It’s more flexible in some ways, but less elegant in others.
Price and Availability
The 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.
Instead, the Combo Touch is two separate pieces that magnetically attach together.
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.
The first part is a kickstand case around the iPad Pro.
The second part is the actual keyboard with a trackpad.
This is part of why Im overly conflicted about it.

The Touch Combo is more versatile with its kickstand but less refined in the keyboard and trackpad department.
you could 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.
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.
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.
Tyler Hayes / How-To Geek
On closer inspection, some nuances keep it from being quite as good as Apples more expensive product.
On the con side, the way the bottom keyboard connected to the kickstand case was floppy.
Even using it on a table, there were times I could feel it flex from side to side.
Tyler Hayes / How-To Geek
It was much harder to use on my lap or on an uneven surface.
The Combo Touch isnt good to use on a lap either.
The trackpad is also mechanical with a physical click so it will be louder than Apples new haptic trackpad.
Should You Buy the Logitech Touch Combo?
Im glad theres a good third-party keyboard case alternative to Apples.
The problem here is that the Combo Touch still isnt cheap.
The price is less, but its definitely not inexpensive.
It got annoying to put my iPad in and take it out.
If youre typing more regularly, I would suggest opting for Apples new Magic Keyboard.
Its too good for typing and turning the iPad Pro into a laptop to ignore.
