If these aren't an issue for you, it's one of the best keyboards for iPad that we've tested. It also lacks backlighting, so the keys are hard to see in the dark. It connects to any device via Bluetooth, but it only supports one device at a time which is disappointing if you have a multi-device setup. Besides the Touch ID, our results are valid for any of the models, and the typing quality feels great. To be safe, go for the variant without the Touch ID.

Touch ID only works on Mac computers with the new M1 chip, but we've read reports that even the new iPad Pro with the M1 chip doesn't support Touch ID. We tested the full-size version, but there are two different compact variants with and without the Touch ID support. It's the most recent release of the Magic Keyboard, replacing the Apple Magic Keyboard 2017, and it adds a few extra features and variants.

Also, its backlighting doesn't get too bright, so it might not be a good choice if you tend to work in the dark, as the key legends are harder to see. It could also result in more typos, especially if you're typing quickly since it's easier to nick a key on accident.

Also, while the folio offers additional protection on the iPad's back and front, it doesn't cover the sides. Unfortunately, it's only designed for iPads and can't connect to any other device like an iPhone. Also, if you tend to work at night, every key is individually backlit with a bright white, so they're very visible. There's also a USB-C port on the side of the keyboard, which you can use to charge your iPad. However, it does include a trackpad, so you don't always have to rely on the touchscreen for navigation.

Its design is similar to a MacBook keyboard, though it lacks dedicated media keys. The 11 inch model we tested is also compatible with the fourth-generation iPad Air.
