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+. Added price and availability section with information about the 2nd-generation Magic Keyboard and new white color. Place your iPad on your Magic Keyboard. The rear lenses should be in the top left-hand corner, so they'll go through the cutout in your Magic Keyboard. Logitech has had to cut a few corners to produce a keyboard at this price. For instance, it doesn't have a rechargeable battery on most pricier wireless keyboards. However, Logitech promises that the included pair of AAA alkaline batteries will last up to two years before needing replacement. The modern round keys lean more toward form than function, which can take some time, especially when combined with the relatively narrow pitch.

The downside to the Magic Keyboard 2 is that it's not designed to travel with your iPad, but several iPad cases are also available designed to work with the Magic Keyboard 2. However, these generally provide room to store the keyboard and work as iPad stands rather than iPad cases, so while they're an excellent solution for use around the home or office, you'll probably still want to spring for an iPad keyboard case if you plan to use your tablet on the go. 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.You might need to use your on-screen keyboard instead of the Magic Keyboard to do things like type accented characters or use dictation. If having a great keyboard for your iPad is more important than portability, Apple's Magic Keyboard 2 is as powerful for iPad users as Mac users. After all, even though keyboards designed for the iPad have gotten pretty good, most still make compromises that keep them a notch below standalone keyboards. Since the iPad supports any Bluetooth keyboard, you don't have to limit yourself to those specifically made for the iPad. As far as typing with the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard a year later, I've grown accustomed to mechanical keyboards since, so even though the Magic Keyboard uses Apple's improved scissor switch mechanism, it's not what I personally prefer to use. However, if you aren't a fan of mechanical keyboards, then yes, Apple's scissor switch still feels excellent for what it's worth. In our iPad 2020 review, we described the Magic Keyboard as "a ‘proper’ typing experience that brings the iPad Pro even closer to a MacBook, and calls into question the degree to which Apple sees the iPad Pro as being distinct from the MacBook range." It draws its power from the iPad Pro itself, and there's no need to do anything other than plug it in. It's a reasonably minimalist keyboard design doesn't offer much protection beyond scratches. Still, since Apple doesn't need to worry about batteries or Bluetooth radios, it can make the keyboard thinner than most. It's slim enough to be used as a protective case without the bulk of most other iPad keyboards.

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. 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 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. Place your iPad on your Magic Keyboard. The rear lenses should be in the top left corner, so that they'll go through the cutout in your Magic Keyboard. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, however, has a maximum angle of 30 degrees, which is adjustable, but all adjustable angles are too inward to be useful to anyone. You can only angle downward from the open-most angle. No one uses an iPad at a 15-degree (toward the keyboard) angle. It's an over-designed idea. Bottom line: While you can get other keyboard cases for less, the Magic Keyboard is simply that — magical. It has a unique design and the keyboard itself feels excellent, even if it's missing some function keys. You can charge your iPad as usual by connectingyour USB-C cable to the USB-C port on your iPad. Or you can connect yourUSB-C cable to the USB-C port on your Magic Keyboard.Your Magic Keyboard doesn't need to be charged.

I'm not saying the unique angling isn't a good idea. It's certainly one of the best ideas I've seen for a keyboard case. I'm just saying I think it suffers from being overly designed. Place your Magic Keyboard on a flat surface with the hinge away from you and the Apple logo on top. The displays have rounded corners.
