Logitech K480 Wireless Multi-Device Keyboard for Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Android or Chrome OS, Bluetooth, Compact, Compatible with PC, Mac, Laptop, Smartphone, Tablet - Black

I recently purchased the Logitech K4850 wireless keyboard, and I’m honestly impressed. It exceeded my expectations right from the start. I ordered it last night and it arrived just about 15 minutes ago in perfect condition, which was already a great first impression. The keyboard itself feels solid, responsive, and well-built. The keys have a comfortable, smooth typing experience that makes it easy to work for extended periods without fatigue. Setup was quick and simple, and the wireless connection has been reliable with no lag or interruptions so far. It actually offers more features than I initially needed, but at this price point, I couldn’t pass it up. I’ve trusted Logitech products for over 25 years, ever since I bought my first computer, and they’ve consistently delivered quality. This keyboard is no exception. If you’re looking for a dependable, well-designed wireless keyboard at a great value, I highly recommend this one. However with all of that there is only one little thing that I didn't notice before I purchased it. When I looked for a keyboard I assumed that the ones I was seeing were ALL rechargeable, but I didn't realize until 5 minutes ago that it is not. Five stars from me.

Several years ago I bought a Bluetooth keyboard for use with one of my electronic devices and the stupid thing stuttered. Every time I typed a key it would show it twice. I searched and searched online for a fix for this and was unable to find one. In the past, I've purchased computer mice and keyboards from other big name companies and almost every time there has been some sort of hassle: you don't have the right driver, it's not compatible with your device, you need to install this invasive software, etc. So it was with some trepidation that I decided to purchase this keyboard. The KEY (pun intended) deciding factor was the brand name LOGITECH! Although I've only purchased 3 or 4 different devices from LOGITECH, without fail, they have been plug in, turn on, work! I have NEVER had a problem with a LOGITECH device, PERIOD! It has been several years since I've purchased from them and it seems that their insistence on QUALITY and RELIABILITY has not wavered. Okay, so the Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480. Just buy one! It is a substantial keyboard, meaning that it has some heft to it and it's solidly built. It's size is 11 1/2" wide X 7 1/2" long X just over 1/2" thick. If it's not regulation keyboard size it's pretty damn close. I was able to touch type on it immediately without having to adjust how I type. As usual, LOGITECH, realizing that people today have more than one device has made this keyboard switchable to three different devices. I recently purchased a new tablet and wanted to use the old one with this keyboard as a "typewriter" that I could easily take to work. I HATE onscreen keyboards because I'm a touch typist and I can type much faster on a keyboard than any teenage girl can thumb-type on her cell phone! So the first job was to pair the keyboard with my old tablet...took less than five minutes and that includes the time I took to go to the LOGITECH site and read through their documentation. WORKED PERFECTLY! Absolutely no delay in keyboard to tablet. It was as though I was typing on a typewriter! This morning I thought I might have a need to use the keyboard with my new tablet, so I turned the selector to "2" and paired my new tablet as well. WORKED PERFECTLY! Then I thought, "oh yeah, one of the reasons I'd started looking for a Bluetooth keyboard, that I'd since forgotten (duh!) was that I'd recently purchased a Fire stick and HATED their onscreen keyboard (no surprise there!). So I took the keyboard into the living room and sat on the couch and turned the selector to "3" and paired it with my Fire TV. WORKED PERFECTLY! I shouldn't really be surprised as LOGITECH has a perfect track record with me. I guess they take the extra time to make sure that their devices work as they are designed to do and work out any bugs before they release them to the marketplace, unlike many other companies. Since I'm using this keyboard on Android type devices I really don't have a lot of use for a lot of the computer type keys, but I'm sure that some others out there will make use of them and critique them for you. The fact that this keyboard can be used with three different devices with the turn of a dial and that it can be used with Windows/Apple/Android devices makes it one of the most flexible on the market and the LOGITECH brand name ensures that it is a QUALITY product, which my experience has proven has not faltered. I don't usually spend this much time on reviews. Amazon nags me about reviews of items that I've purchased and I will usually type one or two lines just to get them to SHUT UP! But this keyboard reminded me how reliable and serious LOGITECH is about providing electronic devices that do what they are supposed to do and prompted me to make sure that I wrote a review that I hope will encourage you to buy one! Because of another review I also purchased a carry case for it at the same time and I am rather pleased with it. It's great because the mesh area that they show with a cable in it is big enough for me to put my old tablet in and so I have one case with the keyboard and tablet. So it's my own version of an old fashioned typewriter case! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0762H2SZ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

UPDATE: After realizing I had a defective unit and was outside of the amazon return period - I submitted a support request with Logitech and I was helped very quickly and courteously by customer support. I was dreading the interaction with Logitech (for no reason, just that I have typically found dealing with manufacturers to be more difficult than say, Amazon). My dread was completely unfounded and I'm happy to say Logitech sent me a replacement keyboard that has resolved most of my complaints in my original review. Keyboard switching WORKS! I can switch between a windows computer and an iOS device seamlessly without any extra key-presses. The power switch works as well. I cannot comment on battery life yet as I only just received my replacement unit. I'm updating 1 star to 4 stars but leaving my original review below. ORIGINAL: I have a defective unit and missed the return window by a day. I'll try to get a warranty replacement through logitech but be warned that this review is biased. Persistent problems: - Key presses will stick and I'll have to turn the device on and off and re-connect and hope that the 'a' key is no longer on repeat. - Switching doesn't automatically connect to a device (this could be the devices problem or my defective unit, I don't know). If I switch from position 1 to 3, I would expect it to automatically connect to my computer (or phone), instead I have to press the bluetooth connect button once. Sometimes it connects and sometimes it does nothing and I have to just kind of wait as there is no obvious feedback of connection or not. I think blinking blue light is attempting to connect and solid blue light is connected? but that's not always accurate on my device. Never auto connects to my iOS devices - I have to go to the settings and pair, every time. This could be an iOS problem though, I never have consistent luck with bluetooth devices and iOS. - Biggest faulty issue is my power switch doesn't work. I thought it was working fine until I realized one day when I faced a stuck key problem that when I looked at the powerkey, it was off, yet I was connected to a device. I then pressed the connect button and it tried to connect - while off. So basically, I can't turn my device off, which may lead to the next issue I have. Also, toggling the power button triggers a reconnect - so the power button does SOMETHING, but I have no idea what. - Batteries are dead after about 4 weeks of very intermittent use. I'm only in my home office for 1 day a week, so this keyboard got a maximum of 8 days worth of typing over the course of a month (being very generous with the amount of usage, it's probably closer to 5 days of use). Four weeks is a terrible battery life but maybe mine is defective. I use other logitech products which last much longer under much heavier use. Pros: - Solid construction. - Keyboard types nicely. I thought the key presses would be worse or more difficult because they look kind of odd in the photos but it's easy and comfortable to type on.

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.

Update I paired my iPhone 8Plus the day I received this but haven't 'dialed back' to it since then, using my iPad Air instead. Just now I 'dialed' to my iPhone and it paired right up. I didn't have to do a thing but pair it that one time. I'm so happy with this keyboard! and it still types like a dream! YAAAY! --- I didn’t want this keyboard at first because it runs off regular batteries—I’m used to keyboards that are rechargeable. So I looked at this keyboard for quite a while before ordering it—So glad I took the chance to order it! 1. Logitech makes quality keyboards in comparison to many keyboards I’ve owned. And believe me, I have had quite a few of them, most of them clunkers. I had a superb Logitech that I unfortunately and regretfully gave to a friend when I received a more expensive, but not better I later found, keyboard from another company. I miss that Logitech so much! 2. This keyboard types like my laptop keyboard, and that’s a good thing as my old workhorse laptop types well. It’s a good sized keyboard; keys well-spaced. There is an actual delete key! Yay! The keys themselves are large enough so that if you have big hands/fingers you will be happy about that; I have small hands and does well, too. Easy to see what’s what with the keys, function-wise. 3. Pairing was SUPER easy. I paired my iPad Air 2 first. Bluetooth connectivity was fast and simple. I then turned the dial and paired my iPhone 8Plus next—same thing, super easy and connected fast. I then dialed back and forth between the two without any problems at all. Awesome! 4. Even when you turn off the keyboard, it automatically pairs when you turn it back on and I’ve tested this over and over and zero problems. 5. NO KEY LAGGING OR SNAGGING OR STICKY KEYS OR DELAY! This is one of the more important concerns for me. The last keyboard I had lagged, had sticky keys, and dropped letters letters right out of the box. This one types like a dream and I am a super fast typer—really fast. I have had no missing letters, lagging behind, delays, sticky keys —nothing, just perfect typing. 6. I like the slot where you can put your tablet/smartphone and have easy access to them. Though if you put your older iPad vertically, the home button can be a little low. 7. This keyboard feels substantial. It doesn’t feel cheap. 8. Comes with the keyboard, 2 batteries included. There is not an instruction pamphlet but you won’t need it. If you look at two of my photos, there is a strip across at the top that shows you how to work/pair it—you can remove this strip once you do this. 9. If I had any ‘negatives,’ it would be: The on/off button is on the bottom of the keyboard. Not a huge deal and not a deal-breaker, but if it were on the side, it would be more easily accessed without having to remove your device first, turn it over, and turn it on/off. As I stated above, I wish it were rechargeable, but I will use rechargeable batteries. However, it not being rechargeable perhaps is why it was more affordable. 10. This does not come with a cumbersome case. I’m all so OVER cases with attached keyboards or keyboards that fall out when you pick up the case. I can pick up my iPad or phone out of the slot and use it that way, or use it with the keyboard. Though this keyboard is a bit bigger than some, I don’t mind it—really, if you add a case and keyboard to your tablet, it’s going to be about the same size. I LOVE MINE! If this keyboard keeps on working as it is now, my quest for a good keyboard is over, and all for less than $30 (at time of this review). HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you for reading my reviews. Hope it helps with your shopping decision today!

I got this for my wife for a gift and she has been going crazy-go-nuts over how much she loves it for several days. I'll give a quick break down for people who are shopping. Pros: 1. It works with anything that has Bluetooth, and VERY easily. We hooked up an iPad mini, and two cell phones (both android) in less than 3 minutes. It's that easy. Just activate your Bluetooth on your device, search for devices, select the K480, type the verification code in on the keyboard, and you're up. 2. It actually works as simply as it sounds. In all the devices we hooked up, we just turn the 3 way toggle and it automatically switches to that device, takes away the "on device" keyboard, and you start typing on that device. You can switch between devices on the fly, which takes like 1-2 seconds. My wife has her iPad mini and her phone in the cradle and is online and texting her mother simultaneously, just switching back and forth between devices with 1 flip of a switch. It's absurdly easy and she loves it with bells on. Bells on? No. More like a whole hand bell choir, playing Beethoven while she sips tea with Emily Gaskell and Jane Austin in a gazebo in 1850's Brittan. Okay...maybe not that much. 3. It's solid and doesn't feel like it's plastic. It's not too heavy per say, but solid. 4. It has a clever sticker along the top that has full instructions to set things up and connect devices. As a guy, I love that she got to feel all "techie" by doing stuff without asking me for help. I love helping her, but figuring out technology on her own makes here feel somehow like a part of the CIA. 5. It's a laptop sized keyboard. I'm writing this on my Asus laptop and the key spacing is identical to my laptop. The keys themselves are a little smaller with a little more space in between then, but if you can type on a laptop you can type on this. No cramped fingers and no hitting 2 keys with one finger. 6. It has multiple multifunction keys that are pre-programmed (like a "home" key, a "back" key, etc.). She's figured out a bunch of cool shortcuts and has love learning to utilize this thing to actually make her more efficient and productive in the hour she has at the end of the night to get all the e-mail/web surfing time in. 7. It's nicely thought out. There aren't any unnecessary gadgets or needless buttons on this (though that's pure opinion). 8. It's Logitech. They just make decent stuff and they're a brand name that has some credibility, being around the business for decades and decades. I still use 2 Logitech mice that are a decade old. They're not a perfect company, but I have honestly never had serious problems with Logitech. 9. It shipped with batteries, included and ready to go. You just pull out the tab and you're on. Cons: 1. It was more costly than the alternatives. We got it on sale for $40, and that might seem high for a Bluetooth keyboard. There are other brands online for $15 or less. Then again, half those $15 options all look the same because they're all made in the same sweatshop in China and re-branded by a company that won't be around in 2 years once the money gets laundered. Now it's true that Logitech's stuff is all made in Chinese sweatshop too, but Logitech has a long-standing name. Still, it probably doesn't need to cost $40. It is definitely more solid and respectable a product than the $15 knock-off stuff, so I paid the fee and don't regret it. As consumers, we're likely getting skinned because of the name "Logitech"...but if we wanted a quality "made in America" product that was produced in a factory where the workers made an actually livable wage, it would cost $140. What can you do? 2. They keys make noise. Some folks have complained that the keys are loud, and they're about as loud as any regular laptop keyboard. I don't see that as a con, but if you're expecting it to be as quite as the touch pad on you phone, it won't be. If you plan to use this to send text messages in church, you'll get discovered pretty quick. Then again, if you're taking an external Bluetooth keyboard to church because you plan on texting that much, you have some serious problems. So, for $40 I made my wife significantly happier for several days. That alone is worth the money for me.

I bought both this model and the Jelly Comb B046 since they were both the same price ($34.99). I decided to return the Logitech K480 and keep the Jelly Comb B046. Here's why: Size: - Jelly Comb (JC) looks, feels, and actually is smaller. The Logitech (LG) has a gap between the function keys and device cradle that make LG quite a bit bigger than it should be. - (see image where I stacked JC on top of LG) Weight: - JC weighs less, and the difference is noticeable. - JC 24.8 oz. - LG 28.9 oz. - LG has a more balanced weight, while JC feels front heavy (on the spacebar side). Buttons (size and shape) - Both keyboards have buttons that are about the same size. The size is fine for both. - LG has a more traditional "sqround" shape (which is what I prefer). - JC has circular shape, which seems strictly worse than sqround, and I can't think of any advantage to having circle rather than sqround. Circle buttons feel like a typewriter if that's what you're looking for. Buttons (sound): - There is a true difference of sound here. LG keys are too loud. JC is noticeably more quiet. Even typing softly on the LG I couldn't make it quiet. - (see video comparison) Device cradle: - Similar enough that I can't tell any difference. No issues, except that depending on the size/case for your device, it may not fit in the cradle with the case on. Bluetooth - Both are easy to pair. - Both are easy to switch between channels. - LG has 3 channels while JC has just 2. Power: - LG uses 2 AAA batteries, which it came with. - JC uses an internal/rechargeable battery. - I'd prefer replaceable batteries like in the LG since it means I could potentially use the keyboard for the rest of my life if it doesn't break otherwise. Eventually, the internal battery of the JC will probably deteriorate and then the device will be a brick. Winner: - For me it's the Jelly Comb B046. It's smaller and weighs less. The button size is strictly worse, but I think I can get used to that. The LG is way too loud, while JC is quiet. I only need 2 Bluetooth channels instead of 3. I'd prefer replaceable batteries like in the LG, but hopefully I can get at least get 3-5 years from the JC.

The keyboard is a really decent quality. All of the buttons work and I've not really had an issue with any registry. I like that you can switch between devices with the radial dial. The only issue I really have is that the buttons are kind of hard to push. It almost feels like there is a stickiness inside that makes it difficult to click. That's really the only complaint that I have. All around good keyboard. There is no lighting, and it's just black with green as pictured. It feels very well built though. If you travel a lot, this is the keyboard for you

Teclado rigido y fácil de conectar, no me causa ninguna dificultad y lo prefiero al teclado digital de mi tableta qué bloquea media pantalla. Excelente marca además. Lo recomiendo.

Bought this keyboard over 3 years ago and it's still going strong! This product is such an amazing keyboard! The keys are incredibly responsive, the battery life is really great (I only have to replace the 2 AAA batteries once every year), it travels very well (I've taken it on countless trips), it works with every device I have tried it with (works flawlessly on Linux.) Being an avid programmer and power user, I love the fact that this product has separate tilde and escape keys like a proper keyboard. I have probably written well over a million lines of code on this keyboard since the day it arrived and it still works like brand new! Fabulous product and this is easily one of my best Amazon purchases.

Fit for use

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.

Kids love it for school. Bought with carry case so perfect companion. Would be better if battery was rechargeable.
