The Logitech Combo Touch is a folio keyboard with a detachable iPad case. While we purchased the version designed for the 11-inch iPad Pro, it's also available for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the fourth-generation iPad Air. 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 storage space for an Apple Pencil (gen 2).

Our Verdict

0.0
Gaming 

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.

Pros
  • Feels well-built.
Cons
  • Only works with specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models.
  • No customization software.
  • No macro-programmable keys.
0.0
Office 

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.

Pros
  • Feels well-built.
  • Decent ergonomics; very low profile prevents wrist fatigue.
Cons
  • Only works with specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models.
  • No customization software.
0.0
Mobile/Tablet 

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.

0.0
Programming 

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.

Pros
  • Feels well-built.
Cons
  • Only works with specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models.
  • No customization software.
  • No macro-programmable keys.
  • No wireless connectivity.
0.0
Entertainment / HTPC 

The Logitech Combo Touch is bad for use with a home theater PC setup, but it isn't designed for this use as it only connects to select iPad Pro or iPad Air models.

Pros
  • Feels well-built.
Cons
  • Only works with specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models.
  • No customization software.
  • No wireless connectivity.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Logitech Combo Touch we tested is for the iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd gen) in the Oxford Gray color scheme. Logitech also offers variants for the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th gen) and fourth-generation iPad Air, also in Oxford Gray. There's a Sand color variant available, but only for the 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro. While the dimensions will differ, we expect our results to apply to all variants. You can see the label for our unit here.

    There's a separate Logitech product, also called the Logitech Combo Touch, available in a Graphite color scheme for the iPad (7th, 8th, 9th gen), iPad Air (3rd gen), and iPad Pro 10.5-inch. While it's similar, we consider it a different product, so our test results don't apply.

    Unfortunately, there isn't a variant of the Logitech Combo Touch that's compatible with the Apple iPad Pro (M4) models. That said, Logitech does have another separate product called the Logitech Combo Touch For iPad Pro which does have a variant for 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro (M4) models. If you're interested in a keyboard designed exclusively for the Apple iPad Pro (M4), check out the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4 and M5).

    Popular Keyboard Comparisons

    The Logitech Combo Touch is a combination of a keyboard and case designed for specific iPad Pro or iPad Air models. It's a low-profile model very similar to the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad 2021, but it's typically available at a lower price point. It's nearly identical to the Logitech Folio Touch, but the keyboard on the Combo Touch is detachable from its case and has a slightly larger trackpad. Unfortunately, this keyboard has a singular purpose and isn't compatible with any devices other than the iPad or iPad Air model it's designed for.

    For other picks, see our recommendations for the best keyboards, the best wireless keyboards, and the best keyboards for iPad.

    Logitech Folio Touch

    Track

    The Logitech Combo Touch and the Logitech Folio Touch are very similar low-profile folio keyboards designed for select iPad models. Both keyboards have variants available for various generations of the 11-inch iPad Pro and the fourth-generation iPad Air. However, only the Combo Touch has an additional variant for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th gen.) The Combo Touch also has several features the Folio Touch lacks, including a kickstand, a slightly larger trackpad, and a keyboard that's detachable from its case.

    Logitech Flip Folio

    Track

    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.

    Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad 2021

    Track

    The Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad 2021 and the Logitech Combo Touch are both low-profile folio keyboards with cases designed for use with certain iPad models. Both keyboards have variants available for the 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the 4th-generation iPad Air, but the Apple has variants for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, while the Logitech only has a variant for the 5th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro. That said, the Apple feels sturdier and has better backlighting with individually-lit keys. It also has a somewhat better typing quality as its keys feel lighter and require less force to operate. On the other hand, the Logitech Combo Touch has a shortcut/media hotkey row the Apple keyboard lacks.

    ZAGG Pro Keys

    Track

    The ZAGG Pro Keys and the Logitech Combo Touch are similar folio keyboards with low-profile scissor switches made for iPads. However, the ZAGG is much more versatile. The ZAGG connects wirelessly and can pair up to two devices over Bluetooth. It needs a USB-C charging cable to charge, though some versions don't come with one. It also has multicolored backlighting, while the Logitech only has white backlighting. On the other hand, The Logitech is only compatible with specific iPad models and relies on them for power.
