“This is compatible with prior generations of 11" iPad Airs, it omits the 1st generation 11" iPad Pro which uses the same physical connector and has an identical camera setup to the 11" iPad Air. Is this compatible with the 1st generation 11" iPad Pro?”

I tested it with a demo unit of this keyboard in store and the iPad Pro 11” (first generation) functioned completely with this new keyboard. It will not work with later iPad Pro 11” models because the camera setup is larger and won’t fit the smaller cutout of this keyboard, but the 1st generation iPad Pro 11” only had a single camera, so this one appears to be the exception. For those considering this keyboard or the original Magic Keyboard for iPad there are some trade offs: The original keyboard has backlit keys (this newer keyboard does not light up) and is available in white or black (new keyboard is only available in white), however the new keyboard has a function key row (that is functional on the old iPad Pro) and has the new design for the USB-C port. It also correctly charges the old iPad Pro.
