Apple's Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro 11 and 12.9-inch models offer a premium trackpad keyboard experience with a unique floating design. With the integrated Smart Connector, you don't have to worry about charging or clunky Bluetooth pairing with Apple's keyboard, and since it sports a USB-C port, it even allows for passthrough charging for your iPad.

The Logitech Combo Touch provides complete protection for the 10.2-inch iPad with coverage from front to back. Logitech's keyboard is jam-packed with features like an integrated Smart Connector, backlit keyboard, expansive trackpad, kickstand, and an Apple Pencil loop. The best part is the detachable keyboard, so you can ditch the bulk when it's time for play.
Laptop-like
The Brydge Pro+ Keyboard Case turns your 12.9-inch iPad Pro into a mini-Macbook with its 180-degree integrated hinge and sleek aluminum design. While it utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity, this trackpad case lasts for up to three months on a single charge, even with adjustable backlit keys. For added protection, it also has a handy removable magnetic back cover.
Tons of color
The Typecase Touch iPad Keyboard Case with Trackpad is available in a whopping 14 — yes 14, finishes, including stunning purples, blues, and greens. These Typecase cases also add a touch of color to the keyboard with a 10-color backlighting system that doesn't sacrifice battery life, as this combo lasts for up to 90 days per charge.
Affordable and productive
Despite the affordable price, Chesona's trackpad keyboard case for 10.2-inch iPads offers a lot of bang for the buck with an integrated Apple Pencil slot, detachable keyboard, and of course, a trackpad. Plus, unlike other detachable keyboard cases, Chesona's case hides magnets inside of the front cover, so your iPad is always protected — even when you don't need a keyboard.
iPad and more
The ZAGG Pro Keys with Trackpad not only connects to the iPad Pro via Bluetooth, but it supports multiple devices so you can shift between devices without interrupting your workflow. The ZAGG Pro Keys also includes dedicated shortcut keys for standard functions like volume and play/pause, which Apple's Magic Keyboard lacks.
