The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic is Apple’s keyboard case for the large iPad Pro, here in black with Arabic characters printed on the keys, Apple part number MWR53AB. Apple now sells it as the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) and lists exactly two compatible tablets: the iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) and the iPad Pro 13-inch (M4). It needs iPadOS 17.4 or later. Apple has not changed the part number between the M4 and M5 names, so a box marked either way is the same accessory.

Arabic letters printed on the keys
The point of the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic is that the Arabic alphabet is printed on the keycaps at the factory. Any iPad can switch its input language in Settings, but on a US English keyboard you type Arabic from memory. With the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic, the letters you need are in front of you, which matters for anyone writing reports, messages or university work in Arabic every day. Apple lists Arabic as one of the layouts for this model on its UAE store, next to US English and International English. Apple does not publish a key-by-key drawing of the Arabic layout in its specifications, so the product photos are the best guide to how the characters are arranged.
Which iPads it fits, and which it does not
Apple’s compatibility list for the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic has two entries: iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) and iPad Pro 13-inch (M4). It does not fit the iPad Pro 11-inch, which has its own smaller Magic Keyboard. It does not fit the iPad Air 13-inch either, even though the screen size is similar: Apple sells a separate Magic Keyboard for iPad Air. The older 12.9-inch iPad Pro models with M1 or M2 chips use the earlier Magic Keyboard and are not on the list. Before ordering, check the model of your iPad under Settings, General, About, and confirm that it runs iPadOS 17.4 or later.
Function row, backlit keys and glass trackpad
Apple added a 14-key function row to this generation, giving direct keys for screen brightness, volume and other controls without reaching for the display. The keys are backlit and sit on a scissor mechanism with 1 mm of travel, which Apple describes as quiet and responsive typing; 1 mm is a short, firm press compared with a deep desktop keyboard. Below the keys, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic has a larger glass trackpad with haptic feedback, so a click is simulated by vibration rather than a moving plate. It supports Multi-Touch gestures and the pointer in iPadOS, which makes editing long documents and spreadsheets much faster than tapping the screen.
Hinge, charging and stand
The hinge is machined aluminium and contains a USB-C connector for pass-through charging. Plug the charging cable into the hinge and the iPad Pro charges while its own USB-C port stays free for a drive, a display or a camera. Apple calls the stand a floating cantilever design: the iPad appears to hover above the keys and can be tilted smoothly to several viewing angles. The palm rest is aluminium. Closed, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic folds into a case that covers the front and back of the iPad Pro, so you do not need a separate cover for the bag.
Black finish and everyday use
The black Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic suits a Space Black iPad Pro and hides marks from daily handling better than the white one, which matters on a keyboard that travels between home, office and lectures every day. Wipe the palm rest and keys with a soft, slightly damp cloth and keep liquids away from the hinge. Apple does not publish a weight or dimensions for the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic, so we cannot give a figure for how much it adds to the iPad; expect a noticeable increase over the tablet alone, closer to carrying a thin laptop.
Who This Is Not For
The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch Arabic does not suit anyone with an iPad Pro 11-inch, an iPad Air of any size, a standard iPad, an iPad mini or a 12.9-inch iPad Pro from the M2 generation or earlier; Apple lists only the iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) and (M4). It is not for typists who type mainly in English and prefer clean US English keycaps, and it is not for buyers who need an official weight figure, because Apple does not publish one. If you only want screen protection, a simple folio is far cheaper than a full keyboard and trackpad.
