Apple external keyboards for iPad
These portable full-size keyboards (available separately) allow you to enter text while viewing the entire iPad screen.
Magic Keyboard for iPad
Magic Keyboard for iPad attaches directly to iPad and closes to create a thin cover (supported models, iPadOS 13.4 or later required). It includes a built-in trackpad, which you can use to move around the iPad screen, open apps, and more. Magic Keyboard for iPad requires no batteries or external power (but you can connect it to power to keep iPad charged).
