M1 iPad Pro NEW Magic Keyboard VS 2020 iPad Magic Keyboard! By The Everyday Dad

The best accessory ever made for the iPad Pro in my opinion, is the magic keyboard. This might be expensive, but it takes what is a content consumption like tablet and turns it into a legitimate productivity device. Well, with the new version of the m1 iPad, pro apple released a newer version of their magic keyboard. That's this fella right here! So what comes in the box, and how does it compare to last year's model? Let's find out we'll slam that down, because it's something totally different right? What's up everyone, I'm the everyday dad! If I can figure it out, you can figure it out. So this is there's a few key things that I was really excited about over the last month with the new releases. Two of them are keyboards.

One was the magic keyboard with touch I'd built into it that we found in the new m1 iMac and the other was this new colored magic keyboard for the iPad? Again, I love iPads. So let's crack this thing open and see what we've got. It does look like it's the exact same kind of model. I don't think there's going to be really significant differences between this and last year's model, but we'll compare them and see what happens. Let's see.

What's in the box, even that was boring. Like we've unboxed, quite a few things. Over the last couple of days apple, you got to put a little of oomph. You got to put a little resistance on the plastic, and it makes it just more fun to open. I could be crazy.

I have been called crazy in the past. The iPad magic keyboard come on. Let's go, let's go team. There we go now. My main concerns about this thing is that it's going to be really hard to keep clean because the other magic keyboard is, you know it's space, gray or like a black color, and you can see that it's kind of a's a little messy.

I've used this an awful lot in the last year, and you can kind of see that it's got some life into it. I do currently have it with the m1 iPad Pro 11 in it. So this is going to be a m1 iPad family. There you go. This is pretty big, like the iPad Pro 12.9 inch seems like a gigantic thing for me. Oh, so we do get some stuff in here designed by apple in California.

We've said that quite a few times over the last couple of days. What do we get? The surface of the magic keyboard is designed to be wiped clean, avoid prolonged contact with other materials, as color transfer may occur, so this is going to be a fragile color. This seems like it could be a fragile coloring, but I think it looks so good. That's why we that's why we went with it. Okay apple won your AppleCare, one-year thing disposal information and then the quick little cheat sheet on how to use this to keyboard should be pretty easy to use all right, all sorts of cool stuff, no stickers, it's not like a mainline iPad, so we do have no stickers on here um, but physically.

This thing feels really, really good. Like I really like one of the things, this does feel a little better here. Let's compare the two. It could just be that this has been worn down a little since this version has been used an awful lot, but the material on this does feel a little better. Again, I'm sure it's 100 the same material.

Just my initial impressions are, it does feel slightly better. You can tell it is a much bigger keyboard than what I'm used to, but uh. No, the keys, the keys feel perfect. It's spaced out a little better. Obviously, because there is more room for the keys to be spaced out.

The trackpad is the same size. Is that the same size yeah it looked a little it looked a little like it could have been slightly bigger. Okay, I do kind of feel like this could get dirty pretty quickly. I'm not exactly careful or overly cautious with all of my gear, it just kind of gets thrown around a lot. One of the things that I do kind of wish, though, and maybe it didn't bother me as much because on the 11 inch you kind of are using up all the space, but on the 12.9 inch model we still don't have a row of function keys and that's like that seems like a huge deal to me because look at all this like blank wasted space, I very much if you saw the Logitech keyboard that we checked our what a couple of weeks after this one came out. It does have a row of function keys.

So I kind of wish, because this is bigger, and they've had some time to work on it. I do wish there were function keys. We still have the inverted t command. You got a full like option looking button here, it does look like we have fuller keys. You can see the tab.

Caps lock shift all the normal mac keys. Look much more like you would find on a MacBook on here, whereas they had to do some very obvious corner cuttings to get this to fit in the 11-inch version. Now I've typed all sorts of stuff on here. I've done a lot of work from this keyboard, so I am hopeful to see how this works. I can, after a little of time, working on the 11-inch keyboard.

My hands will get tired just from all the scrunching you have to do and the fact that, like your hands, it's hard to get your hands in a good position, because they're like half on the keyboard and half off the keyboard, where on here, it's more like a MacBook where your hands are totally on here, but even though it's spaced out it's not that hard to get to t and y. These are the two culprits of if you have to stretch too far for keyboards okay, let's not. We also still have the USB charger on the side, which is a key reason to get this um version, but yeah, let's, okay, let's pop on the iPad, this is the m1 iPad Pro it's on there. It seems pretty stable. I don't have any issues with this.

Let's see, though, because this iPad is heavier, it makes me nervous. I'm like the 11-inch iPad is not as big, and I feel like. It probably works a little better with the magnets, but it's not coming off. It's not budging. So that's pretty I'm pretty impressed with that.

They got. I just love. How easy it is. Here's the iPad, I'm watching the movie, whatever oh hey, I got to get some work done boom done. It is currently set up onto the keyboard, so good together I mean it does kind of feel like it feels heavier than the MacBook Air.

My MacBook Air is upstairs right now, but it does feel a little heavier. The material feels very good. This is just such a, so normally I compare this to like my notebook that I take notes in this. Is industrial size workspace. It does come down a little because the iPad's a little bigger it comes over the keys a little more.

So maybe that's why they couldn't have like function. Keys like if I was trying to reach for function keys up there. I might be blocked by the iPad itself, so I guess this big empty space. It does not bother me as much now that we've got the iPad on here. It looks fantastic, it's balanced on their very well.

I like how much articulation we get. It really lets you, one of the things that you need out of a stand when you use this either on a laptop or on these iPads. Are you want to bring it up and bring it back a little, and this keyboard really lets you do that it instantly paired? We can see uh here, let's search for keyboard settings. Can we do anything? Hardware keyboard doesn't give us anything too crazy. We can set up what all the command keys.

Do. English, let's type something out really quick notes. Continue new note, typing test on the brand-new m1 iPad, pro 12.9 inch white keyboard. These keys feel phenomenal. I just apple has done very well with their new line of magic keyboards, and this just this feels fantasy whoops dick to type on one of the things.

I think that I'm going to have to get used to, though on this is I'm used to the tiny keys and then moving to a full keypad on here. Oh, that's going to be a little rough because I'm not used to things being actually spread out. So no, I think it feels perfect. I like that, do we still have all the same gestures yep. We got all the gestures still boom boom boom.

Okay, so one of the things we'll have to do. Let me know in the comments below what would you like to see? Would you like to see a follow-up to this keyboard after a couple of weeks or a couple of months after we've had a chance to really put this through its paces, but much like the original magic keyboard? These accessories are very expensive. This, together, like this, is the cheapest 12.9-inch iPad Pro with this keyboard. It costs more than the MacBook Air. It costs the same as the MacBook Pro 13, but you get less storage, and it's a little more finicky because you've also got fewer ports but yeah.

What would you all like to see about this? Let me know in the comments below I love making the videos that you all want to see and if you like this video, and you want to see either of the two new m1 iPad pros, come out of their box, see what you get with it. Here's my video about both of them, and you can find them by clicking right here. Click. Click, click, click, click, click, click, thanks for watching.
