iPad Pro Magic Keyboard or Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard for 12.9?

[Kyle76]

The Magic Keyboard is very nice, but the Combo Touch has some advantages, like function keys, better side and end protection and a detachable keyboard for easier tablet use. It also seems like an easier carry and is $142 cheaper than the MK. The MK’s footprint looks like a clear winner. Another big giveup is the separate power port on the MK, but that might be solved through a powered hub. Any other thoughts or considerations?

Funny I was looking into this, also brydge is about to release one- the 12.9” pro max+ Looks good too.

Wonder why Brydge is still using Bluetooth? Not authorized for the smart connector?

maybe not apple to apple comparison, but if you buy a Toyota car/truck and you want aftermarket performance parts, do you go with TRD brand or aftermarket brands? it's an easy decision for me, i'd go with Magic keyboard

Until I hit the end I read this expecting the opposite response as I'd go with aftermarket parts.

I was gong to go Bridge as I like it's style a bit more but opted for the Combo Touch as the use of the apple connector is a major tiebreaker as Bluetooth is the devil.

I like he built quality and style of the Magic Keyboard I just don't like using it, and the lack of shortcut keys is a big downer.

No it's just a waiting game as I still have no idea when my combo touch will ship.

I’m waiting for reviews of the 12.9” Combo Touch. But I like the idea to have the iPad protected when using it without a keyboard.

Here’s a short review:

iPad Pro 2021 Review: Future on Standby

In recent years, the narrative surrounding the iPad platform, and particularly its more advanced Pro line, has largely focused on the great divide between the iPad’s hardware and software. It’s a story we’ve had to grapple with for a while now: it was clear with the original iPad Pro in 2015...

Have you considered buying that new ZAGG case with the keyboard and trackpad?
