iPad Pro Weight of Magic Keyboard vs Smart Keyboard Folio? (Apple Support did not know for the new IPP)

[MareLuce]

What is weight of Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio for the currently available (2'nd gen?) 11" iPad Pros?

I called Apple Support to ask the weights of the upcoming 11" iPad Pro keyboard options.
They said they did not have this info and won't till April 30.

Can anyone post the weights of their existing 11" iPad Pro Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio?
The new ones probably won't differ by much, right?

I'll be buying the 11" MBP with ease of travel being the most important priority.

They weigh exactly the same.

They weigh exactly the same.

That's surprising. When the Magic Keyboard first came out, I saw complaints about how much weight it added, so I assumed it weighed more than the Smart Keyboard Folio.

Any opinions on which I should get between the 2 for travel / flying purposes?

The weight of the Magic Keyboard is a calculated value. Any less and the design won't be as stable.

I don’t have the Magic Keyboard in hand anymore because it is the only Appleproduct that I’ve ever returned. It is MUCH MUCH heavier than the smart keyboard folio! So much so that I felt compelled to return it as for me it seemed to turn the weight of the iPad into something wayyyy heavier than I wanted. That said sometimes I think I should have kept the Magic Keyboard because it is quite functional. If you are going to park your ipad on a desk somewhere its perfect. For travel not so much — turns it into the weight of a laptop almost.

What makes you think they weigh 'exactly the same' ?

Not only is it double the weight of the Smart Keyboard it also more than doubles the weight of the iPad.
