Reasonable size and weight: A keyboard case makes an iPad bulkier and heavier, but it shouldn’t do so to an unreasonable extent.Solid protection: A good keyboard case must protect your iPad well, covering the device’s back and sides in such a way as to prevent scratches and mitigate damage from drops.We prefer (but don’t require) dedicated keys, as opposed to overlays that require you to press the Fn key to access these functions. Dedicated iPadOS keys: We like having iPadOS-specific keys for functions such as Spotlight (search), brightness adjustment, and Home.The keys should have a decent amount of travel (the distance you press the key to activate it) and should have a good tactile feel. Good keys: The keys shouldn’t be so small or so cramped that you regularly press adjacent keys by accident.The right key layout: The keyboard should use a standard key layout with all the expected keys in all the correct locations.If typing on the keyboard isn’t dramatically better than typing on the iPad’s screen, there’s no point to the extra weight and expense. A good typing experience: The most important part of any iPad keyboard case is the keyboard itself.
