If Apple’s Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro doesn’t interest you or you want to save a few dollars, Logitech’s new Combo Touch might be the perfect fit. It's more flexible in some ways, but less elegant in others. The choice is still challenging as, during my testing, I found myself torn between Apple's and Logitech's products.
Logitech’s Combo Touch is a keyboard case with backlit keys, iPadOS shortcut buttons, and a large trackpad that can also keep the iPad Pro safe.
ProsThe Logitech Combo Touch for iPad Pro comes in 11- and 13-inch models. The 11-inch option retails for $229.99 and is available in a graphite color. The 13-inch model sells for $259.99.
The new Combo Touch keyboard series is also available for the iPad and iPad Air devices.
If the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case for Apple’s newest iPads were just a cheaper alternative, it would be much simpler to recommend to people looking to save some money. Instead, the Combo Touch is two separate pieces that magnetically attach together.
The first part is a kickstand case around the iPad Pro. The second part is the actual keyboard with a trackpad. Together, the two parts create a mobile workstation that makes it easy to ditch the productivity piece when it’s time to watch videos.
This is part of why I’m overly conflicted about it. Apple’s Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is sleek and minimal, good for turning the iPad into a laptop, but it's a single piece that feels bulky when I don’t need or want the keyboard half. The Touch Combo is more versatile with its kickstand but less refined in the keyboard and trackpad department.
The simplest way to cover Logitech’s Touch Combo might be just to list its pros and cons. You can decide which aspects are the most important to you.
First with the positives. The kickstand case that went around my 11-inch iPad Pro (M4) fit securely without any weird gaps. It added some thickness to the ultra-thin hardware, but less than I expected.
The kickstand hinge on the back was rigid enough to stay where I moved it to, but not stiff enough that it was hard to move in or out of place. All the ports and holes on the case lined up well, and the Apple Pencil Pro cutout along the top was an exact fit.
Down below, the keyboard is backlit so I can use it at nighttime. I found the keys to be a comfortable size for typing on. I really liked that the function row, above the numbers, featured keyboard brightness, a home button, and a screenshot button, in addition to the screen brightness and media controls. Not all of those buttons are available on Apple's iPad keyboard.
Basically, at first glance, the Combo Touch is a first-rate iPad keyboard. On closer inspection, some nuances keep it from being quite as good as Apple’s more expensive product.
不利的一面是，底部键盘连接到支架外壳的方式很松软。即使在桌子上使用它，有时我也能感觉到它从一侧弯曲到另一侧。在我的腿上或不平坦的表面上使用它要困难得多。
Combo Touch 也不适合在膝上使用。你可以做到，我尝试了几次，但每次我都渴望妙控键盘有更好的单圈稳定性。
虽然触控板表现良好，但仍有几次它的防手掌误触功能不如苹果，所以我遇到了不必要的光标移动。该触控板也是机械式的，具有物理点击功能，因此它的声音会比苹果新的触觉触控板更大。
与其说是缺点，不如说是值得注意的一点，外壳上没有像妙控键盘那样的额外 USB-C 充电端口。
另一个小细节是 Touch Combo 可能需要在某个时候更新其固件，这需要通过 App Store 使用 Logitech Control 应用程序。我宁愿依靠苹果通过操作系统来保持键盘功能，而不是第三方应用程序。
我很高兴有一个很好的第三方键盘保护套替代苹果键盘保护套。如果您想要做与妙控键盘不同的事情，或者如果您想省钱，那么罗技 Combo Touch 是值得考虑的。
这里的问题是 Combo Touch 仍然不便宜。与 11 英寸 iPad Pro (M4) 兼容的型号售价为 230 美元，而妙控键盘的价格为 300 美元。价格虽低，但绝对不便宜。
另一个考虑因素是，采用 Combo Touch 路线意味着您的 iPad 可能需要放在支架盒中。把我的 iPad 放进去然后拿出来真是太烦人了。
我认为那些发现自己只是偶尔打字并更多地使用 iPad Pro 作为视频播放器的人可以在罗技的产品中发现很多价值。如果您经常打字，我建议您选择苹果的新款妙控键盘。它非常适合打字，并将 iPad Pro 变成笔记本电脑，不容忽视。
罗技 Combo Touch 是一款键盘保护套，配有背光按键、iPadOS 快捷按钮和一个大触控板，还可以保证 iPad Pro 的安全。
