The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch in Black with the US English layout is Apple’s keyboard case for the two most recent 11-inch iPad Pro generations. Apple now sells it under the name Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch (M5), and lists it as compatible with both the iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) and the iPad Pro 11-inch (M4). The part number is MWR23 (MWR23LL/A in Apple’s US store). It adds a 14-key function row, backlit keys, a glass trackpad with haptic feedback and an aluminium palm rest, and it folds closed to protect the iPad front and back.

Which iPad Pro the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch Fits
Compatibility is the first thing to check, because Apple has made several Magic Keyboards that look alike. Apple lists exactly two models for this one: iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) and iPad Pro 11-inch (M4). It requires iPadOS 17.4 or later.
It does not list the older iPad Pro 11-inch models with M1 or M2 chips, the iPad Air, or the standard iPad, so do not buy it for those. Apple sells separate keyboards for them. If you are unsure which iPad Pro you have, open Settings, then General, then About, and check the model name.
The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) and the earlier (M4) listing use the same part numbers, so a keyboard bought for an M4 iPad Pro also fits the M5, and the reverse.
The US English Layout and Who It Suits
This version has US English keycaps with Latin letters only. There are no Arabic characters printed on the keys. That makes it the right choice if you type mainly in English, if your muscle memory comes from a US-layout MacBook, or if you work in code, where US key positions for brackets, slashes and symbols are the standard.
You can still type Arabic: iPadOS lets you add an Arabic hardware keyboard layout in Settings and switch between languages. But the keys will not show the Arabic letters, so this only works well if you already touch-type Arabic. If you switch between Arabic and English every day and look at the keys, Apple’s Arabic-layout Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch is a separate product with its own part number, and we stock it separately.
Keys, Function Row and Trackpad
Apple describes the keys as backlit, with a scissor mechanism and 1 mm of travel. The 14-key function row across the top gives direct access to screen brightness, volume and other controls, so you do not need to reach for the screen or Control Center for them.
Below the keys is what Apple calls a larger glass trackpad with haptic feedback, built for precision tasks and Multi-Touch gestures. Haptic feedback means the click is a vibration rather than a hinge that physically moves, so it responds the same way wherever you press. Apple does not publish the trackpad’s dimensions, so we do not quote a size.
The palm rest is aluminium, which gives the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch a firmer, cooler surface under the wrists than a fabric cover.
Hinge, Charging and Protection
The hinge is machined aluminium and includes a USB-C connector for pass-through charging: you plug your charger into the hinge and the iPad charges while it sits on the keyboard. Apple describes the design as floating cantilever, which lets you adjust the viewing angle.
When you close it, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch folds into a case that protects the iPad on the front and back. Apple does not publish the weight or dimensions of this keyboard, so we cannot tell you exactly how much it adds to the iPad.
Black or White
Apple makes this keyboard in White and Black. Black is the practical choice for daily use: it hides marks from bags, desks and hands far better. The white version shows everyday dirt faster, especially on the palm rest and the outer cover.
The Black Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch suits students carrying it between classes, people who work from cafes, and anyone who puts the iPad in a bag every day and does not want to clean the case constantly.
Who This Is Not For
Not for owners of an iPad Pro with M1 or M2, an iPad Air or a standard iPad. Apple lists only the iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) and (M4).
Not for anyone who needs Arabic letters printed on the keys. This is the US English layout; the Arabic-layout version is a different product.
Not for anyone who wants a keyboard to use away from the iPad. It works while attached to the iPad, not as a separate keyboard across the room.
Not for buyers who need to know the added weight in advance. Apple does not publish a weight for this keyboard.
