Our Verdict

Logitech Folio Touch

Keychron K3 (Version 2)

The Logitech Folio Touch and the Keychron K3 (Version 2) are two wireless compact keyboards, but they're meant for different usages. The Logitech Folio Touch only connects with iPad Pro and can't be used with any other device. It's not mechanical and uses scissor switches that feel light to type on. On the other hand, the Keychron connects wirelessly using Bluetooth to up to three devices, and it's mostly compatible with all operating systems, though some function keys may not work. Also, it has mechanical switches that are hot-swappable, so you can select which switch you'd like.
