We’ve seen Apple’s iPad Pro series to be quite expensive and so is its accessories and its keyboard is one of them. With its silent of the new iPad Pro (2020), Apple has also upgraded its signature Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro and included the much-asked trackpad support.
Apple has finally added a trackpad to its all-new official keyboard accessory, thanks to the new iOS 13.4 update that will help users to use the trackpad while interacting with the iPad Pro.
This all-new keyboard has ditched the infamous butterfly mechanism in favour of Apple’s revised Magic Keyboard scissor-switch. Obviously, Apple had to tweak its keyboard so that it stays in line with the touch-first approach which it has always supported for its iPad range.
The Magic keyboard is quite costly than its standard keyboard because of the new scissor-switch mechanism found on the new 16-inch MacBook Pro which increases key travel to 1 mm.
Also, the keys now feature backlighting and do feature a USB Type-C port that has been added to one side of the keyboard which in-turn enables the iPad Pro to be charged and leaves the iPad Pro’s USB Type-C port for other purposes.
The signature inclusion of the “click-anywhere” trackpad allows for full cursor control which should make it easier to edit spreadsheets and text. It also supports the multi-touch gestures which MacBook users would be familiar of but designed for the new iPad UI. These gestures will allow users to switch between apps, activate the Dock, Control Center and apps in Slide Over as well.
The Magic keyboard case enables the iPad Pro to literally ‘float’ above the keyboard for a smooth angle adjustment. This actually suggests that there will no longer be a slot on the keyboard to support the iPad in place which seems cool.
This new Magic keyboard which looks quite interesting on paper has been priced at $299 (Rs.27,900 in India) for the 11-inch iPad Pro and $349 (Rs.31,900 in India) for the 12.9-inch version but it will only be available in May 2020.
