I have the latest Magic Keyboard and while I love almost everything about it, I hate using it in my lap. It’s so top heavy I find it almost unusable with the 13” M4 Pro model? I‘m just looking for a product that will balance well in the lap and not constantly tip over backwards like the Magic Keyboard does.

Anyone have a good recommendation for one that balances well in the lap? Thank you!

I have the Burton Goods Leather Magic Keyboard case, and like it for the very reason you raise. It adds some weight and leverage to the bottom of the keyboard so I can tip the screen without the whole thing falling over. Works really well.

I posted a comment yesterday in the main thread “Anyone found a decent iPad Pro case.” More detail there.
 
I’m looking for a decent keyboard alternative to the Magic Keyboard. It’s too expensive for the issues I’ve seen others have with it.

Just need something that attaches magnetically, and balances in the lap. Don’t care about a trackpad.
