Nice. My label printed the same time as yours, but it didn’t ship until 4/19 at 10:19pm. Maybe that mean’s I’ll get it tomorrow instead of Wednesday. Did you get the 11” or 12.9”?
Got a tip for us?

Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro Order Status

Same timeframe and status here too. I’m in Atlanta.
Which size did you order? I ordered an 11inch on 15th April at 4:15pm and I’m still stuck in PTS. I’m wondering you ordered the 12.9 keyboard?
Hmm.. I will mostly work through Microsoft Remote Desktop, VMware Horizon etc.. Which makes the lack of professional software on iPadOS itself redundant as my software is not actually running on the iPad itself.
But the touchpad/mouse integration is lacking and I'm not entirely sure if the limitation is iPadOS itself and it's API's or if the apps themselves are to blame.
A lot of things you'd expect to work and that actually works within iPadOS itself is not working through remote desktop applications. I can't use the touchpad for scrolling, I can't utilise right-click for context menus when remoting to Windows servers and desktops, to do a simple paste within a SSH window etc..
Things like this is limiting the overall user-experience. The big question is, can this be improved by the app developers themselves or is it Apple and their API's that is causing this to happen so unless Apple improves the API nothing can change?

I am using VMware on my iPad with a external mouse and I have no issues with pointing/clicking/scrolling. I hope the new keyboard will be a seamless experience as well.
Anyone have any luck or experience with Apple shipping stuff early? I literally ordered a couple hours late and got the 04/05 - 11/05 wave
Weird, I ordered mine on Friday night around 7:00 PM EST in the US and got the estimated arrival date of 04/28 - 5/05. I'm praying for an early shipment!!!

I'm just curious, if someone came up to you right now that had one in hand, what's the most you guys would pay?
What RDP application are you using? I am finding that Microsoft RDP Client doesn't have iOS 13.4 support yet, including right-clicking etc.
However, JumpDesktop (RDP or FLUID) seems to have full support at this time, as does "Screens" (VNC).
Check out these alternatives in the meantime - and I bet eventually we'll see the official Microsoft RDP Client updated to remain competitive to these alternatives.
At last a despatch notification for delivery tomorrow 
I use RDP a lot, I use Jump Desktop because it's awesome (supports things like SSH gateways), but also because it's supported the citrix X1 mouse for a long time, so using windows on the iPad felt like a native experience (whether that's good or bad....)
I highly recommend it on both iOS/iPadOS and Mac OS. The Windows version only supports Fluid, if it had parity with the Apple versions I'd probably buy a copy, it's free on Windows I assume because it's nowhere near as complete a piece of software as it is on iDevice/Mac.
We replied at the same-ish time, Jump Desktop is hands down the best RDP client I've used. I also have licenses of Screens, Remoter and others, but Jump is the one I settled on and use as a daily driver. The Citrix X1 support was worth its weight in gold over the past few years.
I honestly can’t believe mine is still in processing. Ordered within hour of preorder launch, paid with Apple Pay with my Apple Card. Live maybe 20 mins from their distribution center in So Cal. I would have thought it would at least be in PTS. This is weird.
Delivery now says Apr 23-30. Thats a pretty wide freaking estimate.

I have just downloaded this and it has sorta blown my mind. Having two issues with it - have you managed to sort this? Removing onto 27” Retina iMac.
1. The display is blurry - looks like it doesn’t support retina.
2. Keyboard shortcuts like copy/paste and Cmd+Q don’t seem to work.
My order time was the same as yours and mine is still PFD I’m hopeful it will change this evening.
If you are remoting to a Mac then it'll be using VNC as standard, so you'll get scaling....However, install the Fluid Client onto the Mac and bit the link on the left hand side of the window, sign into the same account you're using for Jump Desktops site and then your computer should appear in Jump desktop, when you connect to it using Fluid it will resize the display.
I use VNC for Linux mainly, but have the desktop resolution set to the same as the iPad as I only ever access my Linux machines headless.
For windows always use RDP, it's lightning quick. It's a shame that Apple has not invested effort in a system like it and relies on VNC.
Edit:
I personally don't have any issues with keyboard shortcuts, there are a few settings in Jump and on each virtual machine that may be worth taking a look at. If not, tweet or email the Devs, they're very responsive and helpful.
Edit 2:
I can also recommended Blink Shell as well for iOS. it's my goto ssh/mosh client on the ipad/iphone, it is command line driven, but it's so natural and really great to use.

Thanks, that’s really helpful. I have an old gaming Windows desktop somewhere in the garage. Will try plugging it in. That way the iPad has access to Mac + Windows + iOS - that’s insane!

Interesting that it is a mix between DHL and DPD. I’d prefer the later but let’s see what DHL manage with tomorrow. My status on DHL site is still just ‘collected’.
I am guessing the latest time I could see a dispatch is 8pm tonight to be sure it will arrive tomorrow ?
