You can save on Brydge wireless keyboards for iPad

If you’re shopping for a deal this weekend, there are a few we want to tell you about. As is usually the case, some of them have happened the past few days, but others are new ones that appeared more recently.

Brydge is conducting a back-to-school sale on its wireless Bluetooth keyboards for iPad, which would be helpful if you are physically returning to class or just going where you left off at home. If you have an iPad Pro (2018 as the latest version of 2020), its Brydge Pro keyboards, pictured above, are up to $ 50 off, to $ 100 for the 11-inch keyboard and $ 130 for the 12.9-inch keyboard -inch model.

My colleague Sam Byford has looked at many iPad keyboards and he thought this provided the best laptop-like experience, saying: ‘It feels just like a laptop, thanks to the responsive keys and well-designed hinges that hang around the corners climb out of the iPad and – essentially – let you easily remove it for tablet use. “

In case you missed it, added iPadOS mouse support, and Brydge created a version of this keyboard with a built-in trackpad (seen in the photo above). They’re more expensive (though not as expensive as Apple’s Magic Keyboard), but they let you turn your iPad Pro into even more of a laptop replacement. That’s each $ 30 off at Amazon, starting at $ 170 for the 11-inch version and $ 200 for the larger 12.9-inch version. Just click on the coupon button below the price on their respective product pages to get the discount.

If you’re the seventh-generation 10.2-inch iPad, Brydge also makes a wireless keyboard for that model. It’s normally $ 130, but it’s currently $ 100. It’s available in three colors, just like the iPad: silver, space gray, and gold. It looks like the keyboard above for the iPad Pro, and as you can see from the image above, it’s not thicker than the iPad itself. Brydge claims that it provides one year of battery life per charge, and the keys are lit.

Here is another deal that may be a good fit for a student or really anyone looking for a cheap but good phone. Daily Steals has brand new stock of the original Google Pixel XL with a 5.5-inch OLED screen and 32GB of storage (in black and white), and it offers it Ferry readers for $ 95 with the offer code VERGEPIXL used at checkout. The Pixel has officially reached the end of the line when it comes to official Android updates (it was released in 2016, mind you), with Android 10’s latest major upgrade. But it can still be a good fit if you just need an unlocked Android phone with a good camera and one that works with any US carrier.

Like I mentioned, the phones themselves are new, but according to Daily Steals, they were purchased directly from Google’s surplus, and were therefore not equipped with a charging cable and wall adapter. In principle, they did not receive the packaging treatment. That said, Daily Steals will record a purchase with an aftermarket cable and charger. These have a 90-day warranty through Daily Steals.

Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS4 is currently down to $ 40 at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. My colleague Andrew Webster called it in his review an ‘exciting, thinking take on a classic’. If you did not know, was the FF7R occupies the first part of the game in Midgar. That section is not too long in the original title, but Square Enix has completely re-imagined the world and worked out more quests, a new battle system, and some slight changes to the story.

Walmart has a lot to check if you just bought a Nintendo Switch. You can get two digital downloads for $ 120 and a 128 GB microSD card comes free (usually around $ 30 by itself) with the purchase. What’s better is that these digital downloads are for must-have games, as well Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Tennis Aces, and more. You can select “Edit this bundle” to mix and match the games to your liking.
