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 🙏
Hey, thanks for the video. It's just what I was waiting for.
Is this also for 12.9 inch I pad pro
@@noureenyousaf5358 unfortunately not yet
Is it available for the iPad pro model 2020
Hello! I saw that Amazon has the Magic Keyboard for 200 dollars. Is it worth paying the extra 40 dollars to get it instead of the combo touch?
"Buy it nice or buy it twice" I wish I learned that much earlier in my life!
Me too! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Same
Yessir I’m too broke to buy cheap!
@@gearardlefore that's a great way to look at it
@@SilverfoxJB It only has to convince Mrs. Aver-rage
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.
CONGRATS!! Glad you like it!
How do you like the air? I have the 7th gen iPad and I’m looking to save up for it. Would you say it’s worth it?
@@elgeorge437 I just got it yesterday and it’s a huge step up from my old standard iPad. I love it!
@@elgeorge437 yes it is worth it
Thx for your review u prolly saved me a lot of money
Mostly, the modes, the shortcuts, the protection, the trackpad for pressing it hard, and the price make me choose the Logitech case
The edges of the Logitech case broke to easily for me
I think this really sold me on the Logitech Folio Touch keyboard. Great review, I hardly see reviews this great.
Same +1
Great review of both keyboards. I was looking at the Magic as I liked the additional USB-C and backlit keys.but I’m going to stick with my Smart Keyboard. Light and easy to use. Thanks again!
i liked both ima read/watch more too chose but this was really helpfull
I believe your channel deserves at least a million subscribers. Your content is great and also you look like “Ross” 😂
WE WERE ON A BREAK!!! 😂🤣
Appreciate your support and kind words 🙏
He looks more like Raymonds brother but I agree with the amount of subsribers he deserves.
I’m thinking more if Ross and Robert Barone had a baby.
@Gaming York WE WERE ON A BREAAAAAAAAK!!!1
it was the first thing I thought when I watched this video! I said dang he looks like Ross! lol. awesome video btw! I'm definitely going for the folio touch for more functionality and protection 😊
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!
Logitech Folio had evolved.., into the Logitech Combo…😆
Hey there, {{3}}! Have you considered checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact and versatile tool that offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities. With its efficient keyboard cleaning feature, you can easily remove crumbs and dust from between your keys. Plus, it comes with multiple tubes and high-quality filters for long-lasting performance. Check it out and let me know what you think!
thank you for this nice and insightful review…..Merry Christmas from Greece :)
So glad it was helpful. Appreciate you leaving feedback. Thanks for being part of the channel - Merry Christmas!🎄
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.
Hey do you have any Recs for screen protectors
@@ihavenothingbettertodowith2358 any matte screen protector will do. I have tried HUNdreds of screen protectors for drawing and they all have the rainbow pixels but I love the texture for drawing. don’t waste your money on a paper like… they all lose a lil quality
@@izzydrycow thanks I appreciate the feedback I already got a paper like screen protector might return it
@@ihavenothingbettertodowith2358paper like ruins Apple pencils, would not recommend them.
If apple had used the same key layout as Logitech it would have been perfect.
I think it would help
No 12keys More= 200€ more
Exactly!!!! Iove the apple keyboard. But missing media and funciton key is a PAIN.
and an slot for the apple pencil...
I hate the keyboard. I myself carry a seperate mechanical keyboard.
This video is just what I needed to help me decide. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful. Appreciate you being part of the channel
which one u decide?
I really enjoy your channel! Very informative and detailed! Also, I appreciate your speaking speed. It's not slow, not fast like other TH-camrs, but very comfortable for everyone to hear. Especially for non-native English speakers like me :) I think you will attract people around the world. Subscribed!
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...
Believe me the Logitech keyboard is better by a mile
I have used both and the only benefit the magic keyboard has is the usbc passthrough cable but you will never notice a difference if you haven’t used the magic keyboard
I had the magic keyboard and while it looks really nice real use is absolutely awful. The floating design wastes a lot of vertical space on the keyboard so the your fingers always hit the bottom of the tablet. It also wastes a lot of potential space for the palm rests and touchpad when they could potentially be much bigger. Lastly the material used in the magic keyboard picks up a lot of liquids and oils so it’ll get ugly in a month of usage.
@@pruthavparab1077 passthrough is useful but if you get a good power hub it’ll include another usb c port for charging which replaces the need for it anyway
The Logitech case actually looks pretty sexy in person imo. Simple, clean, and functional.
@@e14ee how is using the folio on your lap? Is it possible or just super awkward?
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
Helpful review. I’m sold on the Logitech option due to the various modes for sketching, viewing content and the shortcut keys. Thank you for this 👍
Thank you for sharing. I had the magic keyboard in my cart and then the website suggested the folio and I didn’t know what to choose! Thanks for your help :)
Perfect review - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Lillian! Appreciate the kind words!
I just love your videos! They are clear, concise, and easy to follow and understand. I just bought the Logitech keyboard through your link based on your review. I didn't know you could use it as a case also, so now I don't have to buy a separate case. Thank You!
That's very kind of you to say Kathy. Glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏
We admire your presentation fantastic voice
This is the first review I watched in this channel, well done, informative, unbiased, lots of real life insights! Thanks!
Thanks man, I'm going with the Logitech plus apple pen. Way more bang for your buck and I honestly like the Folio better
7:58 when you fold back the folio keyboard does it still type from the keyboard when you have it in this position? i can imagine how frustrating that might be if i’m trying to hold it and it keeps typing from my fingers pressing on the keys because of the position that it’s in in your hands
It disables the keyboard
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!
Aloha and thank you so much for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. Welcome to the channel!
Omg this is the best review ever!!! Fullwith information that i need,thank you 👍🏼✨
This video was a huge help. I’m heading off to college in less than a year and needed a keyboard to go along with my ipad. This video made the choice clear as day for a functional keyboard/case. Thanks so much!!!
I am a student who was looking for a hardcopy notebook alternative. I also have long commute hours, so I was in need of a laptop alternative for digital work. The review was very thorough, and I appreciated the sound test. I love the sound of my keyboard. Family doesn't appreciate the clicking sounds, but I prefer it as it makes me feel studious while working. The functions you highlighted sold me on what I was hesitatant to buy. This fit into what I was looking for; a partner or replacement for a laptop when I do not have the luxury of a desk.
GREAT video, thank you! I was leaning more towards getting the magic keyboard, but after watching this detailed review, I have decided that the Logitech is the one that will best suit my needs!
Thank you for such a great review. I've seen a couple of your vids and they're great! Great commentary!
I viewed 3 reviews and yours was the best one! lots of detail and I could tell you know little details like the track pad difference. I am going with the folio based on your video! thanks
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO COMPARISON OF THESE CASES!!! Very detailed and honest. Now I know what to buy. Subbed! 👍🏽
So glad I could help John. Thanks for taking the time to leave such kind feedback 🙏
Thank you so so much for this video! It really helped me to choose between both of them, and I think I got a preference to the Logitech one 😌
Out of all the tech reviews I’ve watched you’ve got the best and most explaining ones!
I’m so glad they are helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thanks, such a thorough review. Much appreciated.
It feels so sincere when you talk. Awesome well thought review my friend!! Definitely keep them coming. Thanks a bunch :)
I really appreciate the kind feedback 🙏🏻
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 such an underrated yet equally important point. Thank you!
I constantly have to restart my iPad Pro because the onscreen keyboard pops up like my Folio isn’t connected even though I still can type on it. Is this part of the compatibility issue or would it be happening with the Magic keyboard too? Magic keyboard is now down to $199 thinking about switching.
@@RickCorp yes its happen for me too, when i updated to ipados 14.4
Up
@@fortunezworld6566 I tried that and I am still having the same issues of the software key popping up and blocking the screen. The keyboard sometimes doesn't work when this happens, but the track pad still does. I am guessing it has to due with the fact I'm switching between using the hardware screen to software screen (I teach math with it and will be writing out solutions and replying to messages from my students). If I don't ever use the software keyboard while the case is attached it seems to work fine, but as soon as I use it once, then I need to restart the iPad just to get it to work normal again. It's just a headache, but I'm not sure if the Apple keyboard would behave any differently.
Very good vid and comparison. Thank you.
Very nice review, thanks!
Very helpful, thank you!
So glad to hear it. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏🏻
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.
Yes, but only in the "combo" version, right?
Hey there! As a tech enthusiast, I highly recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a versatile tool with powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. Plus, it's reasonably priced compared to similar products. Definitely worth checking out for efficient cleaning routines! 🚀
Great comparison! Thoughtful and comprehensive. Definitely helped with my decision!
Fantastic review, covered so much more than basic specs, a real user's guide thanks! Subscribed!
Fantastic review! I have an iPad Air 4 and after about a month and a half of use I’m in the market for a keyboard. I thought I’d still use my MacBook Pro 13-inch (2017) for typing intensive stuff, but the speed and convenience of the iPad Air 4 makes me want to type more with it! The LogiTech looks to be the one for me (I’m not interested in losing my Apple Pencil 👍🏾).
Buy nice or buy twice. That’s pretty catchy so heres a sub
Appreciate the feedback and the support!
i love how in depth this was, thank you for thinking of every detail! I watched a few videos on the same subject and this was the best so far, thank you!
I’m so glad it was helpful. Thank you for the support and for being part of the channel!
Awesome video. It had all the information I needed to know. Thanks
This is by FAR best review I’ve ever seen on these keyboards! Thanks a lot 😊
Wow, thanks! So glad it was helpful! Thanks for being part of the channel!
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.
It's awesome that you've ipad.
That makes me sad 🙁
aw, I hope you recovered well. have a nice life :D
@@dennraeh お幾つですか
@@joshi7434 私わ日本語が少ししか話せません 😅 すみません :)
that was really helpful, thank you!!!
Loved the review. Thanks a lot!
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.
Hey {{3}}! Thanks for sharing your experience with the Logitech Folio Touch. It sounds like a great alternative to the Apple Magic Keyboard. Have you considered investing in the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's an excellent tool for keeping your desktop setup clean and can be a game-changer for maintaining peak performance. Let me know if you need any more information or recommendations on PC building, desktop setups, or notebook upgrades! 😊

It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. With its compact size and efficient features, it could be a great addition to your desktop cleaning routine. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help with!
i finally bought the Logitech Folio Touch for my ipad pro and i love it. thank you for your review.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Just upgraded from slim combo to combo touch on my Air 3rd gen. actually the only choice with trackpad, and it really turned it on improving so much. Thanks for the review helping in making this upgrade
So glad I could help Andrea! Congrats and thanks for being part of the channel!
Extremely helpful video, thank you!
You sold me on the Folio. I've been looking at ways to protect my (future) iPad if I took it off of the Magic Keyboard, but then it would be a big hassle. Having one high quality case that does almost everything I need would be better.
The two main thing I would miss out on for my uses would be the ability the charge while using an external drive (without dongles) as well as typing on my lap. I've used a Surface Pro before and I hated using it as a "lap"top.
this video honestly feels like having a convo with a friend. Always good
That’s such valuable feedback. Appreciate you taking the time 🙏🏻
why is ur profile picture the nazi symbol… wtf
Who’d want to be friends with a Nazi?
Subscribed! Awesome review
Wow! Great video! I was sure I would be getting the Magic Keyboard but your review saved me a lot of regret. I will be getting the folio touch instead. I used the iPad for video and photo editing so the scetching angle and the extra keys are great.
Quick question... I am struggling a bit with finding a good angle for my main camera when doing videos from the office. Can I ask you at what height (how high above the desk) your main camera is positioned? And also what focal length?
Thanks once again. I’m subscribing now 😊
By far the best review I’ve seen. You hit the points that are important. I’m going to get the Logitech as it’s hands down better for typing experience, protection, versatility and price point. The only thing I don’t like, which you didn’t cover, is that the keyboard is flexible.
Thank you for this review. It helps me decide which one is my choice, Logitech is my choice because of the shortcut keys and the bonus - the price difference.
So glad I could help
Super thorough review, very well done.
Great comparison. Still thinking which one to buy. You gave me a great comparison. Thank you!
Wow you sure know your stuff, great review thanks 👍
Hope it was helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Tech gear talk has the best content 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Super appreciate your support 🙏🏻
Thanks for this great comparison!
Was tempted to get the magic keyboard, but this video really puts things in perspective! Thanks for uploading such great content! Just ordered my first IPad Pro 12.9inch for 11/11😆 gonna order the folio touch now too!
Love the commentaries on your videos. You cover each point with great details which helps in deciding which product is the right one based on all of its features. Thank you much for sharing,
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
Based on your preference for durable hardware and efficient cooling solutions, I would recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a versatile device that offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for maintaining a spotless environment in your desktop setup. With its multiple tubes, high-quality filters, and lightweight design, it's a reliable choice for optimizing your cleaning routine. Check it out!
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I totally understand the appeal of finding a reliable and affordable option. Have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a versatile cleaning tool that offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for maintaining a spotless environment on your desktop and beyond. Plus, its reasonable price compared to other tool brands makes it a great choice. Give it a look, and let me know what you think!
Great job explaining both ! Thank you
Dude, you help me SO much! Thank you so much! :D
Thanks I like this video Logic sound perfect for me thanks love your content
✌
So glad I could help! Thanks for being part of the channel!
I love my Magic Keyboard and glad I got it! They’re both great.
The best part is loving the gear you got!
Great review man cheers
Great review and very helpful.
Thanks so much for posting! Just what I was looking for! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You are so welcome! Knew you'd like it.
Hey! One more quick question on this - how easy is the Logitech keyboard to remove from the iPad? Is it a really tight fit or will it be easy to take on and off as required? ☺️
@@TechGearTalk :) ^^
It's a pretty tight fit. You're definitely not taking it out with one hand. You have to peel off one corner, then another.
@@TechGearTalk awesome. Thank you! :)
The cloth material on the Logitech was a turnoff for me but to be honest the soft rubbery material on the Magic Keyboard can’t be effectively cleaned either. But I was able to skin the Magic Keyboard which is great for people who like to personalize their gear.
Also, the glass trackpad on the MK is soooo premium.
Wow! I learned a lot, Thank you so much 👍
This was very helpful! Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Great review 👌 Actually I bought the third option for my Air 4 - the Zagg Pro Keys, because I dont really need a trackpad and it has advantages from this two - easy magnetic detachable keyboard and still full iPad protection due to 2in1 case.
Sir, you make well informed videos. That alone made me hit the subscribe button!
This is such a good, thorough review! It really changed my mind on my decision! TY!
Great review! You're detailed and thorough!
I got a deal for $250 on Amazon for the 12.9 magic keyboard so I went with that. I need it to be lapable for my use, I also have a stand for media consumption
Nice. Do you know if the deal is still there?
You have changed my mind to the Logitech after this. Deciding factor was being able to adjust the screen to use the pencil or read and the added protection. Thank you!
You're welcome Alexandra - glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel.
Super helpful and detailed thank you!
Thank God I watched your review, now I can chose which one is really the best for me, and the way you speek is really understanding so thank you and God Bless!❤️
Great review. Thanks for the very in-depth analysis and observations. How does the Folio perform with the flap on the back when using it on your lap? It feels like then Apple Magic Keyboard would have an edge on performance there.
Very deep analysis 💯 good content as always.💯 Personally I like to use an external bluetooth keyboard with my ipad because it's too comfortable 😋.
Appreciate your constant support and you sharing your experience.
What a great review! Super complete and clear, loved the keys sound piece. Just order the Folio.
Glad it was helpful Antonio. Appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Very very helpful review ! Great presentation as well! Thank you!
good review i went for folio touch and love it great value for money
So glad you like it Gavin! Appreciate the feedback!
Is this compatible with iPad air 2nd gen?
I got my magic keyboard, iPad Pro 2020 and the Apple Pencil few months ago and there is nothing to complain about in my opinion 😄
👌🏽💕exactly
Very helpful. Thank you.
Such a thorough and helpful review thank you. You have a lovely manner when explaining it all. One question I had is can you actually use the Logitech case on your lap because of the kickboard at the back and if so how did you find using it on your lap? Thank you
Thanks Carolyn - appreciate the kind words. I don't love using either on my lap. The MK definitely takes up less space and it "fits" better, but it's top-heavy. The Logitech requires more space so you sometimes have to pull it closer to your torso. Neither is as good as a laptop. I know it's not a great answer, I'm just sharing my experience.
Yay thank you for this video i decided to buy the logi 😁 because it's protected all sides and ofcourse the price 👌
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel
Great review. I haven't purchased an iPad yet and am doing research. I was wondering about the Magic Keyboard and wasn't familiar with other options yet. This was timely and informative. After watching this, the Folio Touch would be the one I would lean toward. I liked the different modes like reading and drawing and typing. The benefits of the Magic Keyboard weren't strong enough to go that direction. And yay, save money! Love that part. Thanks again! Looking forward to watching more videos!
Nice review. I will definitely get a Folio Touch for my second Pro. Good details.
Thank you for doing this video! This changed my mind about the magic keyboard, and the folio definitely is better for what I need I’m practice and on a daily basis!
Logitech for functionality and protection also price. Thanks for a great review. Very useful.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate you being part of the channel!
If you’re wondering about the trackpad of the Logitech it’s design is similar to older MacBooks
Correct - thank you for contributing!
Is that a good or bad thing?
Thanks and really appreciate you for making this comparison video. I think I will go with the logi!
Thank you very much. This video helped to decide which one to take.
Glad I could help!
