Hi all!

After purchasing the M1 iPad Pro 12,9" earlier this year with the White Magic Keyboard, I am already beginning to see major discolouration and yellowing of the MK. I do take care of it and have not spilled anything on it.

Is anyone else experiencing this yet? And if so, any tips on cleaning the MK if so?

I'm sorry to hear this. I received and returned one because I was afraid that I would be unable to keep it clean. Looked great with my silver iPP though.

My keyboard is nearly 8 years old and hasn't discolored a bit. Perhaps your environment is to blame (UV, smoking)?

I have the white magic keyboard for iPad 12.9, but I can't believe it will yellow out... time will tell. I hope you have not used some cleaning solution on it, have you? I will only be cleaning it with water dampened cloth.

Seems like both colors can’t keep clean in the long run. It’s a shame since I want to buy one of them.

Sorry on the very late reply to this thread! I shall post some pictures later of what I’m referring to. Thank you all for your replies so far though!

I’ve had the black one since May 2020 and to be honest, you can easily wipe the grease stains out or just completely avoid eating next to it, not even the top case is bad at all, To be honest I wanted to switch it to a white keyboard if a new iteration gets released but now I’m just thinking of keeping it black as is!!!

I don’t really care much about the bottom but even then that’s just normal wear and tear haha
