Our choice
The Zagg Pro Keys keyboard case stands out with its comfortable, responsive, backlit keys, removable inner case, two viewing angles, and the ability to pair with two devices.
Also available for these iPads:
Aside from its great typing experience, the Zagg Pro Keys has some advantages that other keyboard cases lack. The case can be used separately from the keyboard setup, featuring backlit keys with customizable colors and brightness levels. It also allows pairing with two devices, such as an iPad and a phone, with dedicated iPadOS function keys and an Apple Pencil holder. Although slightly wider and heavier than some competitors, the added functionality outweighs the bulk.
Another excellent choice
The Logitech Combo Touch combines an impressive keyboard with an excellent trackpad and a removable case, offering a wide range of viewing angles. However, it may not be suitable for use on the lap.
Also available for these iPads:
For users looking to use their iPad Pro more like a laptop, the Logitech Combo Touch is a great option, featuring a smooth 4.4-by-2.3-inch glass trackpad and full support for Apple’s multitouch gestures. Similar to the Zagg Pro Keys, it stands out with its typing experience and separable case, while drawing power from the iPad Pro via its Smart Connector. Although not ideal for lap use due to the foldout kickstand, it offers better functionality compared to lower-cost trackpad-and-keyboard cases and provides almost as much value as more expensive options.
Premium choice
The Apple Magic Keyboard offers exceptional keys and an outstanding glass trackpad, making it a great choice for those looking to use an iPad in place of a laptop. However, it is expensive and heavy, and not everyone may need the trackpad functionality it offers.
Also available for this iPad:
For users seeking a top-tier trackpad and keyboard, the Apple Magic Keyboard for the 11-inch iPad Pro (4th generation)/iPad Air (5th generation) and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the optimal choice, featuring superb keys, a high-quality glass trackpad, and a highly adjustable screen in a sleek package. However, it comes at a steep price and is of similar weight to the Logitech Combo Touch.
