This is a sharp looking keyboard. The iPad snaps on easily and the tilt holds into place very well. Almost too well, in fact. You need a good amount of effort to change the angle of the iPad. I would love for it to be able to go a little flatter - I believe the max angle is 130 degrees which is good for any desk but doesn’t give you that “canvas” feel if you want to draw using the Apple Pencil.
I was surprised to find that the trackpad works great - just as you’d expect with a MacBook. Key travel is amazing - similar to the old MacBook Airs - and a huge step up from the butterfly switches Apple had been using on some of the more recent MacBooks. In order to not have the iPad with keyboard be top heavy, they had to make it be very weighty. Additionally, the keyboard is flush on both sides of the iPad folded up, so the additional width makes it fatter than a MacBook Air. So if you’re looking to travel lighter or thinner than a MacBook Air, this keyboard might not be for you. But it’s absolutely a great addition that gives you much more functionality than just an iPad or MacBook.

I wanted to like the keyboard, but for the price it’s just not that functional. There is definitely some good things about the keyboard case but all of the good things still don’t make this case worth $300.Pros:1) Sleek looking2) amazing trackpad/ touchpad functionality3) no Bluetooth pairing required, it automatically pairs using the smart connector4) can charge the iPad using the usb c port on the caseCons:1) there is no function keys or shortcuts on the keyboard2) the viewing angles are limited. Only 2 positions3) the iPad cannot be used in tablet mode unless you remove the iPad from the keyboard/case, so there’s no protection for the iPad while using it alone4) even with the iPad attached to the keyboard then sides/edges of the iPad are not protected. The case only covers the front and back5) EXPENSIVE I have both the magic keyboard and another keyboard case that I ordered from Amazon and I prefer the other keyboard case because it is more functional and was much more affordable ($75). I have added photos for comparison. The only reason why I gave the magic keyboard case 2 stars, is because it is an Apple product that is well made, if this case were made by another company I would give it 1 star! I’m so disappointed in Apple for this keyboard case. This is the only Apple Product that has completely let me down ( I have, and iPhone, iPad Pro, MacBook, Apple Pencil, Magic Mouse, AirPods, & Applet TV). This product does not follow in suit with other apple products.

On the other hand, it doesn’t have built in battery and uses the power source as the iPad, however, I have found that if you use a lower wattage power supply and you are able to charge your iPad alone with it, you may have the warning “not charging” message when you plug that power source to the keyboard USBC port instead of the iPad USBC port. I have this issue when I plug in using a USBA-USBC cable with a 48W multi-port power source and I have to always plug into the iPad instead of the keyboard to workaround it.

Awesome Apple magic keyboard although being pricey
By Y.L. Yin on May 23, 2020
Genuine Apple magic keyboard for both 2019 and 2020 iPad Pro 11’’. You will love it once you get it. I know it’s really pricey so I give 3 stars if the value for money, but this keyboard really turns the iPad to a laptop and I am using it as my secondary for work now. Awesome item from Apple.By Y.L.

Mangelhafte Verarbeitung / Keine Apple-Qualität
Reviewed in Germany on April 30, 2020
Von der mangelhaften Verarbeitung habe ich bereits vorher in vielen Foren gelesen. Leider muss ich das bei der Lieferung, die ich bekommen habe, auch bestätigen. Die Kleinigkeiten am USB-Anschluss und Gelenk hätte ich noch akzeptiert. Die Rückseite ist allerdings eine Katastrophe. Da ist eine deutliche Blasenbildung zu erkennen. Ansonsten hätte mir die Tastatur gut gefallen. Ich sende den Artikel jetzt direkt zurück und warte auf die Ersatzlieferung.

Purchased this end of Feb 2021 and received March 1st 2021.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2021
When i received this keyboard i thought it was amazing and much better than the earlier type keyboards that i have purchased for the iPad pro's.
Last week 3 of the keys fell off. I called Apple who then booked me to the Bluewater store to have it checked today (26/04/21). On arrival a Technician examined the keyboard and admitted they had never seen this before and they don't have the tool to remove the keys and will have to order it in. Whilst they were examining the keyboard another 2 keys fell off!
I asked for a replacement, but was informed they will attempt to repair it. I then asked what happens if more keys fall out to be told that i will need to take it back to them for repair.
Absolute joke. £297.00 for a keyboard that the keys fall out and have to wait each time for repair.
I will keep you all updated of the outcome once i hear back from Apple for the repair date.

Praktische Tastatur mit Touchpad // Schlechte Verarbeitung
Reviewed in Germany on May 8, 2020
Pro:Reviewed in Germany on May 8, 2020
Das Apple Magic Keyboard für das iPad ist endlich das Zubehör für das iPad Pro, welches es schon längst hätte geben sollen. Die Tastatur ist exakt wie bei MacBooks, die Tasten sind beleuchtet und das Touchpad funktioniert ebenfalls wie am MacBook. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass das iPad mit vollständiger Tastatur und Touchpad so einen Mehrwert erfährt. Es ist jetzt deutlich produktiver nutzbar.
Neutral:
Das Material der Apple iPad Hüllen finde ich nicht sonderlich hochwertig und es ist extrem fett empfindlich, d.h. nach kurzer Zeit bilden sich Fettabdrücke und Glanzstellen. Des Weiteren zieht es Dreck / Staub magisch an.
Negativ:
Was jedoch vollkommen inakzeptabel ist, ist die Verarbeitungsqualität. Wie bereits im Internet zu finden, ist auch an meinem Magic Keyboard die Rückseite nicht richtig laminiert. Es sind Blasen erkennbar (siehe Foto). Des Weiteren sind auch an meinem USB-C Anschluss an der Seite Kleberreste vorhanden. So eine Verarbeitung wäre bei einer 50,- EUR Hülle okay, aber nicht bei einem Premium-Produkt zum Mondpreis von 340,- EUR!
Unabhängig davon finde ich den Preis mehr als grenzwertig. Sofern das Magic Keyboard perfekt verarbeitet ist, ist es wirklich ein deutlicher Mehrwert für das iPad Pro. Aber selbst dann wäre ein Preis von ca. 200,- bis 250,- EUR vollkommen ausreichend!
Fazit:
Großer Mehrwert für das iPad Pro, jedoch mit gravierenden Verarbeitungsfehlern (Stand Mai 2020).
Ich habe bereits über Amazon.de Ersatz angefordert und hoffe, dass die 2. Lieferung besser verarbeitet ist.
UPDATE 12.05.2020:
Heute habe ich vom Apple Support ein Austausch Magic Keyboard erhalten per UPS Express. Das dies so schnell geht entschädigt für den Frust am Freitag. Das Austausch-Keyboard ist jetzt auch einwandfrei verarbeitet und daher erhöhe ich meine Bewertung jetzt auf 4-Sterne.

Almost perfect - iPad Pro Magic Keyboard 11”
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2020
Quite simply the best and most thoughtfully crafted keyboard case for the 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro range. The keyboard experience is second to none and having used Brydge products in the past I can say this is way more satisfying to type on. Backlighting on keyboard is a nice addition, viewing angles are just fine and protection is adequate, unless you drop your iPad. Only downside was the price. It is vastly over priced but it is extremely high quality and the trackpad opens up a whole new world of possibilities for what is essentially a tablet. Now it’s closer than ever to being a computer. Highly recommended
