people tend to have several devices a laptop tablet and phone for starters which is why logitech keeps putting out multi device wireless Bluetooth keyboards the company's newest model the K 380 cost $40 and comes in the blue you see here and a dark grey and is one of the best compact full-size keyboard logitech's created to date the first thing you notice about it is that it has a little bit of heft to it which makes it suitable for use with the desktop computer though it's still light enough to take with you on the go you can set it up to pair with three different devices and press one of the numbered easy switch buttons in the top left corner of the keyboard to toggle between them the keyboard can distinguish between Mac and Windows machines as well as Android and iOS devices and map keys to supported functions and shortcuts it also sports connectivity with Chrome OS devices and Apple TV I like the feel of the keys and they're spread out enough to keep miss types down to a minimum this is a true desktop replacement keyboard and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it over Apple $69 Wireless Keyboard which is only designed to be used with Macs aside from the multi device support the other selling point of the K 380 is that Logitech says that the two included triple-a batteries will power the keyboard for two years I'm not sure how much use that's based on but even if it did have that it'd be good Logitech also makes the $50 k 480 multi device Bluetooth keyboard that model is significantly larger and includes an integrated slot that holds phones and tablets I personally prefer this bottle because the tablets I use tend to have cases on them that convert into stands so I don't need the slot I also like typing better with a smaller K 380 the keys have a smoother action to them and are quieter it's just a better keyboard I'm David Connelly for cnet.com and that's logitech's k 380 multi device Bluetooth keyboard thanks for watching
