I‘ve seen a few videos that show the keyboard but I haven’t seen one where someone is actually using it and talking about the experience. The most I’ve seen is from David Pierce at the Verge who wrote:

The Magic Keyboard looks and feels really nice. Its aluminum body and enlarged trackpad are much higher-end than what we’ve seen from previous versions. Typing on it felt a lot like typing on my MacBook Air, which was pretty clearly the goal.

Edit: just saw this from Andrew Cunningham at Ars Technica:

There's not a ton to be said about the new Magic Keyboard accessory, which, like the tablet itself, is a little thinner and lighter than the old one but has the same key switches and so feels mostly familiar. The added function row is nice, as is the somewhat larger trackpad, and the metal wrist rest makes it feel even more like an oddball MacBook Air than the old Magic Keyboard.

I’m ready to place my order but would like a few more hands on impressions of the keyboard. Is there an embargo on showing anyone using it?

Apple doesn't even know how much the new keyboards weigh. I wonder if the new iPads are available to touch at Apple stores, and whether the keyboards are there too. I guess if they were, there'd be a youtube of them by now.
I don’t think new products are ever in the store before you can walk out with one. Except maybe Vision Pro.
