The Logitech KEYS-TO-GO is an ultra-packable keyboard for everyday carry and travel
The iPad Pro 11-inch tablet has been a game changer because it has allowed me to pack lighter by not carrying a laptop to browse the web, perform light photo editing, writing, blogging and posting to social media platforms. I opted for a non-keyboard case because I found most keyboard cases to be lacking in drop protection for the iPad – including the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio which doesn’t protect the device’s corners. I was also concerned about the iPad bending when stored in my pack. I ultimately settled on the Muse Case by Zugu Case and I love its stand, which can be set in multiple viewing positions, and how it secures and charges the Apple Pencil. But, I still needed a keyboard for heavy-duty typing. I did some research and that’s when I stumbled upon the Logitech KEYS-TO-GO.
Logitech KEYS-TO-GO portable keyboard
The Logitech KEYS-TO-GO is an ultra-portable keyboard that is 9.53” W x 5.39” H and weighs a minuscule 6.4 ounces. It’s also super thin at .24 inches.
The Logitech KEYS-TO-GO is thin and lightweight.
The overall size of the Logitech KEYS-TO-GO makes it super packable. I can carry it in any compartment of any bag that will fit my 11-inch iPad Pro because it’s smaller than the tablet and it adds very little bulk. Even in a bag as small as my Code of Bell X-Pak Pro sling. It’s a toss in and go type of item and because of that I find myself carrying it more often than not.
With the reduced size and low profile, you do sacrifice a little typing comfort. It’s a full keyboard but the key spacing is not the same as a laptop keyboard or even a run-of-the-mill portable keyboard. The key depth is also lacking.
With those caveats, it didn’t take me long to get used to typing on the KEYS-TO-GO. The entire device, with the exception of the charging port, is covered in a rubberized material that has a nice tactile feel and the keys are raised just enough to type by touch as long as you’re not sloppy with your technique. The keys are super quiet and not “clicky”, which is great when you don’t want to disturb others around you. For instance, when my wife and I are traveling, I’m usually awake before she is and can type away without waking her in the hotel room. And because of the coating, the keyboard is spill and crumb-proof.
Try THIS with your current keyboard. OK, don’t because I don’t want any bills being sent my way because you killed your current device. But you get the idea. 
The Logitech KEYS-TO-GO has protection against spills, dust and debris which tends to limit the life of similar products.
Pairing is easy with Bluetooth and it connected and stayed that way with my iPad. I inadvertently purchased the Windows/Android version instead of the iOS model when I got mine, but so far I’ve not had an issue. I did lose out on some iOS specific shortcut keys, which would have been nice. But, I have an Android phone and the keyboard comes with a stand for smaller devices also. So now I can use it for both in a pinch. The Logitech KEYS-TO-GO’s battery life, according to the manufacturer, is 3-months on a full charge. I can’t verify their claims (yet) but I’m still running on the original charge so its been great so far.
The Logitech KEYS-TO-GO retails for 69.99, which is pricey. But, it’s currently available for $48 on Amazon and less on a couple of other sites. That’s a decent price for the portability and utility that this keyboard offers for everyday carry and travel use.
