When working with a tablet on a daily basis, we often encounter complex situations and scenarios that put the functionality of the tablet to the test. Good design consistently responds to such conditions. Against this backdrop, the Magic Keyboard impresses with stunning new solutions and its distinctive aesthetics. It is designed as a highly functional companion for the iPad Pro as well as the fourth-generation iPad Air. The Magic Keyboard is light and at the same time highly robust. It can be easily folded into an aesthetically looking case to provide front and back protection of the tablet for travelling. The keyboard itself fascinates with a smooth and floating cantilever design. The iPad can be conveniently attached magnetically and smoothly adjusted for the perfect viewing angle. The keyboard features backlit keys with a functional scissor mechanism to provide a precise typing experience and high comfort in use, which support smoother work processes. The full-size keys have a travel of 1 mm and allow for quiet and responsive typing. Integrated into the Magic Keyboard is a trackpad for multi-touch gestures, which opens up new ways of working with the iPadOS operating system. The USB-C port allows for pass-through charging.
