Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 (920-006366) Review
Table of Contents
The Logitech K480 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard (920-006366) promises seamless typing across various devices. Having used it extensively for several weeks, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review, covering its strengths and weaknesses.
The K480’s standout feature is its ability to effortlessly switch between three connected devices. The Easy-Switch dial makes this transition incredibly smooth. Beyond this, the integrated cradle for your phone or tablet is a clever design choice, keeping your device at a comfortable reading angle while you type. The keyboard layout itself is familiar and comfortable, with all the standard keys readily accessible. The inclusion of standard shortcut keys is also appreciated.
The typing experience is pleasant. The keys offer decent travel and feedback, though some might find them a bit shallow. Connectivity is remarkably stable; I experienced no dropouts during my testing period, even at the edge of its 40-foot range. Battery life is truly impressive; the two pre-installed AAA batteries lived up to the advertised 24-month lifespan claim. The low-profile design and compact footprint make it ideal for smaller desks or mobile use, but might feel cramped for those used to larger keyboards. The overall build quality feels solid, though it’s clearly a budget-oriented design choice. While it works with Mac, PC, iOS and Android devices the Mac function keys don’t always work directly, requiring the use of the function key modifier.
Pros:
- Easy-Switch dial for quick device switching
- Integrated device cradle
- Excellent battery life
- Stable Bluetooth connection
- Compact and portable design
Cons:
- Keys might feel shallow for some users
- Limited additional function key functionality on MacOS
- Budget-friendly build quality; not premium feeling.
The Logitech K480 (920-006366) is a solid multi-device keyboard for its price. Its Easy-Switch feature and integrated cradle are fantastic additions. While the key feel and overall build might not compare to premium keyboards, it surpasses expectations considering the long battery life and reliable Bluetooth connection. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a versatile and affordable keyboard for multiple devices. Its value proposition and functionality make it a standout choice in its price range.
