Keyboard Case for iPad Air 11-inch (M3 2025 / M2 2024) & iPad Pro 11 inch(1st/2nd/3rd/4th Generation) – Magic-Style Magnetic Keyboard Case with Multi-Touch Trackpad for 10.9” iPad Air 4th/5th Gen.

This keypad is very high quality- ie: strong magnetic hold to your iPad, keys have a nice “feel”, light up keypad.Super easy to connect to your iPad’s Bluetooth and keypad holds a good charge for a long time. I did not consider the keypad itself needed a charge as well and I thought it was broken but learn from my mistake- it’s likely not broken just needs charged with the same cord you use for your iPad. If it stops working, definitely try plugging in the keyboard, then once it is charged back up hold fn+c to pair it.

Product is slick, clean, and very easy to use. It allows you to easily type and use your iPad as if it was a laptop. The runelk also acts as a great stand for you to watch videos and shows on your iPad.

First off, a few parameters so you can get the context of my review of this product; I'm an Apple guy. I don't get the newest and greatest everytime something comes out but I've got something of everything they offer except for a laptop (our office compatibility with Macbooks is sketchy so I haven't dived in, but everyone who has one brings their's to me if there's a problem).Having said that, I detest the design of Apple's Magic Keyboard. When I was looking at getting a 12" iPad Pro some child at the Apple Store tried to sell me on the design. I have an Apple Smart Keyboard on my iPad and have for years. I can flip the keyboard out of the way while walking around and presenting and still have the keyboard and protection attached. The Magic Keyboard you have to either abandon the keyboard and remember where it's at to circle around back to it or just not use it and have your iPad be practically naked in your hands with no protection. First world problems, right? I find the overall design to be a struggle to get my head around.So it was with much sadness that I buried my Apple Smart Keyboard after a coworker dumped a White Chocolate Mocha on it. Somehow the iPad survived, but the keyboard didn't. So I decided to get over my misgivings about the Magic Keyboard and try one out. For $300 on an iPad Pro that's 4 years old now, I couldn't see it. So I started looking at refurbed and knock off brands. The knock off brands intrigued me the most because it turns out there really isn't much of a refurb market for these, at least when I was checking.This keyboard hit all of my milestones, it was around $100 and had some good reviews so I took the plunge. Overall, I'm ok with this keyboard. As far as convenience and design it's been every bit as disappointing as I expected it to be, but I did buy a slim sleeve the at least protect my ipad from scratches when I pop it off the keyboard for presentations and walking around. The design isn't this manufacturer's fault, they just copied Apple's design, and honestly they did it pretty well. There's no pass through charging which is the single biggest different between this and an Apple Magic Keyboard, but the fit, finish and quality are all pretty good. The keys respond well and have good feedback, which feels good to me. Charging is easy, just a type C plug so I have one already. The finish is fairly easy to keep clean and the huge plus is having a backlit keyboard. If Apple ever did a backlit Smart Keyboard I'd be there, but they never did and I didn't realize how often I needed backlit until I didn't have backlit. This keyboard is bright enough to see without being overpowering so that's a win in my book.The touch pad is really nice on this, and for a sure a highpoint. I've notice it picks up my thumb when I rest it on there while typing, so the sensitivity is really good and you can use multi touch gestures on it very effectively for zooming and pinching, etc. No complaints there at all. The keyboard "wakes up" and re-pairs up with the iPad fairly seamlessly and quickly which surprised me. I've only waited a second once or twice for the keyboard to respond which I assumed would be a big problem with a non Apple product, it was nice that it didn't become an issue.Overall, for the price it's a win, so I gave it 4 stars. I can't ever give anything that's based off this overall design 5 stars because someone at the Apple Design Bureau should get slapped for the design of this keyboard but that's not this manufacturer's fault. They've done a good job getting the idea down at a reasonable price point so overall I'd recommend this if you're looking to get one.

Compact, easy to set up and use. Has a lighted Compact, easy to set up and use. Has a lighted keyboard and works great.

This is a great keyboard! It is high quality, thin, and well designed! Thank you for making it work on my M3 iPad Air.

Great keypad. Easy to connect with all relevant directions on stickers on the keypad. The trackpad is great and the case is incredible sturdy. Fantastic. Fast to set up! No issues.

Love my little keyboard! Doesn’t feel or look cheap! Easy to sync up and easy to use! Battery has lasted a long time! Haven’t charged it since I set it up! Makes my iPad feel like a small laptop! Super convenient!

I got an iPad as a gift, but I have not been utilizing it as much as I'd like to. I decided the best thing I could do was get a keyboard case and take it with me on the go in place of a computer. While the Apple Magic Keyboard looks incredible and I'm sure is worth the price, I am not really in a position to drop $300 on a keyboard case at this moment and was looking for something more cost effective. I've only had this keyboard case for a couple of days, so keep that in mind, but so far I am really loving it!My iPad Air fits perfectly in it and the magnets holding the iPad in place feel strong, I have zero concern about that. Everything seems very stable, well thought out, and sturdy. It's very sleek and does not take up much room in my purse at all. I had no issues with the initial pairing and every time I open it up, it's immediately connected. No issues with that so far. I think there is a learning curve with the keyboard features and shortcuts, but I am figuring it out and enjoying everything so far. I love that I can keep the backlight off of the keyboard so it doesn't drain the battery, but turn it on and control the brightness when necessary. It's also very easy to change the trackpad setting so a tap registers as a click. I was a bit annoyed having to physically press down to click, especially coming from laptops where you tap the trackpad to click. But the case actually came with a FAQ sheet that explains how to do it, and it includes a handy chart of keyboard shortcuts which is helping me get used to it. Typing on the keyboard itself has been fine, it is smaller than my computer and work laptop keyboards (naturally), but it also doesn't feel too jarring transitioning to the smaller keyboard.The keyboard case itself must be charged separately from the iPad, it does not charge the iPad with the pass through charging, which I believe the Apple Magic Keyboard does. For me this is not an issue at all, I don't really mind charging them separately and both the keyboard and the iPad use the same charging cable. I can't comment on how the battery life is so far, but I can update my review after a few months of use. So far, I fully charged it and have spent some time off and on using it, but the iPad shows a completely full charge still. Judging from other reviews, it seems like battery life is long and will be fine for what I need.I'll be honest, for the price I am really happy and incredibly impressed with this. I was making this purchase with the intention of eventually upgrading to the Apple keyboard. But now I'm not so sure I would even want to upgrade, I really do like this and it's $200 cheaper than the Apple keyboard. Yes, you sacrifice some features as a result, but honestly none of them seem all that huge. And since I've never used the Apple Magic Keyboard, those couple of features that I am missing seem negligible to me at this point. It definitely seems worth the money I paid and I'm very satisfied!Edit 9/21/23 - I’ve been using this case since mid July and I’m still satisfied and have had no issues! I fully charged it upon receiving the case, have not charged it since, and I think it’s at like a 80-90% charge still. So battery life has been really great so far.
