Are the keys on the newest Bluetooth, rechargeable MK similar in feel to the original bluetooth battery keyboard, or are they more like the key feel of the Magic Keyboard for the iPP?

I just recently changed my iPad setup, and bought one of the battery bluetooth magic keyboards (not the newer rechargeable one), but I don’t LOVE the keys - feel like you have to press a lot harder than you did on my iPP MK. I’m just wondering if the newer version might have a different feel.

I hope this makes sense, and appreciate the feedback.
 
I have both - the newer (rechargeable) version has slightly less key travel than the old (battery) version, otherwise fairly similar.
Slightly flatter angle, and slightly different arrow key layout too, if those matter to you.

Yeah I guess it’s the key travel I was thinking of. I don’t know if slightly less would really make much difference. I loved the feel of the MK for iPP, and was hoping for something similar. Originally I was thinking I wasn’t really gonna like that keyboard - I loved the ASK for the original pros, and did get another one of those, but using it isn’t the same since I’ve used the MK for the iPP.

Guess I’ll just stick with this battery one for now. I have the ASK for when I travel, but don’t like the low angle it gives me at my desk so I’m using this battery keyboard with a stand for my iPad, and really like that setup.
