Thanks to Community Member abangr for finding this deal.

Note: This keyboard is also fully functional with the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th and 6th generation), but due to the slightly thicker design (6.4mm vs. 5.9 mm) of those iPad models, users report that the cover will only partially close (will not close completely flat).

  • Full-size, backlit keys and a scissor mechanism with 1mm travel for quiet, responsive typing
  • Designed for Multi-Touch gestures and the cursor in iPadOS
  • Smooth angle adjustability delivers the perfect viewing angle
  • USB-C port for charging iPad Pro, freeing up the port on iPad Pro for other accessories
  • Folds into a case to provide front and back protection for traveling with iPad Pro
  • This Apple Magic Keyboard officially supports the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd and 4th generation) models with perfect fitment.

I know, I know.. it is still an overpriced keyboard even at the lowered price of $179.99.
Still, I think the discount is really good for new (not refurbished).
The used ones from the same seller are $159.99.

Is this one just as good as the newer model or should I hold out for the newer model? Read about this one not being able to fully close.

No difference from what I can tell. I bought one refurbished from woot last Christmas and passed it on to a family member.

I bought one of these during a previous sale and was a bit skeptical. The keyboard shipped quickly in shrinkwrapped original Apple packaging. The only catch is that service is handled by OWC - if you check the serial number with Apple it will say out of warranty. Worth it!

How well does this case work with iPad 6th? A little bit worried over the special note on the website.

It shipped faster than the 7-10 days than what's mentioned at the checkout?

I don't recall, but it was within reason. I went back and looked at my order and I paid $199 for the newer version that is compatible with the latest iPad - so this is a better deal if you have an older gen iPad where it can close flush.

I believe that you can contact Apple to have the warranty updated for devices based on your purchase date. Not sure if this applies to accessories though.

Great deal on new… but NEW 12.9 (or possibly larger) is just around the corner, so make sure you want to keep using your 2018-2022 12.9 for a while.
