iPad Magic Keyboard 6 Months Later 

Did away with my MacBook a few months ago and Just picked this up along with an iPad Air 4 excited for it to arrive.

Thank you for your review! Will be buying it with the air soon !

Your review was detailed and to the point!

I love mine with my 12.9 Pro. I'll definitely pickup that SopiGuard. One thing that was annoying when I first got it was there was no keyboard support for the RU-vid app. They must have updated it because the other day I found I was able to use the space bar to stop and start videos and also use the arrow keys to fast forward and rewind. Great product but yeah, I wish it was more durable.

I’ve had this iPad and the magic keyboard together for about 4 months as a student and its great nothing comes close

This was great! Just the right video I was looking for after buying mine yesterday.

Thanks for the review. I’m planning to buy an iPad as well as the magic keyboard for university. However I might wait until the second edition of the keyboard comes out, just to see if the “flaws” that the recent magic keyboard has are going to be fixed.

Thank you for the video! Felt a little guilty after spending so much money on this. Now I’m more convinced that it’s going to pay for itself.

Great review! Very informative.

You can use the customize buttons to adjust the volume and the brightness via Logitech mx master or anywhere series. Very useful.

I started using mine today with my new IPAD Air. Advice. Lock the screen in horizontal mode. I bought my Keyboard at Best Buy, and a day later, I ordered my IPAD Air from Apple online. After my purchases, I called Apple and asked them to add my IPAD AppleCare to the keyboard. No extra charge. They did it, although AppleCare terms state the keyboard should be on the same receipt. Mine is the 11 inch, and I really like it. Several months back, I had Carpal Tunnel symptoms, probably caused by spending many hours on the couch, holding an IPAD up by one hand/arm. Now, it’s a pleasure to use on the couch. I thought I would be taking the IPAD off the keyboard, to use on the couch. Not now.

I found the 3M sticker fantastic. Thanks for indication.

great video jerry!!

I use that ipad magic keyboard daily, but I take it off and put it on the Apple case when I''m using "notability" for hand written notes. it's the greatest app in the universe. The ipad sticks nicely to metal music stands, so gone is paper music with the app "forscore" that is the best app in the universe for music presentation.

Love everything about it except the material and tiny trackpad

Have been using it and turns out it is being used for a different purpose than expected. I expected to remove the IPAD from the keyboard to use it on the couch. However, it is so compact and stable, I don’t detach it. I love using it on my couch. It has the benefit of an IPAD, larger print, vibrant colors, apps, and the keyboard keeps it at the perfect ergonomic position. Much easier on the eyes than my MacBook. Anyone that likes to use the IPAD on a couch on a continual basis, even if only for media consumption, should consider this keyboard. Glad I bought it.

Also as far as not being able to flip it around and use it in reading my solution was to just go by a smart folio apple case and when i take it off my magic keyboard my folio case is near and I just slap it on works great

I still use mine and never really had any big issues with it. Still no dents or scratches on my case which is a good thing. My only issue with it is not being able to flip it around so I can draw on it or take notes with my pencil. I understand you can take it off and do those things but I feel like that was a miss on their end. They could have added a stop to prevent it from going all the way back and then you press a button and lets it fold flat.

Thank you do much for the review

Wey jerry I’m Italian and tanks for all your iPad Pro videos!! My English is not good but if You continued in this way and you will have successful Sei grande continua così

I had the magic keyboard and I can’t wait for gen 2

Very great video! Thanks for the information

After about 3 week of using it I had to sell and get a BT keyboard (Logi K780) and a Magic Trackpad. The main problem for me is that if I want to switch from working mode to "watching a movie in bed" mode I hav to switch to a smart folio. The lip in K780 holds a 12.9" iPro with an official Smart Folio quite good. Also I'm from Russia and Apple did some weird things to Russian layout which makes it a jarring experience for someone who uses mainly a Windows PC for work. And the trackpad is just so good. Only downside is that it uses a Lightning port for charging for whatever reason.

I have bought multiple Logitech and Brydge keyboards as well as previous Apple incarnations and this is far and away the best keyboard. Yes, its expensive but I have bought cheaper and not so much cheaper alternatives and the build quality has led to them having unacceptably short working lives.

can you do a video on your filming setup? I really live the vibes of your videos and it would be really fun to see where it comes from!

hi, did you request a change from Apple for those dents?

Have they fixed the battery drain issue on the keyboard folio yet? Didn’t get one because of the issue

Hello, nice video. I enjoyed a lot. I’m looking for an external Hard Disk utility to rename the disk and check the free space, format. Have you something in mind which could do that? thanks and I’m pressed to watch your next video.

The materials are fairly poor when considering the cost. I see a few people reporting fraying edges on corners and around the hinge. I also find the trackpad a little too small and when using it I forget I can touch the screen. I find myself trying to use the ipad like a laptop and get frustrated, completely forgetting it's a touch tablet first!

I like it its basically a ipad and a mac

Bought mine 5 days ago and I will say I have no regrets.

I’ve been a PC owner since the late 1980’s. I’ve always wanted to switch over to Apple, but just couldn’t justify the move. Than Apple came out with the 2020 iPad Pro (12.9 {I wanted the full size keyboard} with 512GB), iPadOS 14 and the Magic Keyboard (which is still in brand new condition)! I went ALL in to see if I could finally make the switch. Well I made the purchases in April and now 7 months later, I’ve added the Magic Trackpad 2 and two HomePods! My PC has been handed down and my PC Laptop has been put in a carrying case and stored away in the closet. Who knew these devices would change my life in such a dramatic way. LOVE my 2020 setup and I’m all in and not looking back! Thanks Apple and thanks for making another great video.

I had a problem with the battery drain problem when using the magic keyboard, its like when i attach the ipad to the magic keyboard the battery immediately decrease like crazy without using it and after i detach the ipad battery still decreasing until i restart the device. After i complained to the store they tested my magic keyboard using 2 different iPad 2020 12.9inch and they worked just fine with no battery drain problem. So we came to a conclusion the problem is with my ipad and they gave me a new one and there it work just fine without battery problem when attaching to the magic keyboard. The difference setup between the two ipad is the first one (the battery drain ipad) i set it using an existing apple id and icloud from the beginning setup and the second ipad (no battery problem) i set it up in the beginning like a new ipad and set the apple id and icloud later. I don’t know whether that was the case or not, i thought it just worth mentioning the difference beginning setup. Oh and both of them are the newest iOS 14 when i tested them on the magic keyboard.

I have the 12.9 and the keyboard size is nice. I’m not a big function key user, so that’s not something that’s a deal breaker. Backlighting for me has always been cool only because I like lights.... For typing, I don’t use sight for finding/hitting keys. I’ve heard complaints about the size and weight and I don’t get it. It feels “solid” and I like it. I came from the 2nd Gen iPad Pro with a beast of a case. So, this is nothing for me. The only thing I don’t like is Apple Pencil storage. Having it on top is nice/great when I’m using the device. But, walking around...? Not so much. I purchased a sling, and that seems to fix the problem. Overall, I love this thing. It was expensive, but that pain seemed to dissipate quickly after purchase! I’m all about getting what I like and want. Saving $100-200 for a cheaper option means nothing if I don’t like the product. I use a Dbrand cover for the Magic Keyboad and iPad. Great.

I want the magic keyboard so bad but i also know that i’ll be using my ipad for note taking from time to time. I dont feel comfortable removing the ipad just so i could write notes.

Funny that Apple has really good hinge but my Lenovo 7i it’s hinge is horrible.

Have you used keyboard covers?

Regarding the settings for the backlight, are you able to make shortcut that takes you right to the setting itself? Could alleviate some of the time spend getting there.

i love the magic keyboard but now find that even the replacement i just retrieved from the apple store will not capitalize or correctly space. should i keep going with replacement? is this a hardware or possibly a software problem?

Hi this is a great video thanks for that! I have a quick question, how do you suggest to use the Apple Pencil with this? Thanks a lot

Can I use the large magic keyboard with the 10.9 air? That would enhance the typing experience. Would the magnets line up?

Personally for me, the keys and trackpad have got something like oil or sweat or something just from building up overtime and use from here and there. Also the outside part of the case just wears off even if u care for it. It’s really sad to see that such a product becomes very bad overtime.

Does the skin leave any glue after its peeled? That’s what I’m worried about before buying what the long term of the skin will do to the cover after iets removed after some months..

I’ve used my magic keyboard now for let’s say a half year... and since two days the keyboard doesn’t react anymore... my parents will kill me. Please I need help! Nothing happened, like water comes on it or it falls down, NEVER... I’m so afraid, help me please!

I just bought magic keyboard, should i buy a skin for my case too? But it cost 50$ in my country. If you were me, would you buy it at that price? Considering the original rubber skin. Will the original rubber skin last long and wont scratch/ruined easily? Thanks for the response in advance!

u definitly deserve more subs btw should I buy the magic keyboard or the keyboard from logitech???

Seems like the Magic Keyboard drains the Ipad battery super quick. Does anyone else have this problem?

Wanna know what bothers me the most? It`s by far the best looking iPad keyboard on the market. Makes me want to to but even the Logitech ones being half of the price.

Honestly just buy the folio case from apple drop another 100 swap and go

I love mine so so much! Also dark mode really does use less battery’s I’ve done it myself and I can get longer use with dark mode!

Help. Too much conflicting information caused by Apple keeping the Magic Keyboard name on different generations. I called Apple and the rep obviously didn’t have one and couldn’t help. He sent me an article, which clearly didn’t apply to the new keyboard. These have a USB-C port. Do I charge an internal battery in the keyboard, using that port. The rep told me to use the lightning port. It doesn’t have one. I plugged in my MacBook 12 USB-C charger into the USB-C on the keyboard. I don’t see any lights telling me it’s charging. I know prior Apple keyboards had no battery, I believe this one does, and lack of info is appalling.

Pls give a big giveaways you have get More subscribers SURE

Guten Morgen, Mr. Schulze! Thanks for the latest vid. Those 2 nicks, dings, “damage” are better known as “battle scars” and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. See the movie “Jaws” and you’d see what I mean. Hey, who knows, perhaps in the future, besides skins to cover the iPad, someone would come out with the idea of “tattoos” theme skins? LOL!!!. I still have the original iPad Pro mated to a Logitech keyboard. Needless to say, it doesn’t have the floating, magnetized option of Apple’s latest iteration, but it has that much missing.....option...function keys. With Logitech’s function keys, the keyboard backlight can be controlled easily, adjusting its brightness, and even, turning off the backlight altogether, saving the battery’s energy density in the process. I see no problem whatsoever with your keyboard. I do NOT (emphasis on NOT) like Logitech’s “boxed” option but I guess it has something to do with licensing issues. But definitely having that function key option is a MUST in my case. I am a person that likes a mouse’s feedback, the greatest support Apple could have developed for the iPad, since I am NOT (emphasis on NOT) fan of the trackpad. Not my cup of java, or tea if the user prefers, or fav beer due to Oktoberfest!. No matter how BIG a trackpad operational “real estate” might be, I simply cannot adapt to it. Also, bypassing the trackpad and sticking with the mouse, I’d have no issues on how deep or shallow the trackpad’s travel might be. I have an Apple TV streamer, and my goodness, I love it.......except its remote control; way too thin, way too sensitive, and way too flimsy. I do not have a carpet on the living room, a regular tile floor, dropping the Apple TV remote once, it cracked instantly. But somehow it still functions. There is a replacement by a company that its name escapes me at the moment, but it replaces the remote with a more traditional bulky style, with the exception of voice command/dictation, but I’d digress. I am crossing my fingers that Apple will come out with an iPad Pro 12.9 inch keyboard. But I might have to wait a tad longer, obviously next year, with a more powerful chip (like the latest iPad Air apple silicon) assuming my present iPad battery still holds its energy density charge. And talking about the future, cool “Future Jerry” visitation, I’d just wished you had a starry background since I am a fan of Star Trek, but I’d digress. Thanks again for your latest report, be safe, be well, be blessed!

Actually there is force touch……it’s called tap to click in settings

I hope I'm not repeating myself on this thread. If you buy the IPAD, Magic Keyboard, Mouse, AppleCare, on the same receipt, the AppleCare covers all three. Because of misinformation in some articles, I called Apple. The initial Rep wasn't sure. She checked with the AppleCare division. It does need to be on the same receipt. I was not aware of this. She suggested I call Apple back when my Ipad Air arrives, give them all three serial numbers, and ask them to add it. I bought all three on separate receipts within 3 days of each other. The Keyboard from BB, the other two from Apple. I had some bad information. I relied on an article from I-More, which was dead wrong. Apple should be clear on making this known.
