When it comes to iPad Pro keyboards, these 2 are probably most people's top picks. This isn't the same comparison as it has been in the past, however, as the Combo Touch got some much needed upgrades this year!

To be fair, Bearing in mind that they rank the iPad as a laptop replacement, it’s almost criminal that they don’t put the function keys on the Apple keyboard
I understand that it can suck, but to be honest it’s not something that I really see as a deal breaker. Don’t get me wrong, it would be nice if they were there, but I’ve learned to live without them.
Deal breaker for me is that after few years of magic keyboard , they couldn’t even try to make a thin case compatible with magic keyboard. I don’t want a 1000-2000$ ipad pro totally naked. Don’t ever mention some crap third party case like pitaka or switcheasy with cheap plastic quality
@@mikelo9006 I know what you’re saying! That’s why I just got a Smart Keyboard case off Amazon (only $20), cut it in half, and stuck it in the front of my iPad carrying case to I can magnetically snap it onto the back of my iPad when I’m gaming handheld (I have large hands so the 12.9” isn’t too unwieldy for me), or writing on desk. Otherwise, I got a Dbrand skin for it, so it won’t scratch. The Magic Keyboard Case also has sheet metal in it, so that is the primary source of protection for the iPad.
Excellent point imo
They want use to still use the touch screen aspect of the iPad.
My jaw drop and completely sold me when you pulled the keyboard off in the combo touch
YO same 😂
It makes me go "i will DEFINITELY buy that one instead of the magic keyboard" 😂
@@Shaturnite so true especially for an art student like me and that lower prize mhmmm
It copies the design from windows surface
@@Jungkith honestly i went with the magic keyboard bc the lap use with the logitech was a dealbreaker to me. And removing the ipad from the case is super satisfying and easy with the magnets. Usb c pass thru is also great. But you really cant beat that logi price
I’ve just made the switch from the Apple Magic Keyboard to the Logitech Combo Touch for my new iPad Pro M1 11” and I’m really happy now!
Very honest review. Wobbly Magic Keyboard, no side protection, high price, no function keys but better looking, better usage, one more port. I would still go with Combo for the detached keyboard and better protection. iPad Pros ain't cheap.
That's so true.
Opinion
One thought on the „go-anywhere“ aspect. I think that really depends on your type of workflow, because as someone who uses the Pencil a lot, having to completely remove the iPad from the case to write on it and leaving it without protection is a real no-go for me, especially on trains or public transport. That thing is way to expensive for me to risk that.
Exactly what I thought, the protection is more important. Also it wouldn't be that enjoyable to write on a train or public transport with all the shake
EXACTLY! Took the words right from my fingers!
THIS is the reason I upgraded from the Logitech combo touch to the Magic Keyboard.
@@soculesewait… but the Magic Keyboard is the one that requires you to remove the iPad and leaves it completely unprotected, whereas with the Logitech you can just remove the keyboard and still have the iPad inside the case and protected.
@@soculese¿?
How about a video on how to use the ipad optimally as a teacher and as a student. Recommended apps, widgets, accessories and tools. Thanks bro.
It’s going to change depending on what you use. Like my district uses Google classroom, someone else might use Zoom. I mean he can make okie but it’s only going to benefit the people who are forced to use that platform.
i’m pretty sure other you tubers will have a better idea/video on that than him. he’s not either so i don’t recommend him making that video
This combo touch is definitely better than the old one and it's nice that it's now available for 12.9 inch but I have been noticing that the Logitech cases are increasing in price each version and the old ones don't reduce in price.

Can you check brydge pro keyboard for ipad

@DailyTekk also thank you for another great thorough pleasing review
@@facemountain I was going to ask that as well.
And the pencil case ? Please
I had a logitech keyboard lasted me 7 years still works good today. Just bought a new one for my 12.9 inch iPad Pro $129 on Amazon. The magic keyboard is poorly designed when you touch the screen it bounces around like a rubber ball. Even in your video when it’s on your lap and you’re doing the typing, couldn’t you see how much that thing was bouncing around you’re gonna have to have some Dramamine using it.👈👀
THE most extensive, in depth review I’ve seen so far about the comparison between Magic Keyboard and Logitech. Super useful.
Thanks for the review. This really answered what I was looking for. Like if I want to draw, on the Logitech, there’s an assurance that it’s still protected with the detachable case. Not so with the magic keyboard. I have made up my mind!

I honestly love the look of the magic keyboard more. They both could be much cheaper though
I’ve used the Logitech keyboard and it’s ok but I bought the magic keyboard and honestly, I like it a lot better. More sturdy and a more satisfying typing experience.
Agreed... everything Apple should be cheaper. I bought the logictech and it's solid.
@@lolosmith8446 that’s honestly what I’m doing right now got both on my order will return which one I don’t like or may just keep both and when I need to use one more note taking use the MK or if I need to use the pencil for notes use the CT.
They look raggy after a year of use unless you clean it. So many oily looking magic keyboards
Update: I actually got the Magic Keyboard as a gift a year ago, I love it! It’s well made, doesn’t look dirty, and it looks very nice
I went for the magic keyboard instantly. I hated the lack of different screen angles the most. That just irritated me to no end, especially for a $350 purchase. So I starting looking at keyboard comparisons, including yours. I'm back to say that the combo touch was the one for me.
The screen angles you can have is superior. The function keys are great. The typing experience is on par with the magic keyboard. I like that it is still protected when not attached to the keyboard. Though the material is not AS premium as the magic keyboard, I don't have to worry about smudges at all. And should I need to attach devices, I have a couple of thunderbold docks I have around the house with power delivery, So I'm good.
The magic keyboard jiggles heavily because of the floating design, the combo touch doesn’t do that because it’s fully supported by the stand. Could be a deal breaker
Guess it depends how thunderous your typing style is…
@@a23oj28 interesting question 🤔
Mine doesn’t jiggle… but I am thinking about returning it because of the corner protection alone
You only have one viewing angle lol it's kinda frustrating
Not just that. But sometimes doing using magic keyboard to work on the bed and lap, it feels like the iPad Pro can flip over.
Pro functions that I can’t find reviewers talk about:
1) Spreadsheet - Copy pasting data between opened sheets, between Google Sheets and Excel. Running desktop class formulas.
2) GIS software - Maybe try ArcGIS online? Would be great if it could open a basic SHP file, and allow me to plot CSV coordinates, create grids, create hotspots.
What pro functions is this? Does it belong to the keyboard, or the iPad Pro?
I just feel like the magic keyboard should have been improved. There are some major design flaws with the viewing angle and lack of protection, even having to take the ipad off in order to use it flat. I think both are sort of just sub-par sadly.
Right, it would be very nice if the keyboard had the same versatility as logitech (detachable keyboard, function keys, and wide variety of viewing angles.) That would be the perfect keyboard for me.
Isn’t it annoying to have the iPad screen to shake when typing or touching the screen when using the magic keyboard? Combo touch seems much more stable
This product is phenomenal. It fits the 4th (2020) generation iPad Pro 12.9 which I have. It is a snug fit. I’m not sure why Logitech only included the 5th gen. But this works great if anyone is wondering. Great replacement for the magic keyboard if you’re on a budget. However the speakers don’t align . But overall . Perfect fit for the 4th Gen IPad Pro
This is what I was hoping to hear, thanks for this! Is there a particular way they don’t align? Maybe it could be compensated for in some manner…
@@johnmackay13 they are just slightly off center . I think it’s how they placed the 5th Gens speaker . Like one of the holes of the 4 speakers are too close to the bumper itself.. but its something I overlooked since the speakers are perfectly fine
You can access the control panel by hovering the mouse over the utility bar (battery, wifi) it snaps to is and you can use 2 fingers to adjust the volume and brightness bars. Never have to touch the screen.
I am using the logi combo touch right now and I have to say that the existence of almost frequent bugs on the trackpad is a huge deal breaker to me. And I’m returning it to buy a white Magic Keyboard. It happens multiple times a day, the cursor would suddenly move from one random place to another, or can’t tell if I’m pressing down or not (not sure if it’s because i enabled ‘’ tap to click’’). Although I really love the keyboard, it is REALLY nice. No bug at all with the keyboard, very responsive, never miss a key and no lag. But the trackpad, well unfortunately I can’t bear it. If it’s not for the trackpad I would love to keep it
i experience the same thing with the curser and im using magic keyboard though.. maybe it's the ipad
7:57 was the breaking point for me. i’d much much rather have a keyboard that’s durable for being on the go - i’d definitely go crazy with the logitech although i was pretty much sold up until this point of the video. thank you for such a detailed & informative video - really really helpful !!
Actually I found that you can nudge that stand portion of the Logitech between your knees and it feels fine, comfortable, and you can type while it's on your lap.
I have the Logitech Combo Touch Case and it's an incredibly efficient purchase. I highly recommend it! ☺
Thanks for the thorough overview. I was worried I might regret getting the cheaper keyboard, but now I know I made the right choice for me.
Also, I see the tablet wobbles constantly as you type with the Magic Keyboard. That would drive me crazy!
Combo touch is great!
White keyboard or black keyboard which one is the better looking in terms of long term use
AND to one of Chris’s last points, I can confirm that with the Paperlike installed, the older Magic Keyboard works without any issues (closing). It’s perfect.
I have paperlike with the magic keyboard plus the Pitaka Case so that when I take it out, the camera bump doesn't scratch.
Can confirm that even with both of these on, still no issues
Just the video I needed! Have the combo coming in the mail today, I use it for school and will be doing a lot of back and forth so I need protection!
How are you finding it?
@@dirty_diver love it! I have 0 issues other than the fact the fact it needs the stand out while typing, the magic keyboard is nice that it holds itself up but I’ll take the combo over the magic any day. The fact the keyboard comes off and it still functions as a regular case makes it great for casual use like in bed or on the couch watching videos or doing work that doesn’t require a lot of typing! I could go on about how great it is lol
@@LucaJames this might be a dumb question but, when you close it, is the keyboard lying directly against the screen? and if so, is that ever an issue with like smudging or dust?
@@comradeluffy haha I get what u mean! The keyboard does sit flush but the keys and indented so there’s no key marks on the actual screen when shut! Dust and stuff isn’t bad I tend to clean my screen a lot tho like every other day
My new iPad Pro came today, also got the new magic keyboard and Apple Pencil, the Xdr display is incredible
Bro, from where do you play HDR content on the ipad pro to get the full advantage of XDR? Also while playing any HDR content, do you turn off true tone? Or change any settings?
For someone who is mainly wanting this for illustration purposes, the Logitech is looking pretty sweet. I like how it's more protective and overall more versatile. I was tossing up between the magic keyboard and the standard one, but this might be a winner.
Hello! I'm curious- did you end up buying either one? And if so, which was your favorite?
You make it seem like you have to detach the ipad from the keyboard to draw/take notes. Just push the kickstand out further.
The paperlike film on the 2021 12.9” iPad Pro would hinder from experiencing the Liquid Retina XDR display in full.
Really?
So does a glass screen protector. It’s impossible to make something actually 100% transparent so they block some color and brightness.
Just got this yesterday for my new 12.9” M1 Pro and lappability is actually fine for me. Maybe just depends on lap size.
Getting my Combo Touch with my iPad Pro today, excited to try it out
How is it?
@@gdhyphen797 using it right now and I’m really liking it. The typing experience is good and the trackpad works incredibly well. I’m coming from an 2018 11” iPad Pro so I’m just trying to get use to the larger 12.9” size. I wish the case did something similar to Zugu case with the Apple Pencil so when it’s not attached the iPad is still protected in that area, plus having a place to store the pencil so it doesn’t get lost. Other than that it’s a really solid option and for $120 less than the Magic Keyboard and it’s an actual case where the keyboard detaches, I think it’s a pretty solid buy.
So when trying to decide between the combo touch and the Magic Keyboard, this was one of the videos I watched when trying to decide. I bought both keyboards, just because of how hard it was to make a decision.
I work in field sales and my iPad Pro 12.9 M2 is my work computer. Deciding on using an iPad Pro as my work computer was another decision process that resulted in trying and taking back both Chromebooks and PC’s. What I was really wanting was an asset that provides an awesome user experience but is also a productivity warrior. The iPad Pro 12.9 in end won the debate, as well as the Apple Magic Keyboard.
The Apple Magic Keyboard won with me because of the typing experience and trackpad. The TrackPad is not the biggest but it is very accurate and just works every time. I had found that when I was using the Combo touch, the TrackPad would out of the blue make random key presses and not follow my gestures. The typing was great, but the overall case for me added to much bulk and added to much weight to the device that when you work in field sales weight matters.
Using the AMK, I do wish there was function row, because on the 12.9 version of the AMK there is enough room for a function row. Great video as always and thanks for your insight.
An Edit to this comment:
I agree that the Combo Touch is not an all terrain keyboard case option for the iPad. When trying to use the Combo Touch in the lap, it just was not convenient due to the kickstand and length of the keyboard. However I did find that when using the Combo Touch while my legs were stretched out across an ottoman or propped up on the coffee table the Combo Touch was a delight to use with the iPad 12.9. I also did not realize how much I rely on the function row during my work flows. The convenience of the home button and media keys work great when going back and forth between apps. The Trackpad is not as precise as the one on the Magic Keybaord but the Combo Touch is bigger. I do use the Magic Mouse more when working for longer periods of time on the iPad because of the gesture compatibility. Between using the Combo Touch and Magic Keyboard it is more comfortable using the Combo Touch as the keyboard is slightly spaced out better. Lastly, I like the fact that when you are not needing the keyboard you can detach the iPad from the Keyboard and the iPad is still protected; which when paired with the Paper-like screen protector offers the best protection for using the iPad while on the go.
Hi! im planning to buy this combo touch for my ipad air for $165 here in my country are yours still working? and do you recommend it over apple magic keyboard which is also on discount here and i can buy it for $222. Looking forward to your response it will be a huge help for me to decide, thank you so much!🙏
My solution to the naked iPad problem was to buy a smart folio for when I detach it from the keyboard. The smart folio is ridiculously over priced. I’ve also found that when I transfer the iPad back to the Magic Keyboard trackpad stops working and simply restarting the iPad doesn’t fix the problem. I found the procedure that does work is to put it back in the Smart folio and shut it down and then transfer it to the Magic Keyboard before turning on Alain. Kind of weird.
I’ve been trying to find a video like this! Thank you 😄
One point I would love to hear your opinion about is that it seems that Logitech does a better job at steady your screen while typing.
You can see at 10:46 that the iPad is shaking while you are typing while it does not shake with the Logitech combo.
@DailyTekk
Good observation. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out That would get really annoying for me over time. I have the Logitech combo for my iPad and I love it. Was considering the Magic keyboard but I will pass.
i've had the combo touch for 8 months now, the sides with the holes are now loosened and disfigured.
the case also traps heat big time, don't believe me? Compare using the ipad playing games with the case vs without the case. i have heard lithium ion battery don't like extreme temperatures, there goes your battery life span. The keyboard randomly does not work, you know what i mean if you have this product, imagine doing a powerpoint presentation in front of class and the case malfunctioned, how's that for a premium case.
everytime i play, i remove the ipad from the case, i'll rather buy the magic keyboard, believe me, this is a case you'll regret
The case is heavy, when you play with it while carrying it. it will put pressure on your wrist. notice it? do it for a year. prepare for De Quervain Tenosynovitis. you have been warned
Best comment bro, i faced the same issues
I am not sure what swipe experience you are having with the Logitech. I find swiping with the Logitech as smooth as the Apple trackpad. As for typing on my lap, I have no issues either. It is like the Microsoft Surface Pro. Honestly, I just cannot justify the price of the Apple keyboard.
When the keyboard is detached, is it still workable with the iPad Pro?
I'd prefer a workflow where I can keep it off the side, access my keyboard shortcuts, and sketch on the iPad Pro.
If it does, then I'm solid!
Does this work with ipad pro 12.9 4th gen/2020? Please share :)
The true deal killer is the price
Yep. I pay 160€ more for a better looking keyboard that has les protection and lacks multifunction keys...
The combo touch definetly wins
True. That’s exactly the reason I am think and rethink and rethink.... to buy. But that price though!!!!
@@LoveTech i would say buy both and test them a week or so and when you decided whih one you like more simply resend the one you dont like :)
Just coming back to confirm that the Logitech one is definitely worth it. Got it in today. ✌🏾
I lean to the Combo Touch. They did a great job with the detachable keyboard. I’ve always used an Apple Smart Cover with a plastic shell case so I could use the device without the cover when I wanted. I get that feeling with the Logitech.
Also, test your thunderbolt drives. They seem to have speed limitations on the iPad.
I've watched a couple reviews for IPad Pro keyboard cases between Magic, Brydge and Logictech already. For my uses, such editing and digital drawing, and for my needs, such as ergonomics and versatility, the Logictech is a winner for me here.
Please do a video on the "Sidecar" feature working alongside the M1 Macbook Pro! Interested to see if the M1 chips working alongside each other have many/any benefits...Cheers from the UK! ✌️🇬🇧
Does the old iPad Pro 4th gen 12.9 fit into the combo touch and work?
The white MK case is beautiful but I find myself constantly be extra careful and looking at it front to back frequently making sure it’s not getting scuffed up and dirty, I’m really considering returning it for that Logitech combo case
Does the new Logitech combo touch works on older iPad pros 12.9?
I assume yes just with the fit a bit different, I’ve asked the same to apple and best buy support and neither have given a clear answer
I would be careful with the new combo touch and the old iPads if you care about audio quality. I believe the speaker placement on the new iPad (my 2021 11 in model has less speaker holes and they’re closer to the charging port) is slightly different from the old one so the new combo touch might cover the speakers of the old iPads.
Anyone got a clear answer to that?
It works fine
I have the iPad Air 4 with the Logitech Folio Touch. Price was one consideration. Another was the protection it offers. I take my iPad with me to many places I go. I don‘t always have control of where the iPad is placed in vehicles.
I use the iPad Air in place of a traditional computer. I use the keyboard a lot. I find the typing experience to be miles ahead of Bluetooth keyboards I have used in the past. I find the gestures to work well. I generally hate trackpads on computers, but I enjoy this trackpad.
I don‘t mind the lack of the charging port. I use headphones most of the time, and I also use an iPad Air 3, so I am used to dongles. I use both iPads at the same time when I am doing certain tasks, such as video conferencing. I can use one for the video and have the other dedicated to chatting or using Office apps for my workflow during the calls.
I also like the many viewing angles the keyboard supports. I do wish the Air 4 keyboard was detachable like that iPad Pro version.
I just bought an iPad Pro and I was dead set on buying the Magic Keyboard. However, the store that I went to had the Combo Touch on stock, so for some reason, I decided to buy it last minute instead. I do not regret it at all. I thought that it would be less immersive because the tablet was not floating, but I don’t feel it. I also have more confidence when using and transporting the iPad because of the case. It also does not feel bulky or heavier than the magic keyboard. What I appreciate the most though is that the keyboard is detachable and that there’s a kickstand so I can use it in many orientations without the keyboard. I don’t regret getting this great product while saving money!
Just got the white one and I love this premium look🔥🔥🔥
Nice!
@@Dailytekk I also put a white matted skin on it and it feels great to the touch and protected🙌
@@Dailytekk I know it’s only been a few days but how do you see the white holding up to dirt and fading compared to the gray/black?
Excellent review. (As are all of your videos!) I’ve been on the fence with the Magic Keyboard. I have the Smart Folio now and finding I do a lot of very early morning typing - in the dark…. The lit Magic keyboard solves some of my keyboard stroke misses. Showing how easily it is to take off the iPad from the Magic keyboard to use the Pencil is a game changer. Your example in your video sold me! Also, the 2nd port is a killer move for peripheral devices. Thanks!!!
Great review. I tried both for several days too. Magic Keyboard won because of lap stability and lighter weight. Kick stand on Logitech just felt wonky to me and using it on your lap is not doable in IMO with the 12.9”.. LCT is really heavy. Function keys not a deal breaker since I mostly use volume control and occasional screen brightness; easier to adjust from on-screen control panel for me. Protection is enough with MKB since I mostly use at home at table or desk or In my lap.. I like screen closer since I use pad gestures at lot. There is a subtle but better typing and trackpad experience on MKB. There was a slight muffling of sound too with LCT with more bass, but some might like it. I liked the texture of the LCT.and hand rest slightly better on LGT too but doesn’t seem to bother me since MKB is so thin. I also like the white MKB because I can see it better in all light. Taking the keyboard off and on was just awkward and when carrying LCT keyboard open did come off on me. MKB easier to open. Smaller footprint on MKB is convenient too. As an easel I just like I-Pad flat better and the LGT just did not seem stable enough. Some have said flip the MKB to use as easel but this is not stable either. The charging USB-c on left side fits where my charger is and less stress on cable and port when flat rather than hanging.
In the end LCT is better protection if you need it, but that and the function keys are the only reason to buy, except the price difference. Apple once again has a solid here folks.
Does the 12.9 combo keyboard fit an older iPad Pro like 2020 or 2018?
I ended up ordering for my 2018 12.9 iPad Pro. It fits almost perfect. The end hole of each of the speakers is covered(all others uncovered). The mic holes are slightly off center but still within the radius of the cover holes. Everything else worked great.
Hey, what is the cool thing in the background that spins and is metallic looking silver, thanks!

Can you try the Combo touch with the iPad 12.9 2020 please? I was waiting for it and logitech seems to forget me !
It seems like it doesn’t work on it! I checked on the website and they specifically said that its only for the ipad 5th generation. I really hope it actually works on the 2020 ipad since i was thinking of getting one
Yes it will probably work, but its gonna be a bit lose, since the newer model is 3 mml thicker
I would suggest you go look at the new magic keyboard on the 4th gen ipad, that will give you a sense on how it would fit
Anyone already tried this?
It works. It’s just that the speaker cutout isn’t aligned but i don’t hear a difference. It’s like one hole off on each speaker.
I am returning my Logitech Combo Touch. First time ever... I feel bad about it because usually I'm a massive fan of Logitech products, but this one is a fail.
It's hard, awkward to open it, takes up a lot of space, but the worst of all is the hard edges on the keyboard that scratch your wrist when your rest them. Yowser...
I have the new combo touch and I love it. I have the 11” so I have no problem writing from my lap, couch or a bed. And the function keys are a killer feature, I use it for volume and display brightness all the time. You can also flip the keyboard backwards and rest the kick stand against it when you are in a bed and just watching videos.
Can you test to see if the 12.9 4th gen will work with the new combo touch?
Yes it will probably work, but its gonna be a bit lose, since the newer model is 3 mml thicker
I would suggest you go look at the new magic keyboard on the 4th gen ipad, that will give you a sense on how it would fit
Been wondering the same
It works really well. The speaker cutouts aren’t perfectly aligned, but I can’t tell the difference.
Here is the real question…how does the Logitech hold up after a couple of months. Many users have said that the silicon around the silicon tends to warp. Any feedback?
I get mine on Sunday… Ready
Really? Mine is saying the end of June. I hope it doesn't really take that long.
Mine is saying mid June , really can’t wait to get it
I just bought an 11 inch iPad Pro and the combo touch. I felt like if I wanted to use the pencil with the magic keyboard, I would have to take it off every time and the iPad was unprotected. The combo touch has worked great. A good workaround for the charging/using accessories issue is getting a usbc hub that has a pass through charging port. Although it hangs on the side, functionally, it works great
Does the combo touch secure the Apple Pencil well enough that it won’t dislodge in a back pack? It seems neither Apple or Logitech secures the pencil any more than the iPad itself.
@@stevenl7878 neither case really protect the pen from falling off. The magnet is pretty good but no, it is unprotected.
Thanks for the quick reply
@@BryanSmith705
I’m going for the Logitech! Thx for the good review
I’d love to know what 2020 iPad Pro fits like in that new Logitech combo touch case. I know the size is slightly off but I’d love to know if it would still work.
Thanks for the video. I've been on the fence. I'm still not sure what I want to get. I might use the MK and buy a Zugu for everything else.
My main issue with the magic keyboard, and most reviewers dont talk about it, is the apple pencil. How it just sits there without any extra security. Drive me nuts that it would just fall off
Yeah that's true, I don't know but how reviews didn't mention it?!
I’ve had mine for ages and haven’t had the Apple Pencil fall off a singe time. And I’m not cautious.
I’ve had mine for ages and I can confirm the pencil is constantly falling off lol
Had mine since day 1, keep falling off seriously.
Another perk is it amplifies speaker volume. Its speaker holes focus the sound that is concentrated in the plastic sills that creates a nice stereophonic speaker effect that echoes & amplifies music and media really well. Another side perk is the keyboard cover I’ve for Magic Keyboard works for combo touch too; it just doesn’t cover the function row but 90% transferability ain’t bad at all.
Where is your Apple Pencil skin from? Is it still magnetic for charging?
It’s too bad that the logitech doesn’t have a slightly more aggressive pencil holder like the style on the Zugu Muse.
Have you tested this with the 4th gen IPad Pro 12.9? I’m wondering if it will fit
Same thing here
I would like to know that too
I have bought this already with my iPad Pro 12.9 4th generation. And it fits perfectly well. The only thing is that the speakers are a bit misaligned but it’s not that obvious
@@calebclarksanchez1056 even though the 5th gen iPad is supposed to be thicker? There is no wiggle room with the 4th gen?
@@cedrics1220 nope . No wiggle room on mine . It’s just the speakers are a bit mis aligned
Can you still typing on the keyboard without connected to the iPad case?
Hi! Im planning to buy this Logitech keyboard for my Ipad pro . I also watched your review about the DOQO. What do you recommend yo buy? :)
@dailytekk would the Combo touch work with 12.9” 2018 3rd generation iPad Pro?
The magic keyboard is now 199 on sale at Best Buy. What should I buy?
This video sold me on the Logitech. I actually didn’t realize at all that the Magic Keyboard would be so limiting in so many ways.
I just got the Combo Touch for my 12.9 inch over the weekend and I absolutely love it. Very “MacBookesk”. Mainly like it due to the function keys. I use my ipad while working from home to watch YUouTube videos and love having the function keys to play/stop and such.
Will the older iPad models work with the new Logitech combo touch 12.9 case ?
Man this is why I clicked on this video
Same here hopefully this clarified
I am leaning more towards the Apple keyboard because the keys or white instead of black. I’m older and it’s getting more difficult to see the darker keys so this is a big selling point for me. Also I do most of my work from my recliner or a seated position rather than at a desk. I like the ability of moving my tablet closer to my eyes are farther away without the restriction of a holder/keyboard
Thanks man! This video helped. The Combo Touch is definitely the top pick for me 👍
1) How about comparing the Magic keyboards and LogiTech with a keyboard from Brydge for the 12.9 iPad Pro? 2) Which of any of the keyboards with a track pad don’t respond to an accidental touch when typing?
Got the Combo this past week. It’s awesome. So much better the magic keyboard (returned it) and protects the iPad so much more.
I ordered the iPad pro M1 12.9 2021 two weeks ago and I'm still waiting. ALL THAT TIME WAITING I researched the facts comparing the iPad Pro with (the iPad Air M1 and then) the MacBook Pro M1. I found out because the iPad Pro 256G needed the additional purchases of a pencil (+200) and a magic keyboard (+350) it ended up costing MORE than the MBP 512G AT LESSER cost and better SPEED, at almost the ssme weight total! ... SO I cancelled the order for the iPad pro! If they delivered faster, I would have not thought of going into so much detail! ALSO, THE BATTERY in the MBP lasts so much longer, So screw the iPad Pro for making me wait! I'LL NOW THINK of the MBP13" M1... OR wait till the M2. I'm not anxious anymore!
A question I have is whether Touch ID on the new magic keyboard will work with the new iPad Pro! Hope it gets answered 😅
Yes it will work as long as you bought the bridge from Brooklyn
0:46 omg that pen 🖋 case, cover looks 👀 soo cute! Put the purchasing link 🔗 of it, if possible 👍🏻
Will that logitech keyboard work with the 2020 12.9 ipad pro?
Sorry but what pen are you using with your iPad? Is that an Apple Pencil case?
Thank you for making this video. Now I know which keyboard should I have for my iPad 👍🏻
One thing I didn’t realize, until I saw you typing using both keyboards, is that the magic keyboard shakes the iPad as you typed. I was contemplating on buying the magic keyboard to see if I liked it, but seeing the iPad shake with the magic keyboard on a flat surface is a deal breaker for me.
Great informative review 👍 ✨
*What mic arm are you using for the rode procaster?*
Chris, your videos are captivating, intriguing & addicting.
This one was no exception.
So very well done. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can I use the new Logitech keyboard for my 2020 iPad Pro?
I bought the magic keyboard for my 2018 12.9" Pro since logitech did not offer this one for the 12.9" pro before this release apparently. I'm still extremely happy with my magic keyboard, but the logitech does also appear to be a compelling option at its price point.
I know I am late here. I use the Magic Keyboard and my one issue with it is that the number row is under the iPad at certain angles and gets difficult to use. Otherwise its gooood. We disclaimer, haven’t used any other keyboard on the iPad Pro
I am getting Logitech and I also like how u can take off the magic keyboard and also the price is very good
You can literally get a dock for the iPad Pro, which most power users need anyway. And they usually come with pass through charge so that’s no longer a disadvantage for the Logitech.
I got a quick question, I have the 2020 12.9 iPad Pro, so will that work with the Logitech combo touch?
I would like to know that too
Yes it will
I’m careful with my iPad when I’m outside but I get too comfortable and tend to throw my iPad around my room or slam it on my desk when I’m at home. The ruggedness of the Logitech is a benefit for me, I like that the case and kick stand stays on with the keyboard off. That top row Function keys is just a nice quality of life aspect and convenience. Hoping Logitech makes a slightly thicker version of the Combo Touch for the iPad Air 4th gen.
Hey! Do you think that iPad can substitute a MacBook? For a student?
Would the Logitech be compatible with the 12.9 iPad Pro (6th generation)? I’m afraid of getting something that won’t work!
Great review on Logitech Combo touch. Just bought mine for iPad Pro 12.9 4th Gen. 👌
