Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch

I was hesitant because of the price but I found a refurbished one in excellent condition for $200. It looks and works like new, no scratches or scuffs at all. The setup took 2 seconds — just attach and go. I use my iPad for note-taking in class and writing papers, and this has made everything so much easier. Highly recommend if you can find one at a lower price.

Look, it works fine. The keys have good travel and the trackpad is responsive. But for $300+ I expected more. The materials attract fingerprints like crazy and the whole thing is heavier than I thought it would be. Also, the viewing angles are limited compared to a regular folio case. If you type a lot it's nice to have, but honestly I think there are better third party options for half the price.

I got this on sale for about $250 which felt like a better deal. The typing experience is excellent, probably the best I've had on a tablet keyboard. The trackpad gestures work well with iPadOS. My main complaint is that it doesn't protect the sides or top of the iPad very well, and I'm paranoid about dropping it. Also wish it came in more colors. Other than that, solid product.

I wanted to love this. I really did. I saved up for months to buy this keyboard because I wanted to turn my iPad into a laptop replacement for college. And it's... fine. The keyboard feels nice to type on and the trackpad works well enough. But there are some things that bug me. First, the viewing angle. You can't adjust it very much. It's basically one angle — slightly tilted back. If you're in a brightly lit coffee shop or sitting by a window, you're going to get glare and there's not much you can do about it. Second, the weight. My iPad Pro is supposed to be portable but with this thing attached it's heavier than my roommate's MacBook Air. Third, the price. I paid $299 and honestly I feel like I overpaid. The materials are nice but they show wear quickly. The outside of mine already has some scuffs and I've only had it for a few months. I also wish the keyboard had more shortcut keys. There's no escape key (you have to use the software one or remap it), no screen brightness keys, no media controls. For $300 I expect a full keyboard layout. I'm keeping it because I need a keyboard for my classes and it does work, but I can't say I'm happy with the value. If you can find one used or refurbished for under $200, go for it. At full price, I'd think twice.
