Our Verdict

Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4)

Logitech Keys-To-Go 2

The Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 and the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4) are low-profile keyboards with folio covers. The Logitech is a standalone, wireless model powered with coin cell batteries that's compatible with all major computer and mobile operating systems, including all current versions of iPad. On the other hand, Apple is exclusively compatible with iPad (M4) models. It also has a trackpad, backlighting, and a hinge that acts as a stand for your iPad. It doesn't connect wirelessly but connects with Smart Connector pins, using your iPad for power.
