The ESR Ascend keyboard for iPad Pro m4 2024 is simply brilliant! It is far more versatile than the exorbitantly priced Apple product. Unlike the Apple keyboard the iPad Pro actually slots into a protective sleeve that contains the magnets that will attach the sleeve to the keyboard folio part. I you want to draw or paint on your iPad (who doesn’t?) this is extremely uncomfortable with the iPad mounted to the Apple product with its limited angles from 90 degrees vertical to around 75 degrees. A pain in the wrist develops in minutes. Of course you can take the iPad out of the Apple Magic Keyboard but the you loose the keyboard function and the ability to use keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop or Painter – not a good design Apple – particularly when it’s $20 shy of $600. In Australia in the past we had bushrangers (outlaws for Americans) once who robbed people of their money – now we have Apple!! the ESR keyboard by contrast is BLUETOOTH – I wonder whether Apple know about Bluetooth? So you can either leave the iPad in the ESR folio and adjust the iPad to around 15 degrees from the horizontal where it’s comfortable to draw on the screen, OR take the iPad plus sleeve OUT of the folio and lay it flat while KEEPING the keyboard functional with access to shortcuts because it remains connected by Bluetooth. For a company that prides itself on good design sold at a PREMIUM, the Apple Magic Keyboard gets a big F minus while the ESR Ascend gets an A+.

Great quality, sturdy, durable. So much more substantial than the Apple version I had at a fraction of the cost!

Parfait mon pour IPAD

Initially I was not happy to add so much weight to my super think iPad Pro. The bluetooth keyboard paired quickly with the iPad. You do need to press Function + B to start the pairing process. The non-keyboard side bends backward and functions as part of the stand supporting the iPad. The whole keyboard + cover is undeniably heavy but the benefit is once you set the keyboard+cover on your lap or table, the iPad wont’ tilt over. For the price of under $80, it is a great value for a cover and keyboard. Just be forewarn that you will develop some muscle carrying this and the iPad around.

The item is way heavier than iPad Pro itself so buyer be aware on weight issues.

This is such a wonderful product! Reasonable price with durable and quality materials. Perfect for my iPad Pro 13 Inch. This was my best decision than buying the other one

I didn’t want to pay an outrageous price for what I wanted but settled for this. I give it 5 stars for what I paid and how well it works but I personally give it three stars compared to what I really wanted.I have the M4 model and it fits perfectly. Links right up once you charge it up and cut your Bluetooth on. I have a generic pen that works great with this iPad and my 9th generation iPad and it holds on to the top the same as the Apple Pencil.

Case is heavy, like heavy heavy but I like it, means I won’t forget it’s in my bag hahaha. But other than that, love that I vane take it off the thing easily, a bit fidgety with the magnets to sit in place when keyboard is folded under for videos but I got it like 5 minutes ago and already love it. Can take iPad off for normal use, keyboard connects really quick, a bit laggy but still inputs in correct order. Overall, good case, worth the $, bit heavy. If that’s not a problem, buy it now.
