Apple, somewhat confusingly, uses the “Magic Keyboard” name to describe multiple keyboards in its product portfolio.

The Magic Keyboard for iPad is specifically designed to connect with compatible models of iPad using the iPad Smart Connector. This is a three-contact electrical connection on the rear panel of the iPad that mates with three corresponding contacts on the keyboard.

By contrast, the “Magic Keyboard”, principally designed for Mac computers, is a standalone Bluetooth Keyboard that is compatible with iPad. Here is an example:
