New Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro Now Available to Order, Deliveries Begin Next Week

Also, not sure if these are the real deal or not (as I can’t understand the language, can anyone translate?) but seems to be the first people receiving the keyboard....

Although, in the first video, when they close the lid, there’s no Apple logo like in the product images? Could be fake? 2nd video seems legit.

It is the real deal haha. I'll upload a quick overview of the keyboard soon.
Let me know if you guys have any more questions

The backlight keys are even better than i thought and the angles i think are far better than what the current ASK is like.

Aaah ok..at least we’re in the same boat!

Yeah true.

For anyone wanting to know more about it, this guyhas loads of separate videos up showing features!

This one shows the brightness settings within settings for the new keyboard!


And he’s LIVE now so you can ask questions here!!

Ah so that’s how you can change the brightness on the keyboard...

Yeah people on the live video are trying to ask if the brightness is also automatic/ambient sensing but not got answer...

Awesome! Didn’t realise you were on here too! Great to see videos popping up. You should go live like the other guy?
 
I would properly have the brightness on full so saves going into setting so much. Can’t wait to get mine think it will be just what i need. Trackpad actually looks bigger than the pictures in fairness.

It is automatic!

If there is a lot of interest, I could do a live! Didn't think there would be too many people in the audience haha

Imagine if Apple let us map keys so we could have shortcuts - would be awesome to have shortcuts to do brightness, volume, multitasking etc

never mind, apparently you have to have 1000 subscribers to do a live stream...

Man, that sucks. Are you sure? That other guy is doing a live stream and only has 90 followers? Asked on YouTube but: Is there any way to store or charge the pencil other than the normal attach to the iPad edge? Can you control volume or audio/video controls via keyboard?

yeah, since I've never done a live sessions before, it requires 1000 subs on Youtube iOS app or wait 24 hours on the website. sigh...

To answer your question, the only way to charge the pencil is through the wireless charging connector at the top of the ipad (when attached to the keyboard), the keyboard itself does not provide a way to charge the pencil.

There is no way (that I know of) to control the volume on the keyboard.

Would you say the keyboard is a lot heavier than the Smart Keyboard?
 
Nice overview! Does it feel a lot heavier than the Smart Keyboard? Also - do you like it better so far?
