When the city blackout but you have to continue doing your work.
was thinking the same thing
I thought it was my brightness, It's a pain in the ass having to squint to see the dim scenes and then suddenly switching to brighter B roll footage :/
😂
So tru
Guaranteed he shot this without knowing he was underexposed. Probably looked great on his monitor. Can't reshoot just for that. :) Great info! But, I would have assumed he would pull it up in post.
One thing I've noticed is the Logi is heavy. :) Thanks again for a great informational video!
Thanks for the advice, I love that you talk about the pros and cons of every item rather than just saying the expensive one it's the best
Logitech Folio Touch keyboard price is so affordable compares to magic keyboard, however I need to get an iPad Pro first. 😀😀😀😀 Thanks for this comparison video.
Yeah definitely need the ipad for it to work 🤣
There’s one for the iPad Air and iPad 8 as well
@@TheEverydayDad Do we have any knowledge if logitech would make a 12.9 version?
My iPad and Logitech keyboard are 11 years old and when I first got it it made quite a scene. O what’s that? Is that a mini computer? No - takes apart.
@@kyoukan91 I wish they would hurry up. Really need it for my iPad Pro
Hi Gary, I loved your video, but I thought that the background lighting was a little too dim this time.
Just a thought on what was otherwise a great video as always!
Great review - thanks! I'm not much of a trackpad user, so my choice of keyboard cover is the Logitech Slim Folio Pro with Logitech Pebble mouse. My first iPad Logitech keyboard is 8 years old and still works fine with my old iPad.
Great video. Love the honest comparison. Can't wait to get my Magic Keyboard for my iPad Pro 12.9"!
Yes, arrow keys are very important unless you want to waste your time moving you hand to the touch screen or using a mouse. While you type, arrow keys are keys to save you time.
I am sure this guy puts a lot of effort into his videos, but they look so effortless, like talking to some guy who came to your house, coz your wife knows his wife and you end up being friends haha. Good effort man.
Hahahaha I love this
He puts so much effort to make them seem effortless
“When I tap it it just wobbles”
Meanwhile Gary smacking the hell out of the screen 😂
Thanks for this video, you reaffirmed that I was happy to spend more for the magic. Really loving the experience thus far ♥️
Great video as always. I use the arrow keys (and shift) to highlight text. For smaller sections of text, I often find it faster and more precise than doing it with the trackpad. Question: The 12.9 Ipad + magic keyboard is a bit odd on the lap, as the IPAD weight keeps pulling the device away from you, forcing you to grab the keyboard to stabilize it. Does the 11” offer better lap balance - since the 11” is lighter than the 12.9” but the magic keyboards are apparently similar weight. Would be great to get your thoughts. Thanks.
I appreciate the helpful comparison . I am leaning towards the Magic keyboard for my IPad. Blessings on your day.
Another fantastic video, Jerry!
Im excited for my Logitech Combo touch for iPad Air 3.
Can you add like a quarter of a stop to the exposure? When you show the website it is dramatically brighter than you shot.
Thank you for the video
I love your videos Gary.... I’m an “Every Day Dad” too and I’m a huge “Techie” and find your videos very helpful and educational.
Thanks for a great comparison!
I am having trouble getting my backlight to stay on on the folio. Even with it set to 60 seconds if I stop typing it goes to sleep and hitting any key wont wake it up. I have to hit the backlight key to wake it up. Any ideas???
huh! interesting! Arrow keys just for flipping pages and also cmd+ to get into end or beginning of the text I'm typing...
Gary have you used the K380? Curious what you think about it as a typing experience/portable option that isn’t a case.
I like the idea of its multi-device functionality and ease of swapping between 3 devices, especially now when I have a home computer, work computer and iPad Air 4 in my small home office.
Love the videos!
I got the Logitech Folio Touch and tbh I don’t regret it at all, I loooove it and I can’t complain about anything tbh.
Im buying an ipad and im inbetween magic and logitech. Do you see any drawbacks using the logitech? Would you recommend it? Although do Ipads veri risky to dropping?(since I love that extra protection from the folio)
@@edonbabameto7652 I really have not noticed anything that has made me regret buying the Logitech, and definitely the extra protection is appreciated. It has been 8 months and I personally have not had any issues with it.
@@andreabejarano9239 hello, how is it after about 1 year of usage? I'm planning to buy one, and I'm hoping it is durable.
I'm looking forward for your reply!
@@denzel3212 hello! It works exactly the same as the first day! I have not noticed one thing different, slower, or anything of that sort! It’s also been One year and 6 months actually so yeah! Definitely recommended!
@@andreabejarano9239 that is great to hear!
Thank you also for the reply!
Thanks foe the review! Do you have any cases you recommend to use when you take your iPad off the magic keyboard? I’m trying to find one that is easy to remove when I want to put it back on the magic keyboard
I really like this set up. Lighting, wood table, dark background and video quality 👍
Don’t miss function keys at all - can change all I want in the control center, does not take more effort.. the usb-c port is such a game changer and I absolutely love the typing experience on the magic keyboard..
Did you try the Logitech slim folio pro? I’d love to see how that compares because it has the function keys, backlight, no trackpad but seems like it could be in the mix
I do use the arrow keys in “Numbers,” which is Apple’s version of “Excel.” Regarding the kickstand moving back as you tap the screen, I purchased some very inexpensive ‘foam pads’ at a hardware store that I placed on the edge of the kickstand, eliminating the scooting back. The number one reason I like the Logitech Folio Touch is the protection of the iPad. I want something that will protect my expensive iPad in case I drop it. I do not want to take the iPad in and out of the case. I want to always keep it in the case. I also really like that you can keep the iPad in its case when you use the different modes: typing, sketching, book and viewing. The third thing I really like are the two different ways to place the Apple Pencil in the holder. I want a case that’s going to hold my expensive Apple Pencil without fear that it’s going to drop.
Great information. Not sure if you changed lighting, rather dark.
Very useful!!! Thanks.
What’s that editing software you’re using in the video?
Totally out of left field, (great video btw) but where did you get your Star Wars shirt? I had the same one ages ago and can't find it anywhere. It was one of my favorite shirts.
I’m sticking with the magic keyboard! Just got it! ❤️ I’m enjoying it so much! Btw your expression in the thumbnail pic is hilarious lol 😂
Would love your review of the Zagg Pro Keys w/ Track Pad case!!!
that extra Usb-C is clutch though. I make music on my ipad and I have to use the usb-c for the headphones (bluetooth has latency). Having that extra usb-c lets me keep it powered up
I just ordered the magic keyboard for my iPad Pro a few minutes ago and then watched your video for confirmation. You definitely came through! Nice comparison.
I. Love you 😍
I use the arrow keys as media control for UA-cam and to move the cursor when I'm typing
Had the magic keyboard for a few days... took it back and got the folio.... having the function keys and the better protection... along with the lower price sealed it for me...
If Logitech made a more premium and sturdy folio touch i might buy it over the magic keyboard
All developers & ITs use the arrow keys, sometime in combination to other key to rapidly get to the star/end of a line or paragraph etc (also autocomplete on linux btw).. There isn't probably a day passing by without using it.
I use it a lot when doing reports in excel.
Reason I got the Logitech is one: I super appreciate the fact that it has function keys.
Two: I actually need the greater viewing angles that the Logitech offers since I do a lot of writing/drawing with the Apple Pencil.
I hadn't thought about the arrow keys until you mentioned it. I think the last time I used them was to page down on my Air. otherwise I haven't used them in a very long time since I replaced the Air with the iPad Air 4
Great video!
I’m a total keyboard shortcuts person, and the arrow plus option or cmd key move you to ends of lines/words/paragraphs etc. use them all the time!
The main place I use the arrow keys is when I'm typing, whether it's to go back and for between words with the alt + arrow or whether it's to go back because I wrote an incorrect letter or going up and down lines
Hey thanks for the review. I totally thought the Logitech was the winner but when you mentioned the wobble, okay, that’s a total deal breaker for me. Might be considering the Magic Keyboard in the end.
I have used an Apple Magic Keyboard with my 2017 iPad Pro. It stopped working after a year as I mostly use my iPad while sitting on a couch or chair. Switched to the Logitech keyboard (still using it now) and use it on the couch or recliner all the time. When sitting, I use a pillow on my lap when using to get the best view and avoid tilting my head at a greater downward angle.
I chose the Logitech Foilo for my iPad Air 4. Happy I did. I use my pad outdoors and the case is beefy. I use the arrow keys to "wake up" the display when I'm not sure it is still listening. (On a very rural dish ISP). I'm 6'2" and the "laptop" is not a problem. Fits my legs fine.
If Logitech made Thai for the 12.9 I would’ve gotten it. I dropped my iPad in the apple keyboard case and cracked my screen. I’d take a case case over a keyboard any day. I hate when you tubers talk about adding “bulk” these iPads are a grand or more and I’m supposed to worry about a little extra bulk lol sorry I’m protecting my 1300$ slab of glass.
exactly why i knew that i couldnt get the apple one
Logitech Folio Touch keyboard price is so affordable compares to magic keyboard, however I need to get an iPad Pro first. 😀😀😀😀 Thanks for this comparison video.
@@nickfekula6617 this was copied lol
Never understood why Apple has yet to include the function keys on their iPad keyboards. It changes the iPad experience dramatically, for the better. Shouldn’t have to rely on a third-party accessory to offer this 🤯
I never miss them.
I just use the CMD shortcuts.
Never miss it
I bought the Smart Keyboard with an iblaison cover which protects and keeps the keyboard attached to the iPad. I travel on the tube everyday and need to switch easily between touch screen and typing. I love the combination and feel my iPad is safe when I’m stood up on a busy tube
supporting you! ❤️
Thanks!
I'm missing the reviewing the cheapest series😥 Please upload to your second channel
Absolutely agree with your ranking!
I use arrow keys every day at work and never at home. Some of our programs at work are ancient and arrow keys are a necessity. TAB, numbers, and arrows are pretty much all I use at work along with the occasional (every 5 minutes) swearing at the computer.
I use the arrow button when I go to beginning or end of a sentence by pressing command left or right!
I have the Logitech touch folio for the iPad Air 3. It is a great case and makes the iPad really good for doing basic computing. I am very happy to save several hundred dollars over the iPad Pro to get the air which is a great complementary device to a Mac.
Do you know if the Logitech folio touch keyboard be available in Canada?
Arrow key user and PROUD!! lol. Just for spreadsheets though. No use otherwise.
The magic keyboard is the price of the ipad 8 lol
I was able to pickup the Air 3 with the logitech combo case for $325, almost the cost of the magic keyboard.
How do you move your typing cursor around without arrow keys?
I use the arrow keys almost daily.... especially in office apps (MS Word, MS Excel, Power Point, etc) and sometimes to scroll on the web, or navigate in the file explorer.
Arrow keys you say? Maybe you should try these handy keyboard shortcuts:
Typing: (Replace CTRL with CMD)
CTRL + Left/Right
CTRL + SHIFT + Left/Right
Browser: (replace ALT with CMD)
ALT + Left
ALT + RIGHT
And so many more.
I've mostly used the arrow keys in Affinity Photo. Making infographics for my real estate, easiest way to move things in increments. Never use them otherwise 😂. I'll likely get a Logitech one if they make the 12.9 but I'd prefer the Magic. I just can't see myself buying it.
I only use the arrow keys for coding and geogebra at school, to get out of parentheses and stuff
I've just used the arrow keys to fast-forward your video ^^!
Can’t find folio touch in the uk,would this be the combo touch over here?
I had the iPad Pro, bought the new MacBook Pro and instead of getting an upgraded graphics card I spent the money on a magic keyboard. It’s lovely and I can use both next to each other!
I love the se series. I’ve had the phone since it came out and just picked up a watch about a month ago
Do you have any idea why the folio touch didn’t get announced for the 12.9”? What a bummer since I’ve been waiting for this.
Yes, spreadsheets and moving the cursor on documents!
Just purchased the Logitech, and 1 week later I’m impressed. I had the Brydge Pro, very disappointed with the “Hing” that held my 11” pro. The Magic keyboard, I returned it within a day, not having the top row of smart keys was a deal breaker for me. Not to mention the Hefty Price tag.
My $20 had fn keys too :/ but overall the MK wins for me
7:38 which video editing software is that?
Arrow keys are used for keyboard shortcuts! Super useful!
Have a question I have always used iPad minis love the forum factor and don’t really upgrade however I did just get the iPad Pro 11 and don’t like typing on that screen at all it’s to wide is the Logitech case keyboard reliable/ durable it doesn’t have to be the best I just want something that will work and last , also what are your thoughts on the Logitech crayon 60 dollars cheaper than the Apple Pencil 2 isn’t bad if it last. Thanks for your help!
How do you go down when you search something on browser and the search result in the list first one. How do you go there without using arrow keys?
I dropped my iPad Pro 10.5 in, it landed on it’s corner. On the side walk no less. Fortunately I hade a Komo rubber case. It totally wraps the iPad. No damage to the iPad. Apple’s cases are scant and offer little protection.
Watching this on my IPad your video looks really dark for some reason have you changed your camera setup or something ? I had to crank my brightness all the way up. Good informative video in anycase👍
I was just wondering if these keyboard covers might leave any markings on the ipad screen? If it does... I would rather buy a case cover and a detachable keyboard
When does the Logi get released in Asia?
i just fell in love with his intro if i can figure it out you can figure it out 😂😂
Gary,
does the Logitech work with the air 4? It looks like it goes all the way around (much like my arm band tattoos) and I know several other brands that made the pro cases and they don’t work with the air 4. I know the deal breaker for me on the Magic Keyboard is I can’t fold it all the way open and use the iPad like an iPad, and fold it around the back.
Good video! I have owned iPads since the first and have loved them for documents and media consumption and I’ve never owned a keyboard for it. Even in my days of using it to take notes in college. If I were to go with any one of these it would be because of looks when sitting on a desk when visiting with clients and Magic Keyboard would be it even though the function keys are missing *wtf Apple….*. Looks like it would make a great docking station for not tablet mode.
I use the arrow keys every day. I use an SSH client on my iPad to connect to various terminals and the arrow keys are essential.
I use the arrow keys to position the cursor to certain parts of words to correct errors. 😀
The only time I use the arrow keys is in photoshop or affinity photo and that’s just to make small adjustment moves to line up objects if the object doesn’t snap
i use arrow keys for volume control on videos and for tracking videos. Then i use them in Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom.
I have Ipad 12.9 2020 and choose to use standalone magic keyboard 2 and trackpad 2. Re-using devices between different computers)
Much more convenient than the keyboard case, especially when iPad on Satechi stand.
I use the Logitech folio keyboard for my I-pad (8th gen not the pro version) and I was very surprised on how the keyboard is so responsive and actually has a backlit keyboard. I used to have a old logitech keyboard for my first gen I-pad and found that the keyboard was so laggy and had no backlit on the keys. I would recommend the Logitech and save some money!
I’m being completely honest here; the Logitech really surprised me - from the cons you pointed out in your vid just doesn’t correspond with my experience. Keys, trackpad/strolling, positioning the case on my lap all feels great. Protection and robustness is outstanding. Best investment I’ve made in a longtime and with Logitechs firmware update app for the keyboard was the icing on the cake. I’ve worked on Mac for nearly 25 years so Great job Logitech, very impressive product. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have the 12.9 iPad, so the cost of the Magic Keyboard was more than 299, and it’s still worth it. Expensive? It hurt for a minute, but not anymore! I believe in getting what I want. This magic keyboard is pretty awesome and I haven’t regretted the purchase. Other keyboards just don’t cut it. Nothing out there does what the Magic Keyboard does or how it does it. I do wish there was a storage for the pencil on the back. Almost lost my pencil the first day. But, I purchased a pencil sling from amazon for $10. It solves the problem. I hate that kickstand on other keyboards. Did I mention with the 12.9, it’s a bigger keyboard? I couldn’t imagine typing on a 11 inch.
Yup. i use the arrow keys as part of keyboard shortcuts to move between open tabs on my browsers
I brought the Apple keyboard and about to exchange it for the Logitech. The price tag is simply ridiculous for how limited the device is. You can't can right-click and for how convenient the USB C placement it's not like it doubles as a hub. I can use that extra 150% on something else
Great video. I prefer the magic keyboard. If I didn’t want to easily take my iPad off its keyboard I’d buy a MacBook. The lap usage of the Logitech looks even more clumsy than the Surface Pro.
Great video and I whole heartedly agree this is hands down the best keyboard-mouse-case combo money can buy.
You should review the Logitech Slim Folio Pro!
As soon as you mentioned the difficulty typing on your lap, my mind was instantly made up. Lol I type on my lap ALL the time. Plus the magic keyboard just has so many more features that sound better. The only thing I think logitek has going for it is the case and the function keys. Magic keyboard just sounds better all around.
Yes I use the arrow keys. But mostly on UA-cam, lol. Up and down arrows will adjust the volume (this can actually be better than using system volume) and forward and backward will jump the video forward and backwards.
I use the arrow keys because im huge into media consumption and games. For the magic keyboard or any keyboard theyre great for fast forward and rewind, using the mouse sometimes you might wind up flying back or forward to far while with the arrow keys you can move just seconds per click
The lap test is important, would have loved the price of the logitech though.
Agreed it’s an important detail
If you have the FT you have almost no reason to touch the screen which makes the wobbly -when-tapping issue moot. Overall great comparison!
When I went to get my iPad I was ready to purchase the smart keyboard folio that is until I heard about the Logitech Folio Touch a few hours earlier. The magic keyboard wasn’t an option for me because of the price but I decided to go with the Logitech Folio Touch case. Yeah the magic keyboard is cool and has slightly better features and all of that but I favor functionality over aesthetics. I knew if I got the magic keyboard I would have to spend extra to get the protection I wanted to protect the sides of my iPad. With the Folio Touch I don’t have to worry about being afraid that my iPad is going to to get damaged. Another huge plus and deciding factor for me was the function row of keys, as mentioned. That’s one of the best things about this case. I’ve never used the magic keyboard before and I’ve never owned a macbook so I have nothing to compare the trackpad experience to other than my 15.6” Lenovo Yoga laptop. I think it’s amazing that I can get a feel for the trackpad gestures that apple provides without spending an arm and a leg for it. I’m very happy and content with my purchase. Best $160 ever spent!!
The first sentence is where all time travelers slip up.
