New or refurbished: finding your iPad keyboard

This page brings together the Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard and other keyboard cases, some new, some tested and refurbished. A refurbished keyboard is the cheaper route if you want a genuine Apple model without paying the new price.

Compatibility matters more than condition. Before you buy, compare the product title with your iPad’s model and generation. It’s also worth checking the key layout, such as QWERTZ or QWERTY.

If you draw or take notes as well as type, have a look at our stylus pens. For protection without keys, there are cases among our iPad accessories. Collect in our stores and return within 14 days.

FAQ iPad keyboards

Let’s take a look together at the benefits and important considerations when buying.

Which keyboards are compatible with the iPad?

There are several types of keyboards compatible with the iPad:

Apple's own keyboards: The Smart Keyboard and the Magic Keyboard, designed specifically for iPads.

Bluetooth keyboards: Many third-party wireless Bluetooth keyboards, such as those from Logitech, Anker, or Brydge, can be connected to iPads.

USB-C/Lightning keyboards: Wired keyboards can also be used with a USB-C adapter (for iPads with a USB-C port) or a Lightning adapter (for older models).

What is the difference between Apple's Smart Keyboard and Magic Keyboard?

Smart Keyboard: Thin, lightweight, and foldable. It has no trackpad and offers a simpler, flexible protective case. It attaches magnetically to the iPad and uses no battery.

Magic Keyboard: Higher quality with an integrated trackpad, backlighting, and a floating design that slightly elevates the iPad. It also features a USB-C pass-through port for charging the iPad.

Does the iPad Magic Keyboard also work with older iPads?

The Magic Keyboard is primarily designed for the iPad Pro and newer iPad Air models (4th generation and later). It does not work with older iPads, as their Smart Connector is positioned differently or missing and the form factor is incompatible. However, for older iPads, there is the Smart Keyboard and many third-party options available. Compatibility is always indicated in the product title on Revendo's website.

What are the advantages of an external keyboard for the iPad?

An external keyboard can transform the iPad into a more powerful work tool. Advantages include:

Faster typing, especially with longer texts.

The use of keyboard shortcuts increases efficiency.

Using a trackpad or mouse improves precision when working with text and apps.

Improved ergonomics compared to using the on-screen keyboard.

How do you connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the iPad?

Open Settings on your iPad.

Go to Bluetooth and turn it on.

Turn on your Bluetooth keyboard and put it into pairing mode.

Select the keyboard from the list of available devices and follow the on-screen instructions to connect.

Are there keyboards with built-in protective cases for the iPad?

Yes, many keyboards, including the Apple Smart Keyboard and the Magic Keyboard, also function as protective cases. Third-party manufacturers like Logitech also offer keyboards with integrated cases that protect the iPad while providing keyboard functionality.

Is it possible to change the key layout of the iPad keyboard?

Yes, you can customize the key layout under Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard. For example, you can switch between different layouts such as QWERTZ, QWERTY, or AZERTY.
