  "account": "Brydge, an Apple accessory company that recently returned, has unveiled a new range of color-matched keyboards for the entry-level iPad. While Apple offers its iPad in four different colors, the Magic Keyboard for the device is only available in white. This prompted Brydge to launch its latest lineup.\n\nThe 11-inch base model iPad comes in silver, blue, pink, and yellow. In response, Brydge is offering a premium aluminum keyboard that matches each of the four colors. The company aims to provide a cohesive look by matching the keyboard color to the iPad's finish.\n\nMost aluminum iPad keyboards typically come in neutral finishes, but Brydge 11.0 takes a different approach. The keyboard features color-matched anodized aluminum that complements the iPad's blue, pink, yellow, and silver colors, resulting in a seamless setup.\n\nBrydge emphasizes that the keyboard offers the same quality and features as its other products. This includes solid aluminum construction, a full-size backlit keyboard with 1.3mm of travel, an all-glass multi-touch trackpad that supports all iPadOS gestures, and strong magnets to keep the iPad securely in place. The keyboard also features Bluetooth connectivity that automatically reconnects when the case is opened.\n\nThe battery life is impressive, lasting up to three months without the backlight and a total of 40 hours with the backlight on. It is charged via USB-C. The keyboard, known as the Brydge 11.0, is compatible with the iPad (10th generation) and iPad (A16) models and costs $159. In comparison, Apple's Magic Keyboard Folio costs $249.\n\nThe Brydge 11.0 keyboard set is expected to be available for purchase on the company's website and official Amazon store around the middle of the month.",
