Q: I just picked up a 12inch I pad PRO and purchased a keyboard provided by Apple however I find that the base remains unstable and keeps shaking when you type, the seller tells he it is a design fault. Can anyone tell me if that is the case?

    If the seller is an authorized Apple reseller, an independent business,

    you may have to ask if you could see & try a different sample product

    because you may be looking at something that has a defect.

     

    {According to the linked Support page, the Type position should be more

    stable to use; however if the keyboard is not flat, that sounds like defect.}

     

    Sounds as though you aren't at an official Apple Store (apple retail)

    but instead are somewhere else. Could you provide more information?

     

    Some keyboard accessories are made by third party businesses; so

    if the product has an Apple product model number on it, note it here.

     

    When considering the purchase of an accessory, it is a good idea to test

    and check it in the retail store before buying. An official Apple Store has

    a different return policy than an authorized independent Apple reseller.

     

    Not sure if I can be of help; these discussion areas are generally Apple

    product users such as yourself, who have taken their spare unpaid time

    to see if they can help other product users.

     

    Good luck...!

    THank you for making a effort to reply and help me. Yes this is an authorized Apple reseller and the keyboard too was Apple. So after over half an hour of discussions with the sales rep, he finally agreed to give a credit note. I then had to go to another larger store to see if I a demo piece. And sure enough, the one here worked just fine. So there i was after having wasted half a day, with a new keyboard that holds firm.

    My advise to all those who are planning to buy this accessory, please check it at the shop itself before you walk out.
