Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 for Computers. Tablets and Smartphones. Black, Compact, Dial and Switch, Spill-Resistant Keyboard - 920-006342 (Renewed)

Once paired, it connects to any 3 iOS and windows devices. Just rotate the switch to change the device. Response once moved to a different device is so fast you can start typing immediately. It holds iPad and iPhones solidly. The internal AA batteries, provided, give very long life. Still assessing this detail. My typing is faster on this size keyboard, so that is also a perk. No number pad or mouse built in. Very rugged construction- heavy gauge steel internally, not thin plastic. The rotary switch is highly robust. The internal construction is the keypad is much better than modern KYBDs. Built to last. Very rigid. Deeper front to back than a normal 104 KYBD. An excellent value. The one I used before lasted about ten years. It only died about a month ago. Fits laptop cases and larger backpacks.

[Updated Review]Well, my replacement keyboard arrived and it works brilliantly. I have updated my star rating on this item as a result. The bluetooth was simple to setup using the included instructions and it remains connected to each of the three devices I setup for it, even when switching back and forth from one to the other. The keys are very responsive and have a good feel upon pressing and releasing. Very happy. Would recommend this keyboard to others. The replacement keyboard did not come with AAA batteries, but no bother as I have new batteries which I bought to use with the defective keyboard that this one replaced. A++[Original Review]I was so excited to receive this keyboard and take it with me on my cross country train trip, but it refused to power on. I installed the included set of two (new?) AAA batteries, as well as two more sets of brand new Duracell batteries, which I had just purchased from the Walgreens store near me...still no power. I tried moving the power switch back and forth, then I noticed something odd when I turned the keyboard. The power switch just seemed to float there and moved left or right, depending on how I rotated the keyboard. The switch didn't seem to be connected inside of the keyboard. Well, I thought, that makes sense as to why the keyboard won't power up regardless of the batteries installed in it. I contacted Amazon to request a replacement keyboard. I hope it will arrive before my trip and that it actually works.Besides the above, the keys on the keyboard feel very good, great tactile feel when you press them. The keys are actually the same size as, if not slightly larger than, the keys on my laptop and the overall width is only slightly less wide than my laptop. I intended this keyboard to use with my Kindle Fire HDX tablet (arguably the best Kindle that Amazon has ever produced - resolution, speed/processor, storage). Sadly, I was unable to test the responsiveness of the keys and the connectivity of the keyboard to the various bluetooth devices I own. I do like the weight of the keyboard and the stiffness of the case (resistance to flexing and bending), but I know that some reviewers have said it was a bit on the heavier side and thicker than other slim keyboards, which I don't mind at all.When my replacement keyboard arrives, I hope to update this review, if it is not also defective, of course.

I've wanted to write on my phone for a while now so a bluetooth keyboard seemed like the thing to get. Having used Logitech's keyboards in the past and (mostly) been happy with them, I went with this. I like that it has a little trough to put your phone or tablet built right in. Something you may not need if you're using this in a coffee shop and already have a stand on your phone (in which case the K380 is probably what you want), but something I desperately needed for writing in bed, on the couch, or sitting in a lounge chair in the backyard, etc.You can switch between three bluetooth devices with the dial on the left, which works really well and switches in a second or two, so this has also replaced my Logitech K800 as the living room PC keyboard. I love that keyboard and have used it for years so the fact that I've replaced it with this should tell you something. I do prefer typing on the K800, but this one definitely isn't bad, just not as good. The main thing is the smaller size, and convenience of easily switching between my phone and PC. It's also replaced my Logitech K360, which I was using for my PS4. I HATED that keyboard. The keys took way too much force to press and the keys were slippery and spaced weirdly, it was such a chore to type on. I've used other (wired) Logitech keyboards in the past and had no issue with them, but the K360 is straight up garbage. As this also had a similar design where there is empty space between the keys I was worried it would be the same thing all over again, but it wasn't. I would definitely prefer having a traditional layout with square keys that have no empty space between them, but the way it's set up here is usable and fine. If I had a complaint, that would be it. I just really feel like they went with form over function there.People have complained about the weight and that really depends what you use it for. It's about the size and weight of a large tablet. For taking around the house and out back I think it's the perfect size and weight, but I probably wouldn't carry it everywhere with me, but I also don't carry a tablet or laptop around either. I don't think they make keyboards small enough for me to carry around all the time, and if they did they would be a chore to type on and thus I wouldn't use them. If you already have a backpack or messenger bag that you carry around, I can't see this being much of a burden, as it's definitely less than 2 pounds.
