Best iPad keyboards 2025: Top picks for every budget

Why we like Logitech’s Keys-To-Go 2: It’s basic but it’s also compact and the keyboard keys use a scissor mechanism for pleasing travel.

Logitech’s Keys-To-Go 2 is a portable keyboard designed for iPad users who want a basic keyboard, rather than a full-size keyboard that includes a trackpad, stand, and protective, wrap-around cover like the Logitech Folio and Combo Touch options above.

Available in two versions, the standard version is suitable for Windows and Android devices, as well as iPad and Macs. It comes in light grey, dark grey or Lilac blue. There’s also a version designed specifically for iPad, which is still compatible with Windows and Macs, but has a more Apple-centric keyboard layout. That is the model we tested. The price of both versions of the keyboard is the same.

The Keys-To-Go 2 For iPad is designed specifically for iPad, offering a more Apple-centric layout with Apple’s standard Command and Option keys. It also includes a full row of Function keys, allowing users to pair the keyboard with up to three devices via Bluetooth, control brightness and volume, and take screenshots.The keyboard also offers layouts for various languages, including U.S., U.K., French, German, and Swiss.

The keyboard does not have a trackpad or numeric keypad, so business users may prefer the larger Combo Touch or Apple’s Magic Keyboard.

Despite its compact design, the Keys-To-Go 2 is sturdy and responsive, with a firm, responsive keyboard panel that doesn’t flex like some cheaper keyboards. The individual keys use a scissor mechanism for easy travel and are large enough not to feel cramped while typing. It does not act as a stand, so a stand or other way to support the iPad is required. Logitech offers customization options through its Options+ app, but this app is only available for Mac or Windows PCs.

The keyboard measures 9mm thick, 250mm wide, and 105mm deep, and weighs only 222g. It can be easily slipped into a backpack or carrying case alongside the iPad, and the keyboard does not provide a protective cover for the iPad.
