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 of key travel. It attaches magnetically to the iPad Pro or iPad Air, which sits above a cantilever that allows adjusting the viewing angle.

Instead of a battery, it is powered by the iPad's magnetic Smart Connector. It also has a USB-C port on the hinge of the keyboard for recharging the iPad and freeing the USB-C port on the iPad itself for other accessories.

It is compatible with the 11-inch iPad Pro 1st and 2nd generation, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3rd and 4th generation,[2] and the 4th-generation iPad Air.[3]
