Logitech K380

Alright, the Logitech K380: this little keyboard is like that friend who's always there when you need them, but maybe not the life of the party. It's got some real good stuff going on. First, the compact design is great if you’re always on the move or working with limited desk space. It’s light enough to toss in a backpack without thinking twice. But here's the catch—it’s so compact that if you have big hands, you might feel a bit cramped. Typing on it can take some getting used to if you’re coming from a full-sized keyboard.

One of the neat features is the multi-device connectivity. You can hook it up to three devices and switch between them with the press of a button. This is a lifesaver if you're juggling a laptop, tablet, and phone. It’s a breeze to set up, and once it’s going, it just works. However, the Bluetooth connection isn’t always flawless. Sometimes it takes a second to reconnect if you’ve been away from your devices, which can be a tad annoying if you're in the middle of something important.

Battery life on this thing is pretty solid. Logitech claims two years, and while I haven’t personally tested it for that long, it seems like it’ll hold up without needing constant battery swaps. It’s powered by two AAA batteries, which is good because they’re easy to find and replace. But if you’re someone who prefers rechargeable devices, that might be a downside. It’s a bit of a throwback to use disposable batteries in 2023.

The typing experience itself is... decent. The keys have a nice bounce to them and they’re not too loud, so you won’t disturb anyone if you’re typing away in a quiet café or during a late-night work session. But let’s be real, it’s not going to win any awards for comfort or speed. It gets the job done, but if you’re a heavy typist or gamer, you might find it lacking the precision or feel you’re used to from mechanical keyboards.

Overall, the Logitech K380 is a solid choice if you need something portable and versatile. It’s not perfect, but for the price, you’re getting a keyboard that can handle multiple devices and has a long battery life. Just remember, it’s not built for everyone. If you can live with its quirks and limitations, it’s a handy little gadget to have around. Otherwise, you might want to look at other options that better suit your needs.
