Our Verdict
Logitech G512 Special Edition
ZAGG Pro Keys
The ZAGG Pro Keys and the Logitech G512 Special Edition are designed for different uses. If you're looking for a folio case keyboard to use with your iPad, the ZAGG is a better choice. It's compact and slim, making it easy to carry around with you, and you can use it via Bluetooth only. On the other hand, if you're looking for a full-size mechanical gaming keyboard, the Logitech is exactly that. It's wired, so you can only use it with the computer it's connected to.
