How to Connect Magic Keyboard to Your iPad
The Magic Keyboard is a popular accessory for Apple users, providing a comfortable typing experience and a sleek design. While the keyboard is primarily designed for use with Mac computers, it’s also possible to connect it to an iPad for a more laptop-like experience. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at how to connect every Magic Keyboard to your iPad.
Requirements:
Before we get started, it’s important to note that not every Magic Keyboard is compatible with every iPad model. To connect your Magic Keyboard to an iPad, you’ll need an iPad running iOS 13.4 or later and a Magic Keyboard with a Lightning port or a USB-C port.
Connecting via Lightning:
If you have a Magic Keyboard with a Lightning port, connecting it to your iPad is easy. Simply plug the Lightning cable into the keyboard and then into the Lightning port on your iPad. Your iPad should automatically recognize the keyboard and start working with it right away.
Connecting via USB-C:
If you have a Magic Keyboard with a USB-C port, the process is slightly different. You’ll need a USB-C to USB-C cable or a USB-C to Lightning cable (depending on the iPad model) to connect the keyboard to your iPad. Once you have the cable, simply plug one end into the keyboard and the other end into the iPad’s USB-C port or Lightning port (depending on the cable you’re using).
Pairing:
Once you’ve connected your Magic Keyboard to your iPad, you may need to pair it before you can start using it. To do this, go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iPad and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then, press the power button on your Magic Keyboard to turn it on and put it in pairing mode. Your iPad should automatically detect the keyboard and prompt you to pair it. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.
Conclusion:
Connecting a Magic Keyboard to your iPad can be a great way to improve your productivity and make typing more comfortable. Whether you have a Lightning or USB-C version of the keyboard, it’s easy to connect and pair it with your iPad. By following the steps outlined in this blog, you’ll be able to start using your Magic Keyboard with your iPad in no time.
