How is the typing experience vs logitech keyboard folio or ultrathin keyboard cover or folio?

Hi Bradley, Sorry about the delay here. I did have to go back and try the keyboard once again to find out what I can share with you. The keys work great. But unlike some of the high-end Logitech keyboard covers, the keys are raised, meaning if you are fastidious like me, it'd bother you to see dirt that would get underneath the keys. Having said that if you keep your cover closed after each use, you should be able to keep them clean for a long time. Hope this helped. Good luck!

I can't say because I have never used the others, but I find it a bit loud at times.

My son said it took awhile to get used to the smaller keyboard (this is the first keyboard for his mini), but now he likes it as much as his AirBender for his iPad (bigger keyboard). He had a IHome for his iPad, and misses a couple keys the New Trent keyboard doesn't have. Cut/Paste & dimmer keys. Overall he loves both his Airbenders!

Bradley, iGear has a better keyboard than New Trent at this point in my opinion - and its just as rugged. Also, remember, the New Trent Airbender Mini "keyboard" is not waterproof, only the closed case is. They told me that they were going to change that misinformation, but apparently they haven't gotten around to it yet.

I honestly only tried the keyboard folio although the typing was about the same I wasn't happy with the protection of my mini. As far as the Trent It takes a little to get used to because of the size. Overall it's really a responsive keyboard and with it's rugged protective case it's hands down the best case/keyboard on the market.

I have never tried those two, but I have a Dell laptop that I occasionally use and the keystrokes are similar.

Hi -- I have the "Type" keyboard for my Surface RT, but I went ahead and paired the Logitech to see how it goes. After turning on the keyboard's switch, setting the Surface to search for a BT device, and hitting the Logitech's "connect" button underneath the keyboard -- the pairing prompt came up on the Surface. It asked me to enter the passcode on the keyboard -- after I did that and hit "Enter," the Surface went through its permutations and paired the devices. I used the Windows button on the Logitech to take the Surface to Desktop, and then opened a Word document to type in a couple of paragraphs. A combination of the Ctrl-S keystrokes saved the document. Hitting the Windows button again took me back out to the Desktop. So -- based on that very limited "test," the Logitech seems to work with the Surface okay. If I can add an additional kibbitz -- I really LOVE the Type keyboard for the Surface. The tactile sensation is like pounding on a heavy piece of slate (best way to describe it) -- rock-solid and very responsive. Coupled with the form factor, where it clamps reliably to the Surface and also serves as the screen cover (effectively turning the Surface into a highly mobile laptop), I'm really glad I went with it. Of course, I leveraged the "free keyboard" offer that Best Buy was offering recently with a Surface purchase (they may still be doing that), so the choice was a bit of a no-brainer. But anyway -- just to confirm that the Surface works with the Logitech -- at least based on my very limited test. Hope that helps!

I found some info which I have copied and pasted from Logitech India site. Hope this gives an idea. PerfectStroke key system. Your typing experience made near perfect. . Tapping into your needs Clickety-clack. Remember that sound? The old electric typewriter. If you are old enough to remember, it isn't just the clickety-clack that you probably miss so much. Rather, it's the way the keys felt under your fingers. It's a desire to create an unforgettable typing experience that drove us to create Logitech PerfectStroke key system. PerfectStroke combines the best of laptop and stand-alone keyboards to help make every key stroke smooth, comfortable, and whisper-quiet. See all keyboards with PerfectStroke . The perfect blend Traditional computer keyboards and laptop keyboards each have their benefits. Stand-alone keyboards generally use keys with longer, more comfortable key travel. Notebook keyboards have shorter key travel, but use a scissor-key mechanism that makes the response faster, compared to standard keyboards. We figured why not give you the best of both worlds? PerfectStroke creates the perfect blend of laptop and traditional keyboards by combining the smooth action of notebook keys and the comfort of traditional keyboards. . Smooth moves You don't strike the keys perfectly every time. Sometimes, you might just catch the edge of a key. With PerfectStoke, you won't feel the difference. Precision micro-scissors distribute force evenly across key surfaces so every keystroke you make is natural and fluid - even the imperfect ones. . Travel in comfort With a typical notebook keyboard, your fingers have to travel 2.2 mm to activate a key. Most desktop keyboards, on the other hand, have a much more comfortable key travel of 3.5 mm to 4 mm. We gave our PerfectStroke keyboards a 3.2 mm key travel - so you can enjoy silent, responsive typing that's comfortable too

I would not recommend the cover for competitive gaming. I played Starcraft 2 with the cover. Although I can get away with basic commands, it is very clunky and I got owned bad. I recommend external keyboard for any gaming.

I have had both and like the Sharkk better because it is more stable, and feels more like a laptop. The Logitech was nice, and very slim, but offered no protection to the iPad itself (which the Sharkk does) and was harder to use on my lap, since the connection is easily detachable. The thing I did like more about the Logitech was the ease of removing the iPad to use alone and the option to use it in portrait or landscape. But, with the Sharkk, I have better protection of the iPad, a more stable device, and I can flip the keyboard behind to use it as just a tablet or to view in portait. So, overall, unless popping it out of the case pretty regularly is very important, I would recommend the Sharkk.

I agree with Duc. All the latest mechanical keyboards use the same switches from Cherry, so they're give the same basic feel. In terms of price, the Razer keyboards, which use Cherry MX Blue switches seem the best and combined with the macro software is a rather great choice. I have two Filco Majestouch keyboards, one with Cherry MX Brown (tactile, but not clicky) and one with Cherry MX Blue (tactile + clicky) switches. In my opinion, I feel that the Cherry MX Brown switches are better for typing, but they're easier to fat finger, Blues are better for gaming as it's harder to mistype a key. The only thing is Cherry MX Brown switches are harder to come by in the US, but both Filco, which are now purchasable on Amazon via a merchant and the Das S Silent utilize said switches.

Yes, that is what I have. Just know, this is heavier than just a cover or sleeve, the keyboard does add weight to the overall package. I type a lot because I travel, this Logitech unit has worked very well for me.

I have not had it long enough to say, over time, but so far it is good. I have had others that the letters disappeared within a month, on the often used letters, so comparing tothose I would say it is better. I really love the way it is so easy to use. Comfortable typing. I do a lot of typing online and have enjoyed this keyboard more than others. And for the price, I think it can't be beat.

NC10 would be your best bet. Battery life is really nice. Also, best keyboard on a netbook, which I'm sure you will care about if you're a blogger.

Lenovo Thinkpad x1 Carbon handles better (keyboard and layout) versus the Smaung which looks good but hard to use

I love mine. it has the little nubs so I can find the home row. It takes minimal getting used to (pardon my grammar). In the past I worried about the bacteria on my keyboards, spilled coffee on them, and the key markings wore down. i can take this thing to the sink, put some cleaner on it and scrub it; let it dry and put it back on the computer. Sometimes I get a little rise or feel a tiny bump and I think my keystrokes are infinitesimally slower, but I love this thing, and it is worth it.

Thanks much. I bit the bullet and I just received my Intuos 4. Looking forward to it. Im starting off with Sketchbook Pro and can see how the keys will be very useful once I customize it.Thanks again for the comments.

You can't really compare the two when one is a ten keyless (quickfire tk) and the other is a full size keyboard (k70). Both are great keyboards.

I f it's just a keyboard you are wanting the very best is Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 - at half the price and twice the quality. Look it up!

This keyboard is very easy to type on. Huge upgrade if you're used to the keyboards from just a few years ago before they started making them like laptop keyboards. This Logitech is similar to Apple's in the amount of pressure required to make a key stroke. I'd suggest going to a local office supply store as Logitech has several keyboards that use the same feel.

To be honest I am not sure, what I heard is that the only difference is the box that the keyboard comes in. Get which ever one is cheaper

Very close to typing without the skin, no extra pressure is needed. Keys are less slippery with the skin. It's well worth the investment for spills and crumbs. I've used one for 3 years now and the keyboard is pristine.
