ESRiPad 11th(A16, 2025)/10th Gen Case with Keyboard, Magic Keyboard for iPad 10.9", Case with Floating Cantilever Stand, Springy Backlit Keys, Multi-Touch Trackpad, Rebound Series, Black

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.

I have been using the ESR iPad 13 keyboard for over a month now. I was looking for an alternative to the very expensive apple keyboard. I have previously used the apple keyboard for a smaller iPad, and was very impressed with it. So I questioned how well would this product compare.I am GREATLY impressed. The magnet holds very well for this 13 inch iPad. The keyboard is well light, with an option to make it brighter or darker. The battery life is great. I was charging in once a week but lately it’s been 2+ weeks before I charge. I use it often, so the battery life is impressive. The keys are quiet and work very smoothly.The iPad and keyboard combine initially felt heavy together, but neither of them alone feel that heavy. But this has not been an issue of concern for me.I am highly impressed with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality keyboard case and interested in saving a couple hundred dollars!

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.

So far so good I have no complaints about this product. I fully charged it when I first received it & haven’t needed to charge it yet, it’s been 4 days. The brightness of the keys are pretty bright to me. I seen other reviews about it not being bright but to me it’s fine. The bluetooth connectivity is easy and it connects immediately when you’re to use the key board. I did notice small things but it’s still no issue for me. 1). It is a finger print magnet, but easy clean offAnd2). if you have a 12.9” iPad like myself it is heavy so the case will lean backwards if it’s not on a flat hard surface. Overall it’s a sturdy well built case
