Review on Logitech K580 Slim Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard Graphite, Russian by Ivan Yakimov ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is average, I'm not sure it's worth the money.

A nice but unpolished idea born in brainstorming sessions to address an unmet need in the marketplace. It's a waste to toss it away, yet using it is exhausting. Used the trusty old Logitech K360 again.

Pros
  • Well-made, substantial, and securely anchored to the desk. Phone "pocket" in the front for easy access Link up with your device using Bluetooth or a special Nano USB adaptor.
Cons
  • This keyboard can be used with a Bluetooth or USB Nano connection. Using an adaptor and Bluetooth at the same time is really difficult. After connecting to a device, the Nano will be instantly disconnected from the Bluetooth connection. The K580 can only be used to switch between other bluetooth devices [2 ons], and the only way to break off a bluetooth connection (smartphone) on the Nano is to use the phone itself. Inconvenient as they may be, cursor ons (arrows) prevent you from performing an action by touch alone, which is often preferable. Short, clear, and jarring key travel. The typical shortcut for switching input languages, [Ctrl-Space], and others do not appear to function under Android (Bluetooth). You'll have to get used to the close proximity of the keys, even if you're familiar with the layout of the K360 from Logitech. The format is also unique from the norm (Mac labels will not be an issue). Neither the device's packaging nor the Logitech website provide any sort of documentation. The fact that many features are accessible by dedicated Fn + key combinations just adds to the importance of this.
