Picked up a 128GB Wifi Model. The store did not have nor did they received any pencils or keyboards.
How weird is that?

The other option would have been to hold off on the release of the Pro so they could go out with the pencil and keyboard.
Got mine today. The multi-tasking is excellent...no doubt. On this big screen, it's magical. Like others...bummed that the pen and/or keyboard are lagging behind the Pro release. I tried both out in the store while waiting for my pick up as well. They are both excellent accessories. Loved the feel of the keyboard keys and the pen experience was excellent. Made me even more sad to know that I have to wait to get my hands on these accessories.

Thanks for the post - I'm going LTE via t-mobile jump from an Air 2. I guess I'm in the minority though - the onscreen keyboard is excellent - I certainly won't need the keyboard or the pen (your finger still is the best accessory) unless you're an artist, graphics designer, etc.
The onscreen keyboard is a beast....(Credit to Appleinsider for the picture & paragraph)

The full array of virtual keys, essentially matching what users would find on a standard physical keyboard, can be accessed in both portrait and landscape modes when typing on the iPad Pro.
The include the ability to tap (or temporarily hold) shift while pressing a number key to input the symbol located above it. Keys for plus, minus, equals, dash, backslash, brackets, colon, semicolon, apostrophe and more can be found on the expanded virtual keyboard.
Apple also prevents accidental pressing of the new caps lock button by requiring that users hold their finger down on it for a short period. Simply tapping the caps lock button will not enable it.
Based on the posts here, it sounds like many of you plan to get the pencil. Mind if I ask why? I see its usefulness for drawing, designing, etc., but I don't do those things and so I can't imagine how I'd use it.
