Best Mobile Keyboard For iPad With Multi-Device Pairing: Logitech MX Keys Mini.

If these aren't an issue for you, it's one of the best keyboards for iPad that we've tested. It also lacks backlighting, so the keys are hard to see in the dark. It connects to any device via Bluetooth, but it only supports one device at a time which is disappointing if you have a multi-device setup. Besides the Touch ID, our results are valid for any of the models, and the typing quality feels great. To be safe, go for the variant without the Touch ID.

Touch ID only works on Mac computers with the new M1 chip, but we've read reports that even the new iPad Pro with the M1 chip doesn't support Touch ID. We tested the full-size version, but there are two different compact variants with and without the Touch ID support. It's the most recent release of the Magic Keyboard, replacing the Apple Magic Keyboard 2017, and it adds a few extra features and variants.

If you're looking for a portable option that doesn't attach to the iPad, check out the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad. Best Portable Keyboard For iPad: Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad.That said, it's a great choice if you're looking for a keyboard for your 7th, 8th, or 9th generation iPad. Also, its backlighting doesn't get too bright, so it might not be a good choice if you tend to work in the dark, as the key legends are harder to see. It could also result in more typos, especially if you're typing quickly since it's easier to nick a key on accident. Unfortunately, like most folio keyboards, the keys are small and close together, meaning they feel cramped to type on. It has two incline settings for your iPad, depending on your preference, and has backlighting that comes in seven different colors, which is a rare but fun feature for this keyboard style. It's fully compatible with iPadOS and iOS, and most keys function when paired with other operating systems. It connects using Bluetooth, and you can pair it with another device simultaneously, which is great if you have a multi-device setup. Though we tested the 11-inch model, it comes in a variety of sizes to suit different generations and models of the iPad, and we expect our test results to remain consistent. This keyboard comes with a nice magnetically removable case that wraps around the whole iPad to offer protection along its sides and back. If you have an iPad with a 10.2-inch screen, the best keyboard we've tested is the ZAGG Pro Keys.

Also, its typing quality is only okay, and its small size means your fingers may feel more fatigued after long sessions. Unfortunately, while it does have white backlighting, it doesn't get as bright as the Apple, and the keys aren't individually lit. The row of dedicated media keys allows you to skip through songs or change the volume without having to go directly into a media app on your iPad, so you won't have to disrupt your workflow to skip that song you can't stand. It uses the Apple Smart Connector feature to connect with and draw power from the iPad, meaning you don't have to worry about charging it separately. It only works with the 11 inch iPad Pro, but it's much cheaper and has many of the same features as the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad 2021, like a trackpad for gesture support. If the price tag is a tad too steep, then check out the Logitech Folio Touch. Cheaper Alternative: Logitech Folio Touch.That said, it's a great choice if you use an iPad as your main workstation as it allows you to use it as a scaled-down MacBook. Also, while the folio offers additional protection on the iPad's back and front, it doesn't cover the sides. Unfortunately, it's only designed for iPads and can't connect to any other device like an iPhone. Also, if you tend to work at night, every key is individually backlit with a bright white, so they're very visible. There's also a USB-C port on the side of the keyboard, which you can use to charge your iPad. However, it does include a trackpad, so you don't always have to rely on the touchscreen for navigation.

Its design is similar to a MacBook keyboard, though it lacks dedicated media keys. The 11 inch model we tested is also compatible with the fourth-generation iPad Air. It comes in two size variants, 11 inch and 12.9 inch, so it works with either size of iPad Pro you own. This folio board only works with iPads as it uses the Smart Connector to connect with and draw power. The best keyboard for iPad Pro that we've tested is the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad 2021.
