    Just got my 10.5" Smart Keyboard

    Arrived this morning. First impressions are good. Here is a comparison picture on top of my 2015 rMB keyboard:

    iPad Pro What would you want in the next version of the Smart Keyboard?

    The Smart Keyboard is nice, but could use some major improvements. Here is what I would like: Thinner profile when closed, not a big fan of the keyboard lump on one side. More angles for the iPad when typing. Better magnetic sticking when in tablet mode, similar to the Smart Cover snapping to...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 9.7 Smart Keyboard Question

    I have avoided purchasing the Smart Keyboard to keep my iPad Pro 9.7 a tablet device, but I can understand a few cases where it would be greatly appreciated when I don't have my 13" MBP with me. Here are my questions for those who currently use it: Does the Keyboard flop around in tablet mode...

    Video controls covered up when ASK is attached

    I have a Smart Keyboard attached, trying to watch a video 70% full screen and take notes on the remaining 30% screen. But when I type, the bar at the bottom of the screen covers the video controls (play, pause, next, back, volume)-see screenshot. This is very bothersome because I often need to...

    Disable Caps Lock on iPad Pro Smart Keyboard?

    I have the larger iPad Pro and like the smart keyboard. I also just bought the 9.7 inch iPad Pro and smart keyboard. The keyboard is considerably smaller and I keep hitting the caps lock key requiring all too frequent stop-and-corrects. Makes the keyboard much less useful for me. Perhaps I...

    Spotlight search text entry not working, CMD-Tab icons mixed up

    I have a 12.9 IPad Pro with Apple Smart Keyboard running the latest non-beta software. Sometimes when I pull up spotlight search with CMD-Space or with a downward finger swipe, I am unable to type a thing in the search field. Keyboard input is ignored. I can usually fix it by going to another...

    Magnet strength of the Smart Keyboard vs Smart Cover

    I own both the Smart Cover and Smart Keyboard for my 12.9" iPad Pro. I notice the side magnet attachment on the Smart Cover is much stronger that my Smart Keyboard is. Has anyone else who has both noticed this, or do I possibly have defective magnets on the Smart Keyboard? Thanks

    Another damned opinion about the smart keyboard

    Background: I have been using an iPad mini since the Retina iPad Mini came out. My most recent mini was the iPad mini 4 LTE. I used a ClamCase keyboard with it, and absolutely thought it was the best way for ME to use my mini. I have since migrated to an iPad Pro LTE. I tried the ClamCase with...

    Smart Keyboard Niggle

    Get right to the point. Anybody else notice the little irritating feature that has followed on to the Smart Keyboard with capitalization? You type a word and accidently capitalize it, and go back to correct it - it comes back capitlaized every time. You have to delete one more time to get it to...

    iPad Pro Space bar not working if not after reboot

    Hi, I have an annoying problem with Smart Keyboard, with iPad Pro 12,9", set with Italian configuration. Everything works normally, than, without any logical reason, space bar stops working. Sometimes I need to unplug the connection between iPad and keyboard, some others I am obliged to reboot...

    iPad Pro Smart Keyboard and suggested words

    Hi, I am a proud owner of iPad Pro 12,9", and I love it. I've only a problem. I like to use the suggested word system as I type with Smart Keyboard, but sometimes it hints a mistaken word. Do you know if there's any shortcut on Smart Keyboard to cancel the suggested word and type the one I want...

    iPad Pro CMD+Shift+H Broken on Smart Keyboard?

    Anyone else with the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard notice that the CMD+Shift+H shortcut to go to the home screen is not working on 9.3? Or, is it just me? All other keyboard shortcuts work fine. EDIT: Nevermind. I just found out that they changed the shortcut hot key from CMD+Shift+H over to CMD+H. I...

    iPad Pro alternate Smart Keyboard Layouts from brand.it

    Hi, a little while ago I found that a company called brand.it/brandolino.eu offers original smart keyboards with alternate layouts printed on. I did not get one by now, has anyone tried them? They sell them for 20€ more... (199€) On Brand.it you have to order at least 10 (focused on Business...

    iPad Pro Can the 12.9" Smart Keyboard compatible with the 9.7" iPad Pro?

    The size of the 12.9" keyboard is ideal. I'll deal with the extra room on the sides. And the cost differential is minimal. It won't be my primary case, just my primary keyboard.

    iPad Pro Smart Keyboard Update Just Pushed

    I just saw that Apple pushed an update to the Smart keyboard. They did it outside of the usual update channels. It showed up as a pop up message "Would you like to update your Smart Keyboard?" Any idea what the update included?

    Smart Keyboard Email

    Does anyone know if the delete key actually deletes emails in the mail app or does it archive them? I would hope it matches whatever setting I have the swipe on mail set to. Anyone know?

    [iPad Pro] Won't recognize Smart Keyboard

    Been having a problem with my iPad Pro recognizing the Smart Keyboard when plugged in. Is there some trick to activate the Smart Keyboard, or is this likely a problem with the smart connector? The first time, restarting the iPad Pro fixed the problem. However, I haven't been able to use the...
