Apple Magic Keyboard: iPad Keyboard and case for iPad Pro 12.9 inch (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gen) and iPad Air (M2), Great Typing Experience, Built-in trackpad, US English - Black

I travel a lot for work, and use the iPad Pro as my entertainment on the plane or in the hotel, my presentation tool with clients, and for general computer tasks. But it was never quite ‘there’ for everything I needed. Sometimes I might want to do various tasks that still had me reaching for my MacBook Air or Mac Studio when I returned home. Eventually, however, I went on a minimalist spree of lightening the load for travel. So I took a punt on this ridiculously priced keyboard. While I am still in the honeymoon phase, and only on my first business trip, I am already completely converted. The keyboard itself is outstanding. Feels as good as a laptop. The lighting is smart, coming on at just the right moment when ambient light in the room would make seeing the keys a little tough. The touch pad is smaller than a laptop, but super functional, and integrated into the OS far better than I imagined it would be. So between that and the ability to touch the screen, it is an absolute winner. On the plane, and in the hotel, if I just want to watch a movie or TV show, I sometimes use a relatively cheap stand. But when I want to type something, I can just pop this onto the magnets and type away. A few years back, I had a different MacBook which developed a flaw and needed a repair. So I bought a keyboard for my iPad, and remember being very disappointed. There was lag, it was a very cheesy solution, and as soon as my Mac came back from repair, I returned the keyboard for a refund. Fast forward, and my M1 iPad Pro 12.9 flies with this keyboard. No lag, in fact it is as fast as my Air. The only real issues are the limitations of iPadOS, and various applications that either offer a cut down or no version for the iPad. However, I think for most users, it will be fine. Now, would I advocate having the iPad Pro and this keyboard instead of a laptop? No, absolutely not. But for travel, it does 95% of what I need it to very well. I find the iPad to be an extremely versatile product for business and fun. Thanks to this keyboard, I now have a travel solution that weighs considerably less than also carrying a laptop. I was originally going to go with black, but then Amazon offered me the instant gratification of next day delivery on the white one. I also heard from some reviewers that while it might be counter-intuitive, the white is easier to keep clean. The matte black is easier to get noticeable fingerprints on it. Unless something radically changes, I’m going to turn in my old MacBook Air for a trade in that I can put towards my next Apple purchase. Thanks expensive Apple keyboard!

Works great with my ipad Pro. The keyboard types well. I love how the screen will rotate to numerous positions. Highly recommend

This keyboard works great with my iPad. The build quality feels solid and premium, just what you'd expect from Apple. The keys are responsive, and the trackpad is smooth and reliable, making it easy to navigate without reaching for the screen all the time. The magnetic attachment is strong, and the overall design is sleek and functional. It really turns the iPad into a laptop-like experience. The only thing I wish it had is a built-in holder for the Apple Pencil. That small addition would make an already great product even better.

The Apple Magic Keyboard is a total game-changer. The keys feel premium, the backlight is perfect, and the trackpad works flawlessly. It makes the iPad Pro feel like a full laptop — absolutely worth the price!

I had wanted an Apple Magic Keyboard for my 4th generation (2020) iPad Pro 12.9 for a long time. When I saw the Amazon Prime member exclusive Black Friday 2023 deal for $229, I decided to buy one figuring it probably wouldn't hit a lower price. Even at $120 off, it is still an expensive accessory. The Apple Magic Keyboard transforms the iPad experience, but is not at all necessary for those who may be feeling a bit of "FOMO". It's just a "nice to have". The iPad magnetically attaches to the case which opens up like a laptop and features a keyboard & trackpad (powered by the iPad). The magnetic hold is strong so there is no fear of the iPad detaching without force. The keyboard is also backlit which is really nice and the backlight is adjustable in the iPad settings. The viewing angle of the iPad is also adjustable and typing on the keyboard feels really nice (beats the on-screen virtual keyboard IMHO). The trackpad works as you would expect allowing you to move a cursor around and use the iPad more like a computer but at the end of the day it is still just an iPad. I am finding that I prefer using my iPad attached to the Apple Magic Keyboard over using the iPad as a tablet. Cons: The Apple Magic Keyboard was designed to be used with the iPad Pro in a fixed, landscape position. This means that you would need to detach the iPad and use it as a tablet for apps that can only be used vertically. As a case, only the front and back of the iPad are protected. There are a handful of cases available designed to work with the Apple Magic Keyboard if you find that want extra protection. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

This keyboard doesn't fully fold back. It's impractical if you want to keep using your iPad as a simple tablet.

Sure it is not a cheap product, but it certainly works very well. It was a present for my wife and it has been in very frequent use for the past three years without any issues.

Verdammt teuer, aber halt Apple Qualität und Kompatibilität...

I have been questioning whether or not to buy the Magic Keyboard for months due to the price. I bought a cheaper alternative and hated it, having to pair the Bluetooth every time and features that work on the Apple Magic Keyboard not available on the alternative one annoyed me and so i decided i would return it and got the official Apple Magic Keyboard for my iPad 12.9” on Black Friday and like all Apple product i have not been disappointed. Yes the Magic Keyboard is expensive but the quality is what you would expect from Apple, well made and it just works, no mucking about with Bluetooth and once you know how operate it with your iPad it will effectively turn it into a laptop. Best decision i ever made.
