Update...You can now go to control centre in settings where you can add the keyboard brightness to the control panel. Tap on globe + c and that opens your control centre.

You can also turn the iPad into a Mac laptop now by clicking the little one on the bottom right with icon looks like a tv casting screen with 3 little screens to the left of it. đ€Ż
Awesome! I haven't got the iPad yet but my favorite was the inverting the key board to write. Thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow!!! Thank you so much! The inversion of the keyboard to write is my fav. What a gamechanger! Iâve been awkwardly taking the ipad off each time. THANK YOU!
You're welcome, glad you found them helpful! Yeah, I find that last tip a bit corny but it definitely does the trick!
Yes! This is one of my favourites too. No other Magic Keyboard reviewer seems to have spotted it.
To those that have now been doing this for a year now - do you find it damages the keyboard? Just came across this Video and wonder if it could cause damage after awhile

Nice and steady, brilliantly clear instructions. You explained as tho you were speaking to someone that had NO idea - me. I came away feeling enlightened and informed. Thanks so much.
That was a great video, thanksđ
The extra tip in the end is a game changer for me
Glad it was helpful!
Me too.. since I donât like to remove the ipad from the keyboard when using the pencil
Wonderful video, really love the tip on using the Magic Keyboard as an easel!
Super helpful video!
Especially using it as an easel.
Very well made video. Thanks a lotâŠđ
Glad it was helpful!
Right up there with your very best videos- thank you so much. The last three tips were all new to me and tremendously useful
Exactly what I was looking for !!! Thank you, great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and very helpful! Thank you! Just got the Magic Keyboard for my new Ipad, still learning how to use all the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Thank you! I am likely to come back to re LEARN everything!!! đ
You're most welcome! Thanks for your comment!
Glad to learn holding the Command key shows all the shortcuts (I have an app that does it for me on the laptop/desktop). Also, someone at Macrumors showed me that Command-Period gives me âEscapeâ, so I donât have to lose my emoji key. Thanks!
Awesome! Command . == ESC
Mine wont do that??????
Thanks for the tips. I have the new Magic Keyboard for the M4 iPad Pro and I learned a few things indeed (new to trackpads). I love this keyboard and special thanks for the bonus tip. I do draw on my iPad and I was wondering if I could do anything to improve the position of the screen. The new magic keyboard wobbles a bit when you draw on it while itâs in the standard position, but turning it around makes drawing a whole lot better/easier. So thank you for that đ
Wow. This was very informative! Thanks
Awesome - Iâm glad you found it helpful!
Super helpful !!! Iâm so thanksfull. This video really help me to use my new magic keyboard.
Good Luck for you !!!
please more of this useful content. Really appreciate it đ
More to come!
thank you for the bonus tip .
No problem!
Thanks so
Much!
Omg yes tap to click is an absolute must!
Love the last tip! Exactly what I was wishing
THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!! This makes my experience so much better ;D
Excellent! Helped me a lotđ
I didnt think of simply turning my keyboard around.. i was thinking of returning it because i regularly write things with the pencil. best tip!
Thanks, the tip 10, for customizing the cursor was a good one.
Useful video. Learned some valuable tips. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic!
Great video! Canât wait to update my phone and use the journaling app đŹ
Thank you very much mate.Much appreciated
No problem đ
Never thought about turning the keyboard into an easel. Thanks!
Love your videos. So clear. I have a Logitech Touch Combo keyboard for my 6th gen iPad Pro & it works almost exactly as the Magic Keyboardđ. Is there anyway to disable the trackpad on the keyboard? Or even a temporary trick to disable it? Thanks a bunch.
The tips were a game changer. Thanks!
tysm this helped me learn how to use magic key bored thank you so muchđ
Just used my apple gift card to get this. Thanks for the tips. You get straight to the point đ
Glad you found the video useful! Enjoy the magic keyboard (still using mine, Iâm writing this comment on it now!)
That tenth tip is game changer for me. Earned a sub with that one đ Thank you!
I had to turn off tap-to-click as I have issues with incidental activations. Iâve also found that the ESR Rebound Magnetic Keyboard Case is a near identical replacement for the Magic Keyboard and has some improvements over it, for 1/3 of the price.
Easil idea was good I draw a lot on my iPad and only reason I would not get the keyboard but that technic looks doable thanks.
Thank you
Great vid đ

hey there thanks a lot for the video. Nice tips! One question. Is there a way to select the suggestions with a hardware keyboard? This would improve my productivity, workflow unlocked. I canât seem to find anything related to this. Thanks!
Tap to click. I really needed that. Thank you.
Youâre welcome!
Really helpful
Good videođđœ
đcool video thanks
Great Video. I just got my Keyboard.đ
Thank you so much
No problem!
I didnât even know about the charge port on my Magic Keyboard. Thanks.
These tips was super helpful â€đ. Subscribed your channel . My new WHITE magic keyboard is yet to be delivered , along with ipad pro 12.9 M1. I will use these tips once i get my new ipad pro 12.9 M1 & new WHITE magic Keyboard
Glad you found them useful. That white ipad and keyboard setup looks great. I've always gravitated toward space grey, but I do like the look of the white. And the M1 iPad Pro looks like it's going to be an absolute powerhouse!
@@ProperHonestTech Felt very nice reading your comment. Thanks for your message. I am counting days for my new ipad pro 12.9 M1 to be shipped home đ. Have a good day !! đ
Typing on my magic keyboard at this moment and i love it so much đ
Hey mate, where did you get that band for your iWatch, it looks amazing in leather? great video by the way!!
Not sure if this is new to someone out there but pressing the shift key while arrowing right or left highlights that word to the right or left. Also, holding down the shift key while pressing down or up arrow, highlights a whole line. Or command home or end while holding the shift key highlights to the end or beginning from the cursor point.
đ emoji testing!!
Best case ever. Got it yesterday and havenât put it down. Iâm using my iPad even more Got it for $189 hehehe
Hi I have problems with my Magic Keyboard iPad caps lock key. Looked at your shift key repair but seems caps lock key is different and canât come around đ€·ââïžany advice/tips?đ
Thank you for these excellent tips. I was wondering if you would help me sort out a an annoying problem with the key board. When I am using say Twitter, after replying to a comment, as soon as i click reply, the screen changes and goes to the home page. Itâs frustrating me! It does not happen when the key board is not attached. Thank you
I often have problem with the tab key when it highlights over an app or elsewhere and I canât get rid of the highlight. It there an easy way to turn it off etc. Thanks
You are a God for showing the tap to click đ
Just doing what I can to rid the world of annoying click sounds... đ
Hi what would you prefer Ipad Air 4 with 64 gb with Magic keyboard or 256 without magic keyboard? I'm buying this ipad to replace my laptop and use it for like 4 years
Hi Tom. I have the Magic Keyboard and I would like to know why I keep getting a boarder randomly cropping parts of my screen. It can move when using the arrow keys on the right bottom but if I want to type something my space bar doesnât want to work. Any help with this would be great. Love you CZcams page and learning heaps of information that you share. Thank Bryan.
This setting can be turned off from Accessibility -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Full Access (Turn it off if its on)
5:10 2 tips new to me, so thank youâŠ. But⊠control + [ = Esc⊠you donât have to set it up in settings and you wonât loose functionality đ
Great Video thanks. I use the polish keyboard and sometimes I have to use the iPad screen to change the letters from an English A to Polish Ä with the accent. Do you know a short cut or work around on the keyboard for this? Thanks
I don't I'm afraid, I just had a quick look to see if I could get it to work. I can see that this seems to work totally differently to Mac OS (where you would simply hold the 'a' key until your accent options appear). It's a shame, feels like a missed feature by Apple.
Found out now how to do it. If you hold down the option key and the letter key it should change the letter based on the keyboard you have selected at the time.
đđYes it is heavy!
How to close the background apps using Magic Keyboard? Using 2 finger, swipe up, am I right? There is any setting need to set up this? Or itâs originally works like that?
Can some these tips be used for the logitech combo touch aswell
I don't know for certain I'm afraid, as I don't own one. But I'd think anything related to key shortcuts would work...
I would like to know how best to use this keyboard when in the Instagram app, which is in portrait mode. Do I just have to look sideways while typing?
I'm afraid so... Instagram isn't a native iPad app, which is why it can't be displayed in landscape mode (any native iPad app would have a landscape function as well as portrait). The Magic Keyboard is not designed to be used in portrait mode at all.
For Spanish accents itâs option and e then the vowel. I kinda miss the press down option though, it was simpler.
Yeah, I don't understand why that feature couldn't come to, what is essentially a physical keyboard attached to the tablet. Doesn't make sense when you can do it on Macs, and on the on-screen keyboard of your devices.
Hi everyone what would you recommend black vs white Magic Keyboard heard black shows more scuffs and marks ?
But does the Magic keyboard have the two âgame changersâ for me: A light or sound indication that Caps Lock key has been pressed (which I sometimes to do accidentally) and a Delete to the right key
Itâs actually
crazy that apple have done that its piece of artwork
I have weak hands due to my diagnosis and taking it off wouldnât work when I need to draw nice tip I am đź
How do you get space bar for pausing and arrows to work?
Alright then, let me test this out:đđđđ»
Thank you for all the tips. There is a tip Iâm still trying to find. For the cursor, I used to be able to rest the cursor on say a word or a word in the settings and it would actually expand to that word, where it would have a rim of red around it, due to me changing the color of the border for my cursor. Know I canât find the tip. Do you happen to know what I should do in settings? Thank you.
God bless you and the woman who birthed you!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!!
Goodness! I'll pass your thanks on to my Mum đ Thanks so much for your kind comment.
@@ProperHonestTech hahahaha! Tell her I said Hi!!!
I just got my new magic keyboard yesterday but I can't figure out how to get rid of the onscreen keyboard to strictly type on the magic keyboard. The Magic one will not accept the space bar entry nor the caps/shift controls. I have to use the onscreen keyboard to do those functions. Is there a setting to change this? I had the older version of this magic keyboard and never had this problem.
I need to emphasize the magic keyboard will not function at all unless the onscreen keyboard is showing. I cannot type on the magic keyboard without the onscreen one showing. What am I doing wrong?
how do I hit function keys (like F6, F7 F8, F9), not the copy/paste.
Hey do you know how to activate that small dot.because mine doesnât have it
I think you're referring to the pointer? It's in Settings, under Accessibility. Look for Pointer Control, and ensure that you've not got it hidden in there. It will only apply when you're connected to a Magic Keyboard.

Lol. When he said it was 300 lbs. I thought he was making a humorous comment about how heavy the darn thing is.
When i am typing i get this blue box that pops up around the search bar like i highlighted it or something, usually right when i hit my space bar after typing the first word. It drives me absolutely insane and if anyone knows how to fix it, i would highly appreciate it.
đ
Very interesting, as usual. Thank you. But I am quite unhappy because the iPad Pro cannot only be used in landscape mode (horizontally) and not in portrait mode (vertically). I tried to buy another type of support but it did not work. And several apps I use regularly are in Portrait mode. Therefore I am not in love with this iPad and prefer to use my old iPad Air. Any idea maybe ?
I'm a bit confused - are you having an issue with the iPad, or with the magic keyboard case? If you're saying that the iPad Pro can't be used in portrait mode... that's 100% not the case. It can be used in portrait mode like every other iPad out there. If you're looking on the other hand for an iPad case that allows you to have a keyboard, trackpad and use the iPad in portrait mode, I'm not sure such a thing exists I'm afraid.
@@ProperHonestTech I am sorry not to be clear. I am referring to a case without keyboard that would hold it vertically and would be easy to remove. It is rather heavy for my little hands. Thank you very much.
As case that would hold it vertically would be the regular Folio case from Apple, or a similar option from a third party. If you want the case to also function as a stand (holding it vertically), I'm afraid such a product doesn't exist to the best of my knowledge.
@@ProperHonestTech Thank you very much !

I donât feel the âescapeâ key is important. You can hold globe and H to go home or slide 3 fingers up on trackpad. Two easy ways to escape to Home Screen without changing the keys. No need for the escape anymore. There are other ways to leave the app. I donât know thatâs what I am feeling anyway. Stay safe.
My magic keyboard is different than yours I have delete instead of back space and my return button is smaller?
Are you in a different geographical region to me? This is the model I bought here in the UK.
@@ProperHonestTech I'm in Australia and I brought mine from the Apple store here a couple days ago, it cost me like $450
I can make sure you have the
Thanks a lot man! The Easel part was really handy for me as I use the iPad for my digital art classes too! Godbless
Does the keyboard sync to IPhone 13?? As it appears it does not ?
It doesn't - This isn't a bluetooth keyboard, the connection is physical (made when you attach the iPad to the case).
The emoji does not work for my keyboard

Magic keyboard not working new too
Return it to where you bought it from?
@@ProperHonestTech Fixed it myself. Just turned off the IPad and when opened, it worked and perfectly.
Bought the new magic keyboard and now regret buying it as I donât use it much and it makes my iPad bulky
Oh... have you bought it from somewhere that you can return it to for a refund?

its not it's ^^
Buddy - if you are referring to Proper Honest Tech's comment where he says 'looks like it's going to be an absolute powerhouse' then he has used it's correctly. In this form it isn't an 's showing ownership it's a correct abbreviation for 'it is' .
