Best keyboard I've ever had, honestly! It works incredibly well and has, at least as of writing this, shown no problems or dysfunction. I've not tested it's durability and have no intention to, but I think it's connectivity is quite stellar! A turn of the dial, just as advertised, takes mere seconds to find the other devices to which you decide to connect it. It's so far been a massive convenience for all the devices I use, seeing as I commonly use my phone, PC, and tablet at the same time for different things. The feel of the keyboard is great, with rather good weight to it that I quite prefer over the featherlight 'boards I've used in the past, and it's not as wide as most keyboards, yet my typing has not slowed down at all using it. The buttons feel great to use, and the smaller width has actually meant it's much easier to find a spot for it to rest when I've gotta get up. It also just sits very comfortably in my lap. Read more

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 Read more

I bought this so I can do app testing on various devices. My initial impression...it's heavy. I have another logitech keyboard for my media pc and this bluetooth one is 2-3 times heavier. Not that it's a bad thing. It feels well built and of better quality than the aforementioned keyboard. I just doubt I would take it with me on the road. It came with batteries preinstalled (which was nice) and the power switch already On. Pull the plastic strip and your ready to go. I connected very quickly and easily to iphone 4, 5 and LG android phone. It took me a second to figure out how to get it working within app, but that was more me than keyboard. The iphone 4 has a simple case and it fit in the tray nicely. The iphone 5 w/out case also fit but the angle was more like 40-50 degrees instead of 70-80 with iphone 4. The LG Volt android with snap on case did not fit. It's disappointing because it's not a bulky case at all. I tried a 7" & 10" tablet (NOOK, Samsung) and they fit without a case. Like others have said, the case will likely make the device too large for the tray. I just unboxed and setup. I'll try to update once I've used it a bit more. So far, seems pretty good. Update: It's been a few weeks and I must say I'm quite happy with this keyboard. I realized it's heavy to counterweight the devices. I put my test devices in the slot and away I go. I've already recommended we buy a few more for the testers in office. The only issue is that the slot is too narrow to hold devices in anything but the slimmest case. 11/28/2016: I'm no longer testing stuff but I am still using this bad boy quite frequently. Still liking it a lot. Read more
