Somehow you are the only reviewer that recognizes the fact that keyboards can be used on the lap. Everyone else only talks about the feel on a desk. So thumbs up from me. If you want to add to that segment show us how well the keyboard works if you're lying back in bed or on the floor.
Received mine yesterday, totally love it. Typing is fun, so is browsing the web flicking away with that awesome trackpad. This review convinced me, so thumbs up, guys. I got exactly what I expected …
09:35 The bulky bumper case makes perfect sense now. It's there to protect the iPad when it slips from your lap.... Overall a great product, can't wait to get one for my iPad Air 3.
The keyboard shortcuts are a big plus compared to the magic keyboard on the Pros.
I hope Logitech will release a keyboard touch for the iPad Pro
yeah definitely better than the magic keyboard and just half the price
I just got my unit in the mail today. I love it. Its quite easy to get acquainted with and feel comfortable typing on right away. I love the feel of the materials. I also like the heft it adds to the tablet itself. Makes it feel a little more protected. Im using it in my lap right now. There is a little wobble typing, but nothing one cant live with out. However, using it in the lap, the kickstand digs down into my legs a bit. The quality of this thing is amazing. I also feel it makes my iPad so much more useful now. I was going to buy a Macbook to have as well. Glad I waited for the keyboard to arrive. I dont need a Macbook now. This will suffice quite well!
does the KB alone work with the 1st and 2nd gen 12” iPad Pro? looks like the Surface keyboard
I was going to say, what the hell is an iPad 7?
Who cares how bulky it is as long as it protects your iPad.
Simon P its the iPad 7th Generation but i called it the iPad 7 cuz easier for me but apple did replaced the 2018 iPad 6th Generation 9.7inch with the 2019 10.2 inch iPad 7th Generation
Rachel Andres
Ah!
I still have the iPad Pro from 2016. It still works perfectly.
The Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case is good.
I had to make do with a different type of keyboard but it protects the whole of my iPad Pro.
That proves that you don’t have to really keep upgrading all the time.
There will come a time when it will need to be replaced but at the moment it’s nearly as good as the day I bought it.
I’ve had one since December and I love it
I have the 10 inch and it’s really good
Lot people out there say if its thicker or heavier than an ipad air then its too much. Its BS. If Apple engineering changed the regular ipad then Apple would absolutely charge more. I am fine with the way the ipad is. Its an intro-gateway to the Apple garden. Its fine.
Question, can you use the case with a Smart Cover? If you want to detach the keyboard but want to still cover the screen
Very good and comprehensive review.. thumbs up man.. keep it up👍
Just want to say you sold me when you connected the iPad with just the keyboard. I was on the fence and I didn't even consider that as an option so thank you for answering that for me. I'm sure I'll find a reasonably priced kickstand on Amazon, I'm much more interested in the keyboard and I prefer the space and weight saved over the protection.
Very nice keyboard. Thank you for providing excellent quality reviews.
I just got this keyboard myself. Best investment into an accessory I could’ve made to this day. Typing feels so natural on the keyboard and feels really satisfying. The material feels great too.
can you press the ‘ key? I cant get the ‘ key to appear...
Amsterdam Liver woah thats crazy I cant get it to work either. I thought it was just a defective model. Im gonna see how I can get that fixed...
How does the material stand up to water or dirt? Is it easy to clean or stain easily? I work as a cook in a restaurant and use my iPad to do my homework when it's not busy
9:24 That’s how I dropped my Surface Pro 4 face first in the concrete, just weeks after getting it. Still kept it as a back-up tablet with a cracked screen. iPad 7 is my current tablet. Not gonna take that risk again.
Why didn’t you buy a screen protector or a case for it?
Does the keyboard still register keystrokes if you open and then fold the keyboard up under the back?
This is so helpful as a regular user :)
This is just perfect . Planning to sell my 2020 ipd pro 12.9 . Honestly I don’t need so much power or screen . I just need this for taking notes , Netflix and sometimes using to connect my work windows machine .
Please do a size comparison between this product (without the cover/kickstand) and MacBook Air again?
How do I select multiple objects using the trackpad?
It would obviously need some reconfiguring but if they made one for the 12.9" Pro I'd be seriously interested.
Will u be getting the magic keyboard for iPad this week ?
Good job on the video and review
How long until this comes out for the iPad Pro? I really need this as a cheaper alternative for the magic keyboard but I have a feeling that it will take some time.
Great keyboard, track pad.. great value. The bulky design is fine for the protection of my iPad
Thanks for the perfect review, I have one question, is the keyboard safe on the screen when closing it? Thanks again for the review.
Is this worth it to upgrade from the Smart Keyboard for this?
It looks like you have a tad bit of barrel distortion on that lens you're using.
it looks really nice with space gray color
I’m having intermittent connections and disconnects with this keyboard. This happened with the apple Smart Keyboard so I’m starting to think if it’s the metal contacts on my ipad.
Is Logitech launching a version for old 12.9" iPad Pros(2015 & 2017)?
Can I still use the 7th gen combo touch if I were to upgrade to the iPad 9th gen?
If I already have the smart folio keyboard is it worth upgrading or should I just get a Magic Trackpad to go along with the keyboard I already have?
Will the Logitech Crayon fit in the pencil holster?
Is it supported editor key lumafusion shortcut keyboard protection
I have the original Smart Keyboard by Logitech for the 9.7" iPad Pro and have used it for the last 4 years. Works absolutely perfect. Love the Smart Connector usage. Bit of a shame that the new Pro has basically, a useless Smart Connector. Not needing to charge the keyboard and having instant connectivity is the best. Yes, it's a little bulky but in 4 years of real abuse, not a scratch on the iPad.
BTW, I think $500 is a fantastic deal for the whole setup. For basic computing (Word, Google, etc) and media consumption, it's totally great. Basically, half the price of a MacBook Air and slightly lighter.
So sad that they don’t make it for the 9.7” iPad Pro. Would definitely consider getting one of these seeing that I can’t justify buying a new iPad. My 9.7” is still chugging just fine !
Jared Cruz the 9.7 will work for you for a long time I used to have that until I upgraded to the 10.5
Might buy one now
Will those iPad origami stand helps to make the overal thinkness much thinner?
Can we get a case that is thin that has opening for the connector?
Great video, I love your channel!
Is it compatible with iPad Pro 10.5? Since in Apple’s website the compatibility of this device was good only for iPad (7th Gen)
Can you set macro in this keyboard?
I’ve ordered one for my Air 3
Great review
How to buy it outside the US it’s not available on apple website and neither on Logitech
I just got this but trackpad is not working. Can you make a video on solving that problem?
Do you have a recommendation keyboard for the 2018 or 2020 iPad 11" or 12.9"? I am in the market to purchase an iPad and the Apple keyboard is quite expensive. I don't do video editing so. I probably don't need all the bells and whistles. However, I do want to replace a laptop. I love the keyboard in the video but I am visually impaired so I want the bigger iPad. Thanks!
I tottaly would have purchased this over the beefy folio typing case for the iPAd Pro. I have always been a fan of logitech products and this is clear example of why. The only thing I would recommend or change, would be a more secure holder for the apple pencil. The fact they offer an app to work with the keyboard case is a nice added touch.
can this be used in other ipads?
Is there away to change the back cover? Its very heavy
I bought the iPad Pro 10.5 and listed my Surface Pro for sale when I saw this case release. The case is pre-ordered on Amazon right now. So hyped. (low key wish they offered it for the 12.9 inch variants but I can see the conflict with apples personal keyboard demographic)
Its a good plan to downgrade iPad Pro 11 to 10.5 just for thiscase ?
Whats the best color iPad to buy with this?
I want this for my iPad Pro 2018 so bad. Not interested in the exposed sides on the native apple combo
Compatible with ipad air 3.?
I hope these don't fail like the apple smart keyboard with the 3 connectors not connecting properly after some time.
The regular ipad could be said to be bulky itself so adding the Combo touch its not that much difference. If you are going to be carrying the ipad with you it will be in a backpack no so problem. Plus the Combo protects the ipad and has a loop for the pencil.
Is it compatible with 8th gen iPad as well ?
Question, when u remove the keyboard, but u don’t want to lose the keyboard, what can that do about it?, because I don’t want to have to carry it with me when it’s off
And probably more stable than the soon to be available new apple smart keyboard if I had a 7th generation iPad id buy one, and if there was a version available for the iPad pro 9”, I'd definitely buy one.
8:20 If they release one for the iPad Pro 12.9, could I use my Smart Folio as a stand and then attach the keyboard underneath it? Since there is a bit of space underneath and the iPad isnt completely touching the surface? I really like this keyboard and I like how you can angle the ipad to write notes, as student I love the combination of typing and writing. However I just find the whole set up too bulky, and I would like to easily detach and attach the iPad without much hassle. Or is there another keyboard that is similar to what I want? What are your thoughts on this? Thank you in advance 🙏:)
So did you combine a case for the back whilst using the keyboard??
Kinda looks like a surface keyboard. Looks amazing, even better!
Can it fit in a 6th gen ipad
Just taken delivery of one of these, and it definitely feels high quality for the money, and much better value than my Apple Smart Keyboard. Key travel is also excellent.
Are you ok with the added weight and thickness?
How's the smart connectors compared to the the apple smart keyboard. After a year, my connection started getting worse due to the connectors not touching the metal parts on the ipad. Have you had any connection problems at all? Hope logitech did a better job with the connection problem than apple.
@@stacia6678 I got mine yesterday. Its really quite a heavy beast now. But why should this really matter? Even if its 5 kg, its surely no problem to lift it. And you wouldnt feel it on your lap or on your table anyway.
Really great build quality. I think the extra weight and sturdyness will be also beneficial for a long lasting hinge / keyboard functionality
Sarah Flanagan apple magic keyboard is amazing but the smart one? Who came up with it it’s terrible but this Logitech one is great
Great posetive review
how's the hinge feel like, compared to surface kick stand?
Allan Sh Probably worse, floppier.
It feels pretty good. Not as high quality as the Surface obv, but not bad for a $149 keyboard case.
@@djsnowpdx Actually no. It feels reasonably stiff enough.
I found a 3rd party one for $40 however it’s Bluetooth and I have a 6th gen and I found one of those for the 6th gen and it costs $70 witch is A little to high for me I found a 7th gen for $170 on offer up and idk if I should buy it because I’m going to buy the the new 13 inch or 14 inch MacBook Pro
Does anyone know how to copy and paste with the touch keyboard
How do i get this? Im from india. It not available here
I want this but it is not available in my region
Will it work with ipad pro 9.7 inch 1st gen?
For ipad air ?
With the pro they can make it connect using the built in magnets!
This video made me buy one lol (I have the ipad pro 10.5 inch and works great)
You can configurate the "ñ" for spanish, please answer 🙏
The setting for adjusting the backlight dimming on the keyboard is not available with new update from Logitech. All you get from the Logitech Touch Combo app is a wallpaper. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but that setting is not there. It’s like I’ll have to reset my Ipad 8 and start fresh without updating the Touch Combo app.
Logitech, if you read this; please bring back this feature in a new update. I don’t need my backlit keys to stay on too long and drain the Ipad’s batter.
Wish they made one for the ipad pros 2018 and 2020
If you already have the iPad Pro 10,5“ would you recommend buying this keyboard instead of a MacBook Air 2020?
Depending on your needs but in general, I’d still go with this with the iPad Pro 10.5 especially with the massive app library and how far iPadOS has come.
Yeah it totally depends on your use. I have a laptop and iPad Air 3 but use the iPad for almost everything. Laptop takes over when iPad feels limited but that doesn’t happen often enough for me to warrant keeping the laptop. My iPad is my school device so I write papers, read, research, and take notes on it. Amazing how far iPad has come.
I might hold out for your review Jeff when the Magic keyboard comes out! Which trackpad do you think will be better? Curious do they have a version of this for the 12.9” iPadPros? That Slope looks awesome. It says up to 10.3” though so not useable or any version for the 12.9? It’s magnetic?GRT vid as always sir
Hope they make one like this for Pro cause i really like this design
Micah K they won’t. They’re making they’re own (apple)
Nathan McCreary Umm.. Apple isn’t making the case, Logitech is. They can make whatever they want, or maybe not, since they’re closely tied to Apple. Who knows, but I’m hoping for a budget case for the iPad Pro from whatever manufacturer
@@stacia6678 If it's made by anyone else than Apple or Logitech, it's not going to make use of the smart connector like this one though
There is one for the iPad Pro 10.5 if that’s what you meant though...
Nathan McCreary Guess you were wrong!
Anyone know why this isn't available in Europe yet?..
Hi! Thank you for the neat review. One question: do you know whether this Combo Touch keyboard will ever come in other languages than American English? Thank you!
Nooooooo idea. Try asking a Logitech representative from their website.
Just look for it on Apple's website in your language.
Hi love your vids
I regret having bought A iPad Air with 64G,but now I feel it's too small,if I bought the 256G version before,I definitely would buy this keyboard
I bought mines a few weeks ago. For some reason, every time I try to insert a punctuation mark by pressing shift plus the key that shows said puctuation mark, it shows a different one. I have to either start pressing shift plus random keys until I find the punctuation mark I need or just use the touch screen… has anyone else have or had this problem? If so, is there a way to fix it or reset my keyboard?
Thanks!
excellent video, I have a question, does that keyboard affect the battery consumption of the iPad a lot?
No not at all
turns ur iPad into Surface Go, lol
Yeah, and the iPad is a waaaay better deal. Just get a Lightning and USB (or USB-C) flash drive on Amazon and you’re set. All the previous iPad complaints are gone. This can run mobile apps as well as desktop websites, so it’s much better than Pentium Land where the Surface Go resides.
@@stacia6678 The only advantage the SurfaceGo has, is that you can use desktop apps (and that not really well). But even that will fade away when companies actually develop apps incorparating the new iPadOS with trackpad support.
Zephyrus can’t run all desktop website.Apple is still very limited compare to surface which is full computer in your hand.Fir basic things and mobile apps,gaming etc...apple is better
yung mouss What do you mean “All desktop website?” Name one please.
yung mouss when safari runs in slideover, it gets the mobile website. when it’s in full screen or split view, it always gets the desktop website. even whatsapp web works. every website just sees it as a mac and whatsapp even says i’m signed in on a mac and tells me there’s an update for the mac app. and apple isn’t limited, the ipad air is way more powerful than the pentium in the surface go. the only limitation is the apps available. but even that, they’re usually very specific things that there is no alternative app on ipad. and when you say “full computer”, not really. you have windows 10 S which limits you to only apps available on the windows store, which has WAY fewer apps than apple’s app store. and if you want full windows 10 you can do that, but say good bye to a smooth experience and say good bye to your ram, because that’s not optimized for low storage and low ram systems.
This review convinced me! Just bought one because Apple Smart Keyboard lacks lot’s of great features this one has.
Is it better from your use case? *pun intended*. I've been debating which one I should buy.
@@thomasmonaghan4202 bolding attempt *failed*
I want to buy this too ! It has the back case, the trackpad and the holder for the pen, things the Smart Keyboard doesn’t have
Not bad. I still use my Incipio ClamCase+ with an iPad Air 2. It actually feels, looks, and sits like a laptop, but it's missing that trackpad since it's years old now. I'd rather get something the same, but with a trackpad
I will get it tomorrow with Logitech crayon, hope my kid likes it as much as I do
All I want is a case for the iPad Pro that has a trackpad, backlit keys, shortcut keys, kickstand, 360º cover, kickstand mode for Apple Pencil use, Apple Pencil holder, adjustable viewing angles, and the ability to fold the keyboard back to use as an eReader. Is all that too much to ask?
yes
get the 10.5 inch pro and this case.
Your looking for a Lenovo Yoga Book
Logitech just came out with one the other day that covers almost all of these features (for the 2018 and 2020 11in pros)
You forgot one item and that is all in one light weight case!
Does it have different colours because I would LOVE a rose gold one of these
Nope..
Mine says not supported when I connect it
Mine will be here tomorrow
When will this actually be on sale? It’s not available on their site right now.
it is but their link is broken. www.logitech.com/en-us/product/combo-touch.html?crid=1762
This is a really cool piece of tech. I liked it since I don't feel I'll be needing an iPad anytime soon. But an iPad 7 may work well with enough storage. (:
Max is 128 gigs. Still about $350, so buy this and you got a great $500 computer
@@stacia6678 You read my mind as to what I was going to Apple's website to look up. Thank you.
This make me want to buy iPad7
I want this so badly for my pro but in my country it’s not selling anymore and I can’t reach thisss from anywhere. Where is the keyboard Logitech???????
I need one I have the Arteck it’s ok , I’m writing a book so I like this one best.
Is this also compatible with 10.5 Pro??
Jason Lee there are two versions: iPad 10.2 and iPad Air/Pro 10.5, select the ‘correct’ version while ordering!
someone knows if they will make one for the ipad pro 11?
Doubt it, Apple has it on lock with the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro.
