Pros & Cons
Pros
It makes a cracking first impression. The aesthetics of the keyboard are very pleasing- sleek and minimalistic.
Construction is good, there are no creaks and there is minimal flex. Plastics have a nice, soft-touch satin feel. It feels solid and has a half way decent heft to it.
I type a lot of blog material and a sturdy and responsive keyboard is very much a needed aspect in my work. It is a very quiet keyboard though; its not clicking just a gentle tap as you press down. There is some sound, but it’s on par with the mk470. ... Read More
It's more expensive than no-name rivals but then it's got proper mac layout and mapping. At just under forty pounds, it isn't cheap, but you pay for the quality involved.
The k380 is a great keyboard for touch-typing. The keys have a reasonable amount of travel and give good feedback. I hadn't anticipated how alien circular keys would feel to my fingers.
Cons
Logitech k380 is almost twice as heavy as the apple magic keyboard, making it a complete joke as a mobile alternative. Main most irritating issue is that a lot of keys have multiple functions some up to 4 and im blowed if i can get the function to cha... Read More

Price
Price is great and another great product by logitech.
For the price you really can't go wrong with this.
It’s very retro and very cool, but practically it just isn’t worth the cost i don’t think.
The cost to have it replaced would be silly to pay.
Packaging/appearance
Even the packaging is appropriately minimal, a simple cardboard box with a plastic wrapper and simple instruction sheet.
It makes it quick and easy to get my thoughts from my brain, onto the screen.
Competitiveness
It's more expensive than no-name rivals but then it's got proper mac layout and mapping and is considerably higher quality.
In summary this appears to be a really well-made product at a reasonable price.
Keys feel a bit small but probably because i’m a clumsy typer.

The design of the keyboard is matching the apple design however both the top part and the bottom part of the housing is made from plastic instead of aluminium
