It was inevitable that the feature that sees RGB lights go crazy on gamer mice and keyboards sooner or later would also arrive on mobile sooner or later, with a multi-faceted product and absolutely for all budgets like the Stellarie keyboard case for iPad 9.7 by Inateck.
A full optional case for transport and use in environments that are not really suitable: very young users come to mind, but you need to be humble and understand that many of these features are often used by everyone, especially for travelers.
The backlit keyboard is very interesting: useful at night, it also stands out during the day
Inateck Stellarie keyboard case for iPad 9.7 ″, the review
Safety first
There are many things to tell about the new Inateck Stellarie keyboard case for iPad 9.7 ″, starting with the materials: out of the box, the soft plastic that acts as a protective shell is immediately caressed: more than other cases, in fact, and above all much more than those by Apple, here the case is total, so much so that although we do not have certain data we are sure that an accidental fall from a sofa height, for example, can be cushioned by the rubber.
In fact, the protection is accentuated in the corners, which in addition to offering a greater surface area also have a small internal air chamber to cushion the blows.
This aspect, alone, makes the cover interesting for those who entrust the iPad to children, usually not very attentive to the solidity of the devices.
Retractable lectern
The back is characterized by two flaps that offer a comfortable vertical position, adjustable in three different steps: phenomenal for writing, also interesting for reading and / or watching movies in bed or on the sofa.
The game of the limpets is very comfortable (due to the three positions) and solid, even without proper hooks (the system requires a snap on the fly) however it must be understood first because it is not completely obvious the first time.
Furthermore, but this is a problem shared with almost all the other covers on the market, there is a Lectern mode only horizontally, when here and there it would be useful to have it also vertically.
Appreciated the ability to accommodate the Apple Pencil when not in use just below the display.

And there was light
But as much as they say and as far as you have read so far let's be honest, the most important feature and that catches the eye first is undoubtedly that of the backlit keyboard.
The keyboard, which normally acts as a cover for the display once closed but which can also be detached if desired, offers a Bluetooth connection (with internal Micro USB charging battery) with QWERTY layout (the same as for Macs).
Once turned on, using the convenient switch at the top, the keyboard lights up in three colors: Red, Blue and Light Blue which identify the three different color zones (left, center and right).

Some commands on the keys allow you to edit the colors and customize them with our needs, basically a light version of what is possible with the most famous gamer keyboards (like this one for example).
The lighting is a really nice effect: it allows you to use the iPad even in the dark with a display lighting that is not excessive but substantially also during the day it should be noted, especially by the little ones who love this effect.
If not used, the light turns off by itself after a few seconds, but just touch a button and it reappears immediately.
For the rest, the use of the keyboard is quite good: the keys are not very large and the stroke is a bit long, therefore designed more for those who have to manage not very long texts, such as chats or for those who perhaps surf a lot via iPad. .
The position as a lectern is adjustable in three positions
