does anyone have an issue with the keyboard laying flat? I am coming from a gen 1 12.9 and never had this issue but it's very annoying to type on because of this.

You may have the wrong keyboard. Apple Store gave me a wrong keyboard with my iPad and I luckily realized this problem on the way out and came back and returned it. It did this exact thing you describe.

I had the 9.7 smart keyboard and it always laid flat, but I have a friend whose 9.7 always left a gap with the table. Then I bought the 10.5 smart keyboard for my new 10.5 ipad and the keyboard wouldn't lie flat. I could always bend the joint and make it lie flat, but I'd have to do that every time. I took it back after a week and swapped it out. The new one lies flat every time. So they are hit or miss, but you can get one that lies flat every time.

Found a fun typing app yesterday whilst viewing you tube-smart keyboard review.

Today I’ve immediately returned 29 wpm 98% accuracy-room for improvement.

Tap Type via app store.

Enjoying Apple smart keyboard today.

One question I cannot answer though suspect it maybe which websites and forums I’l replying to.

e.g. macrumours -why is it if I make a typo and use the cursor keys to alter a typo-the whole page moves.
