Logitech K380 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard review: Up to 3 devices are welcome
Measuring less than 11 x 5 inches, with a thickness of about a half-inch that tapers down to give you the tilted effect, the K380 is the daintiest keyboard in our mix—by a long shot.
Despite its diminutive size the K380 packs in a lot of convenience. In addition to the three Bluetooth keys, the K380 also offers ten hotkeys and two Alt-keys (on either side of the space bar) that double up as Apple Command keys. You won’t find Home, End, Page-Up or Page-Down keys, though.
It took me a little time to adjust to this keyboard. First off, the keys are small and round, and they feel squished-together–I had to retrain my fingers to work within the cramped quarters. People with larger hands may have a tough time typing on the small keys. The keys’ travel is light but not superficial, and the audible feedback is subdued—more of an appealing tap-tappy sound than a clack.
I assigned devices to each of the three channels and could switch instantly among them using the dial. Adding a new device was an absolute snap. I just had to remember which device I’d associated with each of the three buttons.
The K380 handles multi-platform wireless keyboard antics with panache, and its portability is a plus. You do lose some comfort with the convenience, though, so this keyboard is probably best for shorter typing stints rather than daily driving.
