I can get a mint one for 80

I know it's a great deal compared to retail but IS IT WORTH IT haha

I already have keys to go and don't use it much but I really liked ASK despite shortcomings when I had a 12.9 briefly

Hmm what do you think? I have pencil and don't always use it but dang glad I have it

Debating completing the set,
 
Have you personally tested one? It has a textured appeal with a carpet like fabric on it. If you have an opportunity, I would demo it in store first before you buy it. It's not for everyone and the reviews are sub par with issues with connectivity and the fabric separating or not sitting flush on the table.

I think it's nice, but I have seen my fair share of complaints on it.

oh well even if so, $80 shipped vs $130+tax is quite a leap in pricing

couldn't find any create 9.7 deals from searching on eBay real quick

that keyboard does look interesting tho wasn't aware it existed thx!
 
The create 9.7 looks way better than 12.9 Create, no?

^ that is a great deal! As of now it's still 130 on Amazon and Amazon resellers

I use a web browser extension to notify me when the price of a specific item on amazon drops to a certain price. It's not always $90 but when it did I hopped on it.

I too have both and I find the ASK to be far superior to the Keys-to-Go. I find that I have to press harder on the K2G keyboard to register a keypress. It's a nice keyboard, but I much prefer the ASK.

I use the ASK with my 12.9 iPad Pro and the K2G with my Mini 4. Those combinations work well.

I think the OP was referring to the Logitech Create not keys to go unless I'm missing something

I like it!

Slim package, can even actually use it as a tablet in portrait mode with it still on, impressive

Way slimmer overall package than 12.9 and ASK that I tried briefly earlier last year,
(Obviously, but enough with 9.7 to be a practical Portable solution)
