Some may lament the top row of keys found on many standard keyboards, so there's no esc button, for example. You hold down Option and then the letter you want to add the accent to, so Option E plus E gets you é, for example (see Apple's guidance for more instructions). It's also fairly easy to add special characters or accents using the keyboard. In short, it feels pretty much like using a 'real keyboard', just smaller, and probably quieter. Although the Magic Keyboard is relatively small, the keys feel well spaced out and I don't ever feel like my fingers are knocking into each other. The Magic Keyboard for iPad keyboard has a scissor mechanism, and typing on it is a pleasant and quiet experience.

The angle is adjustable in a way that feels natural, and you can close the whole thing up to protect your iPad, with the camera still visible. There's pretty much no way that the Magic Keyboard can accidentally come apart from the iPad. In terms of design, the keyboard magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro in a way that feels, well, quite magical. It's weighty enough to make you think twice about putting it in your bag for the day for sure, but not so heavy your back aches at the end of a day of carrying it around (hopefully not, anyway). I weighed it on my kitchen scales and it was 609g / 1.34lb making the keyboard and the iPad Pro 1086g / 2.39lb altogether – pretty heavy for a 'portable' piece of kit. It's a lot heavier than the keyboard I use for my MacBook – a Dell Wired keyboard (KB2161) – and it's interesting that Apple doesn't actually say how heavy it is. This isn't just a flimsy snap on keyboard and case, but more like a piece of kit in itself. The first thing you notice about the Magic Keyboard is how heavy it is.
