Brydge Takes On Apple
New $159 keyboards match iPad's 4 colors, undercutting Apple's $249 Magic Keyboard Folio
Brydge has announced a new set of color-matched keyboards for the entry-level iPad, offering a premium aluminium keyboard to match each of the four colors available for the 11-inch base model iPad.
The 11-inch base model iPad is available in a choice of four colors: silver, blue, pink, and yellow. The Brydge 11.0 keyboard features a solid aluminium construction, a full-size backlit keyboard with 1.3mm of travel, and an all-glass multi-touch trackpad.
The Brydge 11.0 keyboard has a battery life of up to three months without the backlight and 40 hours with the backlight on. It is compatible with the iPad (10th generation) and iPad (A16).
The Brydge 11.0 keyboard costs $159, significantly cheaper than Apple's Magic Keyboard Folio which costs $249. The new keyboards will be available for sale on the company's website and official Amazon store around the middle of the month.
## Why it matters The launch of the Brydge 11.0 keyboards provides consumers with a more affordable and color-coordinated alternative to Apple's Magic Keyboard Folio. With its premium aluminium design and features such as a backlit keyboard and multi-touch trackpad, the Brydge 11.0 keyboard is a viable option for those looking for a high-quality keyboard to match their entry-level iPad.
The color-matched design of the Brydge 11.0 keyboards is a key differentiator, allowing users to choose a keyboard that matches their iPad's color. This attention to detail and focus on aesthetics may appeal to consumers who value a cohesive look and feel for their devices.
