With the launch of iPad Pro yesterday, Apple also brings in the Magic Keyboard for the new iPad Pro. The 2nd generation Magic Keyboard “levitates” the iPad Pro which makes it ergo friendly for those who are sitting on the desk. This is unlike its first generation where the iPad needed to be held onto the the top of the keyboard.
The Magic Keyboard also brings new 1mm keyboard switch which brings fast and responsive typing and supported with back-lit keys. This means typing in the night or day shall no longer be a fuss.
There is also the integration of touch pad, something that we first seen on the Samsung Tab S series tablet keyboard. This allows easier navigation between apps and multi task at ease.
