It's the three circles on the edge of the iPad Pro, that connect to the smart keyboard. It's a built in part of the iPad Pro models.

It is not available on the 9.7" 6th Generation iPad if that affects your decision any.

Thank you so much. I have an iPad mini, the 2nd. generation, I believe, and I figured it was about time for me to upgrade to a iPad Pro. Thanks for the assistance
