Why Choose the Apple Magic Keyboard for 12.9-inch iPad Pro?
The Apple Magic Keyboard addresses key buyer pain points: lack of laptop-like functionality, poor typing comfort, and insufficient device protection. Priced at KShs 44,000 in Kenya, it combines a backlit scissor mechanism, a multi-gesture trackpad, and a floating cantilever design to turn your iPad Pro into a versatile workstation. Unlike cheaper Bluetooth keyboards, it offers seamless magnetic attachment, adjustable viewing angles, and front-and-back protection, ensuring durability and portability. Kenyan users praise its “laptop-like typing experience” and “sturdy build,” making it a top choice for hybrid work and study.
Key Features and Benefits
- Superior Typing Experience: Full-size, backlit keys with a 1mm-travel scissor mechanism provide quiet, responsive typing, ideal for long coding sessions or writing in low-light environments.
- Built-In Trackpad: The large, glass trackpad with haptic feedback supports Multi-Touch gestures and iPadOS cursor control, enhancing precision for tasks like video editing or document navigation.
- Floating Cantilever Design: Magnetically attaches your iPad Pro, allowing smooth angle adjustments for the perfect viewing position, whether working at a desk or on the go.
- USB-C Pass-Through Charging: Charges your iPad via a USB-C port on the keyboard’s hinge, freeing the iPad’s port for accessories like external drives or displays.
- Front and Back Protection: Folds into a protective case, safeguarding your iPad Pro from scratches and drops during travel, perfect for Kenyan commuters.
- 14-Key Function Row: Offers quick access to brightness, volume, and media controls, boosting productivity for professionals and students.
- Trade-In Program at Price Point Electronics: Reduce the KShs 44,000 price by trading in your old keyboard or device. Contact us to evaluate your trade-in and save more!
How Does It Compare?
Compared to alternatives like the Logitech Combo Touch (KShs 28,000) or Brydge 12.9 MAX+ (KShs 25,000), the Apple Magic Keyboard stands out for its premium build and seamless iPadOS integration. The Logitech Combo Touch offers a detachable keyboard and lower price but lacks the Magic Keyboard’s backlit keys and precise trackpad. The Brydge 12.9 MAX+ provides a laptop-like aluminum build but has less reliable Bluetooth connectivity and no pass-through charging. Amazon reviews highlight the Magic Keyboard’s “flawless design” and “firm keys,” though some note its weight (710g) as heavier than expected. For Kenyan users seeking a high-end, all-in-one solution, the Magic Keyboard excels.
Addressing Buyer Pain Points
- Cost Concerns: At KShs 44,000, it’s a premium accessory, but our trade-in program at Price Point Electronics offsets costs by accepting old keyboards or devices, making it accessible for Kenyan buyers.
- Typing Comfort: The backlit scissor keys reduce strain during long typing sessions, ideal for students or professionals with arthritis or those in shared workspaces.
- Portability and Protection: The foldable case and magnetic design protect your iPad while remaining portable, addressing concerns about damage during travel in Kenya’s busy cities.
- Weight: While heavier than some alternatives (710g), its sturdy aluminum palm rest and protective cover ensure stability and durability, as noted by users.
- Battery Life: No separate battery is needed, as it draws power directly from the iPad, eliminating charging hassles compared to Bluetooth keyboards.
Who Is the Apple Magic Keyboard for 12.9-inch iPad Pro For?

- Students: University students in Nairobi or Eldoret requiring a portable, durable keyboard for note-taking and assignments.
