I own both Apple's Smart and Magic iPad keyboards. The 11" Magic Keyboard will also work with the latest Air (2020). The Magic Keyboard is a thousand times better than the Smart one (trackpad, illuminated keys, adjustable viewing angles, well-built, and a far better typing experience) - but it's also egregiously overpriced. And if you use the Pencil a lot, it's a poor choice, because you can't angle back the screen quite far enough to use it effectively.
tl;dr - I have no personal experience with this Logitech product, but I'm guessing it sits in between Apple's two OEM options: far superior to the Smart Keyboard, but probably not quite as good as the Magic. And it's probably a better choice than the Magic Keyboard if you use the Pencil a lot.

Please keep in mind this only works on the current, 4th gen iPad Air.
It's NOT as thin as the Apple keyboard cover without touchpad, but it works well. It does have mushy keys, so keep that in mind if that bothers you.
It also supports multi touch, so like using 4 finger swipe to change to other open apps.
Very good quality.

The Logitech by contrast keeps the iPad out of the way (it has an angled stand to prop it up which works great on a flat surface, thought not as "lappable" as the Apple case). And the Logitech also has a full top row of function keys that make it feel more like you're using a MacBook. Lastly, the Logitech has the exact same support for multitouch gestures as the Magic keyboard too, and for a faaaaaar lower price!
Either keyboard is a very nice experience, so your buying decision mostly boils down to which one's nitpicks are less annoying for you. I imagine most would be happy with either. My wife has this exact Folio Touch and loves it (and this is a better price than we got a few months back!). I opted to kick it up a notch and got a Folio Combo Touch. The main difference is the Combo Touch keyboard magnetically attaches to the case so if you don't need it (like for use in bed or on the couch web surfing) you can snap it off and not have to fold it behind (like this Folio Touch model) which reduces the weight in your hand without having to "finger" the inactive keyboard keys on the back lol. Again, to each his own in this one. All three models are super cool!
I have the Combo and absolutely love it. I disconnect the keyboard often and it helps save on some weight. I think this is still a nice deal but just something to think about as that's the only reason I went Combo over Folio.
