Was the wait for the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro worth it? Absolutely. It\u2019s probably better to be late to the game but have a solid product, than to deliver something that\u2019s mediocre \u2013 I\u2019m looking at you, Folio Keyboard \u2013 though I can\u2019t help but wish it hadn\u2019t quite taken a whole decade to arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> This isn\u2019t quite the review I\u2019d hoped to do for the Magic Keyboard. The coronavirus lockdown means that travel is off the cards for the moment; I\u2019ll return with a follow-up after I\u2019ve had a chance to put it through its paces on a plane, where I suspect it\u2019ll come to be a common sight. For now, I\u2019ve been using the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9-inch at home, but already I\u2019m impressed by just how good it feels to type on. Responsive and tactile, with a very satisfying thunk on every keystroke, it falls somewhere between Lenovo\u2019s ThinkPad and Google\u2019s Pixelbook \u2018boards. They\u2019re each very different, yes, but equally great to type on, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/tag\/magic-keyboard\/\">Magic Keyboard<\/a> lands somewhere in-between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The 1mm key travel doesn\u2019t sound like a lot on paper, but in the real world it feels just right. You\u2019re not having to press down further than necessary, but nor does it feel like you\u2019re typing on a piece of plastic \u2013 as you would on the Apple Folio keyboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nPROS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Great keyboard<\/li><li>Powered by iPad Pro so no separate battery to charge<\/li><li>Well designed to protect the iPad Pro<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nCONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pass-through charging via USB-C is slow<\/li><li>Expensive<\/li><li>Smaller articulation range than expected<\/li><li>The ergonomics take some getting used to<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s safe to say that I\u2019ve waited 10 years for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":8650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1431,2541],"contributor":[],"class_list":["post-2599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-tech-events","tag-ipad","tag-magic-keyboard"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/magic_keyboard-Apple-techxmedia.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Techx Admin","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/techxadmin\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2599"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=2599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
