New Trackpad Update for Combo Touch

for an 11-inch iPad Pro purchased in June 2021 for $199.99. Unfortunately, there aren't many options with a trackpad capable of three-finger gestures. In fact, I can only find the Logitech Combo Touch and the Apple Magic Keyboard that support three-finger gestures. And I've looked everywhere. Pros* Function keys (including the ESC key).* No batteries required.* The iPad case can be detached from the keyboard. * High quality keyboard keys. * Large trackpad (larger than the Magic Keyboard) that supports three-finger gestures. * iPad case with all-round four-side protection. * Backlit keyboard. * 1 year manufacturer warranty. Cons * No secure mount for the Apple Pencil (nor does the Apple Keyboard) * Takes up more desk space than the Apple Magic Keyboard. magic keyboard). The Combo Touch is $100 less than the Magic Keyboard ($199 vs. $299), so you're saving money right away. What I love about Logitech is the extra function keys (including the ESC key), a large and accurate trackpad, and an iPad case that detaches from the keyboard (a BIG PLUS). All of these features are not available on the Apple Magic Keyboard. Also, I like very much that Combo Touch requires no batteries (the keyboard plugs into the iPad connector), large tactile buttons and a 1-year warranty. Everything is at Apple Keyboard level. Some things I don't like are the lack of a secure Apple Pencil holder, a USB-C pass-through charging port (for charging an iPad), and the difficulty of balancing the Combo Touch on your lap. because of the design. The last point certainly differentiates the Magic Keyboard from the Combo Touch. Apple's design allows for a rigid platform to tilt and display the iPad. The combo touch rests on the back to maintain the iPad's viewing angle. So which keyboard and trackpad combo is the best? It's difficult to say. It really depends on which features are most important. If you want the ability to detach your iPad case from your keyboard and still protect the case, or really need to add function keys and/or want to save $100 over an Apple keyboard, go with Logitech. If a minimalist design or frequent use of a keyboard on your lap is important to you, choose Apple. Magic keyboard. The latter can be a great SOLUTION for the Combo Touch if you plan on using your keyboard/trackpad on your lap or in bed a lot. Both have excellent trackpad mechanisms. Much better than all competitors. In fact, after looking at the reviews on Youtube, it seems that Logitech has redesigned its trackpad to that it can be clicked anywhere (including at the top of the trackpad).
