Brydge Showcases New iPadOS 13.4 Trackpad Features in its New Pro+ Keyboard

Brydge has released a short YouTube video showcasing its Brydge Pro+ Keyboard with trackpad support. This comes just days after Apple announced its own Magic Keyboard with designated trackpad alongside both the new iPad Pro and new MacBook Air.


In the video, Brydge highlights some of the capabilities of its new Brydge Pro+ keyboard. The major new feature is full trackpad support in iPadOS 13.4. The trackpad can be used for precise text editing, bringing up the Dock from any app with a three-finger tap, opening App Exposé with a two-finger swipe, and more.

Preorders for the keyboard are available now. It is priced starting at $199.99 for the 11-inch iPad Pro and $229.99 for the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌. Preorders placed today are currently showing an estimated mid-April shipping date.

and just like that, what looked to be the most promising high end iPad keyboard is about to completely crash and burn because of the new Magic Keyboard. Pity.
Only somebody sitting in a giant chair in their home library while swirling a glass of wine in front of a fireplace would say this.

I ordered the Brydge Pro+ right after Apple announced trackpad support in iOS 13.4. I love my current Brydge Pro way more than the Smart Keyboard Folio. Only complaint is you either need to use Brydge’s less-appealing magnetic back cover with their logo facing the correct way, or deal
with a turned Apple logo without the cover.

Also, for what it’s worth, the pic in the article shows an older keyboard model on a regular iPad paired with the Brydge standalone trackpad. Yes, it’s ugly, but way more functional than what Apple Smart Keyboard for the iPad and iPad Air. Brydge on iPad Pro looks WAY better. I’ve gotten many “wait, that’s an iPad?! I thought it was a MacBook” type reactions from people.

I don’t get all the Brydge hate...

EDIT: Oh, and Apple’s $350 keyboard doesn’t have keys for brightness, media controls, locking, home screen, and volume? Nice! Love to see it!
