Apple has just announced an update powered by the M1 for iPad Pro, and Logitech has followed a new keyboard and trackpad accessory for each generation of 11-inch and 12.9-inch models. Combo Touch is a case with a Microsoft Surface-style footrest and a removable backlit keyboard with trackpad. Connects via the iPad Pro’s smart connector.
Logitech has already launched a similar Combo Touch keyboard for 10.2-inch and 10.5-inch iPads, as well as a Folio Touch for 11-inch iPad Pro and 10.9-inch iPad Air. The Folio Touch keyboard is not removable, and its trackpad is slightly smaller than the new Combo Touch, but otherwise it is a comparable product.

It’s the first time Logitech has offered a 12.9-inch iPad Pro keyboard / trackpad option, but it’s significantly cheaper than Apple’s Magic keyboard. The 11-inch model is $ 199.99, and the 12.9-inch model is $ 229.99 compared to $ 299 and $ 349 that Apple charges, which means you can save about $ 100 or more at sticker prices.
You may also prefer the Logitech design. It’s not as sleek as the Magic keyboard, but the case will provide better protection for the iPad, the detachability and support offer an extra degree of versatility, and the keyboard has a useful functional line. The 11-inch model is available for pre-order now, while the 12.9-inch version is listed as “coming soon.”
