I’m pretty impressed that I was able to do on the iPad what I would do on a MacBook, mostly. This entire review was written on the iPad Magic Keyboard, and everything on the page except for the pictures were uploaded via the iPad Air. ![]() It also allows for using the iPad like a laptop – for example command+tab to switch windows, shift to select an uppercase letter and on the trackpad, scrolling and selecting text as you would on a laptop. The trackpad behaves the same way as a MacBook, which allows for seamless swapping between both devices. Highlights of the iPad Magic Keyboard is definitely the backlit keys for use in the dark and a built-in trackpad.

The iPad Magic Keyboard definitely has that haptic sensation thing nailed (that’s where objects are heavy to give the illusion of higher quality or performance), except that it’s not an illusion. It is an iPad, though, not a full-sized laptop.īut as someone who has long fake nails, I’m hitting every key wrong and touch-typing isn’t going too well for me. The key sizes aren’t big enough –strange, considering the keys on my MacBook Pro measure 17 mm and the keys on the iPad Magic Keyboard measure 16 mm so the size and spacing isn’t too different. The keys sound plastic-y but they feel a lot nicer under my fingers than I was expecting. It’s very sturdy and stays upright while on my lap on the lounge. Image: Asha Barbaschow/Gizmodo Australia How does it feel? The iPad folds up nicely into the Magic Keyboard, so it does also act as a great case for the device. ![]() But this is why you’d choose the black, I guess, even though it would still stain/eat away at the keys/case to some degree (source: my car’s window buttons). This is going to ruin the iPad Magic Keyboard in no time. ![]() The colour is great, except when you have makeup on and touch the keyboard after touching your face. I almost felt like I was going to break it when I was pushing the screen (iPad Air) to a position comfortable for me to view (my eyes are bad and I was on the lounge). When I opened the box, I wasn’t expecting it to be so sturdy and solid – I was expecting a flimsy keyboard that usually comes with a tablet.
