I like to use my iPad and keyboard on my lap or laying on sofa pretty lazy I know.

With the Magic Keyboard its a whole new experience I love it.

Discovering whole new gestures using the trackpad Two finger swipe left and right to go back or forward pages is a game changer for me makes surfing the web on the iPad a real pleasure.

Anyone else know any trackpad tips for Safari?
 
I couldn’t agree more. Just got mine in and I am absolutely loving it. This is a real game changer for me and how I use my iPad now. It is exactly what I was hoping for years ago when Apple started labeling the iPads “Pro” models. A miniature computer that acts like an actual mini computer.

They keyboard is also excellent to type on.

Digging it. Wish Flipboard app supported trackpad swipes. I have to use arrow keys to flip pages.

Yes Flipboard is one of my main go to apps and it is now annoying that you cannot use the trackpad to swipe between pages.

You can use it but it weird, you have to click and hold while swiping over. The click and hold simulates your finger and the swype over to move the page. Until they get true mouse/touchpad support

Thanks for the response. This is kind of like patting my head and rubbing my tummy at the same time :) I may stick with the arrow keys. I'm glad people on these forums are willing to help each other!
 
I'm glad it supports mouse rollover functions. Some sites still use rollover queues to perform certain functions which never worked correctly with finger taps...
 
I wish the pointer was contextual; i.e. it changed color or shape when a link was hovered over. Maybe it is and i am missing something?
 
For anyone using Flipboard with the Magic Keyboard if you remap the Globe key to the Escape Key it makes things a lot easier.
