Zagg Pro Keys with Trackpad for iPad 10.2" vs Brydge Pro+ Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9

These are not interchangeable: the Zagg Pro Keys fits the 10.2-inch iPad (7th, 8th and 9th gen), and the Brydge Pro+ fits the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd gen). Buy the one that matches your iPad. For the right tablet, the Zagg is the more complete package: a detachable protective case, an integrated stand and a trackpad, with a 4.2 rating from 468 owners who call it robust and a good replacement for a worn case. The Brydge is the heavier, more laptop-like option with an aluminum-style body and a larger trackpad, but it is a keyboard cover only, with no case protection.

  • Choose the Zagg Pro Keys if you own a 10.2-inch iPad (7th, 8th or 9th gen) and want one accessory that protects the tablet, props it up and adds a backlit keyboard with a trackpad.
  • Choose the Brydge Pro+ if you own a 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd gen) and want a rigid, laptop-style keyboard and trackpad rather than a case.

What reviewers say

Zagg Pro Keys with Trackpad for iPad 10.2"

  • 4.2 / 5468 ratings

Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 468 ratings. Owners generally like the backlit keyboard and detachable case, while some complain about unintuitive controls, a dim backlight and all-plastic construction.

What people mention
  • TrackpadMixedOwners like having a pointer on iPadOS but find the pad small for fine control.
  • BacklightMixedReviewers like the lit keys in dim rooms, but some say the backlight is not bright enough to pick out each key.
  • WeightCriticisedSome owners say the case makes the iPad noticeably heavier and thicker.
  • Detachable casePraisedBuyers like pulling the iPad out of the case for handheld use and say it protects the tablet.

Brydge Pro+ Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9

Owners generally like the laptop-style typing and the trackpad, which made the iPad more useful for work. Many complain about Bluetooth dropouts, the trackpad's small size and gestures, and the added weight.

What people mention
  • TrackpadMixedOwners like having a cursor but find the trackpad small and its gestures less smooth than a laptop's.
  • BluetoothCriticisedSeveral report the keyboard dropping its connection or needing to be re-paired.
  • Typing feelPraisedReviewers say the keys have good travel and are comfortable for long typing sessions.
  • WeightCriticisedThe metal body and hinge make the combined iPad setup noticeably heavy.

Questions and answers

Which is better for typing long documents?
The Brydge Pro+ has the stiffer, more laptop-like deck and a larger trackpad, so it suits long typing sessions. The Zagg is fine for notes and email but feels more plasticky.
Does the Zagg Pro Keys work with the iPad Pro 12.9?
No. It is cut for the 10.2-inch iPad 7th, 8th and 9th gen. The Brydge Pro+ is the one made for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3rd gen.
Which protects the iPad better?
The Zagg, because the keyboard doubles as a detachable case that covers the tablet. The Brydge is a keyboard cover and leaves the iPad exposed.
Which is easier to carry?
The Zagg at 16 oz is noticeably lighter than the Brydge at 24.3 oz, though the Zagg is thicker when closed.
Is the Brydge worth stepping up to?
Only if you own the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and want a rigid keyboard with a bigger trackpad. If you need protection and a stand, the Zagg covers more.
Do both have backlit keys?
Yes, both are single-color backlit. Zagg owners complain the light is dim, so neither is great in full darkness.
