The Logitech Folio Touch is an okay office keyboard. It's designed to be used with an 11-inch iPad Pro or the fourth-generation iPad Air, depending on which variant you get. It connects directly to the iPad via a Smart Connector, so you don't have to charge it, but that means it can't connect to any other device. It has white backlighting that helps if you work in a dark environment, and there's a row of shortcut keys, such as a search button, lock key, and media keys. It offers an okay typing quality, but its compact size may take some time to get used to. It also has a trackpad that you can use with your iPad.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The Logitech Folio Touch isn't as versatile as other iPad keyboards we've tested because it connects directly to the iPad and not via Bluetooth. Still, if you have an 11-inch iPad Pro or a fourth-generation iPad Air, it delivers decent overall performance for what it's designed for. However, there are less costly options that you can use with other devices, such as the Brydge Pro. Also see our recommendations for the best keyboards for iPad, the best wireless keyboards, and the best keyboards.
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.
The Brydge Pro is much better than the Logitech Folio Touch. The Brydge feels better-built, has much better typing quality, and thanks to its Bluetooth support, it can connect to any other device. On the other hand, the Logitech doesn't have a battery, so you don't need to worry about charging it.
The Fintie Soft TPU Keyboard Case For iPad 7th Gen is a bit better than the Logitech Folio Touch, but they're meant to be used with different iPads. The Fintie connects via Bluetooth and is compatible with most common operating systems. However, the Logitech has a better typing quality, feels better-built, and has backlighting.
The Apple Magic Keyboard 2017 is better than the Logitech Folio Touch. The Apple connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, and you can use it with any Apple operating system, like macOS and iOS. It also has a much better typing experience, much better build quality, and it's lighter. On the other hand, the Logitech is designed only for use with the 11-inch iPad Pro. It has no wireless connectivity options, but it has backlighting, a feature the Apple keyboard lacks.
