High-quality Chrome OS keyboard...I'm very pleased.
By Skirl on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2025
I'm a Chromebook "power-user" and wanted a bluetooth keyboard to use with my standing desk. While many "universal" keyboards will work with Chromebooks, I wanted one that matched/mirrored my Pixelbook Go layout, and the Brydge-C is it. The keys are almost identical in look and tactile feel, with black keys and bright white lettering. The layout is maybe 1/2" wider than the Pixelbook Go layout, and the keys are not backlit but the contrast is excellent nonetheless. It even has the dedicated Google Assistant key in the lower left, just like the Pixelbook Go. The body is made of a beautiful dark blue metal, and there are ample rubber pads on the bottom to hold it steady. The unit is rechargeable, so no batteries to mess with. You can plug it in via USB-C or use it in bluetooth mode, which I prefer. Connection was fast and simple. Overall, the keyboard works perfectly and has a very good build-quality. Every once in awhile I manage to buy an excellent product at a great price, and this is one of those purchases for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a dedicated Chromebook BT keyboard, you won't be disappointed.

Do not buy this keyboard if you expect to be able to walk up to it cold, and start typing....
By Jim W. Howard on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021
I'll keep it short and sweet: This keyboard goes to "sleep" after 15 minutes of not typing and takes as many as 15 seconds to wake up from its little nap. Bottom line -- when you walk up to your computer and expect to start typing, the keyboard takes a long time to wake up, and does not remember "some" of the things you typed to wake it up. Sound annoying? It is. I am returning this to Amazon today for this single reason. Otherwise, it's the best feeling and looking keboard I've seen without an "apple" logo on it. It's a lovely piece of junk, for my use. Consider this real world use case: You're watching a video, reading an article, doing any kinf of scrolling and clicking and a few minutes in, it's time to type something. You're already "involved" and actively using your computer so you expect your keyboard works, right? Wrong. You'll have to wait a few seconds or as many as 30 for it to catch up, then realize it has missed a few characters, then back up, then type them again. I honestly can't believe a keyboard with firmware this bad -- aggressively turning the device off while I need it -- ever got out the door of Brydge. It's that bad. Oh, their solution? Plug it in. As in, use the USB connection. So then it's not a wireless keyboard is it, now? Stupid. Do not buy this keyboard in Septemper of 2021 if the above scenario does not sound like something you'd enjoy. You're not going to have a good time.
