The iPad Pro was announced earlier today and with the announcement of the device was the announcement of its keyboard accessory. Now we’re not talking about a regular keyboard that pairs with the iPad via Bluetooth, but rather a specially designed iPad keyboard that connects via the new Smart Connector feature.
That keyboard is Apple’s official keyboard, but in case you didn’t fancy the design, you’re in luck because it looks like Logitech has announced the first third-party keyboard for the iPad Pro in the form of the CREATE. Like we said this is the first third-party keyboard that we’ve seen so far for the iPad Pro, but we doubt it will be the last.
According to Michele Hermann, vice president of mobility at Logitech, “With a full-size keyboard designed to work with iOS 9, the Logitech CREATE will help make the iPad Pro a creativity and productivity powerhouse. Even the color and finish of the keyboard are meticulously crafted to feel and look like the other half of your iPad Pro.”
The CREATE keyboard will also feature fabric that makes it easy to resist bumps, scratches, or spills. It will be released the same time as the iPad Pro, meaning in November, but pricing has yet to be determined.
