One note, there are special tabs on the sides specifically for removing the iPad from the case, no peeling required.
I would have never thought you have less than a few thousand followers. Great content!

Lol just saw your very first review. You beat me to the punch 😊
Excellent review. I got the Brydge Max+ 11.0 for the same reason (to have a “touch screen Mac”) and I love it, but what happens now that they’re out of business??

Just discovered this keyboard . Looks amazing almost perfect. But so sad that the business went bankrupt. I’m now in a hunt to find an alternative.

The business is back under the name Uinta. It’s the same people, headed by the former CFO. They have the rights to all the products and are rereleasing them and coming out with new products

Very interesting. I hope they find a way to make these work.
Just today I ordered the 11 Max+ for my iPad Air. Actually only paid $25 for it on eBay.
I have a aliexpress china magic keyboard and on that one the trackpad works flawlessly. So if the bridge has tracked lag its not because bt. I guess they just suck at making trackpads.
Is it compatible with Ipad Pro 12,9 6th generation?
Where does the Apple Pencil go? I have a Magic Keyboard and actually got a “case” that also allows the pins from device to meet up through the case. (Forget the name of it) And this case adapter also has a holder for the Pencil that allows it to charge, but keeps it secure. Cases should look good, function AND protect the device. Apple is only so-so on that side of things.
Yes
Now that you have had it a while are the hinges still ok? I am seeing a lot of reviews saying their hinges broke.

No issue yet with my model, but I can see how the hinges might get loose over time.
I just got this from Best Buy for 49.00
Hey AJ, any idea about why Brydge hasn’t been sending out orders or replying to customer emails for warranty claims? I tried every available way to contact them but failed.

I just checked their website, and it looks like everything's out of stock. Since they're usually fast at replying to support emails, I can't help but wonder if their business is in trouble. I replied to a previous support thread I have with them and will update if I hear back.
I Love the Brydge Max + iPad Keyboard but IM on my 3rd keyboard because of the hinges cracking and my 3rd keyboard the hinges are cracking, By The way Brydge is out of business now
I am a tap-to-click warrior. I only like clicks on mice. Though I will say, the trackpad on the Logitech Combo Touch is pretty good, it also uses the connection pad like Apple's keyboard. And it costs less. Never had a problem with it. Still have tap to click turned on. Also, before all these modern keyboard type cases for iPad, the ClamCase+ was absolute king! Unfortunately, they are no longer made. :
That touch screen macbook may be on its way only its not a macbook but a iPad....with the power of a macbook. Lol Word is that apple is making an M3 ipad pro ultra up to 16 inches. My guess is that this ipad ultra will undoubtedly have enough power to basically be a touchscreen macbook. Only issue is that macbooks can do things ipad cannot but there is a possibility that apple could open the flood gates and allow the ipad ultra to be pretty much apple's version of a Microsoft surface tablet pc.
Good content. But I suggest you do shorter videos and stick to the topic. You could have split this video to 4-5 differen topics.

Thanks for the tip! I just started regularly making videos this year, so I'm having fun experimenting with various lengths/formats. I noticed 20 minute+ videos tend to perform better on other channels, so I thought I'd give it a shot :)

All this over a keyboard. 🤔
