I love this product & the way it connect to the iPad. Simple to use, very dependable. Typing feels good and smooth just like you are typing on a real key board. Direct connection to the iPad is great it alleviate any connection with other type of keyboards using bluetooth and free your Bluetooth connection to other accessories like external sound system. I love the fact I can type on a key board while using touch to navigate on the screen. The two issues I do not like about this keyboard are; hence the 4 stars rating: 1. The additional thickness (not consistent throughout the cover) when you fold the keyboard in the close position; 2. The cost of the product is very high in comparison to comparable product in the market. I believe that Apple should reevaluate their pricing strategy for this product and make it more accessible to buyers.;Read full review

At first I was really excited for it - hard to find a SmartConnector keyboard for an old iPad Pro. When I first bought my iPad Pro, I got a Logitech SmartConnect keyboard for it, which I thought was tremendous. It gave out after about 3 years and is no longer made. I bought a Lenrich USB keyboard to replace it, which was heavy as a pig but worked okay. When it gave out, I looked for another SmartConnector keyboard. I found this on eBay and thought I'd give it a shot. It arrived okay and was in good condition. When I first used it, I noticed a subtle warp. It wouldn't sit solidly on a table. Irritating, but no big deal. A few months in, I started getting messages from iOS saying "accessory not supported." If I wiggled it around enough, I could get it to work but it seemed the contacts were no longer secure. Those messages got more and more obnoxious until I just replaced it with another Lenrich USB keyboard... Read full review

The Apple keyboard is designed for the iPad Pro, and that makes all the difference. Pros: 1. The Pro 13 is 50% heavier than the Pro 9.7. Non-Apple keyboards must carry their own battery on board, adding weight to the complete Pro 13 assemblage. The Apple keyboard takes its power from the Pro 13 without any additional on-board battery. 2. The keyboard is completely sealed, so fluids will not be a problem if spilled, even directly on the keyboard. Every drop of that Starbucks coffee counts, and it would be a real shame if your $150 investment were to fail through an accidental spill. 3. The keyboard holds solidly to the Pro 13 with magnets, and it is convenient to fold up into a small footprint for transport in my attaché case. Cons: 1. The caps lock key is large, and I hit it unintentionally frequently. Bummer, adds to the corrections that I must make to any document that I am typing. 2. Not backlit. This does not make a lot of difference to me, because I do not often type in low light, but it could be a problem for some. Would I buy it again? Yes. It's a bit pricey at $150, but I think it completes the package perfectly. Mine is space gray, and I have a space gray silicone cover on the backside of the Pro 13, perfectly matched, very good looking, very light for a 13 inch computer.Read full review

As I am using the keyboard currently, it does definitely add nice functionality to the iPad Pro. I don't use it all that often, so for me it is not a tremendous help. I feel that it does do a good job at what is was designed for, namely for allowing quicker and easier type input with a keyboard feel without losing the iPad Pro utility. It is neat how it charges off of the little connections along the long edge of the iPad, so you never have to plug it in. It also connects automatically and flawlessly everytime I use it. Getting it to set up correctly feels a bit wonky to start, but once I figured it out I can do it now without thinking much about it. Over all it is a good keyboard and cover. You will be hard pressed to equal its quality and seamless integration with anything non-Apple.

I tried two other keyboards mainly because this one wasn't available for four weeks. This is the keyboard I should have waited for because the iPad pro is already pretty heavy and the other keyboards added a lot of weight. This keyboard is very well constructed and extremely light weight. It lacks a couple of features the other keyboards had that are very nice, but the fact that it is lightweight overrides the fact that It does not have the other features. I love it and have used only this one since receiving it. I would purchase this product again, even though it is overpriced, and would highly recommend it to anyone needing a keyboard for their iPad Pro.

I love this keyboard! It feels like silk to the touch and keys are just the right size! I bought the silicone cover that matches the keyboard perfectly! The combination looks like one complete unit. The silicone cover and the keyboard work inconjunction with keeping the iPad Pro protection totally encased in silicone. It is a must buy together pairing! The iPencil has been my latest accessory to compliment my iEverything! Apple has distinguished themselves apart from everyone else. They know what looks good together... I'm totally satisfied!

I've been thoroughly impressed with Apple's Smart Keyboard. It features a minimalist, svelte design that reveals an obsession with details. The unique conductive fabric that Apple has created is very innovative and allows two-way exchange of both power and data. And the laser ablated custom-woven fabric of the keyboard has a great feel to it; it is also water and stain resistant. The proximity of the screen in "type" mode allows you to transtion from typing to touching the screen seamlessly. In this way, using iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard seems very intuitive. When looking at cost, this keyboard provides value far beyond it's price. If you're looking for an extroadinarily funcitional keyboard that also features unparalleled, first in class design, this is the keyboard for you.

I've tried two solutions for a keyboard for my iPad Pro: the Logitech and the Apple bluetooth keyboard. Both were just "ok." The Logitech makes the iPad Pro just too heavy and cumbersome; the Apple keyboard doesn't take advantage of the Pro's connector for power and interface, needing the Bluetooth connectivity. So, I decided to try the Apple cover/keyboard cover designed for the Pro, a solution that I had initially turned down when I purchased the Pro. With a discounted price on eBay it was worth a try as I'm in the middle of a large writing project. I was not disappointed! In terms of product integration and writing comfort I like the Apple solution the best. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it doesn't cover the back of the iPad and closing and opening it is a bit tricky the way it folds up and magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro. However, this is the solution I'll continue using as my writing tool and it makes a nice combo with the Apple Pencil as well.Read full review

Good value for this compared to new in-store. Works perfect so far and good quality. Need to buy back cover separately though - be aware of that. Doesn’t add too much weight which is nice. Keyboard is great to type on except keys are not backlit and have no volume control buttons.

I was blown away to successfully find what I was looking for to replace my inoperable keyboard that I bought with the first generation IPad Pro (2015). Apple passed me off to Logitech for a high quality Bluetooth version that also featured backlit keys, nice but considerably smaller in scale than the screen. I have huge bear paws so functionality was a bit crammed🤨 EBAY offered several options ranging from used to open box to a brand new sealed original Smart Keyboard. This was an awesome find in that Apple has advanced several generations since and of course, nothing later is compatible. Thanks a buzzillion EBAY and high kudus for sponsoring the seller who was dazzling in delivering this product😁
