Brydge C-Type

This keyboard works great with a Chromebook. It's built solid and well made. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a Chromebook. It makes a perfect addition to your setup.

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.

Functional, satisfactory, quality, but I wish Chromebook keyboards were available with backlighting. No one seems to want to serve this market.

I have been using an ASUS ChromeBox as my work computer for a few months now. I replaced a mac with it, and by proxy I had been using an Apple Keyboard since the transition. The Apple Keyboard severely lacked functionality. The brightness never worked, the multitasking window button was not existent, and I could not take screenshots.Since purchasing the Brydge C-Type I no longer have issues! I have full functionality of my computer, and it has made a huge difference.The only downside in my opinion is that it does not have a dedicated numbers section, so it is a small keyboard compared to what I was used to.The build quality is great, and the key travel makes it fun to type. Highly recommend this keyboard for any desktop users!

Great bluetooth keyboard for Chrome OS. Pairing was super simple and very fast. I don't know of any other dedicated Chrome OS options, but Brydge didn't cut any corners. The keyboard is extremely well built. The keys feel quite nice. I'd compare them to the standard Mac desktop keyboard. It has USB-C connectivity just in case you run out of battery. My only complaint is that I'm just not a fan of this metallic blue-ish black color of the frame. I don't think peripherals should only be offered in a color that could be a bit off putting. Sometimes it looks blackish / grayish and that's cool, but when the blue shines through, I'm not a fan.

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.

PROs. + This is a great quality keyboard.+ It is extremely thin, yet sturdy for all day use.+ The keys are as responsive as the original Chromebook keyboard.+ excellent value for the money+ OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE, fast, accurate and extremely helpfulCONs- none. I had an issue, sent an email to their support team. Mason responded within minutes. Solved the issue immediately by offering to send replacement. That shipped in a day. Superb. Problem solved and product works great.Such a great experience with Brydge. I’ll be looking at their other products.Highly recommend the Brydge keyboard.

The keyboard is good. The build quality is good. The keys are completely flat. Some keyboards have slightly raised edges. The bluetooth connection is ok but slow when it has to wake up from sleep modus (that starts after 15 min, I haven't found a way to turn that off yet). I would have preferred them to include a USB-RF dongle/receiver. My mouse and other keyboard have that and they connects (even though they're asleep) right away. So room for improvement on this point. The keyboard also feels slightly smaller. For the eye it doesn't appear to have smaller keys or less distance between the keys, but it does feel that way. That is a matter of getting used to. All ChromeOS specific keys work perfectly on my Asus Chromebox 3 and 4.
