$300 for a keyboard ?I am pretty loyal to Apple, but that is why I have a Surface Pro instead of an iPad.

This can only mean New iPads. And no back-compatibility? ?

The Magic Keyboard is a fabulous gadget, but it is too overpriced and still causes a nasty battery drain.

I hope the new generation allow for 1) More positioning angles, 2) Better energy management, 3) Function keys, 4) More device protection.

This continued steep discount makes me believe that the new revision of iPad won’t be compatible with the existing Magic Keyboard for iPad. Either that or a new Magic Keyboard for iPad is coming.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

For what it does, I never thought that the Magic Keyboard was overpriced when compared to Apple's standalone keyboard and trackpad.

$199 is a great deal for those that haven't picked one up yet, and will actually make use of it (my wife wouldn't).

Because of the cost of an accessory?

 

[LeeW]

Definite sign of not being compatible with future devices
Still too expensive though.

I can't imagine they are going to create this accessory and have it only be compatible with current devices for only a year.

I would agree but Apple is still selling new iPads that are not compatible with the Apple Pencil 2 and require the Apple Pencil 1 sooooo .... nothing surprises me anymore

 

[FasterQuieter]

I am tempted when I see big price reductions, but I know I would never use it. I just can't use my iPad as a laptop. I am lucky enough to have a laptop as well. The actual laptop is so much more useful for work. The iPad is so much better for relaxing. I don't want the 2 worlds to collide.

 

[markcres]

It was already overpriced by $199 - some discount

 

[satchmo]

I wish Apple would price it at this permanently in their store...and worldwide.

 

[luvbug]

Another $75 off and it might be reasonably priced. And for some reason, the 13" Pro size never seems to see this steeper discount level. Get an M1 Air - way better value!

Still getting some mileage out of the old case design, which doesn't have the flat edges necessary to charge the 2nd generation Pencil.

My magic keyboard was less than $100, and IT has an ESC key!

 

[tooloud10]

A few weeks ago I'd have been in the group that chuckles about the price of the Magic Keyboard, but...then I got one and it's an absolute joy to use and was well worth $199. It's one of those accessories that I didn't know I needed until I got it.

So... not loyal?

We have the 12.9" with the magic keyboard and she loves it. When this first showed up I thought it was for the larger iPad and was about to buy another just so she could leave one on her desk and one in the bedroom. To be fair, her laptop is a 2011 11" air, and she only likes to use it when she absolutely has to.

Yea, Microsoft would never...

Yeah, it is steep compared to ~$100 for SP. However, SP7's battery life sucks hard.

At least that contains a pen as well. So for Apple, it would cost like $480 before any discounts for keyboard (12.9") and pencil.

 

[peneaux]

The nerve to charge $300 for a keyboard could only come from Apple.

You have to understand your post supports his point more than it supports the one you're trying to make, right?

There are $200 - $300 keyboards... like a nice RGB Ducky with mechanical switches. A laptop keyboard isn’t worth $300.. sorry Apple.

I bought it at this price two weeks ago, very happy with this. It actually changes how you use your ipad and brings it to another level. The keyboard and gestures make me happy to use it for work 90% of the time (I have a work laptop, for sure).
