Brydge Pro+ Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9 vs iClever BK08 Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard

The Brydge Pro+ is the better pick if you own an iPad Pro 12.9 and want a laptop-like typing setup: a rigid aluminum body, a real hinge that holds the tablet, backlit keys and a trackpad built for iPadOS. The iClever BK08 is a pocket-size folding keyboard that works with almost any Bluetooth device, including phones and the Steam Deck, but its tiny keys and cramped touchpad suit occasional typing, not all-day work. Owners of the Brydge praise the solid build and laptop feel; owners of the iClever praise portability and easy pairing but complain the keys are very small.

• Choose the Brydge Pro+ if you have an iPad Pro 12.9 and want a sturdy, backlit keyboard case with a trackpad that turns it into a laptop.
• Choose the iClever BK08 if you need one small folding keyboard that pairs with three devices across Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Chrome OS.
