About this deal

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.

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. It's also worth adding that a real keyboard gives you an ESC key—valuable in many iOS apps but omitted from many iPad keyboards due to the need to fit more specialized function keys into a smaller space. The aluminum design also gives it a nice heft that keeps the iPad Pro and keyboard securely in place while you’re typing without needing a rear stand to prop up the iPad. This makes it one of the best keyboards for typing on your lap since it minimizes the surface area required to make it stand up. Apple's new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro is designed for those looking to turn their iPad Pro into a serious productivity tool. It's built from the ground up to provide a pro typing experience while taking advantage of the newest features iPadOS offers. 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.

Customer reviews

There are things about it that I love and things about it that I think are * overdesigned*. Let me explain. When purchasing a keyboard for your iPad Pro, you need to consider its size and what generation it's from. Most keyboards have attachments that are custom-designed for each size and generation, and a mismatch won't work. Be sure you know your iPad Pro's model number and the model number the keyboard was designed for.

While most iPad keyboard cases will offer protection against scuffs and scrapes, sometimes more is needed if you're constantly carrying your iPad. That's where Zagg's Rugged Book Go comes in. This is a case that's designed to take a beating, and it's rated for 6-foot drop protection. USB-C port for charging iPad Pro and iPad Air, freeing up the port on the iPad for other accessories.It also uses Apple's Smart Connector to connect with your iPad Pro rather than Bluetooth, so you'll never need to worry about pairing or charging it. Although the Magic Keyboard includes a USB-C connector, it's there only to charge your iPad Pro, so you can keep the main USB-C port free for other accessories. Brydge is another veteran of iPad keyboards, and it’s long been known for taking a completely different approach when it comes to the iPad, focusing on making a great keyboard with a more MacBook-like aesthetic. It’s far from the most protective solution you’ll find—we’d barely call it protective—but it’s one of the classiest industrial designs.
