Overview

The Apple Smart Keyboard (MPTL2PO/A) is a Portuguese-layout keyboard designed for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, with additional compatibility for the iPad Air 10.5-inch and iPad 10.2-inch. It connects through Apple's Smart Connector — a three-pin magnetic interface on the iPad's edge — which eliminates Bluetooth pairing entirely and draws power directly from the tablet. There is no internal battery, no charging cable, and no setup process: you attach it magnetically and start typing. The full-size layout provides all standard keys in the Portuguese configuration, including dedicated accent and special character positions.

This keyboard is built for iPad users who need a typing solution that stays attached to their device without adding significant weight or complexity. When folded, it serves as a slim front cover that protects the display. When opened into typing position, it holds the iPad at a single fixed angle. The fabric-covered keys are spill-resistant and wipe clean, though they offer shallower travel than scissor-switch laptop keyboards. For students, professionals, and travelers who produce moderate amounts of text — emails, notes, short documents — the Smart Keyboard's zero-maintenance design and instant readiness make it one of the most frictionless iPad typing solutions available, with the trade-off being a fixed angle and the absence of backlighting.
