Shoutout to Fahad Hai for correcting me on both the Magic Keyboard for iPad NOT using bluetooth, and not having it's own internal battery. I was wrong and will be much more careful in future videos about facts I share.
The Magic Keyboard does not use Bluetooth, it’s a hard connection using the Smart Connector. Also, it doesn’t “last a month” since it doesn’t have a battery and does not charge; it just uses the iPad’s battery to run while connected, and that’s why it won’t work when detached.
Hi Fahad, you are correct and I was wrong in my video. I am going to pin a comment about it. I realize now that somehow I had pulled some facts from the Magic Keyboard that is NOT for the iPad. Thank you for correcting me!
@@freakytechreviews please don’t take me wrong, you’re already leaps ahead of me by actually publishing a video review, which I admire (even MKBHD makes mistakes). Best of luck with the channel, and can’t wait to see more of your work.
Best lowest subscriber, lowest video count review I've seen. Great image, solid script, and very natural. Time to attack the market outside the friend zone. Keep pushing!
I just upgraded to a Magic Keyboard from a Logitech Combo Touch. I thought the Combo Touch was the best of the best but now I’m convinced that the Magic Keyboard is the best option. The keys are excellent, having 2 ports available is awesome, and being able to just grab the tablet with ease is quite cool.
Agreed! It's one of those things where you don't understand how worth it it is until you have one. But most people stay away because of the pricepoint.
@@freakytechreviews Yeah, as with many apple products the price point is often tough to get past. That being said, if that is ones ONLY reason for choosing another product I totally understand. Heck….I made the same “mistake” for similar reason but it wasn’t; the only reason. I do like the Combo Touch having a bumper all the way around the product but using the iPad for handwriting is just not as pleasurable an experience with that thicker case around it. There is also no denying that the Magic Keyboard has a much higher build quality to it when sat side by side with the combo touch.
You can try the Smart Keyboard Folio. Yes, the typing experience is not like the one on the Magic Keyboard but it is actually turning your iPad into a super iPad instead of a MacBook. I personally don’t need a trackpad, because I just touch the screen, but every person has his own opinion. The Smart Keyboard Folio is way thinner and lighter and you can flip it and use it as a normal iPad. I think that is the best apple keyboard.. AND IT IS MAY CHEAPER✌️
I was late to the game on getting the Magic Keyboard for my 12.9” iPad Pro (2020), just got my Magic Keyboard in 2023 and wow, its definitely awesome.The price is steep, but I am happy with it and feel its well worth it! I am so have a 2021 MacBook Air which I also love, but for basic stuff I usually just use my ipad and Magic Keyboard.
It's one of those things that you don't really know how much you'll enjoy it until you've used it a couples times! For me, i find it MUCH more convenient than using my MacBook, so I get it!
Great content. I almost bought this for my iPad Pro. I just bought a bluetooth keyboard & connected a mouse. It works just fine. Keep making good content!
sejak peluncuran pertama x magic keyboard ipad 11,sampe sekarang udah 3tahun lebih,menurut aku masih oke banget,apa lagi kesibukan kuliah,mendaki,sampe ngerjain tugas di rumah,atau dalam mobil
While this is very expensive, the quality of life improvements are just that huge and I highly recommend it if you can afford it. It's not too bad on your lap and definitely top heavy but if I am sitting on the train it's fine. I have been using it for a few days and really love it.
If you can’t use it on your lap, your MX keyboard already has easy multi device support, so does your mouse. I can see some use for travel, but otherwise it is cheaper and better to get two Apple normal keyboards or one Logitech multi device one.
The keyboard doesn’t use Bluetooth. It uses the Smart Connector pins on the back of the iPad to connect to the keyboard, creating a wired physical connection. Also the keyboard is powered totally by the iPad. By itself, the keyboard has no power supply. The keyboard version for the 12.9” iPad Pro is a full size keyboard.
You are absolutely correct! I pinned a comment as another viewer brought these mistakes to my attention. I will be much more diligent about product fact accuracy in future videos!
I was also late to this. I just got my first MK a few wks ago. I don’t think I could ever go to any other kind of keyboard case for my iPad or any future iPad purchase.My setup is an iPad Air 4 with the MK and my main computer is an iMac.
It’s definitely a slightly different feel so there was an adjustment period for me as well. Especially having big hands, I struggle with some of the perimeter keys being too small, but it’s grown on me like crazy and I love it now!
I love my Magic Keyboard but the only downsides to it is that it’s heavy, and it seems to kill my iPad battery faster than normal when it’s in the case..
I am using a Smart Keyboard Folio and it is pretty awesome! I am thinking of buying the Magic Keyboard, because I really miss the typing experience with 1 mm of travel…
What I'm worried about is the material. Seems to be made of the same rubbery polyurethane stuff Apple used to make with the iPad smart cases from years before and with me living in a tropical country, the climate can get pretty humid. The case just starts fraying at the edges first then comes falling apart after around a year or less of use
While I am in a humid part of Texas, it's not tropical so that's a valid concern. I haven't found any issues personally, but this iPad rarely sees the light of day and is inside so unfortunately I cannot attest to how it will hold up. I never had one of those cases specifically, but I know what you're talking about and I believe there are some similarities to material.
I bought a 11 pro 2 years ago, 1 year ago I got the Magic Keyboard, within a couple of months it’s started glitching, it doesn’t work most of the time.
Hi! This case doesn't have bluetooth to connect to iPad. It is connected to the smart connector 3 pin system by Apple. It is always connected when attached. Also, How come you know that the keyboard's battery last 1 month on full charge?? Can you explain?
Hi! So you mentioned two mistakes I made. I pinned a comment address both, but you are correct that the keyboard doesn’t use Bluetooth and instead uses the three pin system. Also, the keyboard has no internal battery life, as it is powered via the iPad itself. When preparing for this video, I somehow took some facts from the original Magic Keyboard when I was comparing the two, and wrote down the Bluetooth and internal battery from that keyboard, instead of this one for the iPad.
@@freakytechreviews I understand mate :)! I just saw that you pinned the comment.. Your video quality is great and seems you have a great studio setup…. A video on that will be great!
As others mentioned, quality is 12/10. Good video and exactly what I was looking for. The real question: what’s your squat, bench and deadlift because I KNOW you lift 🤣
lol! Not near what they used to be! I typically maintain around a 375 bench, but squat will never be the same due to old injuries that prevent me from going heavy. But I appreciate the complement my man!
