iPad keyboards

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).

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.

The Magic Keyboard is primarily designed for the iPad Pro and newer iPad Air models (3rd generation and later). It may not work with older iPads, as they lack a Smart Connector 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.
