Logitech K380 Keyboard, QWERTY UK Layout - Black

Main positives:+ Good typing experience+ On/Off toggle which prevents accidental typing when keyboard is carried in a bag and extends battery life.+ Able to connect to switch between 3 bluetooth devices.Room for improvement:- Could be more robust- Would be nice to be able to save more than 3 bluetooth devices at once.I first tried one of these years ago in a shop and was unconvinced by the typing experience (mainly because I was put off by the round keys), however since then this keyboard has been available at a very competitive price and I ended up buying one when I needed a cheap bluetooth keyboard quickly.In use, I discovered that my initial concerns where unfounded, this device is excellent and you can easily and comfortably type efficiently.Being able to switch between 3 bluetooth devices is an excellent feature.The keyboard is quite thick and the plastic does feel fairly fragile. I've been carrying the keyboard around in a satchel so that I can type quickly on my phone while out and about, I'm not sure how long the keyboard will last for this purpose, but so far so good.The keyboard is powered by AAA batteries which is great because unlike a rechargeable keyboard these last a long time and are easily and quickly replaced even when out and about if you do run out of power. Also, note that there is a very good on/off toggle switch which is difficult to inadvertently trigger meaning that you will not accidentally type on your device when carrying it and you will preserve the battery life.I have mentioned that the keyboard can save 3 bluetooth devices at once to switch between, and this is excellent. I do wonder however why these keyboards are not designed to connect to even more devices, presumably the amount of memory it takes to store a device pairing is minimal and does not limit this? Instead of 3 buttons, there could be a 'device switch' key you could hold down with a number key, this would allow 10 devices and would presumably only require minimal changes to the device circuitry and software? If anyone at Logitech is reading this, you would make me very happy to consider this!

PROS:This is a great affordable keyboard from Logitech that connects via bluetooth to up to 3 devices and allows seamless switching using the F1-F3 buttons (with a white light above each to indicate pairing status everytime you switch). The connection is strong without any latency between your keystrokes. The keyboard also autosleeps after a maybe 10 min of idle. It takes 2x AAA batteries, which might be inferior to being USB-C rechargeable, but the batteries last for forever, and it's nice not having the fuss of cables and not having to remember to charge every so often. The on-off switch is a toggle on the side, with a red/green sticker visible to show which state it's in.The form factor is very sleek and minimalist, it has a slight wedge shape/incline which offers a comfortable typing angle, and is also very portable despite not being a foldable keyboard. The size is just slightly smaller than the Macbook Air keyboard, although the individual keycaps themselves are noticeably smaller, with more space in between each key on the K380.The round keys are a very interesting design, and I don't find them any more difficult to type on than squarer keys.... They have a nice feel and have further travel distance than the standard apple keyboards. I've been using this keyboard for 3+ yrs and it's holding up well. Some of the more commonly used keys like 'e' are slightly shinier, but the printing on the keycaps are in pristine condition and not showing any wear & tear or rubbing off.CONS:A big disadvantage if you're planning on using the Logitech K380 for Windows on your MacOS/iOS devices are that the keyboard labels may not be entirely tailored to mac, e.g. it says both 'alt' and 'command' instead of just 'command, and there's no globe symbol you usually find on Mac keyboards as well.Perhaps the biggest downside are the mapping of the function row buttons F4-F7. Not every button is usable on a Apple devices.On Macbook, F4 brings up the launchpad, and F5 brings up mission control, but F6 & F7 don't do anything.On iPad, F4 & F7 is the same as a home button, but F5 & F6 don't do anything.There is somewhat of a work around for Macbooks since you can download the Logitech Options+ app and remap the non-functional function buttons (I chose F6 & F7 to toggle brightness up/down. N.B. The only buttons the app allows you to remap are F4-F7).However, for the iPad there is currently no way to remap the non-functional buttons to something else.I would suggest if you are solely getting this keyboard to use with Apple devices then to choose the K380 that's made specifically for MacOS & iOS instead (the one that has dedicated brightness buttons on the F row)

Nice and great Keyboard. Small and Portable.Can switch to 3 devices with 1 button. Great stuff.

Compact, easy to use, quiet and functional. Feels and looks well made, easy to take out of the box and immediately start using. Comes with batteries inside, ready to go with a quick pull of the tab.The instructions are very minimal - literally just a sheet of paper with a diagram, so for folks who are not computer literate,it may be a bit of a struggle to get connected and going. Personally not an issue, but thought it worth mentioning for those who require instructions in detail.The keyboard itself is very compact and despite having very small hands (I'm a very petite woman), I do find it a little bit cramped to work on. I mainly use it to write stories on MS Word (I'm a writer) and using the shift tab and getting to some of the punctuation keys at the same time can be very awkward with one hand, which isn't a problem on a bigger keyboard. That's the only issue I have, otherwise it's great. Works a treat and looks beautiful.
