Apple - Smart Keyboard for Apple® iPad®10.2" (7th Generation 2019), 10.5" iPad® Pro and iPad® Air

Love this keyboard! It works so well! 10/10 recommend!

There are a lot of options out there for Bluetooth keyboards for iPads. I’ve tried out a lot of them and they just don’t seem to work as well as I would like them to. When I got the Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, I wasn’t sure it would be worth the investment since it’s a bit pricier than other keyboards in the market. I’m glad that I was wrong. The Smart Keyboard is great for many reasons. First, it charges directly from its connection to the iPad Pro. This in itself is an amazing feature because I can plug the iPad in to charge and the keyboard gets charged, too. Second, the keys are butterfly keys, which means you make a stronger connection with a lighter tap and your fingers can actually travel faster than they can with other keyboards. I noticed this quite a bit when I switched from a 2014 MacBook Pro to the Smart Keyboard. I immediately thought that I was getting my work done faster and as it turns out, I was. Third, it doubles as a screen cover and stand for the iPad Pro. Even though there are other keyboard options out there, I don’t think any are as suited as the Smart Keyboard is for the iPad Pro.

I purchased a new iPad Pro 10.5", Apple Pencil, and Smart Keyboard at the same time in September 2017. The keyboard was starting to work intermittently over the last week or so, but now as of 04-23-19 it has completely failed. The biggest wear areas, on the keyboard seem to be at the flexible hinge. The magnets that click the iPad and the keyboard together seem to be still working correctly. But the 3 pin connector seems to have become faulty. Over the years of use I noticed how easy metal chips would get stuck to the magnet connector causing gouging to it on the keyboard along with damage to the iPad itself. BTW all my keys seem to function with no trouble until today. I hope this helps someone but I have say for an Apple product I am very disappointed. I cringe at the fact there isn't a lot of great options out there for a keyboard for the iPad Pro 10.5 without issues and will have to purchase another one that will have issues in less than 2 years. So I ask what does this do for the environment? Can it be recycled?

I had no idea it was going to be so versatile! It's futuristic in design. I'm an Avid typer, blogger, Admin of Pages and it magnetically connects right onto my ipad! I've noticed when I'm getting into chatting sharing blogging I get my work done fast and I have so much fun doing it! When they call last call wherever I'm at (mostly at home) all I have to do is turn that screen off AND MY KEYBOARD TURNS INTO A COVER THAT TURNS MY SCREEN OFF FOR ME!!!! I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD along with my Ipad in rose gold. I have the Apple Pencil as well! All I'm going to need for the next 5 plus years. Sink your teeth (not literally unless you want) into getting one of these cuz there will be days you just want to set it up at the table and type. I'm lovin it!

Nothing above and beyond here for an apple product. The keyboard itself is great, however, the limited versatility and lack of Apple Pencil carrier reflects seemingly thoughtless design. The material quality is comfortable, but lacks durability. I transport my iPad within a new North Face backpack with a fuzzy-lined pouch specifically designed for tablets. That being said, the side seam of the keyboard began fraying within about a week. After having used the smart keyboard for a few months, I would happily switch to an alternative 3rd-party iPad Pro keyboard given the chance/funds.

This keyboard is wonderfully light weight. It is a very comfortable and has all the keys in the right places. Hallelujah! You can probably tell by now that I’m a very happy customer.

My wife really needed to type on the iPad for work purposes so I bought this keypad for her and she loves it!

I waited too long to purchase this keyboard. Writing with the Apple Pencil and using speech to text is no match for the Apple keyboard. Easy to attached by magnet. Design is sleek and lightweight. Great product so far.
