In today’s increasingly digital world, constant connectivity and flexible work arrangements are becoming commonplace. Many professionals frequently need to respond to lengthy emails or manage their social media presence while traveling or working remotely. The ZAGG Pro Keyboard 12 aims to address this need, offering a solution for both mobile productivity and minimalist home workspaces. Its compact, wireless design facilitates simultaneous use across multiple devices while minimizing cable clutter at home.
Similar to the Logitech Signature Slim, a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad, the ZAGG Pro Keyboard features three dedicated buttons for seamless switching between paired devices. This keyboard offers broad compatibility across operating systems, including Windows, macOS, iOS, ChromeOS, and Android. Leveraging modern Bluetooth technology, it eliminates the need for driver or software installation. However, the absence of dedicated software means that macro programming is not supported.
The ZAGG Pro Keyboard 12’s size is a key advantage. This is a genuinely compact, yet ergonomically designed keyboard that fits easily into a standard backpack or laptop bag. The keys feature a rounded profile and offer a responsive feel, ensuring accurate keystrokes without excessive sponginess or stiffness. While the compact layout may require a short adjustment period, it quickly becomes intuitive with use. The ZAGG Pro Keyboard emphasizes efficient power management. It charges via USB-C (cable included), providing up to three months of battery life, and also supports Qi wireless charging through compatible chargers, such as the ZAGG Desk Mat, which we plan to review in the future.
The ZAGG Pro Keyboard series comprises five models tailored to diverse user preferences. Wireless options include the full-size Pro Keyboard 17 (108 keys), the mid-size Pro Keyboard 15 (99 keys), and the compact Pro Keyboard 12 (78 keys) reviewed here. Users requiring a numeric keypad should opt for the Pro Keyboard 15 or Pro Keyboard 17. For wired connectivity, the series offers the Connect Keyboard 12C with USB-C and the Connect Keyboard 12L for Apple Lightning devices. For users seeking a portable power solution, the mophie Speedport 67 is a highly recommended travel companion.
The ZAGG Pro Keyboard 12 is a streamlined, well-constructed, and intelligently designed device, featuring both long battery life and Qi wireless charging capabilities for users with compatible accessories. A key consideration is its target demographic. While most modern laptops offer integrated keyboards, the ZAGG Pro Keyboard 12 could appeal to users who want a separate ergonomic keyboard to use with their laptop. Additionally, for users who wish to travel light with only a phone or tablet, the ZAGG Pro Keyboard 12 provides an excellent solution for comfortable text input. The competitive price point further enhances its appeal.
