    Customers have different views on the keyboard's quality. Some find it a great alternative to the Smart Keyboard, comfortable, and convenient for light typing. Others mention that the keys are not as responsive, hard, and constantly exposed.

    59 customers mention "Build quality"33 positive26 negative

    Customers have different views on the build quality of the keyboard. Some find it reliable and sturdy, with a magnetic attachment that is easy to detach. Others mention it's somewhat flimsy and tends to come apart. The material peels and falls apart, and there are design flaws that make it difficult to use.

    "...I don’t know how Apple made this thing so thin but sturdy. Also love that the outside of the case is not slick or slippery...." Read more

    Customers have mixed opinions about the magnet strength. Some say the magnets hold the iPad securely, and the magnetic closure is sturdy. Others mention that the magnets are not very strong, and the folding connection is not magnetic, so you'll have instances where the keyboard disconnects.

    "...The build is solid. Magnets secure it to the ipad’s front and back, and it feels as sturdy as a small laptop...." Read more

    "...The folding connection is not magnetic, so you'll have instances where the keyboard collapses on itself during use if the iPad gets jostled...." Read more

    27 customers mention "Keyboard size"15 positive12 negative

    Customers have different views on the keyboard size. Some find it compact and slim, adding minimal size to the iPad while providing a keyboard. Others find the keys too small and cramped, making typing difficult for larger hands.

      I enjoy traveling and I usually bring my MacBook Air with me. I bought iPad Gen 5 to replace my MacBook Air for better portability. This keyboard is very slim for minimal bulk. Plus the keyboard folio is lightweight making travel much more efficient and convenient. It is missing many features when compared to the other keyboards available for iPad but the portability of this keyboard is great for traveling. There is no pointer-mechanism, no function keys, and no shortcut keys. It is a bare minimalist keyboard.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Very light and great keyboard
      Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024
      Style: US EnglishColor: BlackVerified Purchase
      Super light, and the typing experience is very nice. I had heard mixed reviews about the typing and keys and was skeptical, but I like how light the keys are and I like the sound. They are also sealed off, so no worries with spilling anything into the keys. Great being able to fold the keyboard back and use as a normal iPad.
      No trackpad is completely fine. It's not a laptop, I like using the screen as a big phone anyway. No backlit keys doesn't bother me, since I don't look at the keyboard while I type. I would definitely reccomend this to someone over the magic keyboard. It fits my needs much better and is half the price.

      Updated after a few days' use.
      I probably wouldn’t like this keyboard quite so much if I hadn’t spent the last few weeks struggling with a Chesona keyboard, which would not hold a Bluetooth connection to save its life (the company even sent a replacement, which didn’t work any better). I am not sure what the technology is on this keyboard, but it works without Bluetooth, so hallelujah to that.
      I also like that it’s very lightweight, compared to the Chesona keyboard. That is important to me, but the downside is that I can understand what the other reviewers were complaining about in terms of it not providing much protection. The magnets that hold it to the iPad are not commandingly strong, so if I were to drop it, the keyboard would probably separate from the iPad before or after impact. On the other hand, it will provide protection from scratches and whatnot while it’s in a bag, which is a more likely threat.
      I bought this rather than the higher priced magic keyboard because I knew I would want to disable the touch pad anyway. Why pay extra for something I don't need or want?
      That about sums up the good news. The fact that it works is sort of a low bar, so I’m deducting a star for the ridiculous price, and a few other minor annoyances.
      Typing on it is more than a little awkward. Other reviewers complained that the keyboard is small, but — hello — it’s the same size as the iPad, so it is what it is. But, every few seconds the heel of my left hand would hit the emoji button at the bottom left corner. Fortunately for my sanity, I quickly figured out how to disable that button (in keyboard settings).
      There are obviously keyboard commands available (there are control, option, and cmd keys) but zero instructions on what they might be. Typical Apple. After a bit of Googling I found out if you hold the "cmd" button down for a few seconds you get a list of at least some of the commands. Who knew? (Maybe Mac users knew this.) I still don't know what the "control" and "option" keys do, though. And, the arrow buttons don't do what it seems like they should do. The main thing I'd want them to do is move around in, e.g., a book on the Kindle app. The left, up, and down buttons don't seem to do anything, while the right button takes you not to the next page, but the next chapter. Not particularly useful. There may be a way of changing what they do, but I haven't figured that out yet either.

      5.0 out of 5 stars OMG, amazing THIN keyboard case!
      Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2020
      Style: US EnglishColor: BlackVerified Purchase
      I balked at paying the high price, but I couldn’t find a cheap iPad Pro 11 2020 cover that was available in less than 3 weeks due to the coronavirus shipping slowdown on Amazon. After dropping my 10.5 and cracking the screen (open case, no screen protector), I didn’t want to take any chances with this new expensive tablet. I’m so happy I ordered this case (along with a glass screen protector!) and I got it in 2 days.

      The keyboard works great, no need to connect and reconnect. And you can fold it back for use without the keyboard, especially when in portrait mode. The build is solid. Magnets secure it to the ipad’s front and back, and it feels as sturdy as a small laptop. The keyboard is smaller than my Magic Keyboard but it takes no time at all to get used to this one. Keys aren’t as responsive but you get used to that too if you’re a good old school “typist” like me.

      I don’t know how Apple made this thing so thin but sturdy. Also love that the outside of the case is not slick or slippery. Feels velvety (not tacky) and secure in the hands or on a surface when folded closed. The only con you might see is the aluminum edges on 3 sides are not covered. But that leaves one long edge open for charging my pencil.

      I still feel the cost is high and I probably wouldn’t have considered this purchase if there were cheaper cases available in 2 days. But I’m actually glad I had to. And it will be great for travel. In the meantime I may never buy a cheaper everyday case for normal use. I like this one too much!

      5.0 out of 5 stars I actually prefer this over the Magic Keyboard
      Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2021
      Style: US EnglishColor: BlackVerified Purchase
      Before purchasing the Smart Keyboard, I had the Magic Keyboard with the trackpad but ended up selling it to purchase this. While the Magic Keyboard provided a better typing experience, the portability and the ability to turn the device into a writing device had its limitations. First and foremost, it serves as a protective shell, which it cannot do when you use the writing device as you must remove the case. Unless you just use your iPad to type, the Magic Keyboard isn’t worth your time.

      Now I return to the Smart Keyboard. The texture is unique; the external walls are silicone while the keyboard sports a rough yet soft material. The typing experience can best be described as “muted”. The keys are moderately tactile but mushy and silent in acoustics, which is a somewhat weird combination. The lack of a trackpad may make you yearn for more, but the cheaper price makes up for the sell-off.

      The ability to fold the case and use it for its original intention is a true selling point for myself and possibly to you. As much as I loved the look of a keyboard case sporting a trackpad, in full honesty, I stopped using the trackpad after a few days. The cheaper yet still relatively expensive price for the Smart Keyboard should be considered.

      Overall, I recommend the Smart Keyboard. If you must need a pointer, you can always pair the device with a bluetooth wireless mouse.

      I was humming and hahing about buying the keyboard, but if I’d bought a folio cover from Apple they are about seventy quid, so take that out of the equation and it then becomes very economically viable. The cover folds over the screen to protect it and when you get used to opening it then it is really quite easy to use. I really like the keyboard once I’d got used to the size and feel of the keys, I was trained to touch type when I was younger and it is a QWERTY layout which I get on with really well. I’ve had it two weeks and am a very happy user
