Honestly, the Logitech folio touch is better for how I use my iPad (laptop mode mostly, tablet in car and bed, and note taking/email at work), but I don’t regret getting the magic keyboard at all. Remember everyone, there will always be something better. Be happy with what you have, its all you need!

The Folio Touch is a much better value than the Magic Keyboard. You get more features & save $140.

Hey max tech... this is how you do it.. very good review...

Great alternative to the magic keyboard! I’ve been using the MK for a few weeks now and think MK is far superior and worth the price premium for the following reasons:

- Non kickstand design means you can use on most surfaces just like a regular laptop

- Ipad being held magnetically is just convenient when you want to remove the ipad and hold and use it in all its glory. Plus its super cool, the floating design

- Better keyboard typing experience (well most probably since using mac pro keyboard technology)

- Pass through charging, now the usbc port can be used for other stuffs like connecting to external display, thumbdrive etc. Also charge cable looks very neat using the pass through port of magic keyboard.

- Nice and slim, looks great when folded

- Don’t need all the extra edge protection, I’m putting it in my bag anyways

- Great hinge tension, feels better having a keyboard that is not so flimsy on uneven surfaces and folds away very nicely

- material is underrated. Love it, I don’t think everyone will enjoy the semi denim design on the logitech

- Absence of function row is overstated. As a mac user, I’ve not missed it much at all as I can use multitouch as well as control centre (the only buttons I missed are the keyboard backlight up and down, no biggie)

One thing I like about the logitech is the pencil loop. For the MK when you put it in a bag sometimes the pencil would drop off somewhere in the bag

Overall though its a very decent alternative as it uses the smart connectors instead of bluetooth, and uses power from the iPad to drive it, ao much better than all the other choices.

Good luck for those deciding on which to buy!

Great Review, as always... I’m glad I got my Magic Keyboard for my 2020 12.9 and would have made the same decision today (plus they don’t make one for the 12.9).. Thanks, Stay Safe and be well..

[leondeiak]

Haha, man, you have such a sweet smile)) Thanks for the review. Is it possible to drag elements by 3 fingers like on mac trackpads?

[KiIlabeez]

YES! Thank you! HUGE HUGE difference to your review to many others. You went over viewing angles.... Well done!!

[radioactivecat]

Excellent comparison. I didn’t really start using my Apple keyboard/case until COVID and I was increasingly using it during videos and chats to type and share, I found the Apple keyboard case frustrating to type on, especially in a dimmer area as I work on video so my office is a little bit dark and not having backlit in that environment made me even more frustrated. I wasn’t 100% sold on the magic keyboard because of the price and the lack of function keys and when I saw the logitech had that and it also protected the Apple Pencil, I was sold. I decided not to get the trackpad because I really didn’t use it but I think this is been absolutely great for me.

This was an excellent comparison!! Great job!

Great video but is so upsetting how no one ever goes over suitability of the case for students/artists. I just wanna know how strong the hinge is, like will it maintain its angle when I'm resting my palm on the screen while writing?

[Scoopyyy]

Can you share your lock screen wallpaper from the iPad in the Magic Keyboard case? I love that

[fpalitang]

Do you know if they’re releasing one for the 12.9?

[TheJamSpace]

Hey buddy, long time viewer here lol :) Man, I can’t believe apple didn’t design the magic keyboard to have a solution for the pencil. I know it has been an issue for you Nando.. Prince.. 93 :) Have you found any 3rd party solutions for stowing the pencil along with the magic keyboard yet? I’m typing this on my Logitech ‘keys to go’ which I tuck into a pocket that is on my 3rd party iPad Pro 12.9 2020 folio case. It works fine to tuck this small keyboard into the pocket and there is an elastic slot for my Apple Pencil, but the typing experience is not the greatest and of course I have to charge the keyboard and all that. I will likely upgrade to the Magic Keyboard, but I guess at this point I’m still waiting to see if perhaps Logitech has something better for the 12.9 in store. Thanks for all your videos Fernando. You are a genuine and real YouTube tech guy and it’s appreciated. Don’t completely sell out to PaperLike etc haha. Peace!

Excelente video, gracias Fernando, me ayudó mucho para tomar la decisión sobre cuál comprar.

[velsnow]

Really enjoyed the video. I think you did well at being fair and balanced. Thanks!

[abdussaboor]

4:00 I think it’s actually just haptic feedback whenever we press down. Cuz on my MacBook when I press down on the trackpad when it is powered off, I don’t get any click sensation. It’s super neat

[seljoypro]

My biggest hangup with the magic keyboard is the lack of stability of the Apple Pencil. When you grab the whole case, you have to make sure you don’t grab the side with the pencil. It can fall out while carrying it. Laying it on a car seat also dislodges the pencil. I’m a little mad at apple for missing that. They should have added some kind of flap or sleeve to secure the pencil. Especially for $350.
