Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Updated March 11, 2026 Tablets aren’t quite as versatile as a laptop, but you can accomplish a surprising amount on an iPad — or even a phone — with the right gear. Our staff has tested scores of tablets and phones as a primary computer, and these are the best accessories for turning your iPad into a mobile workspace. Keyboard case 3 picks , $40–$100 A keyboard built into an iPad case isn’t as versatile or ergonomic as a standalone model, but if you mainly type on your lap, it offers a stable base and a built-in stand to keep your iPad upright, and also protects the tablet in transit. Slide 1 of 3 The best keyboard case for the 2022 iPad This offers solid protection, a good keyboard to type on, a stand, and an Apple Pencil holder for your 10.9-inch iPad. The best keyboard case for the 2022 iPad Logitech Slim Folio for iPad (10th- and 11th-generation) This offers solid protection, a good keyboard to type on, a stand, and an Apple Pencil holder for your 10.9-inch iPad. The best keyboard case for the non-Pro iPad Great backlit keys, two viewing angles, and the ability to pair with two devices make this the best iPad keyboard case around. The best keyboard case for the non-Pro iPad Zagg Pro Keys for iPad (7th-, 8th-, and 9th-generation) Great backlit keys, two viewing angles, and the ability to pair with two devices make this the best iPad keyboard case around. The best keyboard case for the 11-inch iPad Pro This magnetic case offers backlit keys with 11 color and three brightness options, plus similar protection to Apple’s own keyboard case. The best keyboard case for the 11-inch iPad Pro Typecase Edge iPad Pro Keyboard Case (11-inch, M4/M5) This magnetic case offers backlit keys with 11 color and three brightness options, plus similar protection to Apple’s own keyboard case. 1 of 3 iPad stand 4 picks , $10–$60 If you don’t use a keyboard case, an iPad stand can complement a wireless keyboard and mouse to create an ergonomic work setup for home or travel. We tested multiple options that would be easy to carry in a backpack or shoulder bag to get work done at a coffee shop, as well as stands for using your iPad as a second display at your desk. These are the best ones. Slide 1 of 4 A cheap portable stand An inexpensive stand that folds for easy carrying in a backpack or bag. A cheap portable stand Anozer Tablet Stand An inexpensive stand that folds for easy carrying in a backpack or bag. A desk stand for any tablet This is a monitor arm that can clamp onto any tablet, great for fitting your iPad or other device into any space in a home or office. Also comes with a desk mount. A desk stand for any tablet Twelve South HoverBar Duo This is a monitor arm that can clamp onto any tablet, great for fitting your iPad or other device into any space in a home or office.

Any Bluetooth mouse can be paired with an iPad, but we recommend a simple option that’s well-suited for travel. The best Bluetooth mouse The M720 is an affordable, comfortable wireless mouse with customizable buttons and a long battery life. The best Bluetooth mouse Logitech M720 Triathlon Multi-Device The M720 is an affordable, comfortable wireless mouse with customizable buttons and a long battery life. Bluetooth keyboard 1 pick , $40–$50 If you're typing more than a few sentences at a time, a physical keyboard is a must-have. iPads have good keyboard-case options, but a standalone keyboard is more ergonomic and works with multiple devices. A budget-friendly Bluetooth keyboard The Logitech K380s offers a great balance of comfort, features, and price. It pairs with (and quickly switches between) three devices at a time, its battery lasts for years, and it's small and light enough to slip in a bag.

Bluetooth headphones 3 picks , $35–$228 Headphones for work should be comfortable enough to wear for hours, have good battery life and clear sound, stow away compactly, and—if you frequent bustling coworking spaces—block outside noise. And Bluetooth means one less wire to get in the way.

Slide 1 of 4 The best iPad stylus If you want to draw on your 5th- to 10th-gen iPad, the Apple Pencil offers best-in-class accuracy and speed, and it’s the only option that features pressure sensitivity along with tilt recognition and palm rejection.

![An iPad in a Logitech Slim Folio case sitting next to a stack of books and a smartphone.]() Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Updated March 11, 2026 Tablets aren’t quite as versatile as a laptop, but you can accomplish a surprising amount on an iPad — or even a phone — with the right gear. Our staff has tested scores of tablets and phones as a primary computer, and these are the best accessories for turning your iPad into a mobile workspace. ### Keyboard case 3 picks, \$40–\$100 A keyboard built into an iPad case isn’t as versatile or ergonomic as a standalone model, but if you mainly type on your lap, it offers a stable base and a built-in stand to keep your iPad upright, and also protects the tablet in transit.

We tested multiple options that would be easy to carry in a backpack or shoulder bag to get work done at a coffee shop, as well as stands for using your iPad as a second display at your desk. These are the best ones.
