Logitech announces new iPad Air 2 Keys-To-Go, Type+, and Ultrathin keyboard cases

Logitech announced today that it’s releasing updated versions of its Logitech Type+ and Logitech Ultrathin keyboard cases that work with the new slimmer iPad Air 2. It’s also unveiling the new Keys-To-Go, a stand alone Bluetooth keyboard made to work with any model of iPad.

Logitech Type+ and Ultrathin keyboard cases were previously available for other iPad models, but now both are officially available for the approximately 18% thinner second generation iPad Air. The Ultrathin ($89) is a light magnetic clip-on keyboard that provides protection for the display when not in use and is made out of high-grade aluminum. It will be available in Space Gray and Silver.

The Type+ ($99), on the other hand, provides two-sided protection when on the go, auto-wake and sleep features, and also features a keyboard that attaches magnetically. It, unlike the aluminium Ultrathin, is made from Logitech’s softer liquid repellent materials in Black, Dark Blue, Bright Red,  Bright Green, Electric Blue or Violet color options.

Keys-To-Go is the a new standalone Bluetooth keyboard that includes a 6.1mm-thin, 180 gram design that Logitech says includes a Water-repellant FabricSkin, iOS shortcuts, and a rechargeable battery that lasts up to three months on a charge. It will be available for $69.99 in red, black, and teal color options (pictured above).

    Have given up with anything but a full size keyboard, where the distance between key centres is the same as a full size desktop keyboard. Dear Logitech, LOVE your gear (typing this on a K750 solar powered keyboard, Performance MX mouse on the right), but please develop a fold out portable Bluetooth keyboard with keys that are not only spaced the same as a desktop kb, but have a long throw, to bring an end to finger pain! Thanks, xx

  2. Very interested in getting the Ultra-Thin version as well as the Keys-to-go keyboards. I’ve had one with each new iPad and each has been better and better. Logitech makes the best…totally makes my iPad the preferred mobile device. It does everything!

    I’ve never been satisfied with these keyboards, regardless of there weight or overall thinness. The fact that keyboard isn’t a standard layout makes typing on them enjoyable, I’d rather tilt the iPad in landscape with it tilted with the Smart Cover and use the glass. It’s simple not enough to produce a product that is simply “tactile”

    Save your pennies, buy a 10-keyless Apple Wireless keyboard, it doesn’t attach, but it works brilliantly and is fairly portable.

      I have to say, my experience is the opposite, I’ve been using the ultrathin for a couple years now, it’s fantastic not only for touch typing on (at full speed), but as a stand. Get several times more usage out of my iPad because of it. Can’t wait for the Air 2 version.

    Anyone knows the differences between the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio (not Case) and the Type+? They seem the same to me. Thanks

    Love the Keys-To-Go. Using it right now with an iPad. I find it’s even more comfortable to use than the new Smart Cover Keyboard from Apple for the iPad Pro line.
