Maybe not related to this keyboard directly, but anyone knows why if I type directly on the Facebook website the space bar takes three spaces instead of one? Because of this, I have to use the app and its a little irritating because I prefer the full website, especially on my 12,9 pro.
Got a tip for us?

One thing that is a little uncomfortable, at least up to this point, is using the trackpad all the time instead of just scrolling with a finger in most instances. Hopefully I am just use to using the iPad one way, for so long, operating it differently most of the time is just messing with my brain...
That happens to me with my iPad and Smart Keyboard Folio so can confirm it's not a MK-specific issue (although it's annoying indeed).
Not a bad idea at all and have it fold back as well. I would buy that. I already use my smart folio keyboard with trackpad 2 and its great but not super portable. I ordered the magic keyboard a second time, canceled the first and ahh should just try it out.
I got mine today. I have been pretty impressed so far. My initial impression so far.
1)It’s seamless and very intuitive
2) It will take me a while to get used to how close to my screen my fingers are when typing on the number keys. Not a showstopper but initially a little annoying. I think it’s just a matter of adjustment.
3) typing on this thing is miles better than on the Smart Keyboard Folio
4) I love how the cursor works. I think MacOS should adopt this.
5) I really don’t understand those who complain about the weight. I was expecting this to be like a brick. It’s not
6) I haven't had any issue typing with this on my lap.
7) Still can’t decide if this is worth the money (and I got a discount).
Overall I am pleased and will likely keep it.

I agree with your comments. I love typing on this keyboard and the weight is also not an issue. The only thing that bothers me is the trackpad size, which could be bigger. It's worth the money if you use it and it makes your computing experience better. Only you can answer that.
Very nice. I am waiting on my 11inch for my 2018 iPP. I already got my 12.9in model for my 2020 iPP and love it.
Yeah. They said that there's more going on in this keyboard than in some laptops. I'll be really interested to see their tear-down and the commentary.
Huh??? A 4:3-iPad and a 16:10-iPad?
yeah.. wow is that some optical illusion lol

To be fair, they are different aspect ratios.
UK People - how do you type a pound (sterling) sign ? - it’s located on the number 3 key but whatever I do I can’t get it ☺️
On UK keyboards £ is shift+3
On US keyboards £ is opt+3
On UK keyboards opt+3 is #
This happens to me as I type - but when the text is posted normal spacing is shown .. !
That picture is weirding me out, too. They must be the same size iPads, but doesn't make sense. It's like that green vs. black dress business.Huh??? A 4:3-iPad and a 16:10-iPad?
The 12.9” and 11” have different aspect ratios. So no, your eyes aren’t weirded out haha
