Keeping iPad setups both tidy and flexible feels like an impossible balance. Creative professionals and multitaskers need their devices charged while juggling external drives, displays, and other peripherals. Traditional charging means cable clutter and occupied USB-C ports, forcing compromises nobody wants to make.
The KUXIU M30 Magnetic Smart Connector Charger solves this elegantly by bringing MagSafe-like convenience to iPad Pro and Air users. This isn’t just another charging cable disguised as innovation but a genuinely thoughtful accessory that changes how you interact with your device.

The M30 is a slim aluminum alloy puck that magnetically snaps onto your iPad’s Smart Connector pins. The low-profile design matches Apple’s hardware language perfectly, with rounded edges and a color-matched finish that looks intentional rather than aftermarket.
The magnetic connection provides that satisfying snap you get with MagSafe accessories. Strong enough to stay secure during normal use but easy to remove when needed. The charger is compact enough to leave attached during transport without adding bulk or interfering with most cases.
Here’s where things get clever: the M30 draws power directly from the Smart Connector, completely freeing up your USB-C port for other accessories. Connect external drives, hubs, or displays while keeping your iPad charged simultaneously. No more choosing between power and productivity.
The technical specs are straightforward but effective. USB-C input supports up to 20W, with 18W output through the Smart Connector. An integrated LED shows charging status at a glance. The charging rate is slower than direct USB-C but perfectly adequate for desk use or overnight charging, though it does support 35W output for the M4 iPads.
Compatibility covers iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch models from 2018 onwards, plus iPad Air 4 and 5. The magnetic attachment works with most cases, though particularly thick or rugged options might interfere with the connection.
The real magic happens in daily use. Place your iPad on a stand and watch the charger snap into place effortlessly. No fumbling with cables or wearing out ports. The cable-free experience makes charging feel modern and intuitive rather than tedious. This is particularly valuable for creative workflows where the iPad stays docked for drawing, note-taking, or serving as a secondary display. The M30 keeps everything powered while maintaining the clean, uncluttered aesthetic that makes Apple hardware so appealing
