Does it fit the 9th generation iPad?

Yes. It is made for the 10.2-inch iPad and fits the 9th, 8th and 7th generation models.

Is the keyboard backlit?

No. The keys are not illuminated, so you will need some light to type in the dark.

It pairs over Bluetooth. There is no cable or dongle needed, and it works with the iPad's on-screen keyboard off.

No. It is keyboard only, so cursor work is done by tapping the iPad screen.

The case with the built-in keyboard and a charging cable. The iPad is not included.

It costs far less than Apple's Smart Keyboard, adds a full shortcut row and a protective folio, but it is thicker and heavier and has no backlight.
