Much like Microsoft's Surface tablet keyboards, the bottom-connecting design won't really work in a lap. I found the responsiveness of Logitech's keyboard to be really good, but the design also means you'll need to sit at a desk. The extra row of function keys for volume, screen brightness, play/pause and other helpful shortcuts is really useful, much like it is on the Brydge keyboard.
It works just as well: The detachable keyboard and trackpad are generous enough, although the trackpad is a lot smaller than the giant Brydge one.

Logitech's latest iPad Pro keyboard case is a Pro-sized version of the company's Combo Touch case available on smaller iPads. Keyboard needs to be connected to a case to use (runs off Smart Connector power). Needs a stable flat surface to use (isn't good for laps). Case offers solid protection.Ĭons: Needs a lot of table space for the rear stand and keyboard base. This iPad keyboard is more affordable than Apple or Brydge's top-end new cases. Comes with an extra row of function-based keys that the Magic Keyboard lacks. Pros: iPad case can be removed from the keyboard and used on its own with a kickstand. Sometimes I found the connection dropped out (as happens with Bluetooth), and sometimes, rarely, the trackpad gestures seemed a little skittish.

The Bluetooth connectivity is easier and more instantaneous than before, but it's not perfect. Still, this is easily the most laptop-friendly iPad Pro keyboard case around, and really makes the whole thing feel shockingly like a MacBook Air. Still, it costs $100 less than the Magic Keyboard.Ī snap-on magnetic back cover gives a little more protection than older Brydge keyboards, and it's also a lot easier to attach/remove the iPad, but that also means that the iPad can't bend back at quite as wide an angle as before. But this iPad keyboard is also more expensive than existing Brydge accessories. There's also a tremendous multitouch trackpad that's bigger than the one on the MacBook Air, which works very smoothly with multitouch gestures on iPadOS. The redesigned bluetooth keyboard has more travel in its keys than Logitech's or Apple's keyboards (more like the 2015 MacBook Pro used to have way back). Bends back for wide viewing angles.īrydge's latest premium keyboard case for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, coming in mid-June, makes a big leap over previous Brydge keyboards. Improved design has a magnetic back to easily attach to the iPad Pro. It's made of a soft material that can get scuffed up, and occasionally can get torn or dented depending on how you use it.
The side USB-C passthrough is helpful because it adds an extra charge port while using the side Thunderbolt port for other dongles. The lack of volume/play/pause/screen brightness adjustments keys is a letdown. There aren't any dedicated function keys like the MacBook Air (and other iPad cases) have. The case doesn't offer much protection, exposing the tablet sides and detaching easily on falls. The case's rigid design also makes it nearly useless as a tablet case for sketching with a Pencil. The adjustable-angle magnetic top cover doesn't bend back as much as a normal laptop. I've gotten really used to the design of this Magic Keyboard, and it's well-sized to fit on smaller desks or on a lap in a pinch. It hasn't changed much since last year, but new 12.9-inch cases are sized up a tiny bit to fit the new Pro's slightly thicker dimensions.
The keys, especially on the 12.9-inch, are well-spaced and feel just like typing on a MacBook. Lacks dedicated function keys.Īpple's keyboard, originally released last year, offers a comfortable typing experience.
