I echo everything positive that's already been said about this keyboard/case combo. I love it and it's made my iPad Pro my default computing device maybe 90% of the time. The build quality is very good and yes, while it's heavy, remember that it has to be or else it would tip over.
My only concerns so far, after a few weeks of use, is that the outer case that protects the back of the iPad is prone to collecting scratches pretty easily. I'm very careful with my toys but already there are noticeable scratches and I can't imagine from what. Also, be aware that, since both the case surrounding the iPad and the slot into which the iPad is inserted into the keyboard are both plastic, after time you'll hear plastic-on-plastic squeaking and creaking as you open and close your iPad against the keyboard. During normal use, and while poking the screen, no problem. Only when adjusting the angle of the iPad or opening/closing is it heard. The reason this bothers me is that in meetings, I can't adjust it during quiet moments. I'm going to try wedging some kind of thin padding into the slot somehow to see if that keeps the plastic from sounding like a pig rooting for truffles.
Everything else about it is about as perfect as you could hope. I love the extra keyboard functions like the task switcher, Siri, etc. Best bang for your buck with this keyboard if you can look past its necessary weight, the possibility of being a scratch magnet, and the creaking sounds that will develop over time. I still don't regret the purchase!

Using this on a Mac, the software freezes during capture far too often. I cannot rely on it long enough to leave a full-length video cassette running while I go off and do something else. When it works, it works well...unfortunately it is rare that it works without having to start, stop, rewind, start and recapture videos over and over. And there aren't any "extra" settings to adjust, so there isn't anything I can do to try to "fix" the problem.

Mouse options?
I would like to know if there is any way to connect a mouse or wireless mouse I do not see any usb
No, unfortunately. iOS is not designed to use mice and the iPad Pro is an iOS device. If using a mouse is a primary need, consider using an Android tablet that allows for this. I understand Samsung may offer something like this.

Will this fit with my 7-9 inch screen ipad pro?
Not this model. This is built specifically for the 12.9" iPad Pro. I'm sure Zagg offers or will offer one for the 9.7" iPad Pro.
