I know that the iPad Magic Keyboards made for previous iPad versions won't work with the 13" Pro or Air models. But what about the Bluetooth Magic Keyboards, the kind that were sold (maybe still are) with desktop Macs and that charge via Lightning? Will they work with the new iPad models?
Got a tip for us?

I don’t have iPad 13” but my iPad Pro 11” and iPad mini 7 can connect to Apple Bluetooth Magic Keyboard with no issue.

I have used my old lightning bluetooth Magic KeyBoard on my M4 and M5 iPad Pro 13 inch. No problems. On my M5 iPad Pro 13” I have since upgraded it to a USB C Magic Keryboard and Apple track pad, which has raised my experience with my iPad 100%. Im am also using a STXND Model-X Stand for both landscape and portrait views at $75.00 leafs 10% off for first time ordered, BTW it’s great with my iPad and for travelling as well. Again no issues with the track pad and the keyboard.
Thanks. I'd rather not invest in a new keyboard if I don't have to; I'll need a new pencil already.
