iPad keyboards

iPad keyboards (sold separately) help protect your iPad and allow you to type while viewing the entire iPad screen.

All keyboards attach directly to iPad and close to create a thin cover.

Magic Keyboard and Magic Keyboard Folio

Magic Keyboard for iPad (compatible with iPad Air and iPad Pro) and Magic Keyboard Folio (compatible with iPad (10th generation)) include a built-in trackpad, which you can use to move around the iPad screen, open apps, and more.

To adjust the keyboard brightness of the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air and iPad Pro, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard, then drag the slider.

Important: The Magic Keyboard and Magic Keyboard Folio contain magnets that hold iPad securely in place. Avoid placing cards that store information on a magnetic strip—such as credit cards or hotel key cards—on Magic Keyboard and Magic Keyboard Folio surfaces that attach to iPad, as such contact may demagnetize the card.
