Our take on the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Air 13-inch (M2)

Apple's Magic Keyboard is a folio case with a full keyboard and trackpad that turns the 13-inch iPad Air (M2) into a laptop-style setup. It uses scissor switches, a backlit key layout and a floating cantilever hinge that lets you set the screen angle. The trackpad supports tap-to-click and gestures, and a USB-C pass-through port on the hinge charges the iPad. It has no number pad and no function row, and it is heavier and pricier than most third-party keyboard cases, but owners rate its typing feel and trackpad as the closest thing to a laptop on the iPad.
