Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had wanted one of these for a long time but always held off because of the price. The thing that bugged me, of all the silly things to be annoyed by, was the fact that there wasn’t a distinct design for the iPad Air – we were meant to buy the one for the iPad Pro, which left a large square hole for the camera plateau which doesn’t exist. I was happy to see that a newer version had been released for the M3 which, from everything I can see, is the same as the M2 like mine. It fits great, attaches strongly, and generally has a very good typing feel. Much better than the Keyboard Folio I had considered. However, there is still one quirk which I only recently noticed… Apple’s odd choice of key sizes (see photo). And of course, there will be complaints about the lack of a backlight for said keyboard, but I think that’s an acceptable omission for a keyboard powered by the iPad itself. I am noticing a slightly higher battery draw using the keyboard, but I think it’s worth the effort if you’re looking for a touchscreen on a netbook-like experience. In fact, the spacing feels very much like my old HP Mini 210. There are a few glitches here and there, probably related more with web apps than dedicated iOS apps (you may notice the inability to backspace from time to time, or an annoying auto-capitalization glitch that I’ve noticed on iOS 26 early on, especially while typing in Safari or Chrome) but overall, for an ultra-compact laptop experience it’s much handier to whip this out than even my 13” Macbook Air. Trackpad, aside from the size, is just as responsive as any Apple trackpad you’ll find. Just beware, the price puts it out of reach for most casual users, especially if you’re in the iPad Air price-point budget. This was more of a necessity for me than a desire, though, so I’m convincing myself that it was worth what I paid. And that isn’t really hard to do once you get going with it.

Got this open-box and it honestly feels brand new. I use it daily for work, and both the iPad and keyboard perform perfectly with no issues. Smooth, reliable, and the battery holds up well. Great value for the price—definitely recommend.

The Apple Magic Keyboard I purchased from Best Buy has far exceeded my expectations. From the secure magnetic fit and clasp to the tilting mechanism of the keyboard. My favorite part though is the response when typing and using mouse pad. Very responsive and accurate.

I replaced my laptop with my iPad and Magic Keyboard. Best move ever. Super easy to travel with. Small and compact.

Excellent product. Meets and exceeds expectations.

Only complaint is I wish the keys would light up at nighttime

So glad I got the Apple and not a different brand. The only drawback is that it doesn’t have a lighted keyboard, but it’s not a dealbreaker. If you’re someone like me who uses it at night with the lights low, you can tilt the screen a little to get light if you need to.

It’s very comfortable, I love it, the black color looks very elegant

I'm very happy with the iPad. I always buy my devices from Best Buys; this is a well-deserved reward. Thank you for the $400.

I honestly didn’t expect a keyboard to change how much I use my iPad, but this one did. The Magic Keyboard makes the iPad Air feel like a small laptop — I now reach for it instead of my computer for emails, notes, and even longer work sessions. Typing feels really natural. The keys have a nice amount of travel and don’t feel cramped, and the backlight is great at night. The trackpad was the biggest surprise it’s smooth, accurate, and gestures work exactly how you expect, so navigating apps feels effortless. The magnetic attachment is strong and lines up perfectly every time, and I love the floating design because I can adjust the screen angle easily depending on where I’m sitting. The extra USB-C charging port is also super convenient since it keeps the iPad’s main port free. Yes, it’s expensive but after using it daily, I understand why. It genuinely turns the iPad into a productivity device rather than just a tablet. If you plan to type a lot or want a laptop-like experience without carrying a laptop, this is absolutely worth it.

I purchased the Magic Keyboard primarily to fill out a bunch of forms. It worked very well and also adds a lot of the functions that are found on my MacBook keyboard. Much easier than typing on the display. It does add some weight to the iPad but i can still use it on my lap. It easily comes off of the iPad if I want it to.

I wasn't sure I needed the Magic Keyboard when I got my M4 iPad Air 256. It was quite a bit more than the basic cover (which I felt I did need), and also more expensive than comparable keyboard cases... but wow, this keyboard is great for typing. I can't imagine composing and email or working on a Word/Excel doc using just my thumbs to type. The trackpad is amazing, and the quick keys are especially helpful. While it's more than some would like to spend, I definitely feel it was worth it!

Great product! Love that I can use for school and work while on the road and away from home. However disappointed that this one did not include the feature of having the keyboard light up.

This was an upgrade from an iPad Air 3. The new iPad is so much quicker and handles ios26 so much better. It took awhile to get used to the lack of a home button. The new “foilo” is quite different from the old one. This one rigid and has a much improved keypad, much easier to use from your lap. It is much heavier and will take some getting used to but this upgrade was well worth it.

Fantastic product and service was outstanding. New features and easier to use.

So convenient for anything and everything on an iPad, works great for school and personal use. Works as a case also. Love the size and design.

Nice for the new iPad Air M4. Added a top row of function keys from the previous keyboard I had with my iPad Air 5th generation. The old keyboard will still work, I believe. The old has backlit keys. This one does not, and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It is overwhelming pricey, but OEM and made to work perfectly

Works like new, nice, it saves money , it user friendly

Purchased both the M3 11” iPad and Magic Keyboard to use mostly as a replacement for a laptop. It helps that I have smaller hands so the keyboard size isn’t an issue at all. But for day to day laptop replacement, it’s great - instant on capability, mouse and pointer use is great in iOS 26, and the App Store is there for just about anything you need. If you need specialized software this won’t work to replace a laptop, some of the OS limitations make some things more cumbersome on this device compared to a desktop OS, and the keyboards lack of backlight is disappointing. But overall I love this setup over a Windows laptop for day to day computing needs.

Much better than a generic keyboard since it is lighter and functions faster
