This is literally my
Most expensive Father’s Day gift. He’s going to freak out. He’s an architect set to retire in 8-10 years. Dudes been rocking a 6th gen with the old pencil. Now it’s all updated 11inch pro, magic key and the pencil pro! All still in the their respective boxes.
Thanks for your help in making me a bit broke 🤣 looking forward to seeing pops lose his marbles trying to figure out Apple intelligence.
TREAT YO DAD!!!!!
Excellent review! I loved that you addressed the wobbliness of the Magic Keyboard, which is something I've only seen one other reviewer do so far!
I'm loving the keyboard in the black and haven't had issues keeping it clean so far. Also, I agree that it's top heavy but I enjoy using it on my lap. It's definitely improved from the last Gen.
Far and away, the best, most honest review of the Magic Keyboard so far! I subscribed.
I really can’t grok how in beta, Apple’s designers didn’t notice the top-heavy, falling backwards when mounting the iPad, and concluded, “That’s good enough for a $300+ release anyway.” Did they even test it with an M4 iPad mounted? For me, it’s a dealbreaker.
With each release, Apple makes their iPads more “laptop-like.” How could they not consider how it works in your “lap?”
I just upgraded to a 13” M4 and this is my first Magic Keyboard. I specifically went to the Apple Store to try the new model out before making a decision. I have the Logitech keyboard combo on my old M1 and liked it, but the Magic Keyboard is definitely a better typing experience and feels more ‘solid’. The connection for the Logitech keyboard is kinda flimsy and results in the keyboard shifting when using in my lap. I did like that it has a case for the iPad, which the Magic Keyboard does not. I figured I’d try it out for the 2 week return period and I quickly decided that I really like it and use it way more than I thought it would or than I did with the Logitech. The price is ridiculous, but it really is a nice piece of kit. I’m pretty sure I’m going to keep it at this point, but recommend if anyone is on the fence, you have two weeks to return with no questions from Apple, so try it out and return if you really don’t like it or can’t justify it.
For me, the difference and took time to get use to was the circle vs the arrow, that is typically used in computers.
You are very pleasant to listen to and watch. Subscribed
Regarding the accuracy of the trackpad I think you're referring to the trackpad inertia. When you move the mouse on a Mac it stops immediately when you stop. On an iPad it continues moving for a bit. If you go into system settings and search for inertia you can toggle this off so that it acts like a Mac cursor.
Terren Rule, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
Thank you :)
Why is no one asking for feet on this keyboard case!? They could make the back feet bigger so the weight is pushed forward a bit.
That’s a good suggestion!
the wobble is annoying but not a deal breaker for me. for my purposes, the keyboard makes the ipad pro a full scale computing machine. Great video
I buy a iPad to be tablet. A keyboard is a nice bonus but definitely not for this price 😅
Haha ya this thing is expensive!!
Just get the cheaper version
The iPad 10th gen and the magic
Keyboard foilo
@@TerrenRuleI bought the 249 dollar Magic Keyboard for my M4
I bought the 11 inch iPad Pro M4 and the white magic keyboard to go with my M4 oled 😃
I bought the Magic Keyboard in 2021 and now it’s a space filler in my cabinet
Nice review! I can't see any reason to ditch my M1 Pro and "old Magic Keyboard" for the M4 and it's keyboard though but I like your videos.
Understandable! And thank you :)
Great video, very helpful. Thank you. I enjoyed your feedback too. I hope Apple is watching and listening.
I got a Magic Keyboard today. I had a couple other versions made by other manufacturers. The apple keyboard is 1000 times better. The others are cheap feeling. Also… the “when you touch the screen it falls over” is exaggerated. Majorly exaggerated. I am keeping the apple Magic Keyboard. It’s fantastic.
I'm a big fan of the separated external BT keyboard and ipad on stand:
For one, it's more ergonomic to have the iPad a bit higher and a bit behind the keyboard.
Also, it's way more affordable than the Apple Magic Keyboard: there are lots of affordable BT keyboards that a great typing experience, backlit keys, and a rock solid connection to the iPad. There are lots of very affordable stands, including portable ones.
The keyboard and portalbe stand I purchased together weigh slightly less than the new Magic Keyboard. The stand folds nearly flat and both fit quite easily in my bag along with my M4 iPP.
My total cost was around $125 for the stand & keyboard.
What I give up with this combo is the cool factor of the Apple Magic Keyboard and the convenience of having everything in one slim package.
Only you can decide if those things are important enough to spend more than double. But for me, the ergonomics are the deciding factor. My workdays include many hours sitting at a desk. Tipping my head down to look at an iPad screen that is low and right next to my hands when typing isn't comfortable after a half hour or so.
So I'm happy to pass on the Apple Magic Keyboard. But I know it'll be a great option for many. It's very well-made, it "just works," (and works really well), and you get the convenience and cool factor, both of which are worth paying money for.
I got my new iPad Pro 4 a few days ago. I’m glad I splurged for the magic keyboard. I had a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. It was OK, but the magic keyboard is better in so many little ways. I typically use my tablet while laying on my back, with the keyboard sitting between my stomach and chest. It is a little wobbly, but not too bad. On the rare occasions I use it in my lap, I will need to prop it up with something near the front. maybe some third-party will come up with gizmo that stays attached to the bottom of the keyboard just for that purpose - maybe 1 inch rubber wedge or something.
Since I already had an Apple bluetooth keyboard, a Logitech Pebble mouse, and an inexpensive stand I decided to operate on the cheap.
I have the one for the 11 inch iPad Pro. I really like it after using it for a few days, but still a little bit concerned if the aluminum or something on it like dust will scratch the screen. The rubber around the keyboard does not really prevent the display glass to touch the aluminum in the trackpad area… The glass really touches the surface. At the moment it seems we have no keyboard gate and I really hope it stays like that.
Very good point, which I hadn’t thought of.
Cursor moment can be disable, I think in accessibility, which may better mirror computer cursors.
What do you think of the new Magic Keyboard for the M4 iPad Pro? :)
Compare it to the new older model
I picked up my first magic keyboard with my 2020 iPad Pro, just a few months after I purchased my 2020 MacBook Pro for $2000. Let’s just say that the MacBook Pro has less than 100 battery cycles in 2024. I now have a 2023 iPad Pro with magic keyboard and it’s pretty much all I use. I only pull out the MacBook Pro for certain things when absolutely necessary. I run my business on the iPad Pro, and now I do most of my recording in pro logic and video work in Final Cut Pro on the iPad.. and I do own Logic Pro on desktop. I really think iPads are the future. I only wish they would come up with a hybrid OS to be more compatible with some websites..
Just like @DjangoGreen, I wanted a tablet due to the benefits tablets have over laptops (iPADOS, touch screen, lightweight, ability to work while holding the device with one hand etc.). I've never had any desire to try and make my tablet a laptop. Dictation and the on screen keyboard, is good enough for me when away from home. A bluetooth keyboard (MX Keys Mini) and mouse (MX 3) sits on the desk at home for heavy duty work. Enjoyed the video! 👍🙏
You to adjust the trackpad speed to your timing, the one come from fabric is not quiet accurate
I went to buy the M4 13 iPad... and I ended up leaving. I will be buying the M2 iPad 12.9 SOLELY because of the Magic Keyboard... (I had the M1 until it got stolen) What you complained about the tipping... well, the old design was infinitely better for that weight distribution. Also, the suggestions on the lower part of the touch screen of the iPad are a lot easier to tap with your fingertips without even moving your hands from the keyboard, again, with the older Magic Keyboard. I just cannot understand why would Apple have made it all worse with this new design.
Can you please tell me about your watch? I really like that
The reason I stayed away from the old Magic Keyboard and why I am considering this on is the weight. So for me to add "weight" for stability defeats the purpose. At that point I may as well just bring my MacBook Pro
Why do RUclipsrs feel the need to add the word “honest” in the title. Surely it is a given that a review is honest? And if a video is sponsored should the title be “my tainted view” or “my sellout view” ?
Most probably mean unbiased, it’s also another way to reel the viewer in
So the weight distribution is the different than on the first model? I use my magic keyboard almost daily with mi iPad Pro and i feel the balance perfect.
I bought the 11 inch iPad Pro M4 and the white Magic Keyboard to go with my M4 oled
The wobbly issue has been solved with iPad 10’s Magic Keyboard design
People have been buying the magic keyboard since it was released so I don't see why people would not buy it now as it's the same price for a better keyboard.
“Probably the most expensive keyboard you’ll consider buying”, *laughs in mechanical keyboard*
ESR rebound magnetic keyboard case is way better and less than half the price and the price
I hate it. It's heavy and I can't fold the keyboard to the back like I used to do with the iPad Pro 2018 + Smart Folio. When I read I have to take it off, since it doesn't stick on the portrait mode. I am going to go to a light cover plus a small and light bluetooth keyboard. It's going back.
Yes magic keyboad so Very expensive but it so cool for ipad pro ,And and and Has anyone noticed? The back of the ipad has a vertical logo, while the back of the magic keyboad is horizontal. Do you all think they forgot? or intend
I have this keyboard. I love it except for the fact that it tips over. That’s a pain.
Ipad Pro M4 11 or 13, which is better for students- mainly use for note taking and online classes
I'd say the 11" - I take notes for work and it's ideal when next to my laptop on my desk or when holding it. I tried out the 13" again in the store yesterday and it looks nice on the stand but for handheld use, I think it's too big for note taking.
I’m actually confused. I bought the 2024 iPad Air 13 with the $349 Magic Keyboard and it has no function keys. The $349 Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro has function keys. What gives?
Because the Magic Keyboard for the Air is the exact same keyboard of the previous iPad Pro line. The body of the Airs are the exact bodies of the old iPad Pros. The new Pros are thinner and thus need a new keyboard - which now has the function keys. And yes, the pencil Pro and the pencil second generation are the same price; as well as the new keyboard and old keyboard are the same price....ugh.
Is there any protective cases that are compatible with this
this is what i want to know
it is a case of
@@othmanx I understand that but I mean a case you put on the iPad that protects it ouside of Magic Keyboard/folio case, similar to a Phone case
The Magic keyboard is itself a protective case. I don’t think a separate protective case is needed, but there are many generic laptops sleeves that would give extra protection, if you wanted it.
That’s probably the best bet I was just wondering because I take my iPad out of the case a lot and want it to be protected in case of drops
I just buy ipad pro m4 13 inch what keyboard will you recommend to me?
get a white Magic Keyboard that’s what I got for my 11 inch iPad M4 😃
Yes
Best keyboard 😊
glove 80 and moonlander is better.
i’d dislike an all aluminum keyboard
and you would be one of one
@@robheb1355 LOL
$350 for a flimsy keyboard unit is disgusting price gauging from Apple. They know the iPad will flip over and hopefully it breaks &/or lose your Apple Pencil in hopes you will purchase another. Shows how much they care about their customers.
last gen was a waste orf money, this one is pretty good
