Yes! I've tried out way too many keyboards in the last few years and the Magic Keyboard is by far my favorite. I'm not as big of a fan of the trackpad but before this announcement I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how I could use the Magic Keyboard with my Mac Mini.
I'm a pretty big fan of it, too. Kind of like that bouncier rubberized feel. That said... it really needs an escape key, hah.
You can map caps lock to escape. Settings, Keyboard, Hardware Keyboard, Modifier Keys. Unfortunately the system and many apps still aren’t expecting escape input in places they should be.
Well, it’s only the mac’s mouse and keyboard that can control the iPad and not viceversa
iPads can already sort of control a Mac via Sidecar. Not entirely the same thing but it's there.
Asked Apple “on background” about this. They confirmed it’s only the Mac that can control other devices with its peripherals
