Logitech Combo Touch Review: The Ultimate Alternative to Apple's Magic Keyboard

Since Tim Cook famously said, "Why does your next computer have to be a computer?" I have been eager to get my hands on Apple's Magic Keyboard. As a long-time MacBook user for over ten years, I had the chance to try out this keyboard and was impressed by its functionality and design. However, with a price tag exceeding 2000 yuan, I found it hard to justify the purchase and began searching for a more affordable alternative.

I previously tried Bluetooth keyboards, but the touchpad latency left much to be desired. Then, Logitech released the Folio Touch, which caught my attention. It’s Apple-certified and supports Smart Connector, and the online reviews were consistently positive, often comparing it to the Magic Keyboard. However, the all-in-one design of the keyboard and iPad case affected usability. That’s when the upgraded Combo Touch (IK1176) was launched, allowing for a detachable keyboard and case, and I jumped at the chance to buy it.

First off, I love the design. The woven material feels great, even if it’s not the most stain-resistant. The case's infinitely adjustable angle is a feature I truly appreciate. The keyboard has a standard key travel, which was expected and acceptable for me. The touchpad is incredibly responsive—point and click with precision! The multi-finger gestures mimic those of a MacBook perfectly: swipe up with two fingers for multitasking, three fingers to switch between apps.

The keyboard also features backlighting and a row of shortcut keys, making it ideal for travel or daily use. While it may not completely replace a computer, I find it more than sufficient for light work, and its entertainment capabilities are even stronger. The best part? You can snag it for just $170 from third-party sellers, making it a fantastic deal!
