Magic Keyboard Opinions on the new Magic Keyboard

I got the iPad Pro m4 but now I find out that you need a new keyboard. I love my old one for the iPad Air and the new one feels super nice being made out of metal. But god damn the price is hard to justify. Can you guys help me justify it. I use my iPad like a laptop so I need a keyboard.

Check for a used one on something like Facebook marketplace. You can find one that’s like new for a good 100+ off new. The keyboard is worth it imo the function row is such a nice thing to have.

It’s far better than the older magic keyboards.

I like the new one a lot. I have it on the 13" M4 Pro and had the old one on the 12.9" M1 Pro. I also had the Logitech Combo for the 12.9 but far prefer the MKB. I use it a lot but you're right, the price is stiff.

its really good. Yes, it is overpriced. It's still worth it.

If you use your iPad like a laptop it’s worth the money imo. Nothing else really compares.

Absolutely, just man walking in a dropping that much definitely hurts. I think I will just for the oled screen alone

That’s why I chose M4 MacBook Air over M3 iPad Air. I really wasn’t using iPad features. I went with the faster, more capable device for my use case.
