Is iPad Smart Keyboard worth it?

If you are in need of a portable device to type on then yes! Apple’s Smart Keyboard has almost the same feel as the new Macbooks’ keyboards. They have the butterfly mechanism keys. This means that the key travel isn’t as much as your average keyboard, but I still find it very comfortable to use.

What is the difference between Smart Keyboard and Magic Keyboard?

Here’s an easy one: The Magic Keyboard has a trackpad and the Smart Folio Keyboard and Smart Keyboard don’t. That’s a massive advantage in the Magic Keyboard’s favor as you’ll have to hook up an external mouse or trackpad to get the same effect with a Smart Keyboard.
