I've used the new 2024 13 inch Magic Keyboard for the new 13 inch M4 iPad Pro for two weeks, is it worth the big price tag?

This is literally my Most expensive Father’s Day gift. He’s going to freak out. He’s an architect set to retire in 8-10 years. Dudes been rocking a 6th gen with the old pencil. Now it’s all updated 11inch pro, magic key and the pencil pro! All still in the their respective boxes. Thanks for your help in making me a bit broke 🤣 looking forward to seeing pops lose his marbles trying to figure out Apple intelligence. TREAT YO DAD!!!!!

I buy a iPad to be tablet. A keyboard is a nice bonus but definitely not for this price 😅

I just upgraded to a 13” M4 and this is my first Magic Keyboard. I specifically went to the Apple Store to try the new model out before making a decision. I have the Logitech keyboard combo on my old M1 and liked it, but the Magic Keyboard is definitely a better typing experience and feels more ‘solid’. The connection for the Logitech keyboard is kinda flimsy and results in the keyboard shifting when using in my lap. I did like that it has a case for the iPad, which the Magic Keyboard does not. I figured I’d try it out for the 2 week return period and I quickly decided that I really like it and use it way more than I thought it would or than I did with the Logitech. The price is ridiculous, but it really is a nice piece of kit. I’m pretty sure I’m going to keep it at this point, but recommend if anyone is on the fence, you have two weeks to return with no questions from Apple, so try it out and return if you really don’t like it or can’t justify it.

Excellent review! I loved that you addressed the wobbliness of the Magic Keyboard, which is something I've only seen one other reviewer do so far!

@NeuroPete 15 күн бұрын

I got my new iPad Pro 4 a few days ago. I’m glad I splurged for the magic keyboard. I had a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. It was OK, but the magic keyboard is better in so many little ways. I typically use my tablet while laying on my back, with the keyboard sitting between my stomach and chest. It is a little wobbly, but not too bad. On the rare occasions I use it in my lap, I will need to prop it up with something near the front. maybe some third-party will come up with gizmo that stays attached to the bottom of the keyboard just for that purpose - maybe 1 inch rubber wedge or something.

Why do KZfaqrs feel the need to add the word “honest” in the title. Surely it is a given that a review is honest? And if a video is sponsored should the title be “my tainted view” or “my sellout view” ?

@bryans8656 Ай бұрын

Since I already had an Apple bluetooth keyboard, a Logitech Pebble mouse, and an inexpensive stand I decided to operate on the cheap.

@abrahamroberts2040 Ай бұрын

I'm loving the keyboard in the black and haven't had issues keeping it clean so far. Also, I agree that it's top heavy but I enjoy using it on my lap. It's definitely improved from the last Gen.

Cursor moment can be disable, I think in accessibility, which may better mirror computer cursors.

So the weight distribution is the different than on the first model? I use my magic keyboard almost daily with mi iPad Pro and i feel the balance perfect.

@davidpruitt3255 Ай бұрын

Regarding the accuracy of the trackpad I think you're referring to the trackpad inertia. When you move the mouse on a Mac it stops immediately when you stop. On an iPad it continues moving for a bit. If you go into system settings and search for inertia you can toggle this off so that it acts like a Mac cursor.

Nice review! I can't see any reason to ditch my M1 Pro and "old Magic Keyboard" for the M4 and it's keyboard though but I like your videos.

Understandable! And thank you :)

I have the one for the 11 inch iPad Pro. I really like it after using it for a few days, but still a little bit concerned if the aluminum or something on it like dust will scratch the screen. The rubber around the keyboard does not really prevent the display glass to touch the aluminum in the trackpad area… The glass really touches the surface. At the moment it seems we have no keyboard gate and I really hope it stays like that.

Very good point, which I hadn’t thought of.

@uniquesoul73 19 күн бұрын

the wobble is annoying but not a deal breaker for me. for my purposes, the keyboard makes the ipad pro a full scale computing machine. Great video

@PLANETWATERMELON Ай бұрын

People have been buying the magic keyboard since it was released so I don't see why people would not buy it now as it's the same price for a better keyboard.

Just like @DjangoGreen, I wanted a tablet due to the benefits tablets have over laptops (iPADOS, touch screen, lightweight, ability to work while holding the device with one hand etc.). I've never had any desire to try and make my tablet a laptop. Dictation and the on screen keyboard, is good enough for me when away from home. A bluetooth keyboard (MX Keys Mini) and mouse (MX 3) sits on the desk at home for heavy duty work. Enjoyed the video! 👍🙏

@craigwhite9927 26 күн бұрын

The reason I stayed away from the old Magic Keyboard and why I am considering this on is the weight. So for me to add "weight" for stability defeats the purpose. At that point I may as well just bring my MacBook Pro

Ipad Pro M4 11 or 13, which is better for students- mainly use for note taking and online classes

@vonettadevo 6 күн бұрын

I'd say the 11" - I take notes for work and it's ideal when next to my laptop on my desk or when holding it. I tried out the 13" again in the store yesterday and it looks nice on the stand but for handheld use, I think it's too big for note taking.

@chutherock Ай бұрын

Why is no one asking for feet on this keyboard case!? They could make the back feet bigger so the weight is pushed forward a bit.

The Magic keyboard is itself a protective case. I don’t think a separate protective case is needed, but there are many generic laptops sleeves that would give extra protection, if you wanted it.

@joshuameyer2123 15 күн бұрын

That’s probably the best bet I was just wondering because I take my iPad out of the case a lot and want it to be protected in case of drops

I’m actually confused. I bought the 2024 iPad Air 13 with the $349 Magic Keyboard and it has no function keys. The $349 Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro has function keys. What gives?

@abrahampena9150 10 күн бұрын

Because the Magic Keyboard for the Air is the exact same keyboard of the previous iPad Pro line. The body of the Airs are the exact bodies of the old iPad Pros. The new Pros are thinner and thus need a new keyboard - which now has the function keys. And yes, the pencil Pro and the pencil second generation are the same price; as well as the new keyboard and old keyboard are the same price....ugh.
