Magic Keyboard for iPad

The Magic Keyboard for iPad is a computer keyboard developed by Apple for recent iPad models without a front-facing home button. It was first announced as the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro on March 18, 2020 for release in May 2020, but it was subsequently made available to order in mid-April with deliveries starting later that month. It is available alongside the Smart Keyboard Folio and Smart Cover.

Features
The Magic Keyboard for iPad is similar to its desktop predecessor but features a trackpad. Its keys are backlit and use a scissor mechanism with 1 mm travel. It attaches magnetically to the iPad Pro, which sits above a cantilever that allows adjusting the viewing angle.

It does not contain a battery, but is powered by the iPad Pro's magnetic Smart Connector. It also has a USB-C port on the hinge of the keyboard for recharging the iPad Pro, and freeing the USB-C port on iPad Pro itself for other accessories.

Product support and availability
The Magic Keyboard for iPad was released in over 30 languages and two sizes that support the 10.9-inch 4th-generation iPad Air, and the 11 and 12.9-inch 3rd-generation iPad Pros and later.

On April 30, 2021, a white version of the keyboard will become available for pre-order with the 5th-generation iPad Pros. The 12.9-inch version was revised to accommodate slightly thicker dimensions due to the Liquid Retina XDR display. Older versions of the keyboard will still function with the thicker iPads, though the fit will not be precise, especially with a screen protector.
