Keyboards for the iPad Pro: The 3 best models

In order to be able to work really productively with the iPad Pro, an optional keyboard makes sense - despite the size of the tablet. We present the best three models for Apple's tablet in this practical tip.

1. The original Apple keyboard for the iPad Pro

Despite the immense price of currently 169 euros, the original Apple keyboard offers the best overall package.

• The iPad keyboard scores with a comfortable size and the pleasant feel of the keys. At the same time, you can also use it as a cover for your tablet - practical!
• In addition, the keyboard is of course perfectly adapted to the tablet, its size, but also its software, so that there is a problem-free and pleasant interaction between keyboard and iPad.
• Fortunately, Apple had a look at all German iPad Pro users in August 2016, so that (finally) the original Apple keyboard with the German keyboard layout was presented.
• With the Apple keyboard, which is connected to the iPad using a Smart Connector, it is possible to transform the iPad Pro into a portable laptop that is also optimally protected by the cover.

2. The Brydge Air keyboard for the iPad Pro

The impression of a real MacBook is created even more by the Air keyboard from Brydge.

• The highlight: The iPad Pro is pushed into hinges attached to the keyboard, thanks to which you can then set up the iPad continuously.
• In addition, the keyboard, which also has key lighting, contains two stereo speakers that take the sound quality of the iPad Pro to a whole new level. The manufacturer also promises a battery life of around three months, which is definitely not a bad value for a Bluetooth keyboard.
• The price of the keyboard is $ 149.99, which is the equivalent of about 135 euros. You can purchase the Air Keyboard in the Brydge online shop.

3. The Logitech Create keyboard for the iPad Pro

The popular keyboard manufacturer Logitech is also sending an alternative into the race, which, at EUR 139, is roughly on par with the Brydge keyboard.

• Just like the Brydge Air keyboard, this keyboard also has key lighting, and users are enthusiastic about the typing experience.
• The keyboard is connected to the iPad Pro via the Apple Smart Connector, so the power is supplied via the iPad.
• Compared to the original keyboard from Apple, the Logitech product has the advantage that it has several shortcuts that make it easier to use the tablet through easier access to popular apps or brightness control.
• You can buy the keyboard in the Logitech online shop.
