Logitech Bluetooth Multi-device Keyboard K480 – Wireless

SO EASY KEYBOARD
I had this connected up in 5 easy steps in seconds. It recognised the Bluetooth on my Google Tablet and vice versa. I love the click of the keys, and the accuracy I get from not using a screen keyboard (and the bigger screen area that doesn’t have a cut out for the keyboard). This keyboard is robust, and portable although I principally use it at home

Way overpriced
As a keyboard, it works. Syncs with bluetooth as expected, and can sort-of hold a phone and tablet upright. My beef with this product is in the price. This is in no way a £67 product. At £20-£30 this would be reasonable. Something to carry around in your backpack and use with a tablet.But:- The typing experience is basic at best.- The product feels cheap and plasticky. It rattles a lot.- Doesn’t have in-build battery- Doesn’t have backlight- The tablet/phone stand barely fits an iphone with a case- It’s heavier than it needs to be (extra weight added to make it feel like it is not just a piece of plastic)Compare that with a K3 that comes at £95, at just £27 extra that:- Is rechargeable (usb-c cable)- has full rgb backlight and color schemes- has a stellar typing experience with solid MECHANICAL keys- has an ALUMINIUM body- has a stellar build qualityI keep looking at this and I just can’t figure out who in their right mind priced it like this. Luckily I got this with my work stipend so I guess it’s not something for me to cry over about, but if you need something to actually use for prolonged periods of time, and PAY with your OWN MONEY, this one you should AVOID.

These keyboards (my 2nd one) are very light, compact, portable and convenient. Is well build, edges are well rounded, is finished well without any sharp edges and looks premium. Works well – do not have any concerns to report at this point in time.Best if you have multiple laptops and you want to avoid carrying multiple keyboards around. Switching between them is seamless. Of course- one may not get all the keys in a full keyboard but that’s ok with me. The convenient is paramount.

Got this as a replacement of Logitech MK240 keyboard.The keyboard is heavy and feels solid, you do feel the quality of the product. Paired it with my PC and Note 10, the switch between bluetooth wireless is seamless. I could immediately do typing just about 1 second after the switch between devices. Keyboard key feedback are not really quiet, could produce a little noise when you type faster (when comparing to MK240). Some may like the feedback, but it is not to my liking (a personal choice). Will keep it however, it is still worth the purchase. Hopefully with longer use and wear-in, it would be smoother.

I bought this as a gift for someone that did away with their computer and only has an iPad an iPhone now. I didn’t buy the Magic Keyboard because she already had a cover she was happy with and that would have just been overkill. I did have to help her set this up, so I connected it to her cell phone and iPad, showed her how to switch between devices, and it switches flawlessly. Setting this up was a breeze and super easy. I think there were 3 steps and they had the instructions printed on a sticker right on the keyboard.My thought on the size is that it is a bit on the bulky side in terms of thickness, but that’s easily solved with some type of laptop case or a backpack that has the separate pockets to carry an iPad and the keyboard. The length and width is fine, and it is more compact than a standard keyboard without the number keypad. It does seem to be durable and built well like it will last for some time without intentional abuse.I did find that her iPad didn’t really sit in the tray nicely because of her case, but the phone with a thinner case did kind of fit. So, if you keep a case on your device, you might need to just use the stand on your case, or buy a separate stand instead of trying to fit your device with a case in the little tray to hold your device. Or, just take the case off.I didn’t test this with Android or Microsoft products because we only have Apple iOS devices. So, I can’t speak to pairing with those devices.For typing, there were no problems and I didn’t notice much of a delay after setting it up and testing the typing out.This is just so you can decide if this is right for you. I did find that resting my wrists in the table and typing is a bit uncomfortable for me, so you might want to consider getting something like a wrist rest. The keys are raised nicely so you can type very easily, but it is noisy, just like a standard keyboard for your computer. So, depending on how fast you type, it could sound like Morse Code. This is not a chicklet-style keyboard, so the noise is to be expected.For what this is, the person I bought this for and their needs, this is a great purchase. They primarily use it at home or on vacations, so they aren’t going to coffee shops, parks, libraries, or other random places with it much, so it’s perfect. I think it’s a great value, especially for older folks as the person I bought this for is in their 70’s.I would recommend this product for anyone that wants more of a standard style keyboard instead of something like the Apple or Logitech cases that use the chicklet-style keys. If you’re on the go a lot with your tablet, then you might want to consider a case with an attached keyboard instead.One other plus for me, and depending on your needs may not be a plus, is that it uses regular batteries. So, when it runs low, you can just replace the batteries and keep on going, you don’t have to wait for it to charge up. I’m sure you could just buy the some AA rechargeable batteries if you do want the recharge life. It’s just nice to know that you won’t have any downtime with it, which tends to happen when you need to use it most. I also found the door to access the batteries easy to open and close, as well as being in a good spot for easy access.
