Pros & Cons
Pros
This is indeed smart. It has multi-device pairing, which means you can pair it with your laptop/ desktop, phone, and tablet at the same time. Secondly it's able to connect to three devices at once.
Cons
Logi keyboard comes with a huge design flaw which is well documented on the internet. The smart backlight on / off that is supposed to extend battery life is very slow. Sometimes it just starts flashing with no apparent reason.
Highlights
Quality
The keyboard itself is great, quiet, and the keys have a nice feel and the battery lasts a long time.
Solidly built, nicely compact, comfortable in use keyboard.
The software which allows you to link two computers has never worked properly and seems to have been withdrawn.
I am a daily typist (around 8 hours a day) and after two weeks' of continuous use, the battery is still at 70%!
Price
A bit pricy, but worth every cent!
My only quibble would be with the price, it's well over what i usually spend on things like keyboards.
At the time of writing (july 2023) - £60 would be a great price, £90+ is a rip-off.
), at a price point that's reasonable, i'm a fan.
Shipping
This keyboard arrived quick and easily paired to a number of laptops.
Packaging/appearance
As soon as i got it out of the box it felt good.
Competitiveness
If you don't like the apple magic keyboard solution, this is a very competitive and functional alternative.
The keyboard is apple and windows compatible, making it an ideal alternative to my laptop's built-in keyboard.
The logitech k380 is complete trash compared to this one.
However, logitech sacrificed prntscr, scrlock and pause/break to add a worthless feature of connecting to three different machines.
