For my 11-inch iPad Pro Magic Keyboard review, I examined just how well it works.Īs far as material and general fit and feel, it's very similar to the folio part of the Smart Keyboard Folio. The folio part of the keyboard case, the magnetic backing that the iPad Pro sticks to, is where most of the unique design aspect comes into play.

This is just a general observation on an 11-inch computing setup. It gets uncomfortable after a couple of hours of straight typing. I can't keep my arms in any sort of ergonomic position. This has nothing to do with the keyboard itself and more to do with the fact that an 11-inch "laptop" is a little too small to be a daily use, 8-hours per day computer. The overall setup, however, is a little too small. There is plenty of wrist pad room for me to rest my palms next to the trackpad without accidentally clicking it. The keys don't feel cramped into the small space at all. There is enough room between keys to make for comfortable travel. How well does this keyboard size work with the 11-inch iPad Pro? Much better than I would have imagined. There isn't as much of a clickety-clackity experience. They're much tighter on the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. They sort of wiggle when you move your finger around on the keyboard. On the iMac/Mac's Magic Keyboard, keys are loose. It's almost unnoticeable, but you can feel the curve if you run your finger across the keys. The keys have just the slightest bit of a concave curve. They aren't sharp like the iMac's Magic Keyboard, but also not as soft as the Smart Keyboard for iPad. But the click is less clicky and more thumpy when you type. There is plenty of springiness and bounce. I don't mean that they are mushy like the Smart Keyboard for iPad. Here's how I'd describe the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro It's like the Magic Keyboard for the iMac, but with a cloth under the keys. They are "keyboard agnostic." Others have very strong opinions about what makes a good keyboard, and the slightest changes to tactility and feedback have a huge effect. Keyboards are definitely a personal experience, especially if you like mechanical keyboards.
