Yes, arrow keys are very important unless you want to waste your time moving you hand to the touch screen or using a mouse. While you type, arrow keys are keys to save you time.

All developers & ITs use the arrow keys, sometime in combination to other key to rapidly get to the star/end of a line or paragraph etc (also autocomplete on linux btw).. There isn't probably a day passing by without using it.

I use it a lot when doing reports in excel.

If Logitech made Thai for the 12.9 I would’ve gotten it. I dropped my iPad in the apple keyboard case and cracked my screen. I’d take a case case over a keyboard any day.

Just purchased the Logitech, and 1 week later I’m impressed. I had the Brydge Pro, very disappointed with the “Hing” that held my 11” pro. The Magic keyboard, I returned it within a day, not having the top row of smart keys was a deal breaker for me. Not to mention the Hefty Price tag.

I dropped my iPad Pro 10.5 in, it landed on it’s corner. On the side walk no less. Fortunately I hade a Komo rubber case. It totally wraps the iPad. No damage to the iPad. Apple’s cases are scant and offer little protection.

[@earlmasuda3198]

I do use the arrow keys in “Numbers,” which is Apple’s version of “Excel.” Regarding the kickstand moving back as you tap the screen, I purchased some very inexpensive ‘foam pads’ at a hardware store that I placed on the edge of the kickstand, eliminating the scooting back. The number one reason I like the Logitech Folio Touch is the protection of the iPad. I want something that will protect my expensive iPad in case I drop it. I do not want to take the iPad in and out of the case. I want to always keep it in the case. I also really like that you can keep the iPad in its case when you use the different modes: typing, sketching, book and viewing. The third thing I really like are the two different ways to place the Apple Pencil in the holder. I want a case that’s going to hold my expensive Apple Pencil without fear that it’s going to drop.

[@PhilipWarda]

Thanks for this video, you reaffirmed that I was happy to spend more for the magic. Really loving the experience thus far ♥️

[@nathansmiroldo3662]

Reason I got the Logitech is one: I super appreciate the fact that it has function keys. Two: I actually need the greater viewing angles that the Logitech offers since I do a lot of writing/drawing with the Apple Pencil.

[@CAG2]

Arrow keys you say? Maybe you should try these handy keyboard shortcuts: Typing: (Replace CTRL with CMD) CTRL + Left/Right CTRL + SHIFT + Left/Right Browser: (replace ALT with CMD) ALT + Left ALT + RIGHT And so many more.

[@1BSDjunkie]

I have used an Apple Magic Keyboard with my 2017 iPad Pro. It stopped working after a year as I mostly use my iPad while sitting on a couch or chair. Switched to the Logitech keyboard (still using it now) and use it on the couch or recliner all the time. When sitting, I use a pillow on my lap when using to get the best view and avoid tilting my head at a greater downward angle.

[@jayardorado8757]

Im excited for my Logitech Combo touch for iPad Air 3.

[@dsummerssummers15]

When I went to get my iPad I was ready to purchase the smart keyboard folio that is until I heard about the Logitech Folio Touch a few hours earlier. The magic keyboard wasn’t an option for me because of the price but I decided to go with the Logitech Folio Touch case. Yeah the magic keyboard is cool and has slightly better features and all of that but I favor functionality over aesthetics. I knew if I got the magic keyboard I would have to spend extra to get the protection I wanted to protect the sides of my iPad. With the Folio Touch I don’t have to worry about being afraid that my iPad is going to to get damaged. Another huge plus and deciding factor for me was the function row of keys, as mentioned. That’s one of the best things about this case. I’ve never used the magic keyboard before and I’ve never owned a macbook so I have nothing to compare the trackpad experience to other than my 15.6” Lenovo Yoga laptop. I think it’s amazing that I can get a feel for the trackpad gestures that apple provides without spending an arm and a leg for it. I’m very happy and content with my purchase. Best $160 ever spent!!

[@TonyMilanoOfficial]

The first sentence is where all time travelers slip up.

[@jeffhale1189]

I appreciate the helpful comparison . I am leaning towards the Magic keyboard for my IPad. Blessings on your day.

[@jiddyification]

I’m a total keyboard shortcuts person, and the arrow plus option or cmd key move you to ends of lines/words/paragraphs etc. use them all the time!

[@Jungkith]

If Logitech made a more premium and sturdy folio touch i might buy it over the magic keyboard

[@saxophonicmusician]

I use the Logitech folio keyboard for my I-pad (8th gen not the pro version) and I was very surprised on how the keyboard is so responsive and actually has a backlit keyboard. I used to have a old logitech keyboard for my first gen I-pad and found that the keyboard was so laggy and had no backlit on the keys. I would recommend the Logitech and save some money!

[@johnw9177]

I have the 12.9 iPad, so the cost of the Magic Keyboard was more than 299, and it’s still worth it. Expensive? It hurt for a minute, but not anymore! I believe in getting what I want. This magic keyboard is pretty awesome and I haven’t regretted the purchase. Other keyboards just don’t cut it. Nothing out there does what the Magic Keyboard does or how it does it. I do wish there was a storage for the pencil on the back. Almost lost my pencil the first day. But, I purchased a pencil sling from amazon for $10. It solves the problem. I hate that kickstand on other keyboards. Did I mention with the 12.9, it’s a bigger keyboard? I couldn’t imagine typing on a 11 inch.

[@StumpkillerCP]

I chose the Logitech Foilo for my iPad Air 4. Happy I did. I use my pad outdoors and the case is beefy. I use the arrow keys to "wake up" the display when I'm not sure it is still listening. (On a very rural dish ISP). I'm 6'2" and the "laptop" is not a problem. Fits my legs fine.

[@msp6469]

I bought the Smart Keyboard with an iblaison cover which protects and keeps the keyboard attached to the iPad. I travel on the tube everyday and need to switch easily between touch screen and typing. I love the combination and feel my iPad is safe when I’m stood up on a busy tube

[@GuruishMike]

I bought a new M2 iPad Pro. I thought about the Magic Keyboard, but the price, and the lack of protection swayed me toward the Logitech Combo Touch. I'm pretty happy with it.

[@geebee44]

I brought the Apple keyboard and about to exchange it for the Logitech. The price tag is simply ridiculous for how limited the device is. You can't can right-click and for how convenient the USB C placement it's not like it doubles as a hub. I can use that extra 150% on something else

[@Piketom1]

I have the Logitech touch folio for the iPad Air 3. It is a great case and makes the iPad really good for doing basic computing. I am very happy to save several hundred dollars over the iPad Pro to get the air which is a great complementary device to a Mac.

[@swish6143]

The lap test is important, would have loved the price of the logitech though.

[@lisadefries6718]

Agreed it’s an important detail

[@dank8489]

I had the iPad Pro, bought the new MacBook Pro and instead of getting an upgraded graphics card I spent the money on a magic keyboard. It’s lovely and I can use both next to each other!

[@jayhughes1957]

I use the arrow keys almost daily.... especially in office apps (MS Word, MS Excel, Power Point, etc) and sometimes to scroll on the web, or navigate in the file explorer.

[@bplain80]

that extra Usb-C is clutch though. I make music on my ipad and I have to use the usb-c for the headphones (bluetooth has latency). Having that extra usb-c lets me keep it powered up

[@sorenmn6799]

Hey thanks for the review. I totally thought the Logitech was the winner but when you mentioned the wobble, okay, that’s a total deal breaker for me. Might be considering the Magic Keyboard in the end.

[@DanBires]

There are actually other iPad keyboard cases out there right now. Plus most people use the iPad Pro that are in graphic design nd of coarse apple always fails in some area like the pencil. No real way to hide the pencil with their keyboard from it getting ripped off. There are better cases out there for sure.

[@martinroskilly9994]

I’m being completely honest here; the Logitech really surprised me - from the cons you pointed out in your vid just doesn’t correspond with my experience. Keys, trackpad/strolling, positioning the case on my lap all feels great. Protection and robustness is outstanding. Best investment I’ve made in a longtime and with Logitechs firmware update app for the keyboard was the icing on the cake. I’ve worked on Mac for nearly 25 years so Great job Logitech, very impressive product. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rosamariarodriguez6960]

I once spilt a lot of soda on the magic keyboard rinsed it under the faucet . Let it dry . Didn’t damage it at all.

[@omiddabir]

Absolutely agree with your ranking!

[@kamicokrolock]

Yes I use the arrow keys. But mostly on KZbin, lol. Up and down arrows will adjust the volume (this can actually be better than using system volume) and forward and backward will jump the video forward and backwards.

I use arrow keys every day at work and never at home. Some of our programs at work are ancient and arrow keys are a necessity. TAB, numbers, and arrows are pretty much all I use at work along with the occasional (every 5 minutes) swearing at the computer.

[@Xxagger]

I got the Logitech combo touch keyboard and its pretty good for the price of it and for the latest generation standard and its so clean and works so good with smart connectors

[@CassySida]

The main place I use the arrow keys is when I'm typing, whether it's to go back and for between words with the alt + arrow or whether it's to go back because I wrote an incorrect letter or going up and down lines

[@sg2664]

Great video as always. I use the arrow keys (and shift) to highlight text. For smaller sections of text, I often find it faster and more precise than doing it with the trackpad. Question: The 12.9 Ipad + magic keyboard is a bit odd on the lap, as the IPAD weight keeps pulling the device away from you, forcing you to grab the keyboard to stabilize it. Does the 11” offer better lap balance - since the 11” is lighter than the 12.9” but the magic keyboards are apparently similar weight. Would be great to get your thoughts. Thanks.

[@k-krm]

huh! interesting! Arrow keys just for flipping pages and also cmd+ to get into end or beginning of the text I'm typing...

[@vitorsantos2495]

I use the arrow keys as media control for KZbin and to move the cursor when I'm typing

[@pawstalk]

Thanks SO much for this. You got me with the clip of you using the Logitech on your lap. I'm buying a new iPad but the keyboard is going to be the thing. I wrote my whole first book lying in bed on my Anker keyboard. Whatever I get HAS to work well on my lap/stomach while laying down. Don't care much about the trackpad, but backlighting and good keyboard feel are a must, as well. I might have made a horrible mistake with the Logitech if not for watching this *entire* video. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you. :)

[@pawstalk]

Oh, and BTW, yes. I DO use the arrow keys. :) Mostly when I'm writing in Schrivner or emails and it's too hard to get the curser in between words or letters precisely with my finger touching the screen.

[@shadow.overland]

[@Crasho327]

I hadn't thought about the arrow keys until you mentioned it. I think the last time I used them was to page down on my Air. otherwise I haven't used them in a very long time since I replaced the Air with the iPad Air 4

[@JeremyDeBose]

I've mostly used the arrow keys in Affinity Photo. Making infographics for my real estate, easiest way to move things in increments. Never use them otherwise 😂. I'll likely get a Logitech one if they make the 12.9 but I'd prefer the Magic. I just can't see myself buying it.

[@swadeshiVyakti]

I use the arrow keys a lot while coding or writing a document to use select shortcuts combined with other keys like shift/ctrl.

[@FearFanatic86]

The thing I use arrow keys most for is skipping sections in KZbin videos instead of tapping the screen haha…and then word documents when I land in the wrong place

[@evessketchbook]

As soon as you mentioned the difficulty typing on your lap, my mind was instantly made up. Lol I type on my lap ALL the time. Plus the magic keyboard just has so many more features that sound better. The only thing I think logitek has going for it is the case and the function keys. Magic keyboard just sounds better all around.

[@andrewb293]

Watched loads of videos before choosing the Logitech, mostly down to cost. None explained how much space it would need and doesn’t work well, if at all on a lap. None explained just how heavy it makes the iPad. I had it two days before sending it back. it just wasn’t going to work for me and spoiled the ipad experience. I would constantly need to take the iPad out of the case. I have waited 6 months before thinking agin and now it’s got to be the magic Keyboard. Nice video.

[@howardeastin1474]

I do use the arrow keys, mostly when I mis type. The other time I find myself using the arrow keys is when I am tracking back and forth or seeking when watching KZbin. Second, what I ended up going with is the Magic Keyboard. I do wish the Magic Keyboard did have function keys, or at least put the function row shortcut on the keyboard to show up on screen.

[@ajsconk1]

I’m waiting to upgrade my iPad Pro until they make a keyboard with pass through power and function keys. Maybe it’s petty, but I want both and I’m not willing to spend over a grand for something that’s going to be constantly frustrating me. But I will say, I might compromise on one of those if there were two USB-C ports that could transfer data. Immagine having a doc set up with a second screen and power, but two pulls and you have a portable tablet with all the functionality that you use on a regular basis. Something that convenient might even make me want to use Apple’s native productivity apps instead of frequently being annoying that the Microsoft free versions mess up formatting when I need to make a small correction on the road to something created on my Windows based system.

[@smurfart201]

OK So i Own a magic keyboard 11 inch for my ipad air 4 and here are some pros and cons: (i will not count the floating design of the magic keyboard as you do not notice it at all when you’re using the device and you’re focused) PROS: The keyboard is backlit and you can adjust the brightens level you can easily remove the ipad from the keyboard and just use the ipad, and then put it back on the trackpad is AWESOME (but a little small, but you get used to it) Keys are very smooth and fun to type on CONS (PLEASE READ): I have had many software issues since i got this keyboard( a month back) such as: 1) The round cursor sometimes glitches on screen , and it also FREEZES in spots, i have to turn off my ipad, restart it and then put it back on for the cursor to start functioning again which is a terrible drawback, i haven’t heard many people talk about this, but it does happen to me, and many others if you go on google and search up “magic keyboard trackpad is not working” and you’ll see that there are many people on apple discussions talking about this same issue. 2)Since the keys are open and backlit, there is no felt cover to protect the keys, this allows for dust and small food crumbs to get inside the keys, and i have to spend a good a mount of time to clean it! ~ There is a solution to this, you can by a TPU plastic keyboard key caps cover from casebuy on amazon and it’ll stop making the keys dirty, and you can wash it under water with soap to reuse it again and again, i order this from amazon a while back and i’m waiting for it to arrive in round about 1 week (ill update this comment after i’ve used that) 3) The floating design is really cool but this means that the only thing holding the ipad in place to the keyboard are MAGNETS 🧲 these are very strong but 1 time, just 1 time when i was adjust the volume on my ipad, i pushed the ipad a bit down, maybe a millimeter, and it looked slated on the keyboard, so i had to take it off and put it back, but this happened only once so far so i’m happy. OVERALL: Doing i regret buying this magic keyboard?? No its great , but i had the choice between this and the folio touch, and do i regret NOT GETTING the folio touch? Yes!! i don’t have it obviously but its a whole lot cheaper and it has a row of function keys, is also backlit, and has and has a very good trackpad too!!! so sometimes i wish i has gotten the folio touch as it would have been more durable, and would actually protect my ipad when it falls!! so i recommend you guys to get the folio touch, not the magic keyboard, and not the smart folio thing from apple either, just the logitech folio touch, thats all i have to say, i hope you guys have a wonderful day, cya! 🤙

[@NathanMillerVisuals]

Good video! I have owned iPads since the first and have loved them for documents and media consumption and I’ve never owned a keyboard for it. Even in my days of using it to take notes in college. If I were to go with any one of these it would be because of looks when sitting on a desk when visiting with clients and Magic Keyboard would be it even though the function keys are missing *wtf Apple….*. Looks like it would make a great docking station for not tablet mode.

[@JBoy340a]

I had both. Sort of depends what you want. But both are so heavy and bulky I sent them back. I have the apple folio keyboard which is about the max weight I tolerate. They just need to add a backlit keys
