I just purchased the new 12.9 iPad. Looking at the apple keyboard. Two questions: 1. Use my apple pen a lot, looks like no place to store it on the keyboard?, 2. can I use it on the mouse part of the keyboard or do I have to remove iPad from the case? 3. can I use the mouse to draw with and is it easy and accurate?
Thanks so much for any help.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 13
The Magic Keyboard for iPad does not stop you from attaching apple pencil. The iPad magnetically attaches to the keyboard, leaving the charging pad for the pencil completely available.
The Magic Keyboard has a Track Pad, not a mouse. Your question about using the pencil on the Track Pad doesn't make sense. The Track Pad and Apple Pencil do not work together.
You do NOT draw with the Track Pad. You draw with the Apple Pencil. You will find that using Apple Pencil is better if you simply remove the iPad from the Magic Keyboard and place the iPad on a flat surface to draw on.

You're welcome. When I travel with my iPad/Keyboard/Pencil, I put the pencil is a case so I can't lose it. Otherwise, he pencil just hangs out on the magnetic charging plate on the side of the iPad, which when positioned in the Magic Keyboard is on top.
Thank you very helpful, sorry meant to say track pad. Wasn't sure it the track pad allowed me to use the pencil on it or if I had to remove the iPad. Makes sense to have to remove iPad and use pencil that way. Second was hoping that the new keyboard had a slot at the charging pad to hold the pencil better so I didn't loose it or have it fall off.
Thanks again. will have to try it.
