The keyboard was going on sale 33% off all the time about a year after release, in 2020 I think. But I don’t know if it goes on sale these days, with electronics supply so borked.

I just looked at the model number of the keyboard I bought. Based on two things 1) Answered questions on Amazon; and 2) the model number (thanks Ron) my keyboard is the latest model.Apple Magic Keyboard 5th, 4th, 3rd Generation: Model: MJQK3LL/A. SKU: 6340385 ($299 New BestBuy)
Apple Magic Keyboard 3rd and 4th generation: Model: MXQU2LL/A SKU: 6340357 ($169.99 Open Box BestBuy)
Yes, but you have to be careful as I was helping my brother shop for a keyboard a few months ago.
There was a huge saving on the original model. I think it sold as low as $199-$250 on both Amazon and BestBuy which is incredible. However, if you looked closely at the model number it was the first keyboard model. Now that does fit current models but with a slight overhang. Apple does say in their product description for the older keyboard that it does fit the new M1 Pros.
It looks like the one Johnny just bought is the newer keyboard released last year.
Other than the fit, is there a difference between the two, any improvements made to the new one?
I would find the screen protector really valuable if it reduced fingerprints. Regarding your nephew, I’m going to out on limb here and guess he doesn’t have pay to fix or replace his iPads. If he did, he’d handle them more carefully.Oh, screen protector
Well, if you are like my 8-year-old nephew that has broken the screens on at least 4 of his iPads (yes, really that many), then a screen protector is a MUST.
However, if you are the kind of person that actually takes care of your electronics, and is careful when handling and using them, then I would say no.
If you are buying the Magic Keyboard you have protection right there. If it drops with the keyboard closed, no issue. If it drops when opened, chances are very good it will drop on the keyboard's side, thus protecting the screen.
I mean, the screen protectors are extremely inexpensive. I just don't like the application, the bubbles, or the possible yellowing of the plastic.

No.Has anyone felt the need to put a screen protector on their iPad?
So the parts of my ipad order will shipped in order of least usefulness first. The pencil arrives today. The keyboard arrives on the 10th or 11th and the ipad arrives the 17th or 18th.
All you M1 owners, what is the most FUN thing you do on your ipad? Just pure fun.
My Pen arrived today and I’ve noticed one downgrade. My first gen pen came with extra tips, this one didn’t.
The gen one Apple Pencil also includes an adaptor to allow you to plug the pencil into the USB charger. I still use that to charge my first gen Apple Pencil.
