It is slightly more than most of the keyboards out there. There are a few drawbacks that I feel and one of them is the weight of the keyboard. The Logitech K480 costs nearly $50 top of that, a brand like Logitech is definitely worth giving a shot. When we find any gadget that has answers to almost all problems, the first thought that strikes the mind is about the money. It has a push-button like of cap that helps to change batteries easily. Unlike most of the battery operated devices where the battery cap needs to be opened with some sharp object, this keyboard has made that easy as well. The official site says batteries last for two years, that’s little hard to discount, but assuming even the 50%, we can consider at least one-year battery life. After using all three devices simultaneously, I can assure you that it was swift and smooth to switch between all three devices.
After you are finished connecting three devices, you need to rotate the dial to the number of the device you wish to connect.Īpart from this, the keyboard has a connectivity range of 10 meters (33ft), which I guess is more than enough, as most of us use a keyboard while working on a desk. The process remains the same for the other two devices.
For instance, if the dial is at number one and you connect your Mac to the keyboard, your Mac is numbered as one. The number of the device depends on the dial you have set while connecting it. Make sure the device you are connecting is discoverable. If you are connecting the keyboard to iOS or a Mac, press and hold the “i” key on the keyboard.
Just turn on the keyboard using the switch given at the back, and then press and hold “PC” key for three seconds, if you are connecting it to a desktop/laptop with Android or Windows. The keys have markings for various devices, and they function as and when you switch between devices.Ĭonnecting this keyboard to your device is extremely easy. So if you have multiple devices running a different OS, it shouldn’t be a problem. First of all, the keyboard supports iOS, macOS, Android, and also Windows. If looks have already impressed you, I am confident the features will too. So just rotate the dial and switch between devices. The first device connected is numbered one, and so on. It is as easy as one, two, and three literally. Then there is a dial on the left of the keyboard, which lets you quickly toggle between devices. Besides that, it has silicone like soft material that doesn’t scratch your iPhone or iPad while you rest it in the cradle. Also, the depth of the cradle is enough to hold your device firmly without letting it fall.
The iPad Pro and the iPhone were placed on the cradle at the same time you can imagine the space it has. We connected a Mac, an iPad Pro, and an iPhone X simultaneously. When it comes to usability, there is a cradle on the top of the keyboard, to place your iPhone or iPad while using it.
