The Magic Keyboard provided a proper typing experience and supplied a good trackpad bundled with excellent build quality. While providing many features which users wanted, there were some downsides to it. The Magic Keyboard was met with mixed reviews. Though initially expected to launch in May 2020, orders shipped starting in late April 2020. The Magic Keyboard is supported by all iPad Pro devices introduced since 2018.

Using an HDMI cable, users can connect their iPad to another display, such as a computer, laptop, or television.
