ESSAGER iPad Keyboard Case for iPad Pro 12.9 in - Trackpad & Kickstand

In this review the ESSAGER iPad Keyboard Case is looked at as a productivity accessory for owners of the 12.9 in iPad Pro across recent generations. The bottom line: this keyboard case is most useful for people who want a laptop-like workflow on an iPad thanks to its large multi-touch trackpad, magnetic stability, and flexible viewing angles. It is not a trivial sleeve replacement but a feature-rich keyboard shell designed for typing, drawing, and media viewing with the iPad OS 14.5 or later.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with 12.9 in iPad Pro 3rd through 6th Gen, so owners of those models can expect a tailored fit and port access.
• Multi-touch trackpad: The generous, responsive trackpad supports multi-touch gestures to create a MacBook-like navigation experience for productivity and browsing.
• 0-130 degree kickstand: Stepless angle adjustment provides precise tilt for typing, drawing, viewing, or reading in a range of seated and desk positions.
• Backlit keys: Three brightness levels on white backlighting help when typing in low light without wasting battery on full illumination.
• Magnetic adsorption: Built-in high-strength magnets hold the iPad securely in place so the screen stays steady while typing or using the trackpad.
• Protective materials: Hydrophobic outer leather and soft plush inner lining protect the iPad from spills and scratches while keeping the case lightweight.

Who It's For

The ESSAGER keyboard case is aimed at iPad Pro 12.9 in users who want to replace a laptop for light to moderate office work, email, web browsing, and content creation with Apple Pencil support. Its full-size keys, scissor mechanism, and trackpad make it a good fit for students and professionals who value a stable typing surface and gesture control.

It is less suitable for those who need a highly rugged case for heavy field use or a detachable folio with a full range of proprietary Smart Connector features; users who require RGB lighting or iPad models outside the listed 3rd to 6th generations should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large multi-touch trackpad provides smooth gesture navigation for iPad OS.
• Stepless 0-130 degree kickstand offers flexible viewing and drawing angles.
• Metal scissor keys with 1.5 mm travel deliver quiet, comfortable typing for longer sessions.
• Durable magnets and protective inner plush keep the iPad secure and scratch-free.

Cons

• Backlight is white-only with three brightness levels, so no RGB customization for users wanting colored lighting.
• Requires iPad OS 14.5 or later, so very old iPads or out-of-date software will not support all features.
