Logitech 920-011775 Pebble Keys 2 K380S Multi-Device Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, Tonal Graphite

The Logitech Pebbles 2 K380s is a new generation of portable keyboard, that can be used via Bluetooth on phones, tablets, or even desktops and other computers. It’s definitely compact in terms of portability, being only around 11 inches in length by around 5 inches wide, and barely ½ of an inch thick at it’s widest point (which tapers down). It’s very well built, and the round keys feel solid and nice to type on, although my larger hands do feel cramped a bit since this is a small keyboard overall. It’s powered by two AAA batteries (included). Power is supposed to last up to two years which is a lengthy claim, but I of course haven’t had it nearly long enough to test the length of the power.The K380s is able to connect to up to three Bluetooth devices, and with ... MoreThe Logitech Pebbles 2 K380s is a new generation of portable keyboard, that can be used via Bluetooth on phones, tablets, or even desktops and other computers.

It’s powered by two AAA batteries (included). Power is supposed to last up to two years which is a lengthy claim, but I of course haven’t had it nearly long enough to test the length of the power.The K380s is able to connect to up to three Bluetooth devices, and with three white keys at the top of the keyboard, once connected, you can easily switch between the three. The power/connect button is on the left side. You pair it as you do with typical Bluetooth devices – mine took a couple of tries on two two items, but eventually connected. A “Logi Bolt Receiver” (basically a Bluetooth USB type A dongle) can be used to connect the keyboard to computers, but it has to be purchased separately.Out of the box, the K380s works just fine with phones and tablets and gives you an option if you’re tired of thumb typing or trying to use a voice assistant. If you want to get the most out of it and/or customize the 10 keys on top (f4 through the ins keys) for any number of actions you want them to have, you’ll need to install the “Logi Options+” software onto your computer and use it to update or customize the keyboard. You can also install any firmware updates that are available via this route. The number of customizations are large and can vary depending on the type of device and operating system you’re using – full charts are on Logitech’s support page for the K380s and also in the software as some of the customizations vary depending on the device and OS it uses.For myself, due to the small size of the keyboard, I can’t see myself using this full time for a desktop computer as a full-time keyboard. For larger hands, it’s just not comfortable enough of a typing experience to use for longer periods of time in that regard. But I find it very handy for my work and personal phone, as well as my tablet, when I’m having to take them to work or even having to catch up on a lot of emails on them at home. Everyone’s experience and needs will vary with this (as well as a user’s hand size), but for ME, it’s best when used as a portable keyboard for portable devices. The price is good even for a portable keyboard without the benefits of being able to use it on other devices, though, and it’s very sturdy and will most likely last a long time. Recommended.

Logitech has long been a quality brand for most of my tech accessory needs so I had high expectations for this. I have not been disappointed. For those that tend to spend a lot of time on devices that do not come with a keyboard like a tablet because of the ease of getting a lot of your asks done without needing to pull out a laptop or sit at a desktop a wireless keyboard can absolutely come in handy on those occasions where to need to type a lot of text and tapping on the virtual keyboard can seem to slow you down a bit. This is the category i fall into often so my real interest was in how well this would work in that specific scenario.Setup was super simple. The keyboard connected to my iPad with in seconds.

This is the category i fall into often so my real interest was in how well this would work in that specific scenario.Setup was super simple. The keyboard connected to my iPad with in seconds. I also paired it to 2 other devices (a MacBook Pro and a Windows laptop) to to test out the feature that allows you to easily switch between devices with a tap of an assigned button. This feature worked seamlessly and comes in handy when working on multiple devices at once to be able to move between them and complete tasks without needing to do a lot of tedious maneuvers.The keyboard is compact and lightweight while still being quite durable which I appreciate. The added bonus is that you don’t have to worry about charging it or hoping that you can complete whatever you are working on before it needs juice thanks to it’s impressive 3-year battery life claim. The keys are comfortable to type on and are relatively quiet. The function keys have worked seamlessly between my devices despite them not all sharing the same operating system.Overall, I think this is a great budget friendly keyboard option for virtually every user out there. It gives you the versatility you need to be able to truly type on a physical keyboard without needing a bulky option or having to worry about yet another electronic device that needs to be charged.

Overall, you can't go wrong with Logitech's keyboards - I've been exclusively using their products since 2002 because of their reliability and generally good quality builds. The Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s is no exception. This is a minimalist keyboard, which makes it good for taking with you, on the go - I particularly like to use it when I'm flying and doing a lot of typing on my iPhone or iPad. Speaking of switching between devices - there're buttons on top (the white "easy switch" buttons) that helps to swap between devices without having to go through all the bluetooth settings. Typing on the K380S is super comfortable with its slightly wedged design and the keys are super quiet. The design of the keys are generally circular, which is nice, aesthetically, but ... MoreOverall, you can't go wrong with Logitech's keyboards - I've been exclusively using their products since 2002 because of their reliability and generally good quality builds.

Speaking of switching between devices - there're buttons on top (the white "easy switch" buttons) that helps to swap between devices without having to go through all the bluetooth settings. Typing on the K380S is super comfortable with its slightly wedged design and the keys are super quiet. The design of the keys are generally circular, which is nice, aesthetically, but I don't believe it provides much beyond that from a functionality perspective. Logitech now has their Logi Options+ app, which helps to customize your devices - specifically for the K380S keyboard, you can modify the function keys to do custom actions. For example, the app is simple in that you can open the keyboard in the app, click on the function key you want to change, and literally make it do any shortcut - I personally do a lot of screen shots on MacOS so I can program one of the keys to do COMMAND+SHIFT+4.One issue with this product is that the keyboard is battery powered but NOT rechargeable. That being said, this product is super low-power so the need to change out batteries (especially if this isn't your primary, daily keyboard) is expected to be infrequent. Logitech's website says it comes with 36 months of battery life (depending on how you use it), which is 2x of what the previous model had. The other problem I have with this is that it is great to use for your smaller, travel devices like a tablet or smartphone but there's no stand or slot to prop your device up with the keyboard. It is assumed you have your own kickstand or mount available. I wish it had something as simple as a set of prongs that could expand out to hold your phone or came with a generic device stand of sorts. These are small gripes, really, given how good the keyboard it, overall.
