Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent case &’keyboard, really facilitates use of iPad.

First, the quality is on par with what you’d expect from an Apple product. The outside has a rubberized finish that is pleasant to hold. There’s a felt finish where the iPad would lay. The back-lit keyboard is very sturdy without flexing points. It is decent in size and the keys are well spaced. The keys provide surprisingly satisfying clicks with enough travel. The smallish trackpad is highly responsive, and you can click everywhere on it. You can also change it to tapping through options, which I like better. The MK also features a pass-through USB-C port to keep the iPad charged while in use, freeing up the device’s USB-C port. While convenient, sadly it does not allow for data or video connectivity. As a case, I am not as impressed. It adds more than double the weight to the iPad, which sometimes I like as this makes it feel like a quality product, but also makes it heavier than my notebook laptop. While the case may protect the back and screen, the sides are completely exposed, so I would be very careful in where and how I carry my device. I also find it impractical that in order to use the iPad as a tablet comfortably, I must take it out of the case. This can be quite cumbersome if you are standing or walking around since now you either must hold the device with the case awkwardly or find somewhere to place it. It makes the MK feel more like an accessory at this point. Lately, I am using it more as some sort of docking station at home as I keep it plugged into an outlet. As far as functionality, the Magic Keyboard certainly adds quite a bit but leaves a lot of room for improvement. The design is unique in that it makes the iPad appear as if it is floating, making the screen “pop out” at you, which is rather cool. You just want to reach out and touch it (defeating some of the keyboard’s purpose?). iPad OS, with its PC-like multitasking environment, provides a good reason to have a keyboard and trackpad adding value to the combo. Does it make it a laptop? Yes, sort of. When typing and using the trackpad, with gestures and all, it definitely feels like it all comes together quite nicely -especially when doing productivity work. It just flows. However, I could not help but feel like I was severely missing the multi-function keys. Sure, I had to memorize the key-commands or remap them, but doing things like adjusting brightness, volume, and some apps being clunky such as video editing require reaching out to the screen, and I found myself doing that quite a lot -regardless of the trackpad’s being there. In contrast, I never feel the need to reach out to my laptop’s touchscreen. Extending on the laptop comparison, I found it cumbersome to use it on my lap when relaxing on the couch. The screen only tilts to a certain degree, and sadly it’s not that much. This becomes more apparent when trying to use the Apple Pencil as it is not stable at all, even when trying it in tabletop mode. I found it easier to simply take it off and use the MK as a coaster whenever I wanted to take notes or sketch. Again, is my iPad a laptop now? Not really. But is it a better iPad? That’s for sure! The Magic Keyboard simply is the ultimate compliment to a compatible iPad. However, I still feel like there will (or should be) a better-designed keyboard/case from a competitor (or Apple) at a much better value. As it stands, it is hard to justify the price tag -unless you are dependent on the iPad as your main source of productivity.

this is AMAZING if u type a lot on ur ipad however i dont rlly use it that much bc i mostly use my pen and just draw on my ipad. but great quality and works amazing.

Listen, this is the best keyboard ever. Hands down, I am a very happy customer. Thank you, thank you to the employee that highly recommended this keyboard.

Bought this along with the IPad Pro 11’. The product is well designed and makes the IPad feel a bit more like an actual laptop. The design and the quality of the components of the product are top quality. Kudos to the apple engineers who designed and developed the magic keyboard. My only complaint is the price tag of the product. With a $300 price tag for the 11’ and the $100+ for the pen, yes you are paying for quality and design, but it doesn’t blunt the fact that you have to spend another $500 to get the full functionality of the IPad.

Click and go! Wow! This is literally the easiest keyboard to use. When you line your iPad up with the magnetic panel, it snaps itself right in and is instantly ready to go to work. I love the backlit keys that seem to know exactly when you need them, too. Very convenient addition, as well as the trackpad that allows you to make your selection from anywhere on it- not just the bottom “strip” section. I also like the added USB-C charging port on the left side hinge for charging while working in an area where plugging directly into the iPad itself would be awkward on the right. This would be absolutely 5-star perfect IF: 1. It didn’t drain the iPad battery so quickly and had a power source of its own. 2. It had function keys (seriously guys, where are they?) 3. It was more versatile for angles- it is a pain to write on with your stylus. It would be awesome even if it just allowed to fold all the way flat like an open trapper keeper. 4. It had a way to *securely* hold the Apple Pencil. This is the most egregious shortcoming on something this pricey. At $129 retail for that little tool, you don’t want to risk breaking it or losing it when it inevitably is knocked from the magnetic charging area. To be honest, while this keyboard is way cool, I would NOT recommend it for the retail price that it is selling for. I received such a great deal on mine that it should be a crime, and that is why I bought it. I DO love it and use it every day, but if the above 4 issues were remedied then it would be worth what Apple is asking. … and THAT is my honest review.

the keys are amazing. better then most keyboards I have used before. the price is very steep but its not Bluetooth so there is zero delay in anything and you don't need to worry about a lot of the things that come with off brand products. I would recommend getting a decal to cover the top and bottom if you plan on longtime use and use outside of your home, it tends to scuff easy and because its apple, its tough to clean. DeBrand has some good ones, I use the lavender pastel skin. works great.

It’s easy to carry it with you anywhere. And it gives protection for the iPad. It saves you time for typing.

So helpful! Doubles as a keyboard and a case for my iPad. Easy to connect and detach. I absolutely love the light on the keyboard so I can see the what I am typing. It makes it easier for me to see with my bad eyesight and when I need to do some work at night or in dark places (like airplanes) I am able to do so without any interruption to others.

Great keyboard. Well made, rugged, excellent keyboard, and the trackpad is nice. Keys are backlit as well. Wish it had a function key row though as my previous keyboard had that and I miss that. The tablet is magnetically attached which is nice that you can easily remove it, but I find I need to be careful since I’ve almost had it slip off a couple times when opening it. It is kinda heavy but that doesn’t bother me. I prefer having the solid construction with added weight that this keyboard has over something lighter that is flimsy.

elegant, sturdy and functional. Sleek design a little heavy. love how it suspends in the air and the back lit keyboard.

I love this keyboard. It works perfection with my iPad Pro. Great design and protection too.

Solid keyboard, amazing trackpad, back lit, great for typing, with extra USB C port. Gives iPad real laptop performance.

Great product—connects super fast to the iPad, has excellent features, and turns the iPad into a computer.

I am primarily a Mac user. I looked at my iPad as not much more than a book reader (in the likes of a Kindle but much nicer) and a toy. There was no way I was going to use it to do every day tasks. A lot has changed in the week since I purchased the Magic Keyboard. Though there are some tasks that require my Mac, lots of things are now being done on my iPad. Things that I would not have considered before the addition of the Magic Keyboard. My iPad now goes with me wherever I go (no ways I was going to carry either one of my Macs with me). My only complaint is that it (the keyboard) is hard to keep clean. To fix this issue, I put a beautiful SopiGuard skin on the “body” and added an Uppercase GhostCover to protect and keep the keyboard clean. Problem solved. There are still some things I must get used to, but if I am loving it this much in just one week of use, I am sure I’ll figure those things out soon enough.

I love the design and the usage of the magic keyboard. It's a unique design with the Apple touch. I do miss the function keys, so that's a bit of a downside. The magnets hold the iPad strong and protective on the back and front (not much around the sides), but it's still good for many. Although, it's great for what it provides, but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative, I would go for the Logitech Keyboard.

I have had an iPad for years but this keyboard has transformed my new iPad to an invaluable device I carry with me everywhere. I love that it acts like a laptop when I want one, but it is so easy to just lift my iPad off and use it as a tablet any time I want the. Pop it back on and shut it up and go. It’s a case a keyboard a laptop. I was able to get an open box item at a reduced cost which was in perfect condition and I’m really glad I did.

Great cover. We'd tried a few other off brand ones and they just can't compare. Should have just spent that money on getting the best one from Apple at the start. It's expensive, but if you're looking for seamless connectivity and thoughtful design that will last, you can't go wrong with this cover.

After saving some money and getting a 10% off coupon, I made the jump and bought one of the new iPad Pros with the spectacular M1 chip. I have two (much) older iPads and had cheaper third party Bluetooth keyboards (ZAGG and Logitech). They worked decently for a while, but they eventually started falling apart. So after getting a top tier iPad Pro, I decided not to skimp and went for the first party Apple Smart Keyboard. It’s like night and day how well it works versus the third party stuff. It works like a champ and ability to adjust the tilt without worrying about if loosening is a great plus. I also like that it charges via USB-C like my iPad, and if the iPad is attached to this keyboard case, then I charge both simultaneously when plugging through the USB-C port on the keyboard (it will also charge the 2nd gen Apple Pencil if you have it magnetically attached to your iPad while everything is charging). I do wish that it had bumpers to better protect the edges and corners, but I’m far more cautious when I carry this thing versus my older iPads. It’s only been less than a year, so only time will tell how well this keyboard lasts. But so far, so good.

Seamless magic! Wireless keyboard works in perfect unison with Ipad Air tablet. Keyboard also acts as a solid case, amazing double functionality.
