ESR iPad Air 13 Inch Case Keyboard (M3/M2, 2025/2024) & iPad Pro 12.9 inch (3/4/5/6th Gen) Magic Keyboard, Easy-Set Floating Cantilever Stand, Precision Multi-Touch Trackpad, Rebound Series, Black

Exceeded My Expectations
I am currently using this exact keyboard to type out this review. To keep it brief and to the point, I’ll elaborate on the title of this review a bit: This sub-$100 keyboard case far exceeded my expectations. It amazes me how far we’ve come in terms of affordable keyboard cases for tablets, considering my history with some very questionable ones dating back to the Google Nexus 7 (I’m getting up there, I know).I have this paired with my iPad Air M3 and it almost feels like a first-party companion. The iPad attaches to the keyboard case magnetically. The magnets are strong and hold the iPad in place firm enough to keep it from moving, but not so firm that you can’t remove the tablet with one hand. This is perfect for whenever I’m done using the keyboard and want to take the iPad to bed (for which I have the ESR folio case and it’s also fantastic).The keyboard and trackpad connect via Bluetooth, which had me a bit skeptical at first since I feared there would be some sort of delay. Thankfully that doesn’t seem to be the case. There is a small amount of delay with the trackpad, but I believe that’s mostly due to the pointer on the iPad itself and not so much the trackpad on this case. I had to fiddle with the trackpad settings to get it to where it’s comfortable and easy to use (TURN OFF INERTIA, TRUST ME). All of the shortcuts that would work with Apple’s (incredibly overpriced) Magic Keyboard will work with this one as well. I’ve been using Logic Pro for iPad and this keyboard has saved me tons of headaches allowing me to use shortcuts to move around the timeline, play/pause, record, etc. The backlighting is also a GREAT touch, considering the Magic Keyboard for the newer iPad Air doesn’t even have backlit keys..Okay, maybe not so brief. TLDR; it does everything you need it to for a fraction of what Tim is asking for. Also, REALLY good battery life, and the keyboard goes into a sleep mode if not in use which is always nice.

Good but too early to tell
lighted keyboardReceived quickly today for iPad Air M3 (13). Was using an Apple Magic Keyboard for m1 iPad Pro that is 5 years old. Reason for purchase was to have the function keys, lighted keyboard, and a black cover that the new Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Air does not have (Only in white with Apple)First impressions.1. Keyboard keys feel good.2. Nice to have a lighted keyboard3. Battery status shows up in iPadOS Battery widget4. Have seen complaints about weight. To me the weight is very similar to my m1magic keyboard I was using, did not do an official weight, but did not notice a major difference.5. Also saw comments that note the magnets are weak, I did not see see this on the unit I received6. Cost -at 1/3 the price of Apple’s unit I get al the features I was looking for, lighted keyboard, black color7. Using Bluetooth for the connection vs, the 3 dots that apple uses, I have not noticed any lag in typing or moving the pointer8. Love the Apple Pencil holder for when it is not chargingCons:1. Lack of documentation: The QR code in the box went to a dead page on their site-Shame2. If you dig around their site you find a page by process of elimination that is the product but no videos (Says videos are coming) or just very general FAQ, not specific to the product3. Would like to be able to purchase a keyboard membrane to keep dirt out of the innards but have no clue what make to use.4. When you close the keyboard the keyboard lights look like they remained on, so I ended up powering down the keyboard. Using the power button. Would like to know if it sleep eventually when the keyboard is closed or not.Unknowns:1. Durability- have seen some reviews where they note the keys have fallen off after a year. I have no clue, but my Apple Keyboard from the M1 Pro is 5 years old with ) issues.2. Battery Life. With the keyboard not pulling power from the iPad as the Magic Keyboard does, I am hoping I get a little more time out of the iPad. I also do not know how long the charge will hold on the keyboardOnce again the price point is why I took a gamble on this. Out of the box it feels good and performs well. Lack of documentation on their website is a problem for a company like ESR which is being advertised so heavily on YouTube with tech people.

Purchased this keyboard for my M1 IPad Pro 12.9 Inch and must say that it’s absolutely perfect in terms of usage, value for money, functionality.It’s very simple and easy to use, keyboard travel and clicking feels very good. It’s a joy to type on.It does make the iPad slightly chunky and heavy, but that’s what you get when you want to add a keyboard to the device. The device is totally transformed with this cover.Also love that it has a flap to protect the Apple Pencil, this was a major boost!Great one ESR! keep it Up!

Klawiatura kompatybilna z IPad Air M2. Świetnie działa, jedyny minus to brak wskaźnika poziomu baterii.
