iPad Pro keyboard disassembly: Fully conductive, repairable

The foreign website ifixit disassembled the iPad Pro's Smart Keyboard. The product is covered with nylon fabric on the outside and an ultra-thin circuit board on the inside. There are no wires inside, and the entire layer is conductive.

Compared to the Apple Pencil, the Smart Keyboard does not have much "black technology" inside, because the whole is printed and packaged, and there are no screws or anything like that on its surface. The only way to disassemble it is to use a utility knife to cut open the outer fabric (Apple officials did not specify the specific material, it should be nylon).

Although the Smart Keyboard is relatively thin, it also has a complete key structure, which makes its feel not too bad. The circuit board is in the center of the keyboard, but there is no LED light or battery . This product uses a wired connection, so no battery is required.

Because the keyboard is waterproof, it is airtight, and there are two small vents at the joints that release the air pressure inside the keyboard when a key is pressed.

The "conductive cloth" design should be the most amazing thing about this keyboard. It does not use wires, but an overall conductive material, so there will be no problem of wire breakage and connection failure after long-term use.

ifixit believes that the chances of repairing this keyboard are zero. Once it is disassembled, it is useless and there is no possibility of repair.
