My initial impressions are very good with this. I had previously bought a very similar style of keyboard case for the ipad pro on Amazon, but over the course of 2 weeks the space bar went from occasionally missing, to double spacing, to just flat out not working all together. So I returned that and got this. This one is immediately better due to the keyboard layout. Important buttons are larger, theres an actual delete key (along with back space, major thumbs up), the shift key is much larger, and it has a track pad for the same price as the other one was without. The track pad was not a necessity to me, its just an added bonus. With the 11” Ipad pro, the keys are comfortable in size even for my larger hands. The track pad is good, responsive but slightly jumpy, and there is no click built in, which is to be expected but still.
Some of the drawbacks I’ve seen so far is it’s a little more flimsy than the other one I tried. The swivel hinge is really great, such an awesome feature, but when i’m typing in a hurry, the ipad actually shutters a little bit. The keyboard is also a little light, so you can’t have it at too extreme an angle or it will topple, and it makes it a little more difficult to open up the case to use. The top corners of the case are also not very secured on the ipad. A few times now i’ve opened the case up only to lift the corner of the case off the ipad itself. Ill have to just try to train myself to open from the middle. The one really frustrating thing though is that the power button is terrible. I pretty much have to use my finger nails to press it. I’ll be 3D printing a little tab to glue to it to raise it up. Seller, if you’re reading this, please raise up the power button.
All that said, it’s a great keyboard case for the money and i’m happy with it so far. I will update this with any new findings.

Definitely worth $80. Would buy again!
This exceeds my expectations!I currently have a custom desktop, a Surface Book, and a Surface Pro 4. Since I’m spending more time home due to COVID-19, I use FaceTime more so I wanted an iPad for FaceTime only as you can’t do that on a desktop PC. With that said, I got a 2020 iPad Pro 11 expecting not to use it for much else besides FaceTime.At first I was using the iPad with a simple trifold cover. Since I am spoiled by my Surface Products, I immediately realized that I needed a keyboard and opted for one with a touchpad.This keyboard exceeds my expectations as its only $80 versus the $300 Smart Keyboard from Apple. IMHO, this keyboard works great and holds a charge for a while (I have been using the keyboard for almost a week and haven’t had to charge it yet.) This keyboard has a USB-C port so you are able to it using the same cord that charges the iPad which is a major plus compared to many other keyboards.In regards to the touchpad, I am unsure of all of the gestures that the Apple keyboard has, but this keyboard scrolls easily with 2 fingers and can show app-switcher or home screen easily with 3 finger operation. With that said, I did need to increase the trackpad scrolling speed a little. One thing that I noticed is that the touchpad tries to imitate your finger, so it only scrolls while you are moving your fingers on it and because the touchpad is kind of small, increase the trackpad speed allows me to scroll easily. However, since I am super used to touchscreen devices, I usually do most scrolling using the screen, but its good to have the option of the touchpad when scrolling through certain things. Some apps, seem to not work well with touchpad scrolling, but I feel that is due to how the app is written versus others. For example, scrolling in up in Chrome is a little weird (down works perfect, but Netflix and Amazon work well.Also, even though the pencil is magnetic, I like the holder on the side which secures it a bit better.Lastly, I didn’t think I would like the hard shell increasing the size of the iPad, especially because it fits the iPad like a glove which makes it difficult to remove frequently, but I actually really like it. Although it noticeably increases the weight of the iPad, its still comfortable to use as a tablet with one hand while standing and/ or walking around my office. Overall, I still don’t think the iPad Pro with a Keyboard and Pen is better than any of the Surface Products, because ultimately, I feel that iOS is the major bottleneck (its very limiting). If Apple allowed users to install MacOS on the iPad Pro, I easily feel like this device could give my Surface Products a run for their money.In the end, I suggest this iPad Pro 11 Companion if you do a bit of typing (iMessage, Word, Browsing web, etc.)P.S.-I’ve only been using the iPad for almost a month and the keyboard for the one week. I’ll only update this post if I have an issue with it in the future, so if there are no updates, then that means I’m still enjoying it.
