I’ve been using this Magic Keyboard for 3 years now. Around the same amount of time as this iPad Pro. And I have to say it’s served me well.
The Magic Keyboard mat be expensive but it provides one thing above and beyond a really nice backlit keyboard and nice trackpad, it provides the iPad Pro with an additional USB-C charging port, freeing the built-in port for external peripherals like hard drives.
Now, it’s not pretty. And if I met Tim Cook, I’d probably mention that these hardware peripherals in this soft plastic covering are not particularly durable or eco-friendly. I compare this to other materials which seem to be better with age.
But, other than that appearance, it’s functional. A better keyboard than the MacBook 12″. And the flexibility of the iPad with Magic Keyboard is hard to beat.
A quick Google sees that I’m not alone in this. I wonder if there’s a way to seal up these tatty edges or have it re-bound?
