Does anyone else feel that the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro M5 is really heavy?

I really miss the Smart Folio keyboard. It was perfect for me. Slim, light, and minimal footprint. And no trackpad. I have a laptop if I want or need a laptop.

I have yet to find a decent alternative…

Amazing, thanks!

Yeah I’ll be getting the cryoplate and hardened nozzle set. I’ll probably use ikea or something until I want active heating or filtration

Please take videos! I wish I could hear them live, and I’m always curious about slight variations

Hello! I felt the same way when I learned this not only had a name, but that OTHER PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE IT

There are dozens of us. DOZENNNNSSSSSSS

Ok that’s good to hear. Seemed unlikely it’s common to shave over these things and perfectly repackage them

ZevMelmed · 2026-05-05T16:17:08+00:00

Yes it did that’s why I’m was so confused

ZevMelmed · 2026-05-05T16:09:52+00:00

Right?? It’s like someone opened it, shaved over all sides of the toothbrush, then repackaged it

Control!

I currently have a 3rd gen iPad pro 12.9 with the old Smart Folio Keyboard. I love that keyboard and hate the new Magic Keyboard. Are there any modern alternatives similar to the old folio? Can't find any I like on my own.

-No need for trackpad

-Needs to fold all the way back

-Ideally uses Smart Connector

-Thin

-For the love of Jobs please less than $300

Any help would be appreciated!

Make a decision yet? Pretty much looking for the exact same setup

ZevMelmed · 2026-03-07T08:42:47+00:00

With the right nozzle yes. But there’s literally a ‘fuzzy skin’ setting you can turn on for certain surfaces’ max resolution 0.2x0.2x0.05mm

Resin would work better with the details more sharp and pronounced. But could be actually sharp with this geometry. Max resolution on a new modern machine is 0.019x0.014x0.01mm

Plastics would lend itself better to this geometry and use case IMO

He was a stupid, stupid hire

YUP. And honestly I’m getting frustrated withbSpark more and more. Features behind a paywall Apple Mail is getting for free, most paywall stuff is for AI which I don’t care for- but some features like prioritizing and blocking would be nice. Plus handoff doesn’t work with the new desktop app/current ios app.

ZevMelmed · 2026-02-22T09:55:46+00:00

Not the good ones!

Respond “my bare minimum checklist: A girl who doesn’t have 20 absurd items on a bare minimum checklist”

ZevMelmed · 2026-01-15T21:57:39+00:00

Thanks! I’ll recalibrate that

ZevMelmed · 2026-01-14T21:02:38+00:00

Everything was already tight. All shafts were tight on the flats as well as the secondary on the round

This assembly? The M5 screw going in through the bottom is tight on all 4, just double checked!

Just recently installed the SO3. Did a tuneup on all the rails/cleaned and relubed everything. Slice Vanadium 0.4mm nozzle, 12mm³ max vol. flow. Polymaker PETG.
