Product Description

Apple Smart Keyboard

The Smart Keyboard combines an array of new technologies and materials to create a keyboard like no other.* It’s a full‑size keyboard that’s fully portable, and connects to iPad Pro with the Smart Connector, an innovative new interface that allows for a two‑way exchange of power and data. Just attach the Smart Keyboard and start typing.
 
Easy to use. Even easier to take with you.
Simply unfold the Smart Keyboard when you need it. When you don’t, fold it up and it becomes a slim, lightweight cover for iPad Pro. The elegant design is also durable, so it can withstand everyday use. And your 23rd draft.
 
Your words matter, so we protect each letter.
The letters and numbers may be the same, but everything else about the Smart Keyboard is completely new. Its top layer is crafted from a sheet of highly durable custom-woven fabric that’s laser ablated to form the shape of each key. The fabric also provides the spring-like tension for each key, eliminating the need for conventional mechanisms. So the Smart Keyboard is just 4 mm thin while providing the accuracy, stability, and satisfying key feel you expect.

64 seamless keys.
Unlike traditional keyboards, there are no gaps between keys. And it’s coated in a water‑ and stain‑resistant finish, so the Smart Keyboard is resistant to stains and spilling.
 
Powerful communication. Powered in a brand‑new way.
To make a device as thin and durable as the Smart Keyboard, we couldn’t rely on traditional wires or components. By etching a paper-thin sheet of nylon with metal, we created a unique conductive material that allows for a two-way flow of power and data. So you don’t charge the Smart Keyboard. Attach it to iPad Pro and start typing. And just as important, the conductive material is durable enough to withstand a lifetime of folding and unfolding.
 
Three layers of ingenuity.
The cover panels of the Smart Keyboard are composed of three materials. Just like the Smart Cover, the top layer is made of durable polyurethane and the bottom layer is a soft microfiber lining, which protects the screen and keeps it clean when the Smart Keyboard is folded. The middle layer is what makes the Smart Keyboard truly advanced. It’s composed of a new conductive fabric material that ensures seamless communication between iPad Pro and the Smart Keyboard.
 
No plugs. No switches. No pairing.
The Smart Connector is a new Apple‑designed interface that allows seamless communication between the Smart Keyboard and iPad Pro. You’ll find it on the connecting edge of the Smart Keyboard as well as on the side of iPad Pro. The Smart Connector works hand in hand with the conductive fabric inside the Smart Keyboard to allow for a two‑way exchange of power and data. So you can enjoy a simple yet sophisticated way to type.
 
Shortcuts at your fingertips.
iOS 9 works seamlessly with the Smart Keyboard, adding a variety of useful QuickType features to your iPad Pro.
 
Time-saving shortcuts
Use keyboard shortcuts to perform even more commands on your iPad Pro — like switching between apps or bringing up search with your Smart Keyboard. And interact with your apps using their own built-in custom shortcuts. Just press and hold a key like Command, Option, or Control to see shortcuts in any app.
 
Onscreen Shortcut Bar
Bold, italicize, or underline — even copy and paste — with just a couple of taps. The Shortcut Bar can also be customized for third‑party apps, so the tools you need are always right where you need them.
 

Returning Apple keyboards, charging cases, and leather cases requires original packaging along with matching serial number(s).
