Is the Apple Magic Keyboard worth it??
Personally when seeing the Logitech Combo touch my answer is
“Well yes but no”
“But still yes”
Depends if you wish to use the pencil to draw/take notes or not.
@@vtv8man If I do ?
I got the white magic keyboard definitely worth the money
@@d0rzA If you do have a look at Logitech Combo Touch keyboard. Determine if this is a better setup if you draw or take notes a lot with the pencil. I went this way as the keyboard is still great but I can have an elevated iPad for drawing and hand written notes.
The down side is the Magic keyboard is better for use whilst on your lap but that’s not important for me.
That boy sounds like a good Salesman to me ……. Just purchased a keyboard after this video!!
That “boy” sounds like a grown man.
Absolutely agree with everything you said. I just got the Magic Keyboard and it has raised my iPad usage by a LOT! It makes everything easier and it’s very much worth the price.
Thank You - Just purchased the Magic Keyboard for my IPad Pro 11” 128 & being rather tech illiterate & in my 70’s I found this video very helpful!
If you take the iPad out of the keyboard case, close the keyboard case and put the tablet on the ‘logo side’ with the case hinge at the bottom (for landscape mode) you can use the magnets inside the case to hold the iPad place and use the iPad in ‘notebook’ mode. The magnet isn’t as strong as it is in ‘laptop’ mode but it’ll do with keeping the iPad from sliding around whilst you draw/note take and solves having to stick the keyboard case somewhere if you are on the go. 😊
👌🏽🤓
This. This solved my dilemma of figuring out what supplemental case to buy. Thank you!!!
Got my first Apple Magic Keyboard today and agree 100%. I just wish Apple would cut the price in half. It’s so good that I feel many more people should have the chance to own it.
It’s $550 in Australia
I upgraded to the M1 11inch. It’s been worth it, and I'm glad I didn’t have to buy another and that I could use the one I already had. Great video man!
Agree with you. Got one today and I can already see how much more this device can do.
Just learning to use my mine. Love it so far!
Great vid! Probably put me over the top on picking this up.
Thanks for the excellent review!! Appreciate it very much
Very well said! And I’m getting one. Thanks for sharing😄
This video was a great help! I have a case similar from Amazon but there are somethings that I didn’t mind in the beginning but after using an off brand from Amazon it’s just not as functional as I thought it was when I first got it. So I’ve been debating on the magic keyboard which brought me to this video and by half way I was sold on it lol I love the non Bluetooth connectivity of it! It’s seriously those little preferences of details that matter! Thank you for making this video, can’t wait to be able to get my own magic keyboard
Love it! Looking at picking one up for an on the go experience
Just got mine today.. Been holding back on this for a while. Finally got the courage to get one and oh boy is this thing amazing!! I was using the slim folio.
Love your review convinced me to buy it.
I recently traded in my 16” MBP for the new iPad Pro since they’re not supporting intel ones as much and got this with it. It’s a really good combo and have been enjoying it a lot more than the laptop. My first ever iPad.
Nice man, hopefully iPad OS increases it's capaiblity to really take advantage of the M1 processor in the new iPad Pro!
I currently have an IPad Pro and no laptop. I was going to buy the new m1 MacBook Air but I went to the store and didn’t like how small it is. I’d rather wait and spring for the new 14 or 16 in MacBook Pros expected to come out at the end of the year or early next so I was thinking buying the magic keyboard in the interim to make this my laptop for now, I’d mostly be using it for Microsoft Office 365, zoom meetings and sales software. Do you think this combo of iPad Pro and keyboard will be sufficient to tied me over?
@@JSLReview yeah, right now the M1's power is wasted on the iPad, due to iPad os software
Same. Im selling my 2017 13 inch MBP and getting the M1 iPad Pro. iPadOS 16 will make it worth it.
This is such a great review! Everything I needed to know and more! Really detailed and beautiful camera work! I’m so excited for my new magical keyboard to arrive tomorrow! Thanks JSL - never normally leave a review but had to on this one! Just brilliant!
Appreciate the feedback, glad the video is still helpful even though I made it a while back!
Thnx J. I totally agree. Yes…it’s expensive but the feel, the experience, the quality is second to none. Just got it last weekend, but certainly no regrets. This is now my replacement for my iMac. Combined with a external hard disk on the usb c port. All best from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Europe. 😁🖐
I got it today when I got my iPad Pro I got the 256gb 11 inch 3rd generation and I must say this track pad ( I got the white magic keyboard) this was the best apple product I ever got period lol thank u for helping me get familiar with it.
Great video! Thanks
Very nice review, i just got mine, i was really thinking about it because is a very expensive keyboard, but i think is worth every penny, i was looking into the other ones but nothing close to the functionality of this one, love it
I love my magic keyboard ! It looks even better with my space grey 12.9 iPad Pro !
I just got the White Magic keyboard for my 2018 iPad Pro - yes it is very expensive but it really does transform the iPad experience and is totally worth it.👍
Oh yes it takes it up to another level of usefulness
I just purchased the Ipad 12.9 with magic key board and I love it. It's with the money. First class all the way.
Just ordered mine today. Don’t need it… but I want it. They go together. If you’re really into your gear then you want that unification between items made for each other. Can’t wait for it to come.
Thanks for the very insightful review… after trying out different accessories to mimic the functionality of the Apple Magic Keyboard (e.g Separate aluminum stand, separate carrying and protective case, Bluethtooth mechanical keyboard and an Apple Trackpad), I think the all in one solution does make sense (case protection, portability and cost). Good point on how well Apple OEM accessories work/interact with Apple devices. Only issue or limitation I guess of this keyboard is when you are planning to use it in Portrait mode (better camera angle for video calls, apps that do not work with landscape mode)… but overall I think this is a value add accessory. Thanks again. Might finally purchase one :)
Love your content!🤩😎🥰
Definitely a great buy. It cannot replace my Macbook Air but for its portability and for what it can do that regular laptops can't, I have zero regret for buying one. I agree that typing on the Magic Keyboard is addictive.
The magic keyboard is amazing, it changed the way I use my IPad 11
It really does take it to the next level
I have a 16 inch MBP I got 18 months ago but since then I got the 2021 12.9 inch ipad pro along with the magic keyboard and I barely touch my MBP as much as I use to. The magic keyboard changes everything with the ipad.
Love the Apple Magic Keyboard on my 12.9" device. Thx✌🏾
Glad to hear you love it, I still use mine everyday!
I got an Amazon one at first then bought the apple magic key board when it was on sale and let me tell you I should of gone for the magic apple keyboard from the start it was amazing
I bit the bullet and bought one during the many U.S. sales on the Black Magic Keyboard for $199 USD. I haven't touched my windows laptop since using the Magic Keyboard. Only thing I noticed is the battery of my iPad Air 4 does drain faster but that's because I like to have the keyboard backlighting on. You can turn the backlighting off in the ipad's settings for better batterylife. Also, 3:01 this usb-C charging port on the Magic Keyboard charges the iPad fairly quick but I do notice it charges a bit slower than charging using the ipad's Usb C port even when I used the same USB C charger for both. Not sure what the max watts is but it's just something I noticed.
I just got my magic keyboard and I’m loving it!!!! 😄👍🏾
I got a iPad Air yesterday and the folio touch case but I’m thinking about getting the magic keyboard instead, what do you think
Very nice!!
I just ordered one today
Best review ever seriously
Glad the video is still providing value, thanks for watching!
I’m so late to the game, but after two years I FINALLY purchased mine about 2-3 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier! It’s amazing for sure. Worth the price, maybe not, but its awesome just the same. The price is what held me back for the past two years. I recommend for sure!
Better late than never, glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
I love the magic keyboard makes such a difference I got the white hope it still looks good in a year.
Does it still look good now?
@@orvvro i used the black one (first gen) for like one hour and it got dirty (and i am a clean neat freak). I returned the black one because i felt i didn’t need it at that time. Now i own the white one (had it for a week) and it looks perfect! I have also heard others say the white one i better in this aspect.
It's Worth it Thanks
I currently have an IPad Pro 12.9 and no laptop. I was going to buy the new m1 MacBook Air but I went to the store and didn’t like how small the screen is, considering I already have this iPad it’s not much different. I’d rather wait and spring for the new 14 or 16 inch powerful M1 MacBook Pros expected to come out at the end of the year or early next so I was thinking of buying the magic keyboard in the interim to make this my laptop for now, I’d mostly be using it for Microsoft Office 365, zoom meetings and sales software. Do you think this combo of iPad Pro and keyboard will be sufficient to tied me over until the new macs are announced or should I buy a cheap PC in the meantime?
Welp im purchasing. my new iPad Pro comes in next Friday and this video was in my feed it’s a sign 😊
Google algorithms at work?
Hi, well said ..sir…
I was faced some problems …the following ones-it doesn’t support my university applications …my app asking -should be need desktop version..plz sort my problems if you know
Thank you for understanding
Just got the iPad Pro M1…. Might need to snag this for work purposes.
Do you know if the 6th Gen iPad Pro keyboard work on the 5th gen iPad Pro? Great video!👍
Soooooooo worth it! Transformational
Hi there at the 3:33 mark what iPad was that. I noticed it was gold? Also I take it it was attached to the Magic Keyboard
Can ya mention anything about the use of the Apple Pencil and this keyboard cover? Seeing if i can use both at the same time.. i have both and seemingly only can use the magic keyboard but not the Apple Pencil at the same time (even though it’s recognized)
0 ill have to try it out more.. both at the same time.
Love mine worth every penny
hey mate, Is magic keyboard available for 1st generation ?
can we stick our IPAD at the back of our magic keyboard case for note taking. does it stick to the front side when we close the case...?? does the magnet work back side also..??? like when you close the case...the front side of the case does your ipad sticks so that your ipad is safe while writing...???
Thinking about getting the magic keyboard before I start college to go with iPad Pro and Apple Pencil but it’s a lot of money for me.
Great review! I still ended up ordering the Logitech Combo Touch.
Much better protection, offering the best combination of keyboard and protective case. The keyboard can be detached but also connected from behind so the full case protection is always there when you need it. Then there’s the function keys that allows for display, sound, brightness etc adjustments that the Magic keyboard does not offer. Then there’s the price. For over $100 cheaper you get more features and versatility. Superior value.
Nice but it lacks Apple Pencil holder. It should be fully enclosed to protect the iPad edges. However, if you attach Apple Pencil to the bottom edge, will you be able to successfully close the lid thus resolving my concern about not having a Pencil reservoir to conceal it?
I went with the Magic Mouse mouse 2 and the magic keyboard (the white separate one) for my iPad Pro because it was 180$ but I’m don’t know if i made the right choice.
Great review!
What word processor is that?
Love the white-on-black high contrast.
Probably google docs on night mode. It looks much like that
Love the content!
Appreciate it, thanks for the comment!
What mouse is recommended to go with it?
The keyboard is really amazing
Where did you get your ipad’s wallpaper from?
Really worth the money!
Coming from what productivity I could achieve with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and its keyboard, this is a step overall. There’s just a level of finish for the keyboard and the typing experience that I appreciate more instantly with the iPad Pro than Samsung.
Google and Android developers are to blame for software optimization, and Samsung has done a lot to enhance and improve the tablet experience, including screen technology. But, the iPad package is winning in my opinion. Appreciate the review!
Is it good for gaming?
Hi I purchased this keyboard for my iPad 11 pro but it does not illuminate and in settings-general- keyboard I don’t get a “hardware keyboard” setting so any ideas please?
I have an iPad Pro connected to mine but can’t get all the letters to type I even replaced
It thinking the first was defective, but I’m having the same trouble. Any suggestions? Guessing the answer is in the Settings somewhere but it’s beyond me.
I was able to buy one for my 12.9 inch XDR iPad Pro last weekend brand new which had a big discount at Best Buy for $199 on a 24hr sale. I love that keyboard on the iPad
I went in today and checked! Man you got lucky af.
How did you find out they were on sale?
@@Xs0 I saw it on their web page as deal of the day for 24hr on Saturday.
@@Xs0 it’s still on sale on Best Buy, i just ordered one. 😎
@@luisguate79 Nice! I just saw that it was back on sale again and was about to write you about it right now 😂.
@@ANGERINSIDE now I’m just waiting for my new iPad Pro with the M1 chip. 😎
I was never a big fan of iPad or tablets. The magic keyboard was the game changer for me. I love this thing
Definitely worth it
I got the iPad Air and should I get this keyboard, is it worth it over the folio touch and a higher price
I’ve been trying to talk myself into this keyboard. I think I won’t use it a lot. But I bet if I watch movies more or use Xcloud I’d probably use it more. I figure I might as well try. Good review. Most people are knocking this keyboard over price. And saying Logitech is most versatile. But I like the look of this one.
I 100% agree with the statement about the Logitech keyboard cases being more versatile. They actually offer protection to the iPad and can be used at a lot more angles than the Apple keyboard. They also use the smart connector and the Apple trackpad drivers so gestures work and feel just as great as the Magic Keyboard. Not to mention that it's much more friendly for artists since depending on what one you go with, you can either fold the keyboard behind the iPad where it automatically disconnects to prevent any accidental keypresses, or you can remove it entirely and use it without losing any protection. There's also a row of function keys for media control, brightness, etc. All of this and it STILL comes at a lower cost than what Apple is selling.
Most people criticising the device because of the price have never used it. Pretty sure almost anyone who’s used for just a day (a year in my case) forgets about the price immediately. Hopefully next update will have function keys and a silo for the pen.
The 11” Magic Keyboard (black color only) is $149 on Amazon now. I jumped on it at that price.
Same!
That was steal
Keybroad brand new. Not working. Do I need to plug it in and charge it? Saying ‘this assessors not supported’
Great review. I ordered my new iPad and the new Magic keyboard at the same time. I received the keyboard over a month ago, still waiting for the iPad. :)
Thanks for the feedback! It’ll all be worth it when the iPad gets in your hands!
About to buy! Hehe
Get a room… Also I can’t believe you actually said “milk” the iPad 6:50 😂
The only thing that I do not like about the Magic Keyboard case is the trackpad. For me the trackpad is just too small especially when using it to arrange the icons on your screen. I find myself using a third party mouse a lot with this case. I do agree that this case does offer the best typing experience for the iPad. The case also solidifies the iPad as the productivity device and in my opinion their is no third party keyboard that holds the same user experience as the Magic Keyboard case. I was fortunate enough to pick one up from Walmart for $199.
Just go to settings and change that
What widget is that clock on the main screen of the iPad?
Thanks for this! What kind of over ear headphones are those!?
Probably the Apple headphones, whatever they’re called
@@brittonkitten AirPods Max
You have certainly made a very convincing to spend the not inconsisderable funds on this accessory.i bought the Logitech because it is very well protected all over including the sides and corners which are pristine.I has been a few dropped a few times,got a scratch.The Keyboard on the Logitech is good just not as good as the Apple keyboard.And the trackpad works well.To have the Apple Magic Keyboard you really a protective-a sleeve or something like that because it just not do protection well.Still tempted though.
comment to support the awesome channel!
appreciate the comment and support, thanks!
interesante el equipo apple flexible
Having used the sub-par, almost poor keyboard on the Tab S7+, Apple agains shows how to do it properly. It is expensive but it adds so much to the experience that it is almost a must have accessory to max out your iPad potential. So now it is my go to device for stuff that I go back and forth from during the day, like email, research, browsing, typing, rather than my M1 MB Pro! Anyone on YT that says it is not pro nor a laptop replacement, well for some of us it easily is!
Well said!
Yeah it’s so easy to pickup and use. I have 11” model and it’s amazingly light for including an entire keyboard.
Do I need it? If I already have mba m1?
But yet, autobrightness in the iPad settings STILL doesn’t correctly work with the keyboard lighting. Bright environments, dim environments- doesn’t matter. The autobrightness doesn’t affect the keyboard lighting. You’d think a first-party accessory wouldn’t have this issue. I do agree the magic keyboard is good and I enjoy mine, but I wish they’d fix the keyboard backlighting to work with iPad autobrightness. As it is now, the keyboard is always either too bright or too dim….for the sake of battery life, I’ve set my Magic Keyboard backlight to around 10% and leave it there. High brightness on the keyboard backlighting has a noticeable impact on iPad’s battery life.
Typing this on my new m1 ipad and keyboard i approve this video.
I was scared when I bought it but when I saw this video I didn’t regret buying it omgggg I am about to open the box eeekeekekekekeke!
Let me know what you think!
Where do you put the pencil?
My mom got me an iPad Air Gen 4. She made sure to get a sweet deal. 1200 USD for a tablet, otter box, Apple Pencil, and Magic Keyboard. I really love this keyboard. Feels like having a laptop without the need to buy one.
BTW, I’m typing this comment on my Magic Keyboard. XD
Absolutely LOVE it!!! It is expensive… but it is so worth it!!!
Just bought on Amazon on sale for $170-180… waiting for delivery today… I just wish they could have a detachable table mode with a case from keyboard…
The magic keyboard is a lifesaver and high quality. No joke: it’s definitely worth every penny.
Apple magic keyboard so nice.
Question: how does it work when you have apps that function in portrait mode?
Like Instagram ? Ya I would like to know as well !!
It doesn’t
You have to take the iPad out and use stand alone. I don’t like it for that reason
Is the gen1 and gen2 magic keyboard for the 11” iPad Pro exactly the same?
Yes just different color options
@@JSLReview thanks
i just like to watch videos like this so i feel better about spending so much money
great video btw! the editing is really satisfying and the audio is so crisp this video is very nice to watch :)
can we stick our IPAD at the back of our magic keyboard case for note taking. does it stick to the front side when we close the case...??
No you can't. You'll have to disconnect the iPad from the magic keyboard.
I tried this combo and I can say it’s not even close to replacing a laptop. The lack of function keys, tiny trackpad, and the iPad OS make it much more limited than a laptop experience.
Ugh, was that Supreme thermos worth it?
None of commands working ex. Command space bar. Any ideas?
Can this keyboard comfortably sit on your lap? I always see it sitting on a table and never on a lap. I work on my couch so that’s very important to me. Is it study enough to stay open on an unstable surface, like someone’s lap?
Absolutely. The iPad floats, so the bottom of the Magic Keyboard doesn’t generate heat at all.
