Last month, the 12.9-inch Magic Keyboard for iPad dropped to an all-time high of $ 249, and now that discount is back. Amazon hit $ 80 on the 12.9 inch magic keyboard, bringing it down to $ 249. the 11 inch version is also reduced but by $ 100, which brings it down to $ 199. So, no matter what model of iPad Pro you have (or if you have the latest iPad Air), you can get the corresponding Magic Keyboard for a much lower price than usual.

Unsurprisingly, Apple had the most luxurious typing experience for its iPads with the Magic Keyboard – but its hefty price tag has always made it a bit of a tough sell. We gave him a score of 84 for its excellent typing experience, smooth glass trackpad, and overall ruggedness. The keyboard itself is just as comfortable as that of the latest MacBook Air, and it helps use Apple’s updated scissor switches rather than the butterfly keys of yesteryear. Laying your iPad on your lap using the Magic Keyboard is an easy and wobble-free experience, so you can use the tablet as a replacement laptop with this accessory.
The Magic Keyboard requires charging, but it has a single USB-C port to do so. Your iPad can also charge while connected to the keyboard using the rear smart connector, leaving its single port free for dongles and other adapters.
Sales like this are good opportunities for those who yearn for the Magic Keyboard to grab one without spending too much. However, there are still many other more affordable Bluetooth keyboards that work well with the iPad. We like Logitech $ 150 Folio Touch Keyboard Case for its backlit keys, decent trackpad and rubber bumper which provide additional protection.
