Review on Logitech K380 Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for Mac - Off White: Multi-Device Convenience and Versatility by Janis Gailitis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Everything about it was great except that I almost sent it back because I use it with iOS and the Cyrillic layout didn't allow me to properly place a dot, a comma, and "" where they belong. The period and comma keys, located near the bottom right of a standard keyboard, produce the symbols "/" and "?" here. According to some online sources, the combination of shift + 6 and shift + 7 is required to type both a dot and a comma. I emailed tech support and got a response three business days later: alter the OS-level layout. And it's true — when this bluetooth keyboard is connected to the iOS device, an extra menu item called "physical keyboard" appears in the "main-keyboard" menu item, with "auto" as the default and several Cyrillic layouts available, including "2022 - PC" — select this layout, and everything goes back to where it belongs! The period and comma buttons been moved to the bottom right, like on a computer, while the tilde sign () has been moved to the upper left. Hooray!

Pros
  • The battery is supposed to last for two years, the keyboard has a smooth feel, and the overall quality is high.
Cons
  • Weighty; coat pocket sags.
