Heavy and bulky with mushy keys

I have a love-hate relationship with this cover and keypad. When I'm using it in landscape with the key pad, I love the fact that there are three adjustment positions for screen viewing. The keyboard is thin and folds up nicely against the screen when not in use. Unfortunately, the negatives outweigh the positives with this package. The entire package is just too thick and bulky. I previously used an Apple cover for the iPad Air 2 that was extremely thin and light. My heart just sank at the weight of the Fintie combo when I opened the box. The keyboard is compact and has all the right keys that you would want but they have a deep press and click that reminds me of keyboards from 20 years ago. That mushy press creates a noticeable lag when typing that gets uncomfortable. The keyboard is also magnetic, which allows you to move it around. That has good and bad aspects as well... like what do I do with it when I'm not using it? The biggest dislike is that since its so bulky, I often use it without the keyboard. Then the cover becomes very awkward since it doesn't fold up where you want it to and becomes a chore to hold in the landscape position. And then you have to remember where you left the keyboard... I'll be keeping this combo since it does what it says it does. Nonetheless, it is big and heavy and I'll just keep searching for something sleeker. I just don't understand why no one makes a keyboard cover for an iPad that has the same slim design as the cover for a Microsoft Surface tablet.
