Product Overview

The 2021 Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad is available in two sizes, supporting both the 12.9-inch and the 11-inch models. It adds a sleek backlit physical keyboard, an integrated trackpad with multi-touch gesture control, and a USB-C port for charging.
Reviewers have noted that the new trackpad, while lesser than that found in the MacBook Pro, is superior to that trackpad on Microsoft's Surface machines.
The 11-inch Magic Keyboard is compatible with earlier models; however, the 12-inch model is not. This is because the 2021 iPad Pro is 0.5mm thicker than the 2020 model to accommodate the new mini LED panel.

Reviewer score 78%
Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
Key travel and feel is like the best of both worlds. The keyboard lacks a row of extra function buttons such as volume, brightness and a home button. The trackpad is smaller than the one on any MacBook -- it's more like a Netbook or a tiny Chromebook trackpad.

Pros
  • Crisp backlit scissor keys
  • Comfortable keyboard
