Tablet Keyboards

A tablet keyboard turns a tablet into something you can genuinely write on, and there are two kinds.

Integrated keyboard cases attach magnetically, prop the tablet at a viewing angle and protect it when closed. Apple’s Magic Keyboard for iPad adds a trackpad, which is what makes iPadOS behave like a laptop rather than a large phone. These are model-specific — cut for a particular tablet’s exact dimensions and connector position — so check the generation and size named in the listing against your device. An “iPad 11-inch” case is not one product; the year matters.

Standalone Bluetooth keyboards pair with anything and are not tied to a model. They are cheaper and more flexible, and many pair with two or three devices at once so the same board serves a tablet, a phone and a laptop. The trade is that the tablet needs its own stand or case.
