicated iPad controls on the keyboard, including a Siri button and options for accessing the house screen, locking the ‌iPad‌, adjusting brightness, controlling media playback, and more. Much like other Brydge keyboards, that one connects via Bluetooth and lasts for quite awhile before having to be recharged.

With regards to the trackpad, it's clear that it was designed prior to the release of iOS 13.4 because compared to official trackpad support with the Magic Trackpad 2, it's a lttle bit lacking. Scrolling is smooth and is effective through a typical two finger gesture, but we did come across a bug with continuous scrolling at the top or bottom of a full page.

While you can use any two finger gesture with the trackpad on the Brydge Pro+, it doesn't actually work with three finger gestures. You can add some three finger button presses with Accessibility functionality, but it's not as convenient as the three finger gesture support on the Magic Trackpad 2.
