Magic Keyboard For Ipad Pro 12.9 3Rd Generation

I bought this to replace the 5 1/2 year old Smart Keyboard for my 3rd generation iPad Pro. I used the old keyboard extensively with the iPad, eventually wearing it out. Given how much I enjoyed using the old keyboard and how long it lasted, it was an easy decision to replace it with essentially the same device. The only difference between the old and new keyboard is the size of the back camera opening, which is larger on this newer version. I also prefer this keyboard over Apple's Magic Keyboard because I can fold it back behind the iPad for reading a book, which the Magic Keyboard doesn't do.

I’ve been using my 11” iPad Pro with the new Magic Keyboard since its launch and it’s a game-changer for professionals that need a robust typing tool for those looking for a compact and relatively lightweight workstation. While the iPad Pro is still relatively limited due to the OS (iPadOS 13), there are workarounds for those that are open to expanding/exploring new ways of using this combo for their needs. The 12.9” iPad Pro with this Magic Keyboard takes things to a new level as the bigger screen with the full-size keyboard (similar in size to the 16” MBP’s keyboard), you will see that the Magic Keyboard had turned the bigger 12.9” into the defacto MacBook Pro 13” LITE.

I have had the 1st generation and 3rd iPad Pro 12.9, but this gen is awesome. I can tell the difference in snappy transitions, no lag opening apps, switching between apps, or opening Excel, Word, and image files. My 3rd gen iPad Pro was damaged and I was unable to make the transition to the new one as usual. However, I had a backup in iTunes and was able to restore it to the new iPad without any issues. The large screen allows for a great split-screen experience.

I had a 3rd gen iPad Pro 12.9 and used the Logitech keyboard folio, which I really liked. I just bought a 6th gen iPad Pro 12.9 and alas, the keyboard portfolio is not compatible. The bigger keyboard/cover form factor just doesn’t work. I ended up buying the Apple keyboard/folio and it’s a piece of junk. Please make a Logitech keyboard folio available for the 6th gen Pro 12.9

I have owned previously two iPad Pro 11in with keyboards and find the iPad 12.9 with Apple Magic keyboard more useful. The iPad12.9in with Magic keyboard works better and easier than my MacBook Pro laptop and may become a replacement for it. The touch pad on the keyboard works with different gestures for full control over the screen. It provides a small circular dot instead of a pointer on the screen and changes to a vertical line for editing when over text. I find the portability and protection for the screen to be a great asset and the ability to charge the iPad through the keyboard another plus with the option to charge on the iPad itself. The keyboard is back lit which helps in dimly lit conditions. The keys feel responsive and positive to the touch. I would recommend to buy to anyone, even with the high cost, who owns an iPad 12.9 as it truly increases the productivity factor.

Traded in 2nd generation 12.9 for this 4th generation 12.0 with magic keyboard. It’s more compact, but screen size is exactly the same as the older models......just no wasted space. Much lighter, and easy to carry around. Yes, spend the $$ and get the keyboard and it doubles as a case.

....which replaced his first generation iPad Pro 12.9. He has Down Syndrome with a touch of autism for flavor. 'Some' thought he would have a problem without the home button. Not our little guy who caught on immediately. He's very excited about the camera's clarity.....enjoying his new pictures. Just know, if he can figure out how to use it, you can too, no excuses. Hopefully this one will last longer than his first.....after 5 years the battery stopped charging.

Works fine with iPad Pro and magic keyboard.

I am Loving my new iPad Pro so far. Of course it’s light years ahead of the 2004 Apple iBook G4 that it is replacing (I know, I know...). Obviously there is somewhat of a learning curve with the differences but in a house with two teenagers to help, that’s been O.K. So far. I also got the “Magic Keyboard” with this iPad which of course also acts as a case. I don’t know if I’m more taken with the iPad, the Magic Keyboard or how they function together? - It is a joy to see perfectly functioning engineering like this! - I was concerned that I might not like the keyboard or that it would be too far off from the one I was used to, but I needn’t have been and actually like this keyboard better than my old one! Key function and sensitivity and keyboard size are great! - The iPad magnetically connects effortlessly with the Magic Keyboard and can charge from there too and when you want it disconnected for other uses, you just grab it and pull it off the keyboard component! - Once I’d set them both up my two aforementioned teenagers were even visibly impressed and I wondered if I sensed a little envy in their look even though they’ve had much further advanced electronic devices than their Dad for a long time up until this point. - It is fantastic and really does make it seem like a “real” laptop computer - or even better! Good Luck! & Cheers! M.

good keyboard and working with my iPad pro 12.9 fluently
