Our Verdict

Apple Magic Keyboard 2017

Logitech Combo Touch

The Apple Magic Keyboard 2017 is a versatile keyboard with impressive compatibility that you can connect to almost any device except android devices, while the Logitech Combo Touch is a folio keyboard that's only compatible for use with select iPads. The Apple is much sturdier and connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. It also has slightly better spacing between its keys. On the other hand, the Logitech Combo Touch has white backlighting, while the Apple lacks backlighting altogether.
