This is an excellent alternative to the company branded alternatives. It can be used in several different ways and protects the iPad completely. The keyboard is great (it’s a Logitech) and it can be removed or attached backwards for the times when you want to use your iPad as a slab with the Apple Pencil 2. It is considerably less expensive than its counterparts as well. All in all, it’s probably the best option out there for the current generations of the iPad Pro.
Thank you for your excellent review of the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard. We appreciate you highlighting its multi-mode functionality, comprehensive iPad protection, and affordability.

I bought this instead of paying twice as much for an Apple OEM kbd and case - which was WAY too expensive.
I would have preferred no trackpad - and a kbd that was positioned at the front edge. But this was the best I could find for a reasonable price.
What's good?
- The fit is perfect
- The quality is very high. MUCH better than the material Apple uses
- it is backlit! Love that.
- the easel stand works well - and stays where you place it offering multiple positions.
- Case and kbd are integrated in a single unit
What's not so good:
- I did not need the trackpad. Though the trackpad works really well.
- I wish the kbd was located on the front edge - instead of having a trackpad
- I wish the case had a pencil holder - instead of relying on the iPad magnet. (I am always knocking it off)

The Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case is absolutely great 80% of the time (or more or less depending on your primary use). The 20% of the time it does not work great for me is when trying to use it on my lap, when sitting on the couch or in bed.
I use my iPad Pro as essentially a third monitor for work activities, so I have it set up in "keyboard mode" a good portion of the time, with the remaining work time spent marking up PDF files with the keyboard detached. When using it outside of work, I largely use it while sitting on the couch or in bed.
Having the ability to remove the keyboard, while retaining the protection of the case is, in my view, one of the best features of this keyboard relative to the Magic Keyboard. Depending on how you use your iPad, perhaps the lack of a protective case when detaching the iPad from the MK is not a deal breaker for you. But, as someone that often detaches the keyboard, it is comforting knowing that the iPad is still protected with the Combo Touch case, which is not something the MK offers.
Regarding the typing and trackpad experience, I have never owned a MK so I cannot speak specifically as to the typing or trackpad experience on the Combo Touch versus the MK. But, what I can say is that the typing and trackpad experience on the Combo Touch is absolutely great -- I have read and seen reviews that the MK offers the better experience in those regards, but, not having ever used the MK, I cannot say that the Combo Touch offers an inferior experience. And, if you are in a similar position as I was in -- picking between the two without any prior experience -- if you were to select the Combo Touch without going into a store to compare the typing and trackpad experience, I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed with the typing and trackpad of the Combo Touch (sometimes ignorance is bliss).
In addition to the Combo Touch offering a great typing and trackpad experience, the other major keyboard advantage the Combo Touch has over the MK is the function row. The counterargument by those beholden to Apple products is that it's easy enough to simply swipe down with your finger and access the control center. While that is undoubtedly true -- it is not "difficult" to access the control center without the function row -- it just seems counterintuitive to the concept of utilizing a keyboard to be forced to not use the keyboard in order accomplish very common tasks (e.g., changing the screen brightness, volume, etc.). I think the two most likely reasons Apple did not add a function row are (i) the function row would essentially need to be "behind" the bottom of the iPad, due to the way the MK suspends the iPad, and (ii) given the way the MK suspends the iPad, if using the MK, the iPad itself is slightly closer to your hands when typing, and thus it is easier to use your finger to access the control center than doing so on the Combo Touch. That said, in my view, the function row seems like something Apple should nonetheless implement on the MK, and, ultimately, if some consumers decide not to utilize it (and instead use their finger to access the control center), so be it, but I am sure some consumers would utilize it. I am sure there are plenty of features in the various Apple products that not all consumers utilize, so the addition of a function row would be no different.
Another advantage that the Combo Touch has over the MK is the material. As noted, I have never owned nor used a MK, so I cannot say this with first-hand knowledge, but, based on the reviews I have read and seen, the MK seems to get dirty/greasy due to the material it is made of, whereas the Combo Touch's jean-like material does not.
And perhaps the most obvious advantage of the Combo Touch is the price. Apple products are generally expensive, and the newest iPad Pro model easily exceeds $1,000 for the 12.9" with the lowest memory capacity (and, as you increase memory capacity (and also if you select the model with cellular) can approach $2,000). Add another $100+ for the Apple Pencil (which, regardless of your primary uses for the iPad, is a must have), and many consumers are approaching $1,500 in total costs, which could get you a pretty nice laptop/computer. So for those looking to save over $100 on a keyboard, the Combo Touch may be a good choice. Of course the counter is that, if you've already dropped $1,500, what's another $100. And to those people I respond with, "please feel free to Venmo me $100 if that's nothing to you."
The above are many of the great things about the Combo Touch compared to the MK. But of course there are cons.
To reiterate, I have never owned nor used a MK, but I can confidently say that the experience of using the MK on your lap, while sitting on the couch or lying in bed, must be better than the Combo Touch, as doing so on the Combo Touch is PRETTY bad, almost to the point where it's not even possible to do so with any sort of comfort. When I am using the Combo Touch on my lap, the keyboard feels a bit flimsy, and it is abundantly clear that the suspension and sturdiness of the MK would be much better for this type of use.
A couple of other differences that I think the MK likely has a leg up on the Combo Touch (at least based on reviews I have seen and read): (i) the suspension and angle of the MK brings the iPad screen slightly closer to you, which could offer a better viewing experience (this may be more relevant for those with the 10.9" iPad, as the Combo Touch works just fine for my 12.9" and I have never thought "oh, I wish this the iPad was closer to my face"); and (ii) the MK offers the extra USB-C charging port, which is useful for charging or utilizing other devices (for me, this isn't a huge advantage, as I don't use any external accessories such as a hyperdrive, though the spare USB-C port could also be used for charging your phone (but, that's not really an issue I often experience and need to solve for, particularly given the availability of iPhone chargers and outlets)).
All things considered, the Combo Touch works great for me -- it offers a great typing and trackpad experience (and if you have never used the MK, you certainly will not feel as if you are missing out on anything), a detachable keyboard that provides protection for your very expensive iPad that the MK does not, a function row that you will absolutely use very often whereas the MK does not, it will likely remain cleaner than the MK due to the difference in materials, and, the most obvious, it is $100+ cheaper. While the MK would undoubtedly be better for use of your iPad on your lap IF YOU ARE USING A KEYBOARD (otherwise, there is no difference), I do not often find myself wanting to utilize the keyboard while sitting on my couch or in bed. I use the keyboard primarily when working at a desk, so this "negative" about the Combo Touch was not significant enough to sway me over to the MK (though I appreciate that may be very important to others, and in an effort to give a good, unbiased review that is applicable across the board (and not just specific to me), this difference is the sole reason I am giving the Combo Touch four stars instead of the five stars I would give if reviewing it purely as it relates to my personal use of my iPad/keyboard).
The last thing I will add that I think may be underappreciated is that, while the Combo Touch itself is $100+ cheaper than the MK, purchasing the Combo Touch could also save you an additional amount. As noted above, the MK is one piece, and when detaching your iPad from the MK, your iPad is not protected, whereas when removing your iPad from the Combo Touch keyboard, your iPad remains protected with a solid case. If you are someone that is likely to make a lot of use of your iPad when it is detached from a keyboard, if you are like me and were to purchase the MK, you will absolutely either want (i) a separate non-keyboard case for those situations, that you could quickly toss on your iPad when removing it from your MK, or (ii) AppleCare for your iPad. And perhaps you would purchase AppleCare either way (after all, $150 for 2 years of coverage for such an expensive device isn't terrible). But, with the protection the Combo Touch offers when detached from the keyboard (especially if you also utilize a tempered glass screen protection that you can buy for $10), I personally have decided NOT to opt for AppleCare. So, in addition to saving $100+ on the Combo Touch itself, I have also saved an additional $150 that I likely would have spent for ease of mind if purchasing the MK (thus making it a $500 keyboard).

This case makes the iPad Pro even more of a laptop killer. I used to own a Microsoft Surface Pro 4. This case is like the good ol' days of having a Surface Pro 4, but of course with Apple's efficiency and integration with other Apple products. I love the fact that you do not need to charge the case separately and the fact that the keyboard can magnetically detach from the case so you can just have your case.
The keyboard of course adds heft to an already heavier iPad, but for those laptop type functions, it is worth the price of heft. If you have no place to put your keyboard but you want to just hold onto your iPad to read or write, no problem! Just snap the cover on "backwards" and it will hang onto the back of your iPad cover.
The built in kickstand is really helpful in keeping the iPad upright when using it as a laptop, but it can also be really helpful if you just want to watch something or have a recipe up while you are cooking sans keyboard.
While this is not as pretty looking as the Magic Keyboard, this is an actual case with a very good keyboard and touchpad. It will protect your iPad and you will not have to worry about the safety of your iPad.

Best iPad Pro keyboard around. The case protects the iPad well while not adding too much bulk and the added function keys (volume, screen brightness, etc.) are a big improvement over the Magic Keyboard from Apple. Also worth noting is that the material used is much more durable than Apple’s keyboards and resists looking stained/greasy like the Magic Keyboard. The ability to remove the keys and stand up the iPad for watching content is a nice feature that comes in hand at times. Overall, this is a great value and highly recommended.

Coming from Apple's Magic Keyboard case for my iPad Pro 12.9", I can wholeheartedly say that the Combo Touch is better. Sure, the build quality isn't on the same level as Apple's Magic Keyboard case, but the Combo Touch has way more functionality and overall value. For about $100 less than the Apple Magic Keyboard case, the Combo Touch will always protect my iPad Pro no matter what I'm doing with it. I can type, write, or draw, and I never have to take my iPad out of the case. The stand is very adjustable for both typing and writing. Similar to Apple's case, the typing experience on the Combo T. is on par with current gen MacBooks. The trackpad is great too! Although this is only advertised for being compatible with the 2021 12.9" iPad Pro, I have confirmed it absolutely fits a 2018 12.9" iPad Pro. It's very snug and I haven't had a single issue with this case. All keyboard and trackpad functionality works 100% once you install Logitech's App.

This is a really solidly built device that feels premium. The soft fabric surrounding the keyboard and protecting the back of the iPad is really pleasing in a tactile sense. The typing experience is comparable to what I have with my old Macbook pro. The clicky trackpad is responsive without being stiff. The keyboard backlight is adjustable. Unlike some others, I have been able to balance this on my lap in bed without issue. The standout features of this device for me are : a) Ability to tear the screen away from the keyboard easily. The convenience of this cannot be overstated. b) Protection for both the front and back of the device. To stow this in a travel bag with the screen being protected, simply attach the keyboard and fold it. It's great not to worry about the screen being scratched!

I bought this case for my new 19.5” IPad Pro. It has a cover for the IPad itself along with the keyboard. I have used an Apple Magic Keyboard for another IPad and when it’s removed to use as a tablet its “naked”. No protection. One other reason I like this Logitech Combo Touch is the row of function keys on the keyboard - volume, search, screen brightness, lock, etc. The Magic Keyboard makes you use the control panel for these functions

This case is fantastic, I’m a current owner of the Apple magic keyboard and I do love the floating looks, but the iPad is not as protected as in this case. It is very slim, sleek, elegant, and the fabric touch feels very nice. This cover looks more durable than the other ones I have. I always buy Logitech as a 3rd party accessories manufacturer for Apple products. The backlight keyboard is very bright I would say better than the apple one. You can set this case in 4 different ways and the detachable keyboard is a winner.
Logitech did pay some attention to detail when designing this case. On the top edge of the case there's an exact opening for the Apple pencil that allows you to attach your pencil nicely. The anywhere trackpad is fast and accurate. It feels like using a laptop instead of a tablet, and typing on the keyboard feels amazing. I tested this product for a few hours and I didn't have to charge the keyboard at all, I love that. If you want extra protection for your IPad don’t look any further. This case is way much better than the original and it also looks amazing.

The Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Folio for the iPad Pro 12.9” (5th & 6th Gen) is a top-notch accessory that significantly enhances productivity. The backlit keyboard is well-designed, with responsive, laptop-like keys that make typing a pleasure, even in low-light conditions.
The folio’s detachable design is incredibly versatile, allowing you to use it as a stand, keyboard, or protective case. The precision of the trackpad, combined with excellent gesture support, provides a seamless navigation experience, making it feel like a true laptop replacement.
Its Oxford Gray finish looks sleek and professional, and the sturdy build offers excellent protection for the iPad. The Smart Connector ensures easy setup and eliminates the need for charging the keyboard separately.
While it adds some bulk to the iPad, the Combo Touch is an excellent choice for professionals, students, or anyone looking to maximize their iPad’s potential. It’s worth the investment for its build quality and functionality.
That's a fantastic review of the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Folio! It's clear that you've experienced the benefits of its premium build quality, versatile design, and enhanced productivity features.

I love this keyboard! I appreciate that it comes in two separate pieces. If I don't want to use the keyboard, I can simply detach it and use just the case with the mount, which is perfect for when I want to cook and watch TV at the same time.
Thank you for your kind words about the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Folio! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the versatility of the detachable keyboard, making it perfect for situations like cooking and watching TV.

I really appreciate that the keyboard can be flipped behind the iPad case without needing to detach it—super convenient for quick transitions. As expected from Logitech, the keys are responsive and comfortable to type on. The larger trackpad is a welcome upgrade and generally works well, though it’s worth noting that if you start a gesture from one of the corners, it doesn't register until you move about half an inch toward the center.
The only downside—and the reason I’m docking one star—is the case material. The rubberized surface is extremely prone to fingerprints and surprisingly difficult to clean. In my opinion, Logitech should have stuck with their previous fabric finish, which looked better and was easier to maintain.

The keyboard itself is excellent however when you leave your keyboard attached to the iPad considering voice over users, the battery drains rather an alarming rate, it keeps repeating the date and time in a very annoying way with strains the battery in an hour or so! Detaching the keyboard from the case it's OK however we need the screen covered like the previous ones, beside the backflip to keep the iPad standing is not a practical one, we wish we have another way of stand like a back of a photoframe for example I repeat in itself it's really good Keyboard and this is my second second one my first it was for Air pad two which was excellent literally excellent, thanks my Accessability people :-)

I have Apple’s expensive keyboard for my 2021 12.9” iPad Pro. It’s nice, has an extra charging port, and makes the experience feel premium. But it takes up a large footprint, is heavier than the iPad itself, and costs a lot for something that’s missing a row of function keys.
I didn’t want to always carry around a $350 keyboard case just to watch movies. I picked up the Logitech Folio Touch and have been happy with it. They keyboard is solid, has an adjustable backlight system, features a row of function keys, they keyboard can be quickly (and easily) disconnected, and the case has a built-in kickstand. I enjoy propping my iPad up wherever to watch a movie or surf the net.
The experience reminds me of another product series and that was one of their main selling points. The fabric feels sturdy, I don’t think it’s going to come apart in the first year or two of ownership. I do with Logitech offered different colors and made a non-fabric model so I could sticker bomb it.
The keyboard offers a solid typing experience that’s more reminiscent of premium notebooks and the trackpad also feels premium. It’s larger than Apple’s and it lets you click anywhere. All of iPadOS’s gestures are fully supported and the function keys offer a notebook-like experience. The kickstand isn’t as strong as I would like but it holds the iPad up without issues and stays in place. It can be adjusted to any angle as well.
I highly recommend this case for anyone wanting a kickstand, premium keyboard, and something that can be disassembled so you can carry just the iPad around. I was hesitant because of the lower price but this is an all around nice case that’s thinner and lighter than Apple’s more expensive keyboard case.

I’ve been pairing these combo cases with every iPad for a few years now. I continue to despite previous one’s having the rubber distort and become misshaped. They are that good for my use case and keep coming back despite issues in the past. The kickstand is just phenomenal, the keyboard gets a pass and the trackpad improves every revision. I have no regrets buying this one and so far after a few months it seems they may have improved the rubber, time will tell. 1 star dropped due to cost.
Thank you for your detailed feedback on the Combo Touch Keyboard Folio. We appreciate your continued loyalty to our product over the years. We're glad to hear that the kickstand and trackpad have been particularly valuable for your use case. We apologize for the previous issues with the rubber distorting and becoming misshaped.

I am absolutely in love with this keyboard. The connectivity is seamless and effortless. The size is perfect and the trackpad is very smooth and easy to use. It feels like I’m on a regular laptop every time I am on my iPad!
And I am so in love with the color. It’s SO nice to have a color option besides black, silver, or grey… (#DoBetterApple). The sand color is very neutral and matches pretty much any aesthetic! The color also elevates the overall look and makes it more professional.
Also, the keyboard portion is very easy to connect and disconnect from the iPad part of the case and it doesn’t leave any residue/fingerprint marks on the iPad screen!
Don’t waste your money on the Magic Keyboard or folio keyboard from Apple!!! If you want a great quality keyboard that comes in various colors and also is way more affordable than the Apple ones, then look no further than Logitech.

Got this over the apple magic keyboard because it provides better overall protection as it actually covers the ipad unlike the magic keyboard that only snaps magnetically on the back. Keyboard is just as good! Love that the keyboard can be detachable when not using the keyboard! Better than the magic keyboard imo! And for a better price!

I bought this to pair with my new iPad Pro 13" M2 as it was on sale, and I wasn't keen at the time on wanting to drop $350 for the magic keyboard. Do I want the magic keyboard, yes. I would prefer it, but cost was the primary factor. This gets the job done, but I can't say I'm entirely a fan of the form factor and extra space this takes up with the kickstand. I do however like being able to detach the iPad from they keyboard and still have it protected in the case, especially when taking hand-written notes or browsing on the couch. I'll probably end up using for a while until I find a good deal on a magic keyboard, and keep it as a backup if I need it. Time will tell how well the keyboard and trackpad hold up and just doesn't have that premium feel like the magic keyboard does. But otherwise the keys have nice travel and tactile feel. It does seem a lot more durable than the M2 magic keyboard material though. Overall its enough for the price point, but just feels slightly lacking.
Hey! Thanks for your honest review of the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Folio! It's very helpful to hear that it gets the job done at a good price point, with features like detachable keyboard and good protection. Durability seems like a big plus for you too. We understand the desire for a slimmer form factor and more premium feel, and appreciate you sharing your experience to help others decide.
