WHY PAY MORE?! Apple Magic Keyboard vs Logitech Folio Touch

If you use an iPad for work or as a laptop replacement - you’re going to need a keyboard. The on-screen keyboard just isn’t good enough for any serious amount of typing. The question shouldn’t be whether to buy a keyboard - it should be which one you’re going to buy. If you’re watching this video my guess is that you’re interested in one or both of these options - so let’s break them down, talk about the good and the bad and see which one of these is the best fit for your iPad.

What’s up, Sagi here and welcome to another Tech Gear Talk. Today we are comparing the Logitech Folio Touch for the iPad Air 4 to the Apple Magic keyboard. I first got the Magic Keyboard, used it for about a month and then Logitech asked if I was interested in reviewing the new Folio Touch. I did partner with Logitech and they sent me this keyboard for my honest opinion

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Logitech Folio Touch and the Apple Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air 4 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about.

Would love to know what you think. Which of these boards would you pick and why? If you’re currently using something else, please share your experience with me. I am grateful in advance 🙏

"Buy it nice or buy it twice" I wish I learned that much earlier in my life!

I just bought both the iPad Air 4 and the Folio Touch and I couldn’t be more pleased. The Magic Keyboard just offered zero protection and is far to expensive.

I think this really sold me on the Logitech Folio Touch keyboard. Great review, I hardly see reviews this great.

Mostly, the modes, the shortcuts, the protection, the trackpad for pressing it hard, and the price make me choose the Logitech case

[ZuluFoxtrot]

Would love if these two had a child and combined the best features of each one. Right now I'm torn between the two because I want the extra protection and usability of the Folio but I want to be able to charge through the keyboard and be able to easily remove my iPad like I would get with the Magic. Damn!

As an Artist and a student! I really recommend logitech. being able to fold the keyboard and have that range in the viewing angles really sold me! I held off on the Magic Keyboard because I was looking for something I could use as an Ipad/drawing device and more of a laptop without losing the protection of the case.

[wernermarinus]

You convinced me: I'm going for the Logitech case. Granted, the Apple keyboard looks a lot more sexier than the Logitech case. But an iPad is a work-on-the-road instrument. It goes in and out of back packs, briefcases and sometimes it just switches from one pair of bare hands to the other. So it deserves proper protection and after watching this video: I just don't see the Apple keyboard providing that protection. It looks hot as hell and it's prettier than the last 10 Miss Universe combined. But... no protection like the Logitech...

I really like the Logitech combo. It’s nice being able to separate the keyboard and still have the awesome kickstand/flap on the back of the iPad.

I believe your channel deserves at least a million subscribers. Your content is great and also you look like “Ross” 😂

I own the Magic Keyboard and use a huge trackpad from Apple just because it's so much fun! Unfortunately, these are very expensive products and I just think that everyone should buy whatever they're the happiest with. I'm physically disabled due to two trucks hitting me several years ago, and the iPad has been my Savior because I can no longer sit at a desk for long periods.

If apple had used the same key layout as Logitech it would have been perfect.

I went for the Logitech case for my 11” iPad Pro and could not be happier with it. The keyboard feels quite good, function keys are super useful, it provides more protection than Apple’s case, keyboard can be folded away when consuming media - a feature that I LOVE, the wrist rests are larger, and while the trackpad used the diving board mechanism it is a much more comfortable shape. Furthermore, I just like the way it looks and feels much better, and the materials seem to age better too.

I have the Logitech one, there is a big disadvantage, it frequently lose compatibility with iPadOS upgrades, with iPadOS 14.0 I lost compatibility, until 14.2 came it worked again.

This is by FAR best review I’ve ever seen on these keyboards! Thanks a lot 😊

[Jaysonluo]

this video honestly feels like having a convo with a friend. Always good

[jacoballen]

something to consider with magic keyboard (despite not having a function row). in day to day use, it puts the ipad closer to your hands while typing, this lets you interact with the autocorrect touch row that lines the bottom of the screen. since most people leave this feature on, it makes it much easier to correct words that could be “slang” or jargon that autocorrect wants to change to something else. just something to consider. would’ve definitely liked a function row, but the track pad makes it simple to reach the control center

Extremely happy that I found your channel while looking for iPad Air 4 accessories. Your video production quality is outstanding. Your voice and on camera presence emanates trustworthiness and expertise. In this video, some of the features you compare and discuss are ones I would not have considered until too late. Thank you.

I am a big guy with big hands, so keyboard size, key size, and space between keys is always something I consider. You covered that for me!

I've joined your Tech Gear Talk community. I look forward to viewing your past content and anything new you share. Aloha!

Before i was pretty sold on the magic keyboard but now, I would definitely go for the Logitech, not only is it cheaper but versatility won for me

[quinlenstevens]

If you’re wondering about the trackpad of the Logitech it’s design is similar to older MacBooks
