“Last year, we introduced a trackpad to our signature laptop-like typing experience for iPad, offering improved levels of control and precision to create and work seamlessly,” said Michele Hermann, vice president of mobility at Logitech. “We’ve made this experience even better with Combo Touch by adding the largest trackpad we've every created for a keyboard case that allows users to click-anywhere on the surface providing more space to work, and a thinner case that looks great but is still protective for the new iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) and iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation).”

Combo Touch supports four use modes: typing, viewing, sketching and reading. The protective case features an integrated kickstand that allows for adjustment of the iPad to just the right angle for viewing across a 50 degree range. Enjoy the full versatility of the iPad without having to remove it from its protective case with the fully detachable keyboard. Simply detach for reading or sketching and then reattach it to type out emails. 

The larger area trackpad design of Combo Touch allows for more space to perform your favorite Multi-Touch trackpad gestures in iPadOS like dragging, scrolling, switching between apps and more. These gestures allow you to quickly and precisely highlight spreadsheet cells in Numbers, drag multiple objects in Keynote, and edit and copy text in Pages and Notes.

Available in Oxford Grey, Combo Touch features our thinnest keyboard case with trackpad design. It’s fitted and molded for iPad, and designed to protect the front, back and corners from scuffs and scratches. Combo Touch was designed with an open side so the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) stays magnetically attached to iPad for easy and continued pairing, charging and storing.

Well-spaced auto backlit keys and a familiar layout offer comfortable, efficient typing with 16 adjustable levels of brightness for visibility in any environment, inside or outdoors, day or night. A full row of iPadOS shortcut keys provides one-tap access to the Home Screen, including volume and media controls, key brightness levels and more.

Logitech Combo Touch for iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation) is available now for £179.99 at logitech.com and apple.com, and Logitech Combo Touch for iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) will be available soon for £199.99 at logitech.com and apple.com.

Today Logitech announced the Logitech^® Crayon, a versatile, pixel-precise digital pencil for the 9.7-inch iPad, previously only accessible to students in schools, will be available in Apple Retail beginning September 12. With a kid-friendly durable design, Logitech Crayon features Apple Pencil^® technology to deliver an ultra-responsive, precise and comfortable handwriting experience that makes it easy to markup and highlight work, take notes, or simply draw using your favourite iPad apps from the App Store.

“First introduced to students as a versatile tool for learning, we are thrilled to make Logitech Crayon, our first digital pencil, more widely available so even more creators, dreamers, and learners can express themselves and communicate new ideas using the new 9.7-inch iPad,” said Michele Hermann, vice president of mobility at Logitech. “Logitech Crayon works seamlessly with iPad and the most popular creativity and productivity apps from the App Store so whether you are learning to write a new language, jotting down notes, marking up a screenshot or PDF, or visualizing an idea, Crayon is the perfect tool for the task.”

Logitech Crayon takes advantage of Apple Pencil technology (but does not support pressure sensitivity) to deliver a natural, fast and precise experience across apps. Palm-rejection automatically ignores touches that don’t come from Logitech Crayon, which means you can comfortably rest your hand on the screen while you create. Crayon’s smart tip dynamically adjusts line weight allowing you to easily go from thick to thin lines with a tilt of a tip – just like a regular pencil.

Logitech Crayon connects instantly to iPad without the need to pair — just press the on button to turn Crayon on and start creating on iPad right away – it’s that easy. Logitech Crayon has battery that supports up to 7 hours of active writing time on a full charge.

Crayon is perfect for everywhere creativity and learning happens. Designed to be comfortable to hold for even tiny hands, it stays in place when it’s set down, featuring an easy-to-grip flat surface to prevent rolling and the kid-friendly sturdy, durable design can withstand drops of up to 1.2 metres. The rubber end cap is tethered to Logitech Crayon to avoid being misplaced.

Pricing and Availability

The Logitech Crayon is available for purchase at Logitech.com, Apple.com and Apple retail stores through September 2018 and is expected to be available everywhere beginning October 2018 for a suggested retail price of £64.99. For schools and school districts in the UK, Logitech Crayon is available for a special price of £49.45 at apple.com/uk/education/how-to-buy/, with additional countries to begin selling Logitech Crayon to education institutions soon. For more information, please visit Logitech.com, our blog or connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.
