They are critics so I guess what can one except. I had very little hands on with it at an Apple store so too hard to judge at this point. My main issue is can it be used on one's lap with the Pro?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Its like the macbook keyboard so I love it. I dont ever use a laptop on my lap as I hate the experience.

I don't have mine yet so I can only speak to what I've experienced in the store, but I thought it typed extraordinarily well for its form and was impressed. As for it not having media keys, I guess I don't really understand the need for those on a touchscreen device made to be used without a keyboard. Volume rocker is well within reach, media controls are just a swipe up away, the home button is waiting for you to press or double press it (btw, the keyboard shortcut for home is cmd+shift+h).

I can definitely understand why some folks wouldn't like it, but its portability combined with its functionality/ease of use make it an appealing product for me. I just can't wait to get my hands on it full time!

It's awesome and yes I use it on my lap without problems.

I love it, but it does have some drawback. Play buttons and I can live without as I rarely used them over the years on any of my Macs. I think a dedicated home button and multitasking similar to the Logitech keys to go. If you are not looking for a keyboard case, that think is alittle gem. It has play buttons as well. I find typing on the keyboard pretty accurate and the way it folds into the smart cover works better than I thought. With the silicone case it makes everything much heftier, but the damn thing is so big and I amnot seven years old so it is negligible. If you are investing in the pencil and the silcone case, I think this completes the purchase. If you want to save $20.00, there is the logitech keyboard for the iPad pro, but your decison should be based on design and preference, not the mere $20.00. That keyboard is getting rather good reviews and is backlit, which was not a deciding factor for me.

I was actually surprised how much I liked the keyboard. Like the user above (#2) said, it has low travel similar to a macbook.
