Can the c.2010 Apple iPad Keyboard Dock Model A1359, which has 30-pin male and female connectors, be used successfully as an external keyboard with a late-model iPad Pro and/or MacBook Pro which uses USB-C (Thunderbolt 3 or 4) ports? Has anyone tested this by, for example, using a 30-pin male to USB Type A male adapter plus a USB Type A female to USB-C male cable?

LotusPilot, you misunderstood my question -- I want to use the vintage A1359 keyboard as an external keyboard for a current-model iPad (11" iPad Pro (2021)) and/or MacBook Pro (16" (2019). I was not referring to using the old iPhone models as keyboards...

It is very unlikely that anyone would attempt to connect an early model (and now long obsolete) iPad1, iPad2 or iPad3 to a recent iPad Pro featuring a USB-C port. Doing so would be utterly pointless.
An iPad cannot be used as a keyboard for another device.
Yes, I did misunderstand your question. However, A1359 the keyboard/dock is most definitely not usable with any current (or future) models of iPad.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to purchase or use any cheap USB keyboard and buy one USB-USB-C adapter?
I know THAT will work!
