Zagg Pro Keys2 for iPad Pro: Thick Keyboard Case

I’m constantly testing Various iPad cases. When I’m done I’ll always go back Logitech Combo Touch. It has an adjustable kickstand and a removable keyboard, so you have everything you need. The Zagg Pro Keys 2 mimics many of the features of Logitech Accessory, but the low price makes me excited to give it a try, thinking I might have found a new favorite. Sadly, it’s lacking.

It is not exactly the same as the Logitech case. There is a folio cover that doubles as a kickstand (at an adjustable angle) and a folio cover with a removable keyboard in between. There is no trackpad. This means you need to stuff your mouse or pull your finger up to the screen. The overall setup is heavy and clunky. For $150, this is one of the more affordable iPad Pro keyboard cases. However, the defect is annoying enough that the low price may not be an issue.

Protective but cheongky

The Pro Key 2 I’m testing is specially built 13-inch iPad Pro (M4, 2024)you can also buy it 11-inch iPad Pro (M4) Similarly Both 13- and 11-inch iPad Air (M2). It consists of two pieces: a case and a keyboard.

Clicking the keyboard in place using a magnet will allow you to use your iPad Pro as follows Laptop. The setup uses options to cycle through colors such as green, blue, red, etc. to make squares instead of round keycaps (I prefer) and backlighting more modern than first-generation professional keys I can see it. There is a light bulb under each key, so it’s bright enough to type in in a dark environment. However, some of the keyboard (such as side keys and function column keys) shine brighter than the Qwerty key, so the lighting feels uneven. Adjusting the brightness with the backlight key didn’t seem to make much of a difference. Zagg added surface area under the keyboard to let the palms rest while typing.

The trackpad would have been the cherry on top, especially with plenty of space, but it’s comfortable to type for a long time (I used it to enter this review). There is a trackpad version). I’ve been using the case for a few weeks now, and I’m still accidentally reaching towards the middle and swiping my imaginary trackpad out of habit. The keyboard is connected to Bluetooth, so you will need to pair it with your iPad (which can connect up to two devices) and charge it. Zagg claims battery life up to one year, so you don’t have to worry about constantly plugging in.

The second generation version has slots on the side of the Apple Pencil, not to keep the flaps in place. It’s much more aesthetically pleasing, but I wish Zagg had colored it into the case. Instead, it is made from the same clear rubber as the bumpers around the iPad, making it look cheap. The bumper also runs under the slot, but does not interfere with wireless charging.

This case feels very protective, so much so that it feels like many people Sturdy The case I tested. In addition to the rubber edges, the remaining cases are made of plastic with a soft, matte feel. The folio cover can be returned to the stand and adjusted in two angles. Watching the TV (it was sturdy enough to stay on the sofa without falling over), and using it as a laptop was fine. But it doesn’t offer as many angles as a kickstand.
