Testurteil: "4 out of 5"
Test: Einzeltest: Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad mini
Zitat: The good: + The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad mini is built like a dream: it hooks up to your tablet with a quick magnetic snap, pairs easily using Bluetooth, and travels well for something so thin. You’ll need to pop it off to slot it in in typing mode, but it’s a matter of moments and you’re away again. All in all, it’s a serious Smart Cover replacement. The keyboard has been thoughtfully laid out too, given the limited confines Logitech has to work within. You get full cursor keys, as well as a row of function buttons that integrate perfectly with iOS, including a browser key, media playback controls - even a Siri button. Then there’s the battery life. Logitech claims a battery life of six months for this bad boy, and so far, we’ve little cause to doubt that: ours is still going. That’s good news, as it means you can simply pop the keyboard cover on and head out without worrying about whether yet another gadget you own needs juice or not.
The bad: - Serious touch typists might be aggrieved at the size of the keys - they’re not quite full size in the same way some netbooks keyboard are and were. There’s still an element of henpecking to the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover - but when you’re dealing with a screen this small, we’re not sure there’s much to be done about that - and it’s still faster than typing on glass. That’s if you’re working on a flat surface mind, and if you plan on working on your iPad mini on a flat surface a lot. More of an issue is the price. £69.99 is a lot to ask, especially when the iPad mini costs more than £100 more than some of its competitors . Considering the main tablet use case for many people is on the sofa in your lap, it may not be a worthwhile investment - unless you get a seat with a table on the train to work a lot.
There’s little to complain about with the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad mini. It’s well engineered, highly portable and runs for ever. For £70 though, we hope you’re planning to write a masterpiece on the commute. If you’re not a frequent traveller, you might be able to make do with a much cheaper Bluetooth keyboard - or no QWERTY at all.
