If you’re looking for a Bluetooth version of the apple Magic Keyboard you’re not going to get any closer than this ESR keyboard case setup plus it comes with an actual protective case.
Here is my experience with the original 2018 iPad Pro.
Starting off with the CONS (mostly when being compared to the apple MKB)
- This is not specific to this keyboard but every non apple Bluetooth keyboard I’ve tried with this iPad is every now and then the keyboard will disconnect. It is rare but it happens.
- The trackpad isn’t as responsive as the apple MKB that is hard wired
- Doesn’t charge the iPad like the MKB
- Heavier than the MKB
- Needs to be charged
- It could be because of the included case but this setup is a little top heavy and can fall back if tapped forward. May need to press down on the keyboard while typing to prevent it from falling back if leaning all the way back.
- Backlit keys need to be manually activated
- No media keys. Missed opportunity
Now on to the pros
- PRICE. Even without the 20% discount, this setup is a lot less considering all of the features and the total package you’re getting.
- Comes with a protective case. Usually have to pay an extra $30-$60 for a 3rd party case that is compatible with the Apple MKB
- The build quality isn’t as solid as the Apple MKB but it’s the best out of all I’ve tried. There’s some flex in the keyboard but still feels like quality
- Keyboard is pleasant to type on
- Connects to iPad fast, there’s even an animation when connecting
- Looks pretty close to the actual Apple MKB including having the used charging port on the hinge.
- The trackpad is the most responsive of the other brands I’ve tried. It’s pretty good.
- Able to raise the iPad position if needed. Makes a bigger difference for people with neck problems from looking down for so long. Not a huge difference but helps and this is the only setup like this I’ve seen. Not even the Apple MKB can do this.
- Can place iPad in portrait mode
- Has a flap to prevent the Apple Pencil from getting loose. This is a major pro over the Apple MKB if you use an Apple Pencil.
My wish list:
- Media keys. What a big miss
- An additional port on the other side to connect a USB C cord between the keyboard and iPad to maybe offer pass-through charging
Overall if you like the Apple MKB form factor but not the price I think this is your best bet. It’s not perfect but it more than does the job and is a great value considering it includes a case. The ability to raise the viewing angle of the iPad is great and unique too. ESR is also an established company and has reliable customer service if anything goes wrong.

This REBOUND is ESR's latest iPad keyboard case that supports using it in portrait mode. The other, and older case is ESR's ASCEND (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N72W7KX). They both offer the same functions, like the portrait mode, Bluetooth keyboard, trackpad, and a better value compared to Apple's and Logitech ones.
There are plenty of cheaper ones by other manufacturers, but they all come at the sacrifice of materials, quality and connectivity. ESR has a good track record of releasing quality products, customer support, and unique (sometimes weird) designs.
I've tested both, and this review can help you understand why they are designed for different workflows.
Materials and Durability:
- This REBOUND case is heavier at 891g versus the ASCEND's 650g, and you'll feel the difference in your hands. It's heavy - if you combine the REBOUND with an iPad Pro 11, the total weight is actually heavier than the 13" M2 MacBook Air!
- The REBOUND is chonky, with a plush exterior and tastefully centered logo. To me, the most significant difference is in the case that holds the iPad itself - The ASCEND uses a hard plastic that's prone to crack around the camera, while the REBOUND uses a pliable TPU to wrap around the iPad, eliminating that problem.
- The REBOUND iPad case has a soft microfiber lining compared to the ASCEND's hard interior. This prevents scuffs to your iPad's body.
Keyboard.
- While the photos show that the ASCEND's keyboard has a larger layout, its keys are smaller and feel unstable while typing. The REBOUND's keyboard has larger, well-spaced keys that allow for faster, more accurate typing with its sturdy case backing.
- The ASCEND does include full media keys and quick access buttons, but overall, the REBOUND delivers a superior typing experience.
Trackpad.
- The ASCEND's larger size means you can navigate the entire iPad screen without repeatedly swiping. The REBOUND's smaller trackpad requires more effort.
Hinge.
- The photos show how the ASCEND offers free adjustability, while the REBOUND is limited to one form - the laptop position.
To summarize, both ESR models perform their functions well. The choice between the ESR REBOUND and the ASCEND keyboard cases will depend on your intended usage:
- If you are using the iPad with an Apple Pencil, require adjustable screen angles, and frequently work without a desk most of the time, the ASCEND is the favorable option.
- If you are mostly parked at a desk when working with the iPad, and even use an external mouse, the REBOUND's solid and ergonomic design will work better.
But if I would make a recommendation, why not GET BOTH? Even without any discounts, you'll get the best of both worlds for a price lower than that of an Apple Magic Keyboard! (https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Keyboard-11-inch-iPad-Generation/dp/B0863BQJMS)
