A new report from DigiTimes claims that Apple will bring its new scissor switch keyboard design to the 13-inch MacBook Pro and its iPad keyboards later this year.

Apple's new keyboard design debuted in the 16-inch MacBook Pro. The 'Magic Keyboard' offers a refined scissor mechanism that delivers 1mm of key travel and a stable key feel, as well as an Apple-designed rubber dome that stores more potential energy for a responsive key press.

It's widely expected that the next generation 13-inch MacBook Pro will feature the new keyboard; however, DigiTimes predicts that the mechanism could make its way to new Smart Keyboards for iPad as well.

Apple new iPad lineup reportedly to feature scissor switch keyboards: Apple is likely to extend the adoption of glowing scissor switch keyboards to its new iPad lineup, with prospects of continuing such design for the comprehensive lineups of its notebook and tablet products in the future, according to industry sources.

There are rumors that Apple could release a new iPad Pro by as early as March. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for updates.
