Does this Magic Keyboard work with the iPad Pro and iPad Air?

The 13-inch MGYY4LL/A model fits the 13-inch iPad Pro (M4) and 13-inch iPad Air (M2 and later). It does not fit older 12.9-inch iPad Pro models or any other tablet.

Does it have a function row or Escape key?

No. The 13-inch Magic Keyboard has no function row and no dedicated Escape key. The 11-inch version does include a function row.

How is it powered and charged?

It has a built-in battery that charges over USB-C through a pass-through port on the hinge, so you can charge the iPad and keyboard with one cable.

Does it protect the iPad?

It covers the front and back of the iPad when closed and folds into a stand, but it has no edge protection and is not rated for drop protection.

Is the 13-inch Magic Keyboard worth it?

It is the best typing and trackpad option for a 13-inch iPad, but it costs about as much as a budget laptop. Buy it if you type a lot on the iPad; otherwise a cheaper third-party keyboard covers basic needs.

Are the keys backlit?

No. This 13-inch model has no backlight, so you rely on the screen or room light when typing in the dark.

How does it connect to the iPad?

It connects over the iPad's Smart Connector through the hinge, not Bluetooth, so it pairs as soon as the iPad is attached and needs no separate charging cable for the keyboard itself.
