Do you want a laptop but with the portability and light weight function of an iPad. That's basically what the magic keyboard does. It attaches so easily with the magnetic cover and makes the iPad basically a small portable laptop. It's fantastic!! I hate typing on tablet keyboards, I find it slow and tedious. A keyboard with a mouse trackpad is an absolute gamechanger. And it easily travels with the iPad as it closes like a case instead of a Bluetooth keyboard that you would need to carry around as well. The magic keyboard is absolutely worth the money if you have an iPad.

So far I love it. I absolutely love having a keyboard. Did not know if I would like it but it is so much nicer and easier to use. I am glad the nice young man showed me this option.

First, the cost, yes this is absurdly expensive, especially considering that you can get an x64 or x86 2-in-1 Chrome book for the price of the keyboard by itself. I’ve had a number of them and even the Surface Pro, which is arguably the best, is still a mediocre laptop and terrible tablet when it comes down to it, and its just a fact of engineering. x64 chips need cooling and chew through battery like crazy. Increasing battery and cooling takes up space and makes for a laptop that thermal throttles and a tablet that’s too big and unwieldy to serve the function of a tablet. This keyboard finally makes the ipad Pro a serious contender in terms of ARM based options so you get all the portability and battery life of a proper tablet while finally getting access to more capable apps. I’ve transitioned a lot of my work to the ipad over the last couple of years. Presentations, word processing, drawing mockups and even editing short videos and rough cuts are not only possible but add capability that wasn’t as feasible on a full size laptop. White board demos and drawing is just incredibly easy when presenting from an ipad. The major drawbacks were A, the keyboard and B the lack of a power + HDMI out. I got an adapter that solved the second issue but it’s great that this keyboard now has a separate power input. None of my older keyboards came close to matching this though, and I have going through a half-dozen logitech keyboards and Apple’s own keyfolio which was better than the logitech boards but annoying due to the limited positions. I was commuting back and forth to Asia 4 times per year and trying to get anything done on a 15 inch laptop in a cramped little coach seat is a hassle, but trying to type on an unlit keyboard in a darkened plane was also a hassle. This keyboard has really brought the ipad pro into its own as a proper laptop replacement now and the typing experience with it has made my 11 inch ipad pro comparable to my 16” macbook in terms of typing comfort and speed. The trackpad helps a ton when working in graphic apps and video editing, anything that requires a bit more precision than a touch interface and my fat finger allows, so I’ve got the best of both worlds in terms of pen and mouse input now. It’s kind of crazy how smooth 4k editing is on an ipad compared to a full size laptop now too now that I have a trackpad and proper keyboard. I think the bottom line for me is whether I would recommend it over my XPS 15, and yes, absolutely 100% unequivocally yes. Even without this keyboard the ipad pro did more, more reliably and in a more comfortable form factor, with better battery life than the XPS did. Can I do a lot of complex video editing on it? No, but in fairness, even though the software runs on the XPS it wasn’t a terribly capable video editor either and with the fan noise as soon as premiere opened, it wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience. For the kind of heavy lifting that you would want a more powerful machine to do, you may as well get a desktop. An ipad pro still isn’t going to fulfill every need for me. It isn’t going to run Houdini and Premiere and After Effects, but it has finally made the laptop an unnecessary intermediary between my 24 core workstation and my portable every day kit and for day-to-day office work it’s much better than a laptop.

Does not work. Is very heavy. Like my old apple key board much better

Probably the best keyboard I’ve ever gotten. The Magic Keyboard automatically connects so I don’t ever have to worry about reconnecting/ a lag on the keys. Been a game changer for using my iPad and has basically turned my iPad into a laptop that is just so much easier to carry around. A bit on the expensive side, but I think it’s well worth it.

Overpriced n equally matched less expensive options are out thrre

I returned in store along with Defective iPad and I was not refunded for the keyboard

I love my new mac pro geek squad recommendation was spot on they help me threw all my questions because i never had a mac laptop and i could not be more happier with it thankyou to geek squad...

The only con I have about this device is the lack of option keys. I think it would have been nice to either include the option key row or allow you to schedule your own shortcut keys. What I love about the case is of course the typing experience. Before buying this I was one of those people who did not see the benefit or the added functionality the case would add to the iPad. The functionality this case does offer is the best typing experience for the iPad. If you are someone who is going to be using the iPad for note-taking, this is the case for you. Other competitor brands try to mimic the experience from this accessory, but they don't even come close. The trackpad on the case works as advertised, but it's smaller than what is offered on the MacBook lineup. If you are someone though who is migrating from the Microsoft Surface Lineup, then this TracPad will not feel that different. Where the TracPad is different though is the consistent experience. I use to say that the Apple pencil is the accessory to have with the iPad, and it still is even if your not an artist. The Magic Keyboard case is an extremely close second. The only reason I purchase one is that I found a great price on one through a competitor. This would be the only way I would recommend the accessory, is purchase the Magic Keyboard case on sale, do not pay full price. Otherwise, the accessory is not worth it.

It is, like all Apple products, well made and mostly easy to use. However, the documentation is virtually non-existant about how to use it, how to even turn it on and off. It is a cross between a cell phone and a laptop. A cell phone stays on all the time, a laptop need not. Which is it?

Works perfectly with the Ipad Air 5th generation. It looks nice and the angle for viewing the screen is very easy on the eyes. The keyboard, of course is small, but I like have a physical keyboard. The protection it provides it very sufficient for my needs.

Great beginner tablet for my high school student who uses it for school.

The iPad keyboard is very user friendly and great addition to the iPad Pro. Best Buy salesmen were very helpful with our purchase. Wishing iPad could be turned to use portrait style with keyboard.

This is the best thing since slice bread. Lol I love this keyboard because for one out doesn’t require charging. Second the keyboard typing is easy on the fingers.

A great fit. It protects the iPad. It makes the iPad very flexible on day to day basis in my design business. Intuitive to use. Easy to remove when the keyboard and protection are not required. My kind of accessory!

Nice, sleek design and easy to use. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to simplify their iPad experience.

Very good, I bought it for my daughter and I have had very good benefits, she uses it very skillfully.

I really want to like this overpriced keyboard/iPad stand. It’s well-built, the tactile feel of the keys is just rights, and it’s way better for typing than direct input on the iPad’s on-screen keyboard. It has one major flaw, however. The tilt adjustment does not let me put the screen angle in the best position for my height. I am an average height male - 5’11” - and I cannot tilt the iPad back far enough to make it comfortable. This when the device is sitting on a table. On my lap it’s a balancing act. For $300, it seems way overpriced. Sure, it’s designed by Apple to complement the look and feel of the sleek new iPad Pro. But for the money, it should accommodate all users, not just those under 5’8” tall. I feel like I’m craning my neck every time I sit down to type. Disappointing.

Much better than typing on the actual iPad itself. My only issue is minor. I wish there was something to help hold the Apple Pencil in place during transport. Overall, nice keyboard, overpriced though IMO

This is a must have for any iPad. The keyboard is lighted keys feel ergonomically correct with accurate and consistent function. The multi position of the iPad gives options for view based on location of user. Just a great designed and quality product. A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for!
