Hey guys today I'm here with a review of the Logitech keys to go keyboard and why
I think it's the best keyboard for the iPad pro in 2019. So being an apple guy
and when the iPad pro got announced last year I was so quick to go to the store
and buy it and I always want to buy the official accessories that go with it so
I picked up the Apple pencil 2 and the the smart Keyboard folio, the
official one by Apple. I really like the folio keyboard and yes
it's a little bit weird to type on but I've had both the original iPad pro is
from before the first time second generation and so I've got very used to
how these feel that I'll feel of them and however the old ones you could
paper-mache the keyboard out of the way and use it as a stand whereas you can't
do that with this version of the keyboard and I found that really
annoying what I wanted to move the keyboard out of the way to sketch or
what I like sitting and watching YouTube videos or Netflix at night I don't like
having the keyboard there it's just a personal thing and so I really wanted to
find a way of what you could move the keyboard out the way also I tend to use
my iPad more as for sketching and workflows and more drawing photo editing
filming that kind of thing where I don't actually use the keyboard that often but
I like to have a keyboard with me for the small times when I do have to when
I'm designing posters magazines etc so quick fix that I had for that was
actually I bought a really cheap magnetic keyboard from Amazon and that's
very very similar it's basically an identical copy of the official one which
is the exact same as this except doesn't have the keyboard on it and I really
really like it and it's really thin it's way cleaner than this because it does
kind of built-in keyboard the smart connector and and then I'm tended to use
that but magnetically take off and then add the folio keyboard on what I wanted
to do a typing thing is that actually this in the bag
is my okie and when it's not taxed the iPad and it's a lot bulkier than we
think so that's where I decided to look for a different keyboard and that's
where the keys to go keyboard came in not only a quarter of an inch thick it's
actually way thinner than the Apple keyboard when put together now even with
the keyboard itself the it's still not much bit thicker which is super and
processing as this actually has a built-in battery and because this
doesn't connect to the iPad and smart connector on the back and instead it
uses a micro USB connector to charge and but I've had this now for a couple of
months and I've not needed to charge it once and Logitech on their official
website actually state that it should last three months without charging but
in my use I think it's going to last much longer than up because when I press
the green battery icon it's still say it's still flashing green which means
that it's still got pretty decent charge left on it now as long as you don't get
the connector wet it's also waterproof and splash proof just like the original
the official Apple keyboard which is great and it doesn't have a key keys but
neither does the official Apple keyboard definitely has a learning curve when
typing on this keyboard as the keys are super mushy and and because it's it's
flat on the top is not actually much differentiation between each of the keys
so it does take some getting used to because it's not a full sized keyboard
so the spacing is different than a regular keyboard because it is mushy
it's actually very quiet in fact you probably ought to hear that cause
there's no clicking Keys which is quite good if you're working in a library or
out in the park or you know in a coffee area and you don't want to be be heard
but also a lot of an avid timers actually like to have some static type
of noise feedback or clicky feedback which this definitely doesn't have so if
you are a someone who uses the iPad mainly for typing if your emails or
writing or a blogger I don't think I'd recommend this keyboard now where this
beats the official iPad pro keyboard hands down is with the addition of this
function keys on the top now with using iPad iOS this is perfect because if
you're using a mouse as well these allow you to basically use a lot
of the touch gestures and features that otherwise you have the toxin screen to
use so it has the home and open up all the apps you couldn't got open it has
search has the keyboard switcher for switching to the emoji keyboard or any
additional third-party keyboards that you've them that you've downloaded also
has the on-screen keyboard if you wanted to have that for any reason now the
camera one doesn't actually work anymore as it states on here because the camera
actually changed with the eye of prayer where when you press the B button now
it's a different type of buttons for layout the new iPad but a way around
this is actually you press the camera button and the volume up button does
then take a screenshot a back play and forward still work and the mute volume
downward Bluetooth works and the battery icon allows you to see how much
batteries on it so their top function kids all still work with the iPad OS and
making it a really super handy and I would use these more than I would have
ever used them before under the previous iOS s for the iPad now what I especially
love about this keyboard compared to any other keyboards on the market such as
the bridge or the bigger Logitech slim folio case is the fact that this is just
so thin and light and it's so close to being like the official iPad keyboard
except for the fact that it's detachable so I can actually put the iPad at a
higher unlawful login to so that my postures a lot better for one time I
gain you're sitting at a desk using this and I guess I also it means that if I'm
not actually using this it's so easy to just put into my bag and keep out the
way it doesn't weigh anything so it's really I wouldn't even know if it was in
or in my bag or not really now additionally in the box it also comes
with a little white stand which you can clip to the top of the keyboard and I
think it's meant for the iPhone and not for your iooks it definitely will and
recommend using it for the iPad makes it iPad a little top-heavy
but it's a nice addition in the box and if you're gonna use it with your iPhone
and then great and and talking to using it with other devices other than the
iPad you can also connect this to the Apple TV and so this means that you
could use it for searching for movies on Netflix or for typing in on the App
Store or anything like that and the problem is this happened because it's so
thin I think it's easy to get this last down the back of your sofa and so I
wouldn't really recommend it especially seeing as actually you can just use your
iPhone and step to search if you're in the Apple ecosystem when you go into
search menu it'll pop up on the notification on your iPhone you can just
click that and type so I think that's a lot more convenient than having an
additional keyboard but each their own maybe some people like to have a media
system or something self-awareness could actually be a very viable option for
them so just to keep that in mind that does also work for the Apple TV so like
I said at the start this video I think this is a great device and I do think
it's the best keyboard on the market for the iPad at them England especially for
the price I mean you can get this not for around 40 pounds an office or at the
top end when it's not on offer it's about 55 pound so it's like a quarter of
the price of most of the keyboards on the market so you can't really complain
it flexibility offers it's such a good price so what are the downsides this
keyboard well there are a couple as with any product there's always gonna be some
downsides I would say the learning curve of the keys the fact that they are quite
flat so it's hard to see if you're not used to the keyboard and the mushy keys
are a bit of a an issue for me but not a deal-breaker and the use of micro USB
instead of USB see is a little bit disappointing but this is a four year
old keyboard so I can understand why they were abused and I'm hoping that in
future we might see an update of this keyboard with the USBC connector and but
like I said I've had this now for a couple of months and it's the battery's
absolutely amazing so it's not as if you really need to carry a micro USB cable
with you and if you didn't want to so I hope you enjoyed this little short video
on the review of the Logitech keyboard keys to go keyboard like I said
definitely a choice that I would recommend
