KUXIU is proud to introduce the world’s first magnetic charging stand for iPad.
The KUXIU X36 Pro MAX delivers 18W rapid charging via the Smart Connector on the back of your iPad.
I tested the stand compatible with the 2024 11-inch iPad Pro (M4).

Its metal arms are stiff enough to stay put where positioned.
Plus, its magnetic attachment makes it a piece of cake to grab my iPad and go when needed.
I had the previous Kuxiu magnetic iPad stand and it performed similarly in all these ways.

Replacing the old stand with this new one wasnt all bad news though.
Now, I dont need to think about powering the tablet when its in the X36 Pro stand.

It can rotate from portrait to landscape and back quickly.
I love how it works.
But nothing is so perfect.

You’ll probably need to look in the bottom right corner and activate the keyboard manually.
Not a dealbreaker, but it could be annoying, depending on how you’re using your machine.

The arm segments can be difficult to rotate and bend into the exact position you want them.
In some ways, it can feel like youre on the verge of breaking the stand.
I wouldnt worry about that.

But be prepared to put some muscle into getting the stand situated just right.
The flip side is that once the position is set, its not going to move on its own.
On the cable management front, there is none.
At least theres no integrated solution.
They work, but the plastic clips dont look amazing and arent my favorite.
Luckily in my case, I dont see them much.
Should You Buy the Kuxiu X36 Pro Max iPad Stand?
I love that it keeps the iPad charged and visible without taking up valuable desk space.
This stand, retailing for $140, isnt cheap.
It’s downright expensive compared to some options.
