Laptop Style Keyboard For Ipad

I have replaced my laptop with my IPad Pro and this Magic Keyboard. I love it!

Illuminated keyboard, great sync to iPad, turns iPad into a laptop as well!

We are really loving this keyboard! My Ipad acts more like a laptop with touch capacity!

Like many, my computer is in the bedroom. Late night sessions meant hunting for keys by the light of the monitor and keying slowly to keep the noise down. More time wasted than productive. It became obvious a new keyboard would be needed. This one met all requirements for an acceptable price. It was a pleasant surprise when it arrived. It's solidly built. Despite its thinness it has a surprising weight that prevents it from shifting around under fast typing. Its laptop-style keys require less travel and finger extension, which suits me fine. The illumination is mostly uniform and is controlled with a dedicated key (four levels of intensity). I didn't bother to install the included software because the extra media functions weren't needed and because it's Windows-only. Al-in-all I am perfectly satisfied. Be aware that this keyboard is not for gamers, but for those who might prefer a laptop-style keyboard-- typists.

We got this because my wife wanted a keyboard that felt like her Surface Laptop 3 keyboard, which is a great keyboard for a chicklet-style ultrabook keyboard. And we got it despite its price ($99!) and complaints about it disconnecting often (it's Bluetooth 4). But my wife has noticed no disconnection problems; the device feels like it may actually be worth $99 (not quite, but close) and the keyboard is almost as good as the one on the Surface Laptop 3. Not bad! Even I like using it (though I prefer keyboards with longer key travel and higher activation force).

I like this keyboard very much. The keys look like laptop keys but they have a nice feel. Style of the keyboard matches my Mac. The keyboard was packed diagonally in a box and arrived with the ends slightly bent. Not bad enough to return, but I wish B & H had packed it more carefully.

My previous iPad case didn’t always connect right away, dropped the Bluetooth connection at times, and was very sluggish. Part of that might have been due to the iPad itself. But this combination of the iPad 11 Pro and the Zagg keyboard/case is fantastic. Easy to set up, no problem connecting, like typing on my laptop. Keyboard feels great, and disconnecting the iPad from the case is easy and helpful. The only con is that it’s fairly heavy. But still a lot lighter than my laptop. Love this keyboard/case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am reviewing this in comparison to the Apple Magic Keyboard which I already had. I like that case protects the corners and you don’t have to take it out of the main casing to use the iPad without the keyboard. The keyboard easy detaches. The main negative to the Apple keyboard is you have to have the kickstand out to use it like a laptop which is harder to do if you have it on your lap vs a table top. The Apple one uses tension. However, the Apple one cannot go 360 degrees like the Logitech can. Both feel equal quality and keyboards are comfortable. I would say, if you want versatility and durability, then the Logitech wins out. If you are looking to use the iPad as more of a laptop, then the Apple magic keyboard takes it.

Turned my iPad into a small laptop computer and protects the iPad at the same time. Keyboard lights up to make seeing keys at night a breeze. It also attaches magnetically which makes it easy to remove for reading in portrait mode. Trackpad is very smooth to the touch, very close to my MacBook Pro. It gives you the best of both worlds, a laptop or tablet. Best thing I ever bought for my iPad.

I carry a yoga laptop, two 9.5" iPads, Zagg iPad keyboard, charging cables for all of the above. External charging battery for the idevices, headphones, sunglasses. A thermos, travel coffee mug, 32oz hydro flask for water, I still have room left over. It's one of the best back packs I have owned and I have had it for about three years now and it really looks no worse for the wear. It has plenty of room, so much in fact that some times i have to search through all the pockets to find stuff.
