Apple Smart Keyboard: iPad Keyboard and case for iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Air (3rd Generation), and iPad (7th, 8th, and 9th Generation), Comfortable Typing Experience, US English – Black

Nearly Perfect Typing Companion/laptop replacement
I recently got the Apple Smart Keyboard for my iPad, and I have to say, it’s been a game-changer for me. As someone who writes a lot, I was looking for something that could potentially replace my laptop. And guess what? This keyboard has done just that.First off, the feel of this keyboard is fantastic. The keys have just the right amount of responsiveness. Every tap is like the keyboard is reading my mind, making typing feel effortless and smooth. It’s a real joy to use, especially for long writing sessions.But here’s the catch – it’s not backlit. I often find myself working late into the night, and not having that backlight is a bit of a letdown. It’s like having a sports car without headlights – it’s great, but you can’t fully enjoy it when it gets dark.Despite that, I’m still really pleased with this keyboard. It’s slim, it’s sleek, and it attaches to the iPad like they’re two peas in a pod. Since I’ve started using it, my laptop has been collecting dust. The convenience of just popping my iPad into this keyboard and getting down to business is unbeatable.So, if you’re considering the Apple Smart Keyboard for your iPad and you’re a daytime writer or you’ve got a good lamp, I’d say go for it. It’s a solid, well-performing keyboard that might just make you forget about your laptop. Just keep in mind the lack of backlighting if you’re a night owl like me.

Nice Ipad keyboard
Great, light weight keyboard for ipad. Durable

Pretty good design
I have tried and reviewed two keyboards recently for the 7th Gen iPad. One I did not like at all, and then there’s this one.This design is clearly well thought out. I was disappointed because I misread that this one was backlit. It isn’t. I am also a little disappointed that the back of the iPad isn’t protected at all by this case — it isn’t a folio. However, it ends up having a slight advantage by not being a folio — the cover is removable easily and quickly when you don’t need it, and there is as little bulk as possible. This is hardly bigger/heavier than a simple front cover with no keyboard.Those of you who have had iPads for years will remember the first “covers” that ever came out were pretty much just like this — a magnetic flap that covers only the screen portion of the iPad. I assume those still exist. I’ve only used the folio version the past 7+ years, myself. I hate the idea of the back getting damaged from regular use or dropping.That said, I don’t think you could design a keyboard cover any better than this one. It folds two ways, one with the keyboard in front of the screen and one way with the keyboard behind. When the cover is folded over either way, the hard plastic of the keys does NOT touch either the front or the back of the iPad. That’s good design! The other, much cheaper, folio I bought and reviewed scratched my screen when it was closed. Yuck.One thing I really appreciate about this keyboard is that it does not need charging or a Bluetooth connection. That is one less cable to worry about and the keyboard will never run out of power while you’re using it. The way the cover connects is securely via the magnets on the side of the iPad. I suppose were it backlit, it would draw more power from the iPad. As it is, this keyboard is impossible to use in dark rooms if you don’t touch-type, but fine in average-lit rooms or daylight. Honestly, I don’t do that much writing on the iPad, but when I do, this works much better than the onscreen keyboard.The keyboard is touted to be “full sized” but it falls a bit short of the width and height of full-sized Air keyboard. The action is pretty stiff, but the layout is such that you’re not randomly hitting extra keys or functions. The delete and shift keys are where your hands expect them to be. I’ve owned some other third-party iPad keyboards that stuffed in random function keys or made the right shift key too small, so I always had to look at my hands rather than touch-type.I do not think I would have paid full price for this keyboard, especially since it isn’t backlit. The Amazon price is decent, especially if you want to have a very slim, very convenient keyboard that you never have to charge right at your fingertips. It definitely makes the iPad even more portable and functional. Whether you want to use the iPad to view videos at almost 90 degrees, to write with the keyboard at around 50 degrees, or take the cover completely off and hold just the pad in your hands, you can do all of that very quickly and easily. That, I think, are the smarts in this design.I’ll be looking for some sort of back cover or film, though, that fits with this cover. That way, the metal will be protected even when the front cover is off.

Great product
I bought this ipad cover for me brand new iPad, and I am thrilled with the way it operates as cover, but also the keyboard is extremely tactile and responsive. Takes all the irritation out of pounding the touch screen with your finger. And the dual design that lets you flip easily from screening to typing is brilliant. Only negative is that, because it is the”face” of the iPad, it takes a beating, and could be a little sturdier. But this is a minor objection.

Bon produit

Super Schreibpad für das iPad, sehr leise und gut in der Handhabung. Kann man auch mit einem Tuch problemlos abwischen falls es dreckig wird.

Compré el iPad para la escuela 9 generación, cheque el modelo para ver si modelo para ver la compatibilidad del teclado.Los materiales muy buenos, el teclado se siente suave.Es original el teclado de Apple, se conecto al instante ya que es magnético. Sirve como funda, solo le falta la parte de atrás y una buena mica de hidrogel.Solo me faltaría el lápiz y queda algo mejor
