I got my first iPad about 6 years ago and when it got old I kinda gave up on the idea and bought a MacBook instead. A friend uses a new larger size iPad for taking notes at work and it seemed to work for her so I thought I’d buy a small one to try it out. I love it! With the pencil it’s everything I need. I use Noteshelf app for notes, drawing at work and it works great. I got my first iPad about 6 years ago and when it got old I kinda gave up on the idea and bought a MacBook instead.

It’s a case, it’s a keyboard, and it’s expensive. Crazy expensive for a keyboard. Crraaaaazzzzzyyyyyyyyyyy,

But... it’s mind blowing to use. It feels like living in the future. Easy to pop the iPad Pro on/off the stand part. The keys feel great to press with a reasonable amount of travel and touch. The screen angling works fine for me sitting at a desk, or even watching Netflix while lying in bed.

The touchpad turbocharges the iPad Pro like you’d not believe. Editing text, clicking buttons, swiping apps, it’s all a breeze.

Minor nitpicks: the material feels good but already shows minor wear marks. The 11” keyboard feels a little cramped. The weight is weighty but understandable.

In summary: while it’s expensive it’s the best in class. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. You deserve it.

Good experience with typing with iPad. It’s a little bit heaven to carry, and the touch pad is not ideal.

Awesome service :) Good experience with typing with iPad. It’s a little bit heaven to carry, and the touch pad is not ideal.

This and the Apple Pencil have really allowed me to enjoy the full experience of my iPad Air 4th gen, my productivity has increased even more since I got this. It’s great because it makes productivity fun.

Best thing I’ve done is to replace my MacBook Air with this, have to find my way around a bit, sometimes I wish there would be like a wee course or something as I am figuring out more and more amazing stuff this thing can do. So portable, just great. Maybe keyboard not for big hands but perfect for mine.
One negative: keyboard has no escape key or no volume for quick access.. if I could change that that would be great, who needs that weird wave sign up top left???

Excellent product Excellent product

Yes, it's expensive. Probably more than it needs to be. But if your iPad is a big part of your workflow, it's totally worth it. The trackpad and backlit keyboard supercharges iPadOS and makes it even more of a joy to use. Yes, it's expensive. Probably more than it needs to be.

The keyboard is great, the actual mechanism is very well built and feels premium and if you have apple care for your iPad pro that will cover your magic keyboard too which makes it's a bit easier pill to swallow with the price incase something happens accidentally like it falling off your lap.

The USB C port included with the mouse helps too as the iPad can only be put onto it one way, the including USB C port on the spine of the keyboard means you have a port on each side to charge. It can't be used for plugging USB C to SD readers from my experience but for charging it's great.

The keyboard and trackpad are the best part about it. The keys light up and the travel is great and feels just like a MacBook (the older keyboards which have good travel) and the trackpad has all the functions as a normal MacBook trackpad (change the settings in the settings option to change the right-click to the bottom right).

Cons:
The angle that you can adjust the screen is somewhat limited with pointing the screen up more than what you see in the product images really at the limit if can point lower of course but this can be quite challenging when standing up and the iPad is on say a table. Writing on it too while on the stand is quite an art, the weight of the keyboard is slightly too light to put too much pressure on the screen with your hand and pencil without it falling back.
And finally, the weight, the keyboard comes in at nearly the same weight as the actual iPad which isn't so bad on the 11" but on the 12.9" it makes it a similar weight to a macbook air
The price you could buy an iPad mini but that's to be expected with an apple official peripheral.

Overall I'm very happy I got it and it's very useful and my go-to case especially while travelling (within NZ sadly) and the trackpad and keyboard does not disappoint.

This keyboard for the iPad makes it into a real business machine.

The trackpad clearly draws on Apple’s years of learning with Mac Trackpads, and the small size is not an issue to the speed of the cursor movement, and the fact that you can click anywhere on its surface is a real plus.

The scissor switch keyboard is mechanically identical to the late 2020 MacBook Pro (other than lacking a Touch Bar/function keys), so no worries about the faulty keyboards that have plagued the previous few generations of MacBooks Pro. The keys have a nice depth to them too, and the keyboard is actually inside a recess in the product so that the keys’ hei...view more This keyboard for the iPad makes it into a real business machine.

The missing star is because of the fabric exterior which easily collects fingerprints and stains- this fabric means that it probably ought to be $50-100 cheaper. If you’re working from home on your dining table or similar you’ll want to give the table a good wipe and dry before laying this on it. The price would be right if the exterior were made of a more easily cleanable material such as plastic or aluminium.
