I’m just curious to see if anyone who has shelled out $350 for this keyboard case can tell me their opinion on it.

I bought this 3rd party keyboard case with a track pad off of Amazon and the trackpad is terrible. The trackpad picks up accidental touches worse than any device I’ve ever seen.

I have a hard time dropping the money on a device like this, but if you have this keyboard case.. is the trackpad as good as the reviews state? Does it suffer from accidental touches? Any recommendations would be helpful to me.

It works better than any other keyboard and track pad i've ever used for an Apple device.

I’m leaning towards getting it since I’m using my iPad as my primary computer. Do you think it was worth it?

I’m as big an Apple fanboi as they come, but damn if I’m gonna spend hundreds on a goddamn keyboard.

I just purchased it. I can’t say that is it worth the price I paid, but I can tell you it is excellent. There is really no comparison between that 3rd party one and this magic keyboard.

Logitech made this case called the Folio Touch and it looks incredible but they decided not to make a 12.9 version so I was left out in the cold.

Logitech MX Keyboard

This keyboard is amazing. Swap it between 3 devices with one button. Pair it with the MX mouse from the same company. Cool feature with the mouse is you can copy and paste documents and files between the three pc’s / devices you pair with.

It's worth every penny for me....I also use the iPad as my primary personal device.

I admittedly have an iPad mini 4 (I think) so it's been a while, but how are you guys using these as your primary device?

How can you create content, save files, etc? Aren't they extremely limited in that regard?

They used to be. I wouldn’t say the files app is as robust as what you would find on a regular computer but I have no issues saving all of my files on this device and they all stay on my iCloud Drive. I also keep a google drive that is only for work files.

This magic keyboard has made it feel exactly like a lap top now and it works smooth as butter. There isn’t really anything that I can’t do that I would need to on this device.
