The Magic Keyboard for the 11-inch model is unchanged and is compatible with both the 2020 and 2021 ‌iPad Pro‌ models, but that's not the case for the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ models. The keys themselves have rounded edges. They aren't sharp like the iMac's Magic Keyboard, but also not as soft as the Smart Keyboard for iPad. The keys have just the slightest bit of a concave curve. It's almost unnoticeable, but you can feel the curve if you run your finger across the keys. The Magic Keyboard is compatible with any 12.9-inch iPad Pro model after the 3rd generation model, which includes the latest iPad Pro M2 2022. There’s also a version for all the iterations of the 11-inch iPad Pro, and the 4th and 5th gen of iPad Air. The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air and iPad (10th generation) screens are 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches. Actual viewable area is less. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro actually wins a lot of points for its thinness. It's significantly thinner than most keyboard cases I've used. Not thinner than the Smart Keyboard case, of course, but much thinner than the Brydge Pro+.

Magic Keyboard is sold separately. Compatible with iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation or later), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later), and iPad Air (4th generation or later).

The first Magic Keyboard was released for the 2020 ‌iPad Pro‌ models in March of 2020, and a second-generation version came out in April 2021. Overall, it has held up quite well, all things considered. Since it is made with a soft-touch silicone material, it can get scuffed up a little easier, but it's easy to wipe it away when necessary. As long as you take care of it and store it properly when not in use, the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard will still look decent, even a year later. Mine has mostly been stowed away in the box since I actually prefer the Logitech Folio Touch as my daily iPad Pro keyboard case, but I did use the Magic Keyboard regularly before getting that one. It has been through multiple bags and carried around by hand, and still looks good. There may be a few visible scuffs and marks here and there, but my iPad Pro itself is still in pristine condition. The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPadPro 12.9″ screen is 32.77cm (12.9″), the iPadPro 11″ screen is 27.96cm (11″), theiPadAir and iPad (10thgeneration) screens are 27.58cm (10.86″), and the iPadmini screen is 21.08cm (8.3″). Actual viewable area isless.

I would like to tell you that it's the best keyboard case ever made for the iPad Pro and you should throw all your other keyboards away, but at this price, I think it's more of an Apple fan's luxury buy than any true reason you shouldn't ever try any other keyboard case. The Magic Keyboard Folio, on the other hand, simply comes in a White colourway. While we do not have a dedicated review for this Keyboard, we do have a lot of experience using it alongside the latest iPad 10th-generation, which will help to inform this versus.

The magnets are very strong, which means you'll need to use two hands to remove it from the mount. Or really, one finger resting on the keyboard while the other removes the iPad from the mount.

The Magic Keyboard is a full-size keyboard that uses the same scissor switch mechanism that Apple first implemented in the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro and the 2020 ‌MacBook Air‌. Moving away from angling and into hovering, I really like the way the iPad hovers over the keyboard. I don't think Apple could have made the keyboard as roomy if it weren't for the fact that the iPad is up and out of the way.

Of course, Apple’s own apps are optimized for the Magic Keyboard, as they were for the Smart Keyboard Cover, but have other major word processors caught up? Well, Word and Google Docs both haven’t optimized for Apple’s smarter cursor, that snaps to objects and adjusts from a dot to a cursor when you move to a text field.Combined, that's just about three pounds, which is heavier than a ‌MacBook Air‌ and close to the weight of a 13-inch MacBook Pro. But it's a 2 lb accessory and a bit chunky. Biggest negative to me is that it is a Bluetooth accessory, not a Smart Connector accessory. That means you have to be mindful of charging, and probably Bluetooth connection issues. I am very aware of why Apple didn't include a row of function keys with the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. It just wouldn't have fit. The overall experience would have been full-time poorer as opposed to only been poorer once in a while when you want to use function keys. Scissor switches are more reliable than the butterfly switches that Apple was using in prior keyboards, with the butterfly switches prone to failure due to dust and other small particulates. The scissor switch keyboard can be seen in this x-ray of the Magic Keyboard shared by iFixit. The Magic Keyboard is similar in design to Apple's prior ‌Smart Keyboard‌ Folio for the ‌iPad Pro‌, but there are some unique design elements worth noting.
