Logitech's Combo Touch keyboard case is now available, and we've spent a good amount of time using this case.
Because of the built-in trackpad, it makes your iPad more like a laptop replacement than ever before, allowing you to use gestures and have accurate control over the new cursor support for iPad.
In this review, we discuss everything from the design and build quality, to how to customize and make the most out of the trackpad and keyboard.

Max Tech yes, and it’s cheaper than the normal no trackpad keyboard by apple. It’s basically a magic keyboard with no pass though charging and floating ipad
Max Tech , does the keyboard fold back so you can use the combo in a ‘tablet mode’, without needing to disconnect it?
Yes I wish it would be available for the iPad Pro
Max Tech thanks so much I just ordered this keyboard cover it says it will get delivered tomorrow
Can you please make a separate video, going through the mouse (not trackpad) gestures on the iPad? (Especially for iPads with a home button)? I figured out some of them but I can’t figure out some things like switching between apps or getting to app switcher on my IPad Air with a bluetooth mouse.
You just earned yourself a subscriber for that pointer animation tip

Seriously, that’s like some troubleshooting steps you would take as an MSP or something 😂
Great review. You pointed out a lot of things other reviewers missed, including the fact that the keyboard can be used without the case. That means that someone who likes the keyboard, but finds the case to be too heavy and bulky, can just get a lightweight, non-keyboard folio case for normal use, and throw the keyboard in their bag, ready to take out and quickly attach when they need a keyboard.
I wish there was a Logitech alternative like this for the iPad Pro
i agree
I am with you! Hopefully Logitech will develop one for the iPad Pro. The one they currently have does not have the trackpad. I initially ordered the Magic Keyboard but promptly cancelled it as I can see that there will be better alternatives and are even more affordable.
Yea but Apple won’t let Logitech to develope on iPad Pro
That’s sad
@@tdrawup That's a bummer. This configuration makes sense to me who regularly needs to be able to sketch and write with the Apple Pencil, and yet be able to switch quickly to keyboard input. Makes me wish I have the regular iPad, LOL.
Damn looks like Logitech absolutely nailed it with this keyboard case! I'm sure some people will complain about the thickness, but I got the latest 10.2 inch iPad for my daughter who is going into high school in September and this will be PERFECT for being pulled in and out of her backpack and thrown around etc. The function keys are awesome too and make basic actions a single button press rather than having to deal with menus and swiping through iOS itself to change simple things. Another fantastic, informative video from the boys at Max Tech that really help me get the most out of my $!
That's our goal :) Glad to help and hope your daughter enjoys the iPad setup! -Vadim
This keyboard offers so much more functionality than the new magic keyboard for iPad by apple, and it is cheaper too.
Aashish Devgun I wouldn’t say more just different
If they offer better key travel and trackpad, I wouldn't mind spending more on a Logitech case compared to the rigid and half-done Apple magic keyboard
Aashish Devgun they both have their benefits. The magic keyboard has the “woah” factor, is slim and beautiful, has a better trackpad (not by much tho), that extra usb-c port and you can use it on your lap. This has the extra durability, more viewing angles, function keys and is still pretty good looking. Oh and obviously the price... its more than half the price! Obviously these comparisons dont mean much because they are for totally different customers and different ipads
CURTlS also the apple one seems more sturdy in the lap
@@CURTlS The magic keyboard is definitely not something to be considered as beautiful. The texture and build quality look pretty cheap for its price, except for the keys.
Just got mine yesterday for my new 9th generation iPad. Very impressed
That pointer animation tip about connecting a mouse once to get to those settings “ Clutch” . You sir just made my life better.
This is easily the best review of this case. Thanks!
Best review on the Logitech keyboard yet
Just to let you know that you did really good with the review. And the way you speak makes it more amazing and detailed. Keep it up!
This case even has a function keys, iPad Pro Magic Keyboard case doesn't even have
I'm a bit disappointed that the Magic keyboard case doesn't get them. I thin it's because if they did, the top row of keys would end up right under the floating iPad Pro and it could make it a bit awkward to use those keys. I wish they did add that top row, though. -Vadim
But does it float? No sir I don't think so.
@@batuoc99 does it matter.. no I don't think so 😂
Tarun Srivastava it’s a joke
Ikr
By far the best review I have seen for this case (and I’ve geeked out and watched literally dozens of them 😉) brilliant video dude!
Your content can't be found on other channels so great💪🏽💯
This is great it beats the type cover because the price and what you get. With the case it costs as much as a type cover and you get a better case and a trackpad. I know you could use a mouse but you save a lot for such great trackpad. Thanks for the review! An iPad Air 3, iPad mini 5 or iPad 7 could a budget day to day laptop or iPad Pro. Although many professionals may use a mouse for easier navigating.
(btw that baby in the zoom gestures was cute)
Dude it’s way better than Apple’s new keyboard. Seems it’s more useful
no
Yes
Hell yes
@@Justaniceboy31 Oh no
@@Justaniceboy31 Absolutely not.
Thank you. I have the Logitech Smart connector keyboard case for my ipadair3 which I love. So it’s the one without the track pad. I don’t want to buy another with a track pad but your review showed me I still have things to learn on my existing one! Blessings.
Incidentally, I was intending to buy the Apple smart connector keyboard at that time because pretty much all the reviewers said it was the best. Then I went on the Apple store website and checked the customer reviews (which they’ve now blocked). 90% of them said the keyboard failed after about a year and this was the most expensive keyboard on the market. I’m so glad I got the Logitech, still working after a year!
Outstanding review of this keyboard case and the tips and tricks just put this over the top. Thank you! This video may have been uploaded 3 years ago but it is every bit as relevant now in 2023 as it was then... maybe more so because the price of this for the 9th gen iPad is at $104 USB on Amazon (as of 9/6/2023).
I’m getting this for my iPad 9 and this video was incredibly made. Well done.
This better then even the magic keyboard, I want one for my 11 iPad Pro, such a shame they won’t release one for it
conamus yeah apple planned it in such a manner that your forced to buy the magic keyboard since the Smart Keyboard has a hardware issue that will cause it to stop working within 2 years
@@alchemy-the-animated-series You're not forced to buy anything. The keyboard is simply a luxury and not needed.
They just came out with the folio touch
Not bad, this case adds the latest touchpad functionality to the non pro iPads, while offering drop protection and a surface pro like kickstand. I kind of wish they made one for the Pixel Slate back at launch, it would have been nice to have the pen loop and the easy keyboard removal while still being protected!
I have the previous none touchpad version for the 10.5” pro. It’s by far the best design for a tablet I’ve ever used. It’s not as much of a designer look as the new magic keyboard case (not as pretty) But! It’s far far more practical, I’d recommend this design as a power user.
Finally, another awesome review. Thanks for this helpful review 😊🙏👍
*_This makes the iPad 7 like the Surface Go. Now, only if this has a MIL-STD drop test rating (for certain feet/meters) which is very important to me, then I'm sold. The keyboard and trackpad are very valuable. Thank you so much again for this great review._*
MAX TECH!
Pro Tip: For Spotlight Search from anywhere, just use Command + Space (like on MacOS). It works anytime, within apps or not.
This is the best review I've seen for this, I think it's better than the magic one for the new iPads. For 150 it's a much more reasonable purchase too!
Thank for the review. You really are the best honest tech channel (and also the most informative) I know. Keep it that way!
We sure will! Thank you! -Vadim
Just got this iPad today!
I have watched a dozen videos but I got more out of your than all the rest, thank you!
If I had a wish I would like to see Logitech offer a cover along with the keyboard to swap on and off when needed when the keyboard isn’t needed!
I love the look of this case I’d love one for my pro
Amazing video, respect, you explained all the important features, i watched more than 20 videos on youtube about this keyboard, but nobody explained it like you...
Thx for this cool video...
Everyone who has been trying to know what’s the music in each speaker test:

Very very well detailed review 👍
Thank you for doing this video! I was looking for a good sturdy case for iPad 7 but didn’t know what to get. I am planning on going back to college soon and needed information on a great case. I like how it comes with a touch pad and keyboard as well!
Thank you for an amazing review. This is the best and most detailed review, I came across on the Logitech combo touch keyboard.
Smart Connector puts these Logitech Combos one step above the rest right out of the gate.
as usual great vid. Im going to get this for my ipad pro 10.5.
This keyboard case + iPad 10.2 seems like good competition against cheap windows/chromebook laptops, or even vs the Surface GO that came out a few years ago
Yes, I mention that in the video. Very great choice!
@@MaxTechOfficial Got that idea from your 6-Month review of the iPad 10.2 you uploaded a few days ago. Appreciate you continuing to review the more budget-friendly Apple products Max, thanks for steering us consumers in the right direction and providing us with options without us having to do the hard work and research.
I like logitech combo touch more.This logitech keyboard supports touchpad plus connects to device via magnetic connector which is more accurate ,best in response,and much lighter and also lack of battery issue than bluetooth keyboard. Also it has function keys and much wider range of viewing angle that we can feel like using a laptop. The keyboard can also be removed if you want it to use as tablet mode, and the case still covers the device. But i wish to produce logitech combo touch for ipad pro 2018 and 2020 with more USB C built in keyboard.
Best review on this case 👍👍👍
Excellent review and i appreciated the help with the gestures for it!!!
Dang, wish there was also a model for the old 2nd Gen iPad Pro as well. Still love the 2017 G2 iPad Pro, but I really like the trackpad idea as well.
Great video. Tap to click is a great recommendation. I just bought this Logitech Keyboard for my new iPad 9th and I am loving it.
Excellent, detailed review. Thanks!
Thank you definitely getting this one , you were awesome i just subscribe to your channel 👍👍👍
Just bought one of these yesterday, based on this review. Did Logitech remove the ability to adjust the keyboard 'duration' and 'fade' in their app? All I see is the option for Update Notifications 🤷🏻♂️
Dose it work on iPad 9th generation?
Yes
it does coz im using it in mine
@@Woohallie how do u like it and what is the price on it?
Learned so much! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Just ordered this for the iPad 9th generation. Can’t wait to use it. awesome vid.
Does it work on roblox and minecraft?
Thanks for sharing with your experience!!!!
I wish there was an option for a decent keyboard case that doesn't fall off/has a hard bottom so it could be used more like a laptop, and not just when there was a table or hard surface available
I think Brydge makes iPad keyboards with a solid hinge.
i know!!
This is Great ! We need this for the Pro model
I enjoyed this one brother.. very good review.. you've touched every aspect what this keyboard supposed to do.. thumbs up!
Outstanding review. You are the only person who commented about the deficiencies in the track pad.
It looks like a great keyboard for the iPad! With pencil support there are some great options now to replace laptops for most people!
Good review very detailed
I’ve watched ur tech reviews for a while now, ima sub even tho I cant afford anything u review xD
Thank you for the in-depth review. I will purchase with your link.
I would really like for Max Tech to do a comparison of 2in1 products as this is where the iPad really competes (everyone seems to be doing the ‘can your iPad replace your laptop’ videos - I’m waiting for the ‘can your laptop can replace your iPad’ videos!). Perhaps iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard versus Surface Pro 7 or X. IPad 10.2 with Logitech Combo versus the forthcoming Surface Go. And also compare to other 2in1 devices such as Lenovo Yoga series.
And the Samsung galaxy Tab s is pretty good too
We will definitely consider that. We already have a video comparing the iPad Pro to the Surface Pro X, but that was before these trackpad cases came out. -Vadim
I was looking for one thank you so much 🙏
The product is awesome and the review is excellent
very good informative review.subbed
i love the fact that
the fact that WHAT?!
Just got mine today. Love it so far. Lot to learn on it but that’s half the fun! 👍🏽
Thanks for the video.😊 Cheers 🥂
I received mine some days ago for iPad Pro 10.5.....it could be great, but I experience disconnections very often, even when I am writing a phrase some entire words are not are written at all. So...telling the true, hard to recommend it...
Maybe your ipad is faulty because mine doesn’t contain those issues at all
This thing is waaaay more worth the money than the magic keyboard. It even has function keys. This thing has way more advantages than disadvantages.
Yes! I feel like Apple created the Magic Keyboard as sort of a status symbol of their brand. When AirPods came out, people were shocked by the price. Imagine the same thing happening with the Magic Keyboard case in one to two years, where the floating iPad design just screams Apple, and people will gladly pay $300 for their iPad to float while sitting in a coffee shop. -Vadim
You pay extra for the ability to "float" and also charge your IPAD without using the 1 port it has. NO OTHER case does this on the market currently. You pay for what you get.
You can change any settings on the cursor support using the trackpad in accessibility and keyboard backlight brightness now has 16 settings
Here’s the thing, I didn’t buy my iPad for a laptop replacement and I still will get my laptop soon, so I will not be buying this case since it’s just a worse version of a MacBook/Surface (connected with the iPad ofc). But this case would be great for people who are actually buying it FOR a laptop replacement.
I don't think the ipad will ever be a laptop replacement. At least not right now. I use my iPad for typing on Google sheets when I'm at work and finish that project at home using my laptop since the iPad can't support certain file formats. I think this case will work perfectly in my case.
Great video! Very informative!
Just got an email saying mine shipped while watching this 😎
Update it’s awesome! Might make a video about it and compare it to my brydge keyboard and old surface pro
After 9 months, how is your experience with it?
@@anwaar1265 very good! It really makes the iPad into a laptop replacement. I’ve since got the m1 MacBook air so I’m not using it as much but it’s nice.
Is there any lagging while typing?
@@anwaar1265 nope, since it uses the smart connector. It's always responsive.
the brydge keyboard uses Bluetooth and there's a noticeable lag when it goes to sleep.
Thank you for the input
Bought this product after viewing your video. Thanks for the amazing content. Definitely love my new Logitech Combo Touch for iPad Air 3rd Gen :)
Does it work on roblox and minecraft?
@@YourNotMaria no idea on this as I have mainly use it for Microsoft Office - Outlook Word Excel and Safari for office purposes
На русском ютубе такого нету. Все всё показывают одно и то же. А ты молодец!
You can build yourself an amazing setup. Buy yourself an iPad pro 10.5 or an iPad air 3 fit in this case with its trackpad/keyboard and your apple pencil 1st gen and you´re good to go. Why throw away your money on a iPad pro 11 inch or the New iPad air 4 when you can get the above mentioned setup for at least half the money
What about for the IPad pro 11 2020? When can I buy one for the the 11 inch 2020?
fab thx iv ordered one of these from Currys UK (the best price). good review as usual. Im a fan
perfect option . i really dont like apple keyboards. precise review . nice work.
Question, can you use the case with a Smart Cover? If you want to detach the keyboard but want to still cover the screen
I have the iPad now I need the case and pencil
I have all of them,the Logitech combo touch,the Apple Pencil 1 and the iPad 7th gen and i gotta say its sooo good
Si tengo un iPad Air 3 de 10.5 puede servir el combo touch para iPad de 7;8;9 generación .? Cual es la diferencia entre los dos teclados del iPad Air 3 y los iPad que tienen las mismas dimensiones
Are you kidding me!!!!?!!? I love this case, and it isnt available in Australia yet, and it is nearly $100 dollars difference!! :( i love this case and of course I cannot get it.
Hi hi, i was wondering, can jt highlight or select multiple items? Let say of i want to copy multiple picture, so i higlight few picture and copy it or drag it to another album/files?
Excellent review! Lots of fresh information! Thank you
This is what i looking For 👍🙏
They had to make the case thicker to handle accidental drops in schoolroom use. Since I used to buy the edu version of some 11.6” laptops just for ruggedness when traveling, I’m ok with Logitech going with a less thin design. It’s too bad they didn’t redirect the speakers to the front though. That’s a neat trick on some designs.
… using one right now.
At 7:06.. comment on the spotlight search, there is keyboard shortcut “cmd+”space bar” will bring up the search
Great review. I have this keyboard for my 2020 iPad 8th Generation and it works flawlessly. In the UK where I live its £119.95 and at that price its an absolute steal. No regrets.
Sorry for being late, but by any chance does it work on roblox and minecraft?
@@YourNotMaria I have absolutely no idea
@@aiden_heafield5892 oh alr
@@YourNotMaria I use it specifically for working in uni rn, I haven't tried playing any games with it. I'd expect not though, because that would be software that game developers would have to integrate. I don't think they have, I could be wrong.
@@aiden_heafield5892 okay ty
Will this case also come for the iPad Pro models?
Did you face trackpad not working issue? I am trying to fix but nothing worked. Do you know anything about it ?
great review!
I like the price. Excellent presentation.🇺🇸🐻
Costs the same as a apple smart connector keyboard, but backlit, and has more features. Apple sometimes do need to learn from Logitech. Good review
They really need make some version of this for the 11" ipad pro
I read somewhere they are making those soon. I imagine they would already be out, but Covid. Hopefully august.
Does it have the 4 speaker cutouts for the the iPad Pro??
Yes it does, but you have to buy the 10.5" iPad Air version which supports it. You can find the link in the description. Here's a video from MacRumors showing the top speaker cutouts. czcams.com/video/-lICtTeBojw/video.html
Thanks you’re the best!!
Really like the idea of having tablet mode instantaneously.
CMD+Spacebar brings you to Spotlight on any keyboard - Mac or iOS. You don't need a dedicated key and you don't need to go to the home screen
Sucks this isn't available for 11" iPad Pro
Yeh I honestly think that Apple created the trackpad keyboard case lineup and asked Logitech which cases to make and told them not to make one for the new iPad Pros because they want their Magic Keyboard to be the sole option. In reality, why would Apple want their to be a Logitech model that would take sales away from their Magic Keyboard that literally is the master plan for the future of the iPad Pro. They want the floating iPad design to become a symbol of Apple, just like they did with the AirPods. -Vadim
It is now
What about lapability?
