The Logitech Combo Touch is a folio keyboard with a detachable iPad case. We purchased the version designed for the 11-inch iPad Pro, but other versions are available for select iPad Pro and iPad Air models. See the Differences Between Variants section for more details. All versions connect to their intended devices with a Smart Connector, and it draws power directly from the iPad, so you don't have to worry about charging the keyboard separately. Unfortunately, it's incompatible with other devices. Overall, this keyboard feels well-built and comfortable to type on, thanks to a low-profile design. It also has a trackpad, white backlighting, and an attachment point for an Apple Pencil (gen 2).
Our Verdict
The Logitech Combo Touch is a bad keyboard for gaming. It's not designed for this use, and you can only connect it to select iPad Pro or iPad Air models. It lacks customization software, none of its keys are macro-programmable, and its scissor switch keys are heavy to press. That said, it feels well-built and has decent ergonomics due to its very low profile.
- Feels well-built.
- Only works with specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models.
- No customization software.
- No macro-programmable keys.
The Logitech Combo Touch is adequate for office use if you use your iPad for work. It feels well-built and has a very low profile that makes typing comfortable, even for long periods. Its scissor switches are also very quiet, making this keyboard a good option for noise-sensitive offices. Unfortunately, there isn't much space between keys which might cause you to make more typos or type more slowly while you get used to it.
- Feels well-built.
- Decent ergonomics; very low profile prevents wrist fatigue.
- Only works with specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models.
- No customization software.
The Logitech Combo Touch is poor for mobile use as you can only connect it with your iPad Pro or iPad Air, and it's unusable with other mobile devices or tablets. That said, when used with a corresponding iPad, it serves as both a keyboard and protective case. It also feels well-built, and when closed, it's very portable as it's only slightly thicker than your iPad normally is, resulting in a remarkably small package overall with an acceptable weight.
The Logitech Combo Touch is bad for programming. It only works with iPadOS, and you can't connect to other devices. It also lacks customization software and macro-programmable keys. On the other hand, it feels well-built and has white backlighting if you prefer working in lower-light environments. Also, despite lacking incline settings or an included wrist rest, it has decent overall ergonomics due to its low-profile design. It's comfortable to type on for long periods without the risk of wrist fatigue.
- Feels well-built.
- Only works with specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models.
- No customization software.
- No macro-programmable keys.
- No wireless connectivity.

The Logitech Combo Touch and the Logitech Flip Folio fill a similar space, but offer some distinctive characteristics. The Combo Touch benefits from a better overall build quality and the inclusion of a trackpad and backlighting. However, since it connects through Apple's Smart Connector, it only works with the compatible iPad models. The Flip Folio, on the other hand, delivers a much more versatile experience, thanks to Bluetooth connectivity and multi-device pairing. The keyboard portion is also detachable from the case, which gives you some flexibility.
