I really like the keyboard so far in terms of what it adds

I wish it had more viewing options and that the trackpad was bigger

I am also frequently wishing there was an escape key, though I understand there wasn’t much need for one given you just swipe up to go home

So far so good for my dedicated experiences, it works perfect for emails, web browsing, and single document word processing

**BY FAR** this is the best trackpad and keyboard combo I’ve experienced on the iPad. It is awesome to be able to type and then touch , the floating design is fantastic

I am going to use it exclusively for the next week or so before I make up my mind to keep. Right now I am leaning towards keeping, I really am enjoying the keyboard experience this gives the iPad and the trackpad is simply fantastic. I used to own a Surface Pro 3 and this is significantly better. Never owned the newer surfaces, I know they fixed things but the fact the keypad is flat gives it a much more stable typing experience
 
I don't know if anyone has answered this previously, but I finally have an arrival date for April 30. When does Apple charge you for the order? When you receive the MK or when it ships out?

You can also use the pinch gesture to escape full screen mode on videos and such. And there are videos on YouTube where they demonstrate mapping one of the other keys to the escape function. You should check them out if you’re really wanting an escape key.
 
At 8:19 this morning I finally got tracking for my Apple order... arrives Tuesday according to FedEx, Wednesday for Apple. Either returning or selling the Apple one. Been very happy with my Best Buy order

Just received mine today, Tuesday. After sitting in PTS for a week.
 
My 12.9” arrived this morning, UK order from Apple. Having had the 11” for a week I was a bit disappointed with how the iPad isn’t as rigid in place on the 12.9”. It’s a little bit looser in terms of movement when open, whereas the 11” is very firm. Shame really as I do prefer the larger form factor.
 
Let’s do this...!

would go with this for anyone browsing to judge delivery times from Apple as I was. Got in stock email from Curry’s this morning, ordered straight away and delivers tomorrow. Was 12th May Apple delivery date.
Considering the Currys Pc World route - did it show ? (and anyone else in the UK did they deliver as promised ?)
 
As of 7:59a, my MK has been loaded on the truck for delivery. Fingers crossed, looks like it should be today! Excited to get my hands on this thing.

I ordered it 12:58p EST on 4/15. 12.9". Quoted delivery date from Apple was 4/27-5/1. Great work by Apple on quoting realistic delivery dates - would've loved to have it sooner, but understand the logistical nightmare that the state of the world looks like.
 
Apple says it’s being delivered tomorrow but UPS tracking number says “delivery date unknown”
 
Good news: It has been delivered! 🥳
Bad news: I had to go into the office to work today and I can‘t play with it yet. 🙄
 
Delivered today (anxiously waiting to get home and open it up). Ordered 4/15 @ 12:50 pm given 4/24 to 5/1 delivery window. Held at PTS for over a week before finally showing up on UPS.

Mine also arrived today! Ordered on the 16th. Its a great piece of hardware indeed. This definitely gives using the iPad a totally different experience. The only thing i‘m afraid of is the outside of the case... this stupid Folio material should have died out long ago. Very afraid what ist will look like a year from now.
 
Finally bit the bullet and placed my order yesterday we will see when I get this. Says the free May 14 through May 21
