Brydge's MAX+ Keyboard for 11-Inch iPad Pro Now Available

Earlier this year, we took a look at Brydge's top-of-the-line MAX+ keyboard and trackpad combo (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/04/brydge-keyboard-hands-on/) for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/), a fairly close competitor to Apple's pricier Magic Keyboard.

A version of the MAX+ for the 11-inch iPad Pro (all generations) and fourth-generation iPad Air (https://www.pntra.com/t/TUJGRkhJR0JGS0lMSkxCRkpFRktK?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brydge.com%2Fproducts%2Fbrydge-max-plus-for-ipad-pro%3Fvariant%3D39674056966249) is now available, offering the same experience as its larger sibling but for Apple's smaller tablets. The 11-inch version of the MAX+ is priced at $199.99, which is $100 less than Apple's Magic Keyboard, and it comes in Space Gray, Silver, and White options.





The MAX+ snaps onto the magnetic back of the iPad Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-air/) or ‌iPad Pro‌, but connects over Bluetooth rather than through the Smart Connector (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/smart-connector/) used by Apple's Magic Keyboard. This also means the MAX+ can't draw power from the iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) and must be charged separately about every three months, according to Brydge.





Otherwise, you'll get a similar experience to the Magic Keyboard, with backlit keys that feel good under the fingers and a solid amount of travel, as well as a large multi-touch trackpad. The keyboard also includes a row of shortcut keys to give you quick access media controls, brightness, and more.





The Brydge MAX+ for the 11-inch iPad Pro and 10.9-inch iPad Air (https://www.pntra.com/t/TUJGRkhJR0JGS0lMSkxCRkpFRktK?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brydge.com%2Fproducts%2Fbrydge-max-plus-for-ipad-pro%3Fvariant%3D39674056966249) is available now for $199.99, while the larger version for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (https://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGRkhJR0JGS0lMSkxCRkpFRktK?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brydge.com%2Fproducts%2Fbrydge-max-plus-for-ipad-pro%3Fvariant%3D39379780075625) is priced at $249.99. Brydge is currently running a discount for past and present members of the military that offers 20% off with the promo code THANKYOU.
