    A necessity!
    I wish I would have purchased this sooner. I’m typing with it right now and it is so convenient. It’s so easy to connect, no charging necessary, no blue tooth, it’s just a magnetic strip that connects it to the iPad. Highly recommended. I only wish that it came with the backlit LED like the MacBook and Magic Keyboard have. Other than that, love ittt
