About this deal

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 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. 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. Testing conducted by Apple in September 2022 using pre‑production iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (6th generation) and iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (5th generation) units with pre‑release software. LumaFusion v3.1.2.1780 tested using a 55-second clip with 4K Apple ProRes RAW media, at 4096x2160 resolution and 59.94 frames per second, transcoded to Apple ProRes 422. Performance tests are conducted using specific systems and reflect the approximate performance of iPad Pro. This hinge design makes this case stand out from every other iPad keyboard in existence. But is it the best possible design?

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.

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+. 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. 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.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. Instead of a case that you snap the iPad Pro into, it's designed so you can simply plop the iPad Pro onto the mount magnetically. There are multiple strong magnets on either side of the mount to keep the iPad Pro in place. There is no chance your iPad will slip away from the magnetic connection without a serious jolt.

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.

How well does this keyboard size work with the 11-inch iPad Pro? Much better than I would have imagined. 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. To access and use all Apple Card features and products available only to Apple Card users, you must add Apple Card to Wallet on an iPhone or iPad that supports and has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Apple Card is subject to credit approval, available only for qualifying applicants in the United States, and issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch. Expect to see the best savings on the most expensive Apple tablets, as well as older models; you can score some very attractive discounts if you're not hugely fussed about getting the latest iPad.Another bonus about the Logitech Folio Touch? It's almost half the cost of the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, with slightly more functionality. What's not to like about that? 11-inch iPad Pro Magic Keyboard: Should you buy it? You should buy this if... 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. 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.

While many iPad Pro keyboard cases offer a place to keep your Apple Pencil, not all of them do it with as much versatility as Zagg’s Slim Book Go, which provides three different slots to store your Apple Pencil: the usual spot on the top of the iPad Pro for charging, a storage slot at the base of the cover, and even a holder at the top of the keyboard for setting it down when you’re switching between typing and sketching. While the storage slot makes the case a little wider than most, the Apple Pencil is an expensive accessory, and we think this is the safest way to carry it on the go. 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″).

How to use your Magic Keyboard

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.
