Sounds like a pretty niche use case. Why wouldn't you just use the keyboard on the desk?
Regardless, I'm sure you could 3D print or purchase something from etsy which holds together a magic keyboard and magic trackpad

K380 is such a superb keyboard
Most Logitech products are awesome…. But I did pass on the keys to go first gen
I have the first generation as well and I really like it. Moreover, its construction makes a cover redundant because the keys do not protrude. Perhaps this is what you did not like. The new one is more like a normal keyboard, so it needs protection for the keys, hence the built-in cover.
I had the original Key’s To Go and it wasn’t a nice product to use, in my opinion. It was very reminiscent of the original Spectrum with a flat but swishy typing surface.
This looks much closer to the K380 with just an integrated cover as differentiator. The K380 is a much, much nicer keyboard to use.

It’s a shame that this name has just become another generic Logitech keyboard. The original model had its flaws but I loved it back in 2015 as it was so thin and light it wasn’t a burden to carry and worked great with my iPad Air 2 at the time. This new one looks like a tweak of their k380 and isn’t even rechargeable.
I got the Keys-to-Go 1 as a replacement for the Smart Keyboard Folio as part of my upgrade to the latest iPad Pro.
It’s definitely not as good as the Smart Keyboard — Logitech still has some work to do improving the typing-under-membrane experience. And the version 1 is still gross Micro-USB.
But I don’t see how what was announced is a version 2 of that same thing. Set aside coin cell batteries — it’s no longer a fabric keyboard. That’s a shame. Logitech has other lines of small-sized normal-ish keyboards. I was hoping for improvements in fabric/membrane keyboards.

No, I didn’t care for the typing experience, and didn’t like the angle at which the phone sat in the tray.
Apple Magic Trackpad 2: 230g
Keys-2-go Keyboard: 222g
Aluminum foldable stand: 300g
Total: 750g~
iPad 13" Combo Touch Keyboard Folio: 690g
It's going to be slightly heavier, but it doesn't constrain you into a tiny little cramped keyboard/trackpad. Likely 25% gains in productivity at least for power users.

Logitech has always been my first choice in accessories, potentially behind only Apple’s offerings.
I thought it reminded me of the K380 which I have too. Though IIRC I got it for a good deal from Amazon. I’d much prefer to use this or the K380 instead of the magic Kb which I find a bit too cramped for the 11” iPad Pro.
One of the touted features is the ability to swap between 3 devices. I don't know if folio keyboards can do that. But if you don't need that, it would be nice. It probably wouldn't even be a huge premium over this + an iPad case.
The Mokibo touchpad fusion keyboard case can pair with 3 devices. But the trackpad function isn’t as good as I had hoped.
Logitech is playing the apple game, slight redesign, new colours….big price increase. The K380 still works great though….and half the price.
Thank you, its a different kind of keyboard but I bought that now and love it
Yes and no.
I have the plain smart cover for my iPad and just got the iPad version of the keys-to-go as an optional accessory. So the big mobility gain is, that I can just leave the keyboard behind whenever I won't need it. Also, it is not attached to the iPad, that gives more flexibility of using it. Also, it of course supports multiple devices, e.g. it works with my iPad and my iPhone and possibly a Mac.
It is announced on the website, also in Germany, but you can't actually buy it yet here. After putting it in the shopping cart, you will not be able to check out. Apparantly, it doesn't really release (here in Germany) still for a few days. Amazon.de has it for release in July.
Always found the Apple bluetooth keyboard to be great. Super thin and portable. Replaceable batteries and felt as good as any other Apple keyboard. Plus not plastic and on an angle that I know I prefer for typing.
I got mine today. So far I am very happy with it. I like the choice of whether I want to bring it along or leave it at home.
One important thing to note: there are two versions of the keyboard, one optimized for the iPad and one for generic clients. The iPad version is available right now, has only the keyboard layout as used by the iPad and other Apple devices. This is the one I have. The other version is not targetting a single system and allows on the fly layout switching, this is the version you want to get if you are using non-Apple devices.
