If you're looking for a folio keyboard that offers good protection for your iPad, the Logitech Combo Touch is a solid choice. It comes in size variants to fit 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models as well as 4th and 5th-generation iPad Air models. It also uses Apple's Smart Connector for power, so you won't have to charge the keyboard as it'll draw power straight from the iPad. On the back of the case, there's a sturdy kickstand to prop your iPad up at a nice viewing angle.

The keycaps have a nice soft-touch coating to add some grip, which is helpful as the tile-like keycaps can be a bit slippery. There's also a trackpad for on-screen navigation, so you don't have to get fingerprints all over your screen. As a bonus, there's even a slot to hold an Apple Magic Pencil. Overall, this folio keyboard has a lot of nice touches, and thanks to all its size variants, it's the best keyboard for iPad Pro that we've tested.

If the price tag is a tad too steep, check out the Logitech Folio Touch. It only works with the 11 inch iPad Pro, but it's much cheaper and has many of the same features as the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad 2021, like a trackpad for gesture support. It uses the Apple Smart Connector feature to connect with and draw power from the iPad, meaning you don't have to worry about charging it separately. The row of dedicated media keys allows you to skip songs or change the volume without going directly into a media app on your iPad, so you won't have to disrupt your workflow to skip that song you can't stand. Unfortunately, while it does have white backlighting, it doesn't get as bright as the Apple, and the keys aren't individually lit. Also, its typing quality is only okay, and its small size means your fingers may feel more fatigued after long sessions.

If you want a keyboard designed specifically for an iPad Pro, the Apple keyboard is a surefire bet. If you'd prefer to spend less money and you don't mind compromising a bit on the performance, check out the Logitech.

The Max+ offers a great trackpad and a good keyboard, turning your iPad into a mini laptop with a protective, detachable case.

The Combo Touch combines an excellent trackpad with an impressive keyboard, plus a removable case. It can stay positioned in a wide range of angles, but it’s not great on your lap.
