If you already have a 2020 12.9-inch Magic Keyboard, it will not fit the 2021 ‌iPad Pro‌ models. So if you have a 2020 ‌iPad Pro‌ you can buy the 2021 Magic Keyboard (which is the only version available now), but if you have a 2021 ‌iPad Pro‌, you will need to make sure you're getting the 2021 Magic Keyboard. The updated 12.9-inch Magic Keyboard released in 2021 is, however, backwards compatible with the 2020 model. The Magic Keyboard for the 11-inch model is unchanged and is compatible with both the 20 ‌iPad Pro‌ models, but that's not the case for the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ models.Īpple's 2021 ‌iPad Pro‌ is 0.5mm thicker than the 2020 ‌iPad Pro‌ due to the inclusion of a mini-LED display in the new model, so the first-generation Magic Keyboard for ‌iPad Pro‌ will not fit the 2021 ‌iPad Pro‌ models. The first Magic Keyboard was released for the 2020 ‌iPad Pro‌ models in March of 2020, and a second-generation version came out in April 2021. Below, we've included multiple review videos, and a list of sites with full reviews of the Magic Keyboard. Another complaint included the lack of function keys on the keyboard, preventing users from controlling things like key brightness. Reviewers found the trackpad to be a little bit small in comparison to the trackpad on a MacBook, but said that it works smoothly and is superior to the trackpad on Microsoft's Surface machines. As mentioned above, the 12.9-inch model paired with a Magic Keyboard is heavier than a MacBook Air. The biggest complaint about the Magic Keyboard has been the weight, which adds quite a lot of bulk to the ‌iPad Pro‌. Reviews of the Magic Keyboard for the ‌iPad Pro‌ have been largely positive, and many reviewers have been impressed with the key feel and the quality and functionality of the trackpad. In the guide below, we cover everything we know about Apple's Magic Keyboard, including compatible devices, feature set, and more. In 2021, Apple debuted a second-generation 12.9-inch version that works with the 2021 ‌iPad Pro‌.
