As we are used to from Apple, the Magic Keyboard also has a slim design. Apple calls the case’s design “floating,” and we understand why. The iPad seems to float when attached to the keyboard! The case comes in white and black finishes, despite the buttons and trackpad, the case is incredibly thin.

So you can easily take your iPad with you anywhere in your pocket. The weight isn’t a problem either, as the lid only weighs 600 grams! Despite the light and thin design, your iPad is well protected. The case provides durable front and back protection.

Working with Magic Keyboard

Using the Magic Keyboard is almost as easy as using a MacBook. Simply place your iPad on the case and you’re good to go. Your iPad attaches magnetically to the keyboard, eliminating the need for switches, plugs, or ports. You can switch between two angles depending on what you’re doing and how you’re sitting.

It also folds easily, making it ideal for travel

The battery lasts for a whole working day, it is charged with the battery of the iPad. There’s also an additional USB-C charging point in the hinge of the cover on the side of the keyboard.

Another advantage of working with the iPad and the Keyboard is the selfie camera. The latest iPads come with a 1080p webcam. The webcams on most MacBooks, on the other hand, are (only) 720p.

The Magic Keyboard is compatible with the following iPad models:

Magic Keyboard 12.9-inch iPad Pro
5th generation
4th generation
3rd generation
Magic Keyboard 11-inch iPad Pro
3rd generation
2nd generation
1st gen
Magic Keyboard iPad Air
4th generation

Keyboard and Trackpad Magic Keyboard for iPad

The keyboard itself is very similar to that of the latest MacBooks, with a scissor mechanism and backlit keys.

These have a key travel of 1 mm. The term “key travel” represents the distance the key must travel before hitting the ground when pressed. A short key drop ensures a light keystroke. This makes the case nice and thin and fits easily in your pocket.

The Apple keyboard also has a built-in trackpad that gives you a whole new way to work in iPadOS. This built-in trackpad lets you work with a cursor in iPadOS.

This trackpad is designed for multi-touch movement

Meaning you can easily click, zoom, scroll, zoom in and out, rotate, etc. So you don’t really need a separate mouse. Prefer to work with a mouse? Then you can simply connect them to the iPad via Bluetooth. AppleMagic Mouses are also at SB Supplyavailable!

Is the iPad with Magic Keyboard a laptop replacement?

With the Keyboard for the iPad, Apple has developed a worthy workstation. This makes the iPad even more of a laptop replacement. But is this really a replacement for the MacBooks? First of all, the keyboard is typing almost the same as on the latest MacBooks and the trackpad also works smoothly.

The iPad along with the Magic Keyboard stands as one, although together they’re slightly heavier than a MacBook Air and just as heavy as a MacBook Pro. In addition, the Keyboard has fewer keys than a MacBook. Some function keys are missing, such as volume, brightness, play/pause, and the escape key. You can buy this at your nearby computer store.
