The Smart Keyboard combines an array of new technologies & materials to create a keyboard like no other. Its incredibly portable & connects to iPad Pro with the Smart Connector, an innovative new interface that allows for a two-way exchange of power & data. Just attach the Smart Keyboard & start typing. Easy to use
- even easier to take with you Simply unfold the Smart Keyboard when you need it. When you dont, fold it up & it becomes a slim, lightweight cover for iPad Pro. The elegant design is also durable, so it can withstand everyday use. Your words matter, so Apple protects each letter The letters & 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 thats 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. & its coated in a water- & stain-resistant finish, so the Smart Keyboard is resistant to stains & spilling. Powerful communication To make a device as thin & durable as the Smart Keyboard, Apple couldnt rely on traditional wires or components. By etching a paper-thin sheet of nylon with metal, Apple created a unique conductive material that allows for a two-way flow of power & data. So you dont charge the Smart Keyboard. Attach it to iPad Pro & start typing. & just as important, the conductive material is durable enough to withstand a lifetime of folding & 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 from durable polyurethane & the bottom layer is a soft microfiber lining, which protects the screen & keeps it clean when the Smart Keyboard is folded. The middle layer is what makes the Smart Keyboard truly advanced. Its composed of a new conductive fabric material that ensures seamless communication between iPad Pro & the Smart Keyboard. No plugs, no switches, no pairing The Smart Connector is an Apple-designed interface that allows seamless communication between the Smart Keyboard & iPad Pro. Youll 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 & data. So you can enjoy a simple yet sophisticated way to type.
