Inateck Keyboard KB04111

I am absolutely amazed at how good this is, considering the price. The only possible nitpicking I might have is that there is slightly (a fraction of a millimeter) too much play in the case and the iPad moves a tiny bit inside. The the keyboard is detachable and works awesome. It’s really hard for me to believe how inexpensive this was.

I've been using this case for over four months now and have no problems. The case and keyboard element are very high quality and extremely durable. The magnet feature of the keyboard is very strong and does not fall off in the middle of use. The Bluetooth connection works great and has no interruptions in connectivity during use. The case is a little heavy, but that is expected for this style, and it's still comfortable overall. I love how you can use the stand vertically and horizontally. Overall best option in its price point

Update: The company reached out to me. They sent me a new keyboard case to replace the current keyboard case. The overall customer experience is 5/5 stars. That said, I can't give this review a full 5 stars due to the original delivery of said part. Granted, this could've been a returned item to Amazon warehouse and never actually sent back to the seller, but, I digress. If I could, I would give this review 4.5/5. Definitely will be buying from this seller again 😁 Original Review: Upon arrival of the iPad case. The quality is definitely nice, and the feel is good. The magnets between the case and keyboard are strong, and the keyboard itself is solid. The trackpad is smooth with a slight delay, but the gesture controls work very well. My only complaint is that the Y key, when the keyboard first delivered, fell from the keyboard. I attempted to originally try and reinstall it, but it turned out, the clips on the back of the key were broken. So I resorted to super glueing the key into place. The key looks ok, but I wouldn’t buy again. I do like the keyboard case, but for $50, the original price of this keyboard, it’s not worth it if they all deliver broken. I got the keyboard on sale for $30, which is the only reason why I didn’t bother attempting to return the keyboard since it wasn’t worth the hassle for $30, knowing that other keyboards in the $30 price range are worse in quality. I would’ve given the keyboard a 5 star, but due to how it delivered, I will keep it at a 2 star. But if the company reaches out and corrects this, I will change the rating to a 4 star

Did I mention perfect! If you’re looking for a portable, backlit, detachable keyboard that is really quiet, this is the one for you! I love this keyboard! I brought a more expensive one but it was not detachable nor was the keyboard backlit, and this has 7 colors you can change the keyboard to! I am so happy I purchased this, for a fraction of the most expensive ones out there. It has made me love using my I-pad again! I was even able to use this while on an international flight and it helped me stay productive in a very tight seat. I have no complaints about this keyboard and will use it for as long as I can! It’s exactly what I was looking for in a Bluetooth keyboard for use with my iPad! If you are on the fence buy it, you will not regret it!

Very nice quality. Good texture and fit.

I am currently using this keyboard to type out this review. Right off the bat, I was surprised at the build quality of the folio. It is both good and bad… The plastic mold has a nice feel to it. It wraps around the main case for the iPad and for the keyboard. It reminds me of a Surface Laptop keyboard, but without the alcantara material. Another similarity to the Surface products is the stand that’s attached to the main case. It has a satisfying click when the magnet locks into the closed position. And being able to open it to different angles of viewing is nice to have. Even having it upright is possible because of the triangular cut out on the cover (similar to the image on the cover). The case… fits… There feels to be about a millimeter of gap between my iPad (4th Gen Air) and the case. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall out of it, but it does wiggle around when moving. The keyboard can be flipped to the back of the iPad or set to open outwards (as if you were going to use it to type). It attaches to the main case via a long magnet that runs along the left side of the iPad. It does appear to be stronger when I have the keyboard facing the back of the iPad? The keyboard tends to come off very easily when I use it to try and type. The temporary solution is to detach it, and use it separately. This may be the intended use for the folio which isn’t that big of a deal. The lights are VERY bright, which is a highlight for this keyboard folio (pun intended). You can switch through different colors (white, blue, cyan, green, yellow, red, and purple). You can also toggle through 3 different brightnesses. There are several function keys at the top of the keyboard: brightness controls, iPad search, screenshot, global command, skip, pause, forward for media, volume controls, a lock(?, unsure of this functionality), and a delete key. You get the standard functional keys for a Mac, such as control, option, and command. The inclusion of dedicated arrow keys is also a plus (quite handy for this review). Now, the WORST part of the keyboard, is that some of the keys are very mushy. Some even get stuck, such as my Z key. This is the worst part of keyboard. This may be due to a quality issue, nearly every key on this keyboard feels great. The scissor switches feel similar to the MacBook keyboard, a very tactile feeling. However, for some reason, the bottom left corner of my keyboard is very mushy. The Z and CMD key stays down unless I tap it very lightly. It detracts from the experience of using the keyboard dramatically since typing can be interrupted on the iPad by long-pressing a key to access àccented letters. The mousepad has a bit of a delay. Definitely noticeable when comparing to the official keyboard folio due to the fact that the keyboard uses Bluetooth. Overall, I think this would be a great keyboard folio for the price, but the quality issues are the reasons that I won’t be using this folio.

This is gonna be a lengthy review. I’m writing this review, as an unbiased reviewer who just bought this as I thought it looked good (and was on the cheaper side), to get my thoughts out onto the page and hopefully help you, the customer, make a decision on this product. To preface, I am a PC / Laptop user through and through, but as I made my way to college for Music Education, an iPad became more practical for me to carry around. I will be, in this review, at times, comparing it to a laptop experience. Build Quality / Materials: - The “shell”, and keyboard is made from ABS Plastic, and has an almost leather-like quality. It feels amazing in the hands, rigid, and is incredibly resistant to everyday wear and tear. - The product itself is split into two parts, the case and the keyboard. The keyboard is incredibly light, but not too light that it feels cheap. It’s a great balance, and doesn’t add too much weight to the device. The case, which includes an adjustable stand, has been amazing for getting the perfect angle, as it allows you to rotate the iPad as you see fit. It hasn’t failed me yet, and I don’t see that happening. - The “case” portion of it has relatively nice protection for if you dropped it, and even comes with camera inserts to further protect it! There’s also a cutout for the Apple Pencil at the top, which is nice, and obviously, cutouts for all the ports. - When you close the “lid” over the screen, the device does turn off, which is awesome! Just be aware that the keyboard doesn’t automatically turn off. Obviously, but something to remember, as the device will lose power. - The magnet strength leaves much to be desired. While it’s nothing horrible, it doesn’t wow me. Lifting the iPad alone will lead to the keyboard falling off, and while this is fine, I wish it was just a bit stronger. To add on to this, when you close the keyboard over the screen, it does turn off. There is some level of magnets that turn it off, but it does not stay at all if turned upside down. Having magnets that keep the keyboard closed over the screen in any way would be amazing. Device Functionality: - The Bluetooth connectivity works.. Most of the time. The trackpad is advertised as nearly zero latency, which just isn’t true. It’s.. Fine? It works for everyday use, but highlighting things can be difficult at times, as sometimes the trackpad registers that you let go, and stops highlighting. To summarize, the trackpad can be a bit laggy, but, hey, it’s Bluetooth. If you want something with zero latency, you’re gonna have to shell out more money to get the Logitech or Apple keyboards. - The typing experience is nearly flawless, with the exception of some minor glitches, but nothing major or out of the ordinary. - The only major glitch I’ve noticed is just the device itself sometimes just.. Stops working? But all you need to do is turn it off and on, and without fail it always fixes itself. - The keys themselves, for the most part, have been fine. Low travel distance, good size, small buttons, sure, it’s not a full massive keyboard. Compared to a laptop, it’s small. This took some adjustment, but after I got used to it, it was perfect. The only “problem” I’ve noticed is the spacebar has a bit of a springy noise. Not sure if this is something I can fix myself, or just something I have to deal with, but it’s nothing major, just not favorable for typing in a classroom / lecture setting. Aside from that, the keys are about as quiet as any similar type of keyboard. - Battery life so far has given zero issues. Rarely have to charge, and I've never once worried about it dying. Color / Lightning: - The backlight has 3 different brightness settings, and 7 color options. They’re all great, and practical! I settled on purple, as it’s my favorite color. - I went with the “Dark Gray” color, and I love how it looks, as the keys and trackpad are a lighter gray than the rest of the body, which gives it a sleek look. Shortcuts / Gestures: - The device has 13 “function” keys, ranging from volume up / down, brightness, screenshot, etc. These vary in how helpful they are, but it’s nice that they’re all there! - It also has shortcuts to change the brightness, color, and check the battery. The battery “level” indicator leaves much to be desired. It ranges from 1 blink of the red light to 4 to show how “charged” it is. Different color indicators would be more preferable as it would be easier to tell, but again, it’s fine. Overall, I’m giving it 5 stars. I will be using this product for as long as it holds up, and don’t see myself replacing it for the foreseeable future. For $50 dollars, you’re getting quite the bang for your buck. It’s a really high quality product at an affordable price, and can 100% recommend it. Thanks for taking the time to read my review! Hope it was helpful!

First Impressions are HIGH. iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3rd gen fits very well and does not slide around like some other reviews suggested. I assume those were the IPad Airs that have that issue. It is a bummer that the trackpad does not have tap to click and does require physically pushing the pad to activate click, but at the price point definitely not a deal breaker. It is heavier than I expected but I like that, it feels robust. It was easy to connect and is comfortable to type on. I am hopeful my current positive opinion does not fade with issues over time, but I am very excited to use this every day as it will make my work life much easier.

買って正解でした！キーボードがとてもおすすめ！見た目もかっこう良くてうまくiPadとペアリングできました。愛用してます。

Works. I find it too heavy

Who knew a case could bring this much joy? The Inateck iPad Pro 11-inch Case with Keyboard is like a super-suit for my iPad—it transforms it from a tablet into a mini laptop with style and functionality to spare. Not only does this case look sleek in gray, but it also fits perfectly and provides solid protection for my device. The detachable keyboard is a game-changer. I can use my iPad vertically for reading or flip it to landscape for typing and multitasking. Plus, the 7-color backlight adds a nice pop of personality (I admit, I cycle through colors just for fun!). The touchpad is smooth and responsive, making it super easy to navigate without lifting my fingers off the keyboard. The keyboard pairs effortlessly with my iPad, and the battery life is impressive. It’s great not having to worry about charging it constantly. Whether I’m working, watching videos, or gaming, this case adapts with ease. If you want to turn your iPad into a portable, functional powerhouse, this case is a fantastic choice! Highly recommend it to anyone who’s ready to make their iPad work a little harder (and look awesome doing it)!

このキーボードは、US配列です。記載がなかったので、がっかりしました。あと、重いです。 電源スイッチが奥まったところにあり、操作しにくいです。 よかった点は、ケースの角度設定が使いやすい、キーボードが打ちやすい（JIS配列ならもっとよかったが）カメラの保護カバーが付いているのが、地味にいいです。純正のMagic Keyboardを持っていますが、外出用では、保護性能が高いこのkeyboardを使用したいと思います。

Has everything I need it to have: • a separate detachable keyboard • a separate stand for the iPad • responsive and functioning keys and trackpad • good keyboard backlight • and a lasting battery before needing to charge it again. One thing to note, however, is that the trackpad isn’t as fast as normal keyboards (eg on a laptop), which is expected for its price and shouldn’t be a problem since the iPad is touchscreen anyway. I’m glad I found this instead of buying ones that cost more than $200.
