Logitech Smart Keyboard For 2018 11 In Ipad

I've been using a 2018 iPad Pro 11 since it was released and didn't think they could improve on it much, but the extra zip from the M1 really makes a difference in my 3D and animated work. I was on the fence about upgrading to the 12.9, but I love how light and small this thing is, especially considering the power it packs.

Overall good design, it fits a 2018 11 iPad pro with a slim cover tightly (no pencil) and a lot more. Great for everyday use.

This is the best addition to my iPad Pro 11 inch (2018) that money can buy. It protects the screen, reduces glare and fingerprints AND gives the pencil just enough traction so you can control it without effort. I was actually quite shocked with how much hand stress and fatigue was reduced. I can just use the pencil and not have to focus on controlling it, just using it. The “how to install” video is perfect and makes the installation effortless, ever for a guy with two left thumbs. Thank you Paperlike.

I purchased the 11 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard as an eventual replacement for my older laptop. With several weeks of use, the keyboard exceeds my expectations. The user interface and touchpad function are so much like the MacBook the transition has been mostly seamless. While small, the keyboard works very well with my adult male hand size. It's pricey, but works great!

I'm using the Camvate 11-inch articulating arm to hold a Logitech Brio webcam straight down over my Roland keyboard workstation (music.) I needed something secure enough and that would let me orient the camera from the perspective of the person playing the keyboard. I attached the articulating arm with a super clamp to the equivalent or an overhead shelf. For something lightweight like the Brio webcam, it worked like a charm. I did not use the cold shoe mount or the connector that came with the articulating arm, so I cannot comment on those. So far so good, I like it. Btw, it is little, just in case you were wondering.

I bought this to replace the 5 1/2 year old Smart Keyboard for my 3rd generation iPad Pro. I used the old keyboard extensively with the iPad, eventually wearing it out. Given how much I enjoyed using the old keyboard and how long it lasted, it was an easy decision to replace it with essentially the same device. The only difference between the old and new keyboard is the size of the back camera opening, which is larger on this newer version. I also prefer this keyboard over Apple's Magic Keyboard because I can fold it back behind the iPad for reading a book, which the Magic Keyboard doesn't do.

For this iPad i had two options. The Smart Keyboard from apple or this. And I’m glad i chose those. The keyboard has a trackpad and a place to keep the apple pencil which i though i wont really need but found to be super useful.

To me, this is a must-have accessory for your iPad if you want to get actual work done with it. Before this, I had the earlier version of the Folio keyboard, but this new version is so much better. The keyboard is great and makes the typing experience enjoyable. The whole case is very sturdy and you don’t feel like the iPad is going to accidentally fall off. I hear a lot of people complaining about the fact that you cannot fold this case back onto itself to use the iPad vertically, like you could with the Folio. I don’t mind this, because if I do need to draw on it, I can easily detach the iPad and use it vertically, which is a lot lighter anyway. The cursor also works very well. I didn’t think I was going to get used to a dot instead of a pointer, but it’s totally fine. A few nit-picky cons I have are: I wish the angle the iPad tilted backwards was greater, I wish the trackpad height was wider (it’s pretty small compared to MacBooks), and I wish they made a version specifically for the 2018 iPad Pro, because the camera design isn’t the same as the 2020 iPad Pro and it looks a little weird aesthetically with the 2018 version. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase.

[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.

This is the 2nd Logitech case like this that I’ve purchased for iPad, and I don’t regret either purchase. The keyboard connects to the iPad/iPad Pro via the contacts built in to the iPad so I no longer have to worry about making sure that a Bluetooth keyboard is charged in addition to the iPad. I don’t often need to use the built in track pad, but it is nice to have sometimes. It isn’t the easiest to use on a soft surface (lap, etc). It is definitely designed to be used in a desk, but the adjustable tilt angle makes it very comfortable to use on any hard surface that I’ve tried. If/when I buy a new iPad I plan to get a similar keyboard and case combo!
