Zagg just launched a line of Bluetooth desktop keyboards that range in size from 12 inches all the way up to 17 inches, with larger models adding a numberpad and function keys. And they really don’t need wires, as they also charge wirelessly
In addition, the new keyboard lineup includes one designed specifically to plug into the Lightning port of an iPad. And there’s a USB-C variant, too.

When considering productivity boosters, computer users think a lot about big monitors and fast processors. The humble keyboard gets overlooked, but a bad one can be a real hinderance.
The new Zagg models are focused on productivity. “From the ergonomic design and spacing to the keystroke length and resistance, each keyboard is engineered to reduce typing fatigue and provide a fast, comfortable, and efficient typing experience,” promises the accessory-maker.
The 12-inch Zagg Pro Keyboard 12 ($69.99) has a standard QWERTY keypad. The 15-inch version ($79.99) adds a numberpad, taking the total number of keys to 99. And the 17-inch variant ($89.99) has room for 108 keys, including additional function keys.
No matter the size, the keyboards can get power from any Qi charging mat, like the ones for iPhone. Or there’s a USB-C port for charging.
They’re compatible with macOS, iPadOS, iOS, Windows, ChromeOS and Android.
