Is there any way I can use my iPad Pro Magic Keyboard as an input device//keyboard for my Macbook Pro?

Thanks MacRumors :D

It’s relevant because you’re asking if you can use an accessory literally meant for the iPad Pro and not the Macbook.
Hey, there could have been a Bluetooth chip inside the magic keyboard for all I knew. And it’s not relevant because I asked about the magic keyboard specifically. I wasn’t asking which keyboards work on a macbook pro, it’s very obvious that Bluetooth keyboards work on the MacBook Pro, you guys are not offering suggestions or solutions you’re just wasting my time. If the answer is no, then the answer is no.

A quick google search of “Apple magic keyboard with track pad specs” would have brought you this link;


If you ‘truly’ need to specifically use this keyboard (cause god forbid Bluetooth apparently) with your Mac your only other option is to use a Remote Desktop app like Jump Desktop and you can switch between your using your MacBook and your iPad. Obviously not side by side like multitasking, though if you actually need it like that, then I guess you’re stuck.

Nope. It had nothing to do with the question.

There seems to be an English comprehension problem with some poster on this thread.
