Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case with Trackpad for iPad Air (3rd Gen) and iPad Pro 10.5-inch - Graphite by Ishon Prz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Turns iPad into a functional laptop

I've had it for a month now and I can tell the following things. Pros + Responsive keys positioned for fingertip typing - this matches my typing speed + Keys are backlit in adjustable levels so typing in the dark is easy + Adds the ability for a trackpad to move the cursor and an item to select (provides either hard press or touch-click functionality in Settings) + Trackpad supports Mac-like multi-finger functionality + Function keys above contain some Mac-like functions for sound, light and system lock + Function keys also contain a button that how a home button works, one that shows or hides the onscreen keyboard and one that opens the search box + the globe button in the bottom left corner can be assigned as Esc (very handy) + the iPad case includes a kickstand, to keep the tablet upright - Works pretty well on my lap + The case provides protection for the iPad for Clumsy + The case and keyboard are covered in a material that looks like fabric but holds up well l no visible stains + Case has a loop for a Logitech Crayon or Apple Pencil + Keyboard can be detached to allow other than case and Stand + Keyboard uses iPad power, no Bluetooth lag or separate battery + Mac users will find the Cmd and Option keys work as expected. Cons - Keyboard doesn't automatically activate after iPad locks - You have to remove and reconnect the keyboard (hoping iPadOS or a firmware update fixes this) - Home button sometimes becomes inactive and requires reconnecting Link dance as above (hoping for a fix soon) - takes a while to get used to slightly smaller than full size keys, but not bad - no way to reprogram the keys other than choosing a keyboard language and one single globe key (see above) - Some complain that the keyboard comes off easily when handled like a laptop (not a problem for me). Conclusion: I like it very much. This makes my iPad the compact equivalent of a laptop. Only the occasional loss of a feature prevents a 5-star rating.

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE STAND - The flexible stand lets you tilt it up to 40ยฐ so you can always find the right angle for the task at hand. When you don't need to type, detach the keyboard and enjoy iPad's unobstructed screen.
