Greetings, Mashabl-ings. I come to you bearing good news: the future of wireless keyboard technology is here. In, er – under my hands. I spent an afternoon typing and testing the features of the Brydge 10.2 MAX+ Wireless Keyboard Case with Trackpad for iPad (7th and 8th generation). Here’s what stood out to me.

Are you tracking?

I have a secret. I stole a wireless mouse from the office when we started working from home. Another secret? I haven’t touched it in a year. Instead, I’ve become one with my trackpad. It keeps my hands closer to the keyboard, making it easier for my fast-moving fingers to tap hotkeys and quick-commands.

The Brydge 10.2 MAX+ makes this possible for my tablet now too, flaunting the largest Multi-Touch Trackpad for iPads on the market. The multitouch trackpad is smart, too, allowing me to swipe, scroll, click, drag, drop, and navigate.

Foolproof

I may have sticky fingers, but I’m still a klutz when it comes to handling my iPad. For me, the standout benefit of this keyboard/case combo is how rugged it is. The Magnetic SnapFit Clamps™ cling onto the standalone protective case for dear life, making it portable and versatile. If you do drop your beloved tablet, the standalone case, backed by OtterBox, will protect your device from falls up to 4 feet.

Tasty details

Who needs a brand new computer when you can turn your iPad into a laptop? There are so many tasty details in the Brydge 10.2 MAX+ that set it apart from other cases and keyboards, like a little seatbelt for your stylus, backlit keys for a late-night work (or play) sesh, and lightning fast Bluetooth® 5.0 connectivity.

Safety first

The active antimicrobial case inhibits the growth of microorganisms on the surface of the case, providing ongoing protection. For tablet users like me who leave their devices on New York City subway seats, musky bar tops, and sticky leather ride share seats, this feature offers valuable peace of mind.

Who knows when and where inspiration will strike!? With the Brydge 10.2 MAX+ I can be prepared, no matter what kind of corner I get myself into.
