Apple Magic Keyboard

This specific Magic Keyboard is designed for the latest iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Air models. It is not backward compatible with older generations of the iPad Pro or iPad Air due to changes in physical dimensions and connector placement.

No, the Magic Keyboard does not require its own battery. It draws power directly from the iPad through the Smart Connector on the back of the device, so you never need to charge it separately.

The Magic Keyboard features a full-sized, backlit keyboard with a scissor mechanism that provides 1mm of travel. It offers a tactile, responsive typing experience very similar to that of a MacBook.

The Magic Keyboard uses a floating cantilever design that holds the iPad magnetically. While you can easily detach the iPad from the magnetic back panel to use it as a standalone tablet, you cannot fold the keyboard behind the iPad to use it like a standard folio case.

Yes, it includes a built-in trackpad that supports Multi-Touch gestures and the cursor in iPadOS. This allows you to navigate the interface, manage apps, and edit documents with the same precision you would expect from a laptop.

Yes, the Magic Keyboard includes a USB-C port located on the hinge. This allows for pass-through charging, meaning you can plug your power adapter into the keyboard to charge your iPad while keeping the iPad's own USB-C port free for other accessories.
