Apple Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro 10.5-inch 2017, New
Offered as the Apple Ipad pro 10.5 Smart Keyboard 2017, this is a new Smart Connector folio keyboard for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, with no battery and no pairing step. It also fits the 2019 iPad Air and the 10.2-inch iPad, which makes it a safe add-on for mixed tablet lots. Fleet buyers and refurbishers who ship keyboards with every unit are the usual customers.
The Smart Keyboard for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro is Apple's 2017 fabric-covered folio keyboard. It draws power and data through the three-pin Smart Connector on the tablet's edge, so there is no battery to charge and no Bluetooth pairing, and it folds into a front cover when closed. The keys are full size under a spill-resistant woven surface, with no backlight and no trackpad; the case leaves the back of the iPad exposed.
Resellers take this accessory from TG Wireless to bundle with refurbished 10.5-inch iPad Pro lots, to supply corporate fleets that issue keyboards with their tablets, and for repair and refurbishment shops that complete trade-in units before resale.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
This is an accessory, so the network paragraph is about fit. The Smart Keyboard connects through the Smart Connector and works with the iPad Pro 10.5-inch (2017), the third-generation iPad Air (2019), and the 10.2-inch iPad from the seventh through ninth generations, all of which share the same connector position. It does not fit the 9.7-inch or 11-inch iPad Pro, the 12.9-inch models, or any iPad mini. Keyboard layout is per lot; see the network status line in the table and confirm the layout with your account manager.
