The Magic Keyboard might not be my ideal solution, and it’s pricey compared to some of the third-party options.

The new Magic Keyboard is as different from that device as the new MacBook Pro keyboards are from the low profile ones that dominated headlines over the last couple of years. It’s a huge jump forward in usability for the iPad Pro — and for last year’s model too. – TechCrunch
