Popular iPad accessory maker Brydge is out today with its latest iPad Pro accessory. The new Brydge 12.9 MAX + has an all-new design, exclusive to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This includes a new magnetic housing and a larger trackpad.
One of the most noticeable changes to this new Brydge 12.9 MAX + is how it mounts on the iPad. Other models of the Brydge keyboards have used a hinge system that, while functional, makes the iPad difficult to remove.
The new Brydge 12.9 MAX + features a “Magnetic SnapFit case” that attaches magnetically to the iPad Pro. This makes it considerably easier to get the iPad Pro in and out of the keyboard case.
The 12.9 MAX + has an all-in-one SnapFit sleeve that fits your iPad perfectly. Simply snap your iPad into the magnetic back to create the perfect productivity experience – whether you’re on the go, in the office or at home.
The new MAX + also includes what Brydge calls “the largest iPadOS-compatible multi-touch trackpad” ever. This, combined with Brydge’s recent announcement of multi-touch support, should make for an experience very similar to a MacBook.
Other features of the Brydge 12.9 MAX + will be familiar to those who have used previous versions of the accessory. It has a MacBook-style aluminum design with a black keyboard and backlight. There is also a USB-C port, but it is only for charging the 12.9 MAX +, not for connecting peripherals or charging the iPad itself.
