Game changer keyboard!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Apple Magic Keyboard is a total game-changer for the iPad Pro—easily one of the best accessories Apple has ever made. It doesn’t just enhance the iPad experience; it transforms it completely into a sleek, powerful, laptop-like workstation. First of all, the build quality is classic Apple: sturdy, elegant, and minimalist. The floating cantilever design is not just beautiful—it’s incredibly functional. It magnetically snaps the iPad into place and lets you adjust the viewing angle effortlessly. It feels premium, solid, and futuristic all at once. Typing on it is a dream. The backlit keys are responsive, quiet, and perfectly spaced, making long work sessions a breeze. You almost forget you’re on a tablet because the typing experience rivals many high-end laptops. And the trackpad? Smooth, precise, and perfectly integrated with iPadOS. Multi-touch gestures feel natural and fluid, and it adds a whole new layer of productivity. Scrolling, selecting, editing—it all just works. The USB-C passthrough port is a thoughtful touch that keeps your iPad charging while keeping the main port free for accessories. It’s those little details that make this keyboard such a powerful companion. Bottom line: If you’re serious about using your iPad Pro for work, creativity, or multitasking, the Magic Keyboard is worth every cent. It elevates the iPad to a whole new level of function and polish. You’ll wonder how you ever used your iPad without it.

perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the grey version. I love the typing feel on this keyboard. Very crisp and clicky keys, good travel. It is very sturdy, holds the iPad in place stiffly, definitely high-quality, as expected from Apple. I really like the floating design and that it brings the iPad closer to your face. A couple of things I would like would be the ability to tilt back just a little more, as well as function keys as other keyboards have. However, there are command functions you can use in the place of that once you learn them. Also appreciate the pass-through charging. Overall, a great accessory!

New iPad Pro Experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding keyboard accessory for the iPad Pro that has increased my productivity with this device due to it’s build quality, excellent keyboard, and exceptional portability. The update of iPad OS and the trackpad on the Magic Keyboard have been an excellent addition to my workflow and what I use the iPad Pro for. Is it pricey? A bit, I would to see this more price competitive, but is it worth the investment? I absolutely believe so , it had changed how I use my iPad Pro, the experience of using my iPad Pro, and certainly had contributed to increased productivity and has added a welcome addition to being portable or stationary when docking my iPad Pro to the Magic Keyboard.

Buy it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hesitated purchasing this; mainly because of the price. I bought it and left it in the box, unopened for at least a week; thinking I should return it. LOL But then I decided I really needed to give it a chance. I am so glad I purchased this keyboard. It works seamlessly, right out the box. It doesn’t need batteries and it does not need to be charged. It also turns my iPad Pro into a laptop. It has increased my productivity and it is so easy to use. As a bonus, it makes responding to texts a breeze. I just type and hit send. Love it! The only downside, is that it is a little heavy; make carrying it in a purse uncomfortable.

Sleek but versatile. Light but firm.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I was considering if/what version of the iPad Pro I was going to get - i weighed the following specs before I pulled the trigger (see below). However, prior to that discussion, let’s first understand my intended, specific use cases - as this likely varies significantly person-to-person and ultimately should drive which version you choose. —MY USE CASES— (1) Writing & (2) Illustration —SPECS I CONSIDERED— (1) WEIGHT — (how much does the larger screen size and/or adding the magic keyboard effect the usability?) (2) SCREEN SIZE — (Do I need the additional screen size to draw larger illustrations or work more effectively?) (3) STORAGE — (How much space do I REALLY need for my workflow? & What are my options for extended/portable storage?) -WEIGHT &SCREEN SIZE- At first I was heavily leaning towards the 12.9” iPad Pro as I was Thinking that the larger screen size would allow for easier and more effective illustration due to the larger “canvas” to work with. However, upon holding the 12.9” with the magic keyboard I was shocked at how HEAVY it felt. Considering the additional $300 for the larger screen I figured I’d opt for the 11 inch and test it out for a few weeks and reevaluate. That turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Even with the magic keyboard attached the 11” iPad Pro is light weight and extremely versatile. I feel that the 11 inch with the magic keyboard strikes the perfect balance as I can work and draw with it, holding it in my hands, on my lap, etc and only after hours do I start to notice the weight. If it were the 12.9” that could quickly become cumbersome. Additionally, with the Apple silicon M1 chip The screen is extremely snappy and can zoom in very close for illustration purposes. In my opinion this negates the need for the larger screen. You can choose a canvas size that’s larger than the screen of the iPad and zoom in and out to draw, as necessary. Lastly the build quality of the magic keyboard is nothing short of excellent. I can hold it by the corner with the iPad attached and the magic keyboard open and it does not bend, and does not feel like it’s going to break. If you are a writer or simply want a fantastic keyboard to go along with your iPad I would highly recommend grabbing the magic keyboard. -STORAGE- worh the USB-C port on the magic keyboard and one on the iPad itself, it was an easy decision for me to go with the 128GB version. SS drives and HD drives have come down in price drastically over the past few years and will continue to drop - therefore I saw higher value in purchasing storage as I needed , versus paying upfront to get it locked into the iPad.

Is it worth the money?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I decided to bite the bullet and give this keyboard a try. However, after only a few days of use, I found that there were a few issues that I had with it. First of all, the price point is just very high. Which is more of the familiar arguments that you hear about this product. But when you can buy a logitech keyboard that does the same thing for almost half the price it’s hard to debate. And second, the weight. Combined with the weight of the iPad it gives a significant amount of weight to have to carry around. Along with that, it is very easy to damage because of the material it’s made of. You would almost want to have a case for the case just to keep it in decent shape. To his credit however, it integrates almost seamlessly with the iPad, and if used often could be a great help In getting work done. As long as you can overcome the aforementioned problems. All in all however, I had to make the decision that it was not worth my money.

Oh oh, it’s magic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Nice upgrade from the apple folio
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I just received this yesterday. Upgrading from my apple keyboard folio. Pros: Backlight keys- great when working in low light areas and don't want to turn on bright lights Keys- feel much more like a real keyboard and less like the awful butterfly keys of recent MacBooks. Build- Feels very sturdy, does not lean/tip back which is nice. Things that could be changed: The angle for some will be an issue, for what I do it is fine but I could see some not liking the angles it bends. Weight- It is definitely heavy, although when sitting it down and using it the weight kind of goes away. If you carry it around all day maybe that would be an issue for you. Again YYMV. Price- Expensive, but it is apple, what else is new? lol Overall I am enjoying it so far and definitely recommend.

Best Keyboard for iPad if you can afford it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I’ve been on the market for a new keyboard for my iPad. I actually used a Zagg one before getting this one but I had been hesitant since this keyboard came out and only because a) it was kind of pricy for what it is and b) it offers no protection. Anyhow, it finally went on SALE on Labor Day and Best Buy knocked out $50 off of it. I was looking for a new keyboard because my ZAGG one was already giving out. And truth be told, this is probably the best keyboard I could have bought for my iPad. It’s so smooth, just like typing on my MacBook and since I used my iPad a lot for work, it’s important that the key feedback feel reliable especially since I type a lot on my iPad. It’s so easy to use. I do have really only two concerns for this keyboard. 2) price. I could have easily bought a zagg one which cost almost half and it would have worked just as well. However, what I don’t like about those keyboards is the hassle of constantly having to pair them with your iPad or the lag whenever you’re typing stuff. Plus the keyboard themselves feel cheap. This feels very premium. It feels like I’m typing on my MacBook. I don’t blame if this is a deciding factor because it was for me. 2) Protection: This keyboard offers no protection for your iPad. I was a little concern about this as well but because I usually store this in my work bag, it’s not as bad. I’ve come to the conclusion my bag will protect it. And also this may be another deciding factor for some people: 3) weight. It does make your already heavy iPad heavier. It feels a bit heavier than my old zagg keyboard. Also, battery tends to drain a little faster on my iPad I noticed. I used to be able to go about 2 days not charging my iPad and I’m noticing now that I do have to charge it every night. I mean, I don’t mind. I was used to charging it every night however to some people this may be a deciding factor. Overall still recommend because apple is apple and one thing they’re very good at is making high quality products that just work seamlessly.

Great keyboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had mine for years and gifted this one to my hubby. I love it. It is backlit, needs just the right amount of pressure to press the keys, and the keys are in a good position for my hands. I very seldom use the track pad, but it’s nice to know it’s available. it has also done a great job protecting my iPad from accidental drops or chips.

Excellent but expensive
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Air 5th Gen is undeniably impressive in its functionality and design. Its sleek and minimalistic aesthetic seamlessly transforms your iPad Air into a laptop-like experience. The backlit keys are responsive and provide a comfortable typing experience, while the trackpad integration enhances productivity by allowing precise cursor control. The floating design, which enables smooth adjustments of viewing angles, adds to its versatility. However, it is WAY too expensive for what it is.

top tier unnecessary but useful tool.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a 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.

Pretty sure it’s actually magic
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome keyboard! The name is perfect, little bugger IS magic. Lightweight,sturdy,and gorgeous.surprisingly professional quality for something called an iPad “accessory”. Fully backlit keys, and a true scissor mechanism make it a genuine pro level accessory.additionally, it folds neatly around the iPad Pro to create a protective case. It’s pricey. Added to the cost of my iPad Pro/Apple Pencil,i almost could have gotten a MacBook. In retrospect, I kind of did, and the keyboard is worth every freaking penny of it’s purchase cost.best gadget I own beside the iPad Pro.

Better than the rest— this thing just works!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This keyboard case is amazing. I had doubts, because of the price. Is it really worth that much money?? It is. I bought a simple case as well thinking I would switch between them. So far, I haven’t taken this one off! It’s the perfect case to make your iPad feel like a laptop. It’s also great for travel. With an iPad Pro, it’s not light in weight but you get the best of both worlds. A great keyboard case and the mobility to disconnect the iPad if needed. I tried a cheap one on Amazon and after trying this one, I quickly returned the other! I would love to see some functions keys and an escape key, but other than that this thing rocks. I bought open box too and it was in perfect condition. If you have doubts, go for it. It’s expensive, yes, but you won’t regret it.

Excellent keyboard for an IPad Pro
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent keyboard. The typing experience is amazing, the backlighting is useful, and its atheistic is on point. The keyboard is expensive though and you can’t use the tablet in portrait mode. The magnets are strong and its easy to take the tablet on and off. I’m actually typing this review on the keyboard. I’ve read reviews/complaints of the outside material and how it gets damaged easily. I have not had any issues so far, though, I haven’t left the house with the keyboard.

New Apple /New Keyboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a big shift from the Apple keyboards though, since it includes a trackpad and cursor support. When closed, the Apple Magic keyboard looks similar to the Smart Keyboard Folio. Open it up and the differences couldn’t be clearer. The Magic Keyboard is more like a laptop-style dock than a keyboard case. This sets it apart from the other keyboards. The cantilever hinge is the best think Apple could have ever came up with for their Keyboard. When you initially open the iPad, the first hinge opens. It locks in place at an angle less than 90 degrees, keeping the iPad balanced while the second hinge takes over. With that second hinge, you are able to adjust it to any angle up to around 130 degrees. The hinge is stiff enough to keep the iPad where you put it. You get a slightly wider range on the 12.9-inch version, but they are both similar to the range of a MacBook hinge. It’s a welcome improvement from the two static positions you get with the Smart Keyboard Folio. Besides the addition of the trackpad, the iPad’s Magic keyboard uses scissor switches like the desktop and laptop Magic keyboards. The keys feel great, and they’re backlit. The trackpad is a bit on the small side, especially when compared to the monster-sized trackpads in recent MacBook's. Like every trackpad Apple makes, it’s excellent. Perhaps my favorite part about the Magic Keyboard is the way the iPad attaches to it magnetically. The magnets are strong, but it’s easy to pop the iPad on and off. You never have to worry about charging or pairing thanks to the Smart connector. One downside is physics. The iPad is heavy, and the Magic keyboard needs to weigh as much as the iPad to be balanced. And combined, they push into MacBook territory. Excellent choice if you're going to buy a New Keyboard.

Cool and functional utility.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cool look and excellent keyboard w/mouse. Like the size and keyboard action. Trackpad works great! Like the ease of mounting and un-mounting the iPad from the keyboard; and like that the keyboard is powered by the iPad so there is only one power cord. My two issues are can’t flatten out the keyboard case to get a flat, table-top writing experience; and of course the price/value. Yes, it’s great, but it’s also expensive. The first issue is tolerable because mounting and un-mounting is so easy, effortless really. The second issues, the price, well I bought it and enjoy it. Still pretty expensive, ugh. You will enjoy this keyboard, especially if you don’t think out out how much it cost!
