Our Verdict
Poor keyboard for gaming. The Fintie Soft TPU Keyboard Case For iPad 7th Gen isn't designed to be a gaming keyboard as there are no dedicated macro keys or any type of backlighting. However, it has a low pre-travel distance and low actuation force.
- Great for mobile use.
- Good tactile feedback.
- Lack of backlighting.
- Disappointing build quality.
The Fintie Soft TPU Keyboard Case For iPad 7th Gen is very good for mobile/tablet use. The case holds the keyboard well and on its own, the keyboard's small and light to carry around. You can connect your device to it via Bluetooth, but unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-device pairing. It's fully compatible with iPadOS and iOS and only certain keys don't work on other operating systems.

Decent for office use. The Fintie Soft TPU Keyboard Case For iPad 7th Gen has decent ergonomics and the typing quality isn't bad, but it's probably not the best choice to type with all day.
