Bought a new iPad Pro and thinking about the Magic Keyboard? Before spending up to £350, you might want to see this. In this video, I unbox and test the ESR Magnetic Keyboard Case 360 — a £120 alternative that looks almost identical to Apple’s Magic Keyboard but costs a fraction of the price. With the included magnetic iPad case, this keyboard will give your lovely new iPad all the protection it needs.

About This Video

So you’ve just bought a shiny new iPad Pro and you’re eyeing up Apple’s Magic Keyboard… and then you see the price. In this video I unbox and properly test the ESR Magnetic Keyboard Case 360, which cost me £120 and looks eerily similar to Apple’s £350 Magic Keyboard. ESR haven’t sponsored this in any way—I bought it with my own money—so this is just my honest take after pairing it up and using it like I would day-to-day. I go through what you’re actually giving up (and what you’re gaining). The ESR is Bluetooth, so there’s no Smart Connector power or pass-through charging like the Magic Keyboard, and you’ll need to charge the keyboard itself every few weeks depending on backlight use. The typing feel is a bit spongier and the trackpad is smaller (more like the older Magic Keyboard), but it’s still genuinely close for general work. The big win is the included protective case—proper corner bumpers, pencil flap, and all-round protection—and the killer feature: you can rotate the iPad into portrait mode on the keyboard to view full documents, which you simply can’t do on Apple’s Magic Keyboard.
