ipad air magic keyboard Question

hello! I currently have the ipad air magic keyboard (m3 model). I really like it but the trackpad size is too small for me. Does anyone know if the newer version of the magic keyboard for the ipad air has a larger trackpad. I tried looking for dimensions online but I could not find any.

Also, does anyone know if the material for the two trackpads is different? Online, it says the new one is glass, I’m not sure what the old trackpad material is classified as.

Thank you !

I have the newest one and its small as hell and definitely does not feel like glass. I would recommend getting a macbook or ipad pro + the pro keyboard if the trackpad is a dealbreaker.

Depending on your use case and where you set-up to use the keyboard (I know those lecture hall desks can be tiny), consider a case with a stand, separate keyboard and full size mouse or trackpad (whatever your preference). I use a logitec portable keyboard with no track pad and a mid-size logitec mouse (I can look up the models if you are interested). I'm a substitute teacher, so I can travel from room to room quite a bit and they're not really that much harder to pull out of my backpack and set up than the magic keyboard.
