Apparently the brydge keyboard for the mini 5 fits and works with the mini 6.

here’s my short review of the amazon keyboard case for the mini. the short and sweet is i like it and am happy i purchased it.

Negatives:

• adds a lot of weight and bulk to a small device (im attaching a photo of it next to my Zugu case which is also thick)
• it doesn’t have a holder for the pencil. it’s just an open space so when closing/opening the case i knock it off
• it is not a great typing experience. the letter keys are really small. the more i use it the better i get at it.

Positives:

• the hinge is solid and tight. i can position the screen any way i want.
• works well using it on my lap on the couch by twisting the screen and having the keyboard behind.
• the trackpad works well. it does fine with 2 finger scrolling. i have a iklever keyboard/trackpad and it doesn’t do well with scrolling.
• the power button is completely open so it makes it easy for touch id
• there are little rubber nubs on keyboard so the keys don’t touch the screen when closed
• it looks and feels premium
• auto sleeps/wakes
• charges via usb c

in the end i really like being able to position the screen however i want and having the keyboard when i want it. i am not a big typist. if you have any specific questions let me know.

Sounds like a great case. Thanks for your review! I'd like to get this combo to replace my One Mix Yoga 2S.

I hope that whoever does one next considers doing away with the cutout for the charging port so we can use our hubs/card readers without having to take the case off.

I've used a USB-C 90-degree adapter at times to get around that problem (and the problem of dangling hubs).

I'd rather cut the plastic and make the space myself if it comes to that. That's pretty much my plan if Brydge/Zagg/Logitech/etc don't come through by mid-March.
