    Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

    I needed a keyboard to quickly switch from a computer to a laptop and back, this one fit perfectly, but sometimes you could also print on an iPad and it would be nice if you could connect at least three or four devices via bluetooth. I took it with Latin two times cheaper than with Cyrillic, stickers cost two hundred if anything, but I don’t need them.

    Pros
    • Thin, pleasant to print, long battery life, bluetooth and unifing logitech sensor.
    Cons
    • You can only connect two devices via bluetooth, the price of a keyboard with Cyrillic is inadequate.

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

    Its pros: 1) miniature 2) works by bluetooth or via receiver 3) declared autonomy, but usually all wireless keyboards live for a long time 4) layout versatility - both under Windows and under macOS, with the ability to switch Different cons: uncomfortable arrows (I switch desktops with them, I still can’t get used to it)

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    Not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

    A cute, but very raw and device, born in meetings to fill a marketing niche. It's a shame to throw it away, it's tiring to use. Went back to the old Logitech K360.

    Pros
    • Good design, heavy and stable on the table. Convenient "pocket" for a smartphone in the front Connect via Bluetooth or proprietary Nano USB adapter
    Cons
    • To work with this keyboard, you need to select either Bluetooth or USB Nano. Simultaneous operation when connected via an adapter and Bluetooth is almost impossible. The Bluetooth connection will automatically pair with the paired device and disconnect the Nano. Switching K580 only works between bluetooth devices [2 ons], you can only disconnect from a bluetooth device (smartphone) on USB Nano through this smartphone. . Cursor ons (arrows) are extremely inconvenient, and do not allow you to do something without looking at them (by touch). The key travel is short, quite clear, but rattling. Under Android (Bluetooth), switching input languages ​​does not work - the standard [Ctrl-Space] does not work, others too. The keys are tightly pressed to each other, even after another Logitech keyboard (K360) you will have to get used to it. The layout is also different from the standard one (Mac labels are not a problem). There is NO doentation for the device both in the delivery and on the Logitech website. And it is really necessary, because. many functions are implemented through their own Fn + key combinations.

    Connects via one adapter with a mouse (also logitech), convenient. It can be used as a keyboard for a phone or tablet, but in fact it is an inconvenient solution, because. a long connection process, or always keep bluetooth on on your phone. And for some reason, redefinition of the F keys is enabled by default, I suffered with this until I found how to remove it.

    Pros
    • In general, the keyboard is of good quality. But a number of points make this purchase unsuccessful for me.
    Cons
    • Very thin bezel around the edge of the keyboard, especially in front of you and the start of the buttons. And the main headache is the arrow keys. I enclose a photo of this design impotence. It is not clear why these keys could not be made the same size. It's extremely inconvenient to use.

    I was surprised by the quality for this price.

    Happy with the purchase, no more wires on the table Its pros: Bluetooth wireless keyboard Keys are not loud good design Quality plastic Has a phone stand Some cons: You'll have to get used to the size, because. keyboard slightly smaller than standard keyboards

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

    Has pros: The keyboard is a bomb, I bought another one of the same for the dacha. Quiet, low, small, it works from one receiver with a Logitech mouse. learn double satisfaction). Cons below: There is not enough backlighting of the keys, I'm used to good on laptops

    In general, a good keyboard in the price-quality ratio. It doesn't roll on the table, it's not heavy and it's not light. For my taste, I still didn’t really like the rough plastic buttons, it’s aesthetically more pleasant to work with smoother ones, for example, like on Logitech Craft, but there the price is different. Also, when buying, I was embarrassed that there was no wire for recharging, but it turned out that this was not at all criminal. After more than a month of use, the battery has…

    Pros
    • - quiet keyboard; - low key travel; - looks stylish; - a convenient stand for a smartphone (although the presence of a stand did not affect the choice in any way, it turned out to be actually convenient to use it).
    Cons
    • - the keyboard is connected to 2 devices with windows OS, but one of the devices was defined as mac, respectively, the standard for windows "alt", "win" and other keyboard shortcuts work differently; - to understand what the problem of the first drawback is, you need to install the logitech options software.

    I don’t use my phone pocket, I didn’t check the bluetooth connection with the tablet, I didn’t understand how, but I don’t need it. For its price justifies its quality. Got pros: assembly is of high quality, quiet pressing, almost like on a laptop, island keyboard, all buttons are very compactly located, responds without freezing, there is no re-typing of keys, key sensitivity is very comfortable, short key travel is the main advantage for me, neighboring buttons do not interfere with fingers…

    Some pros: Keyboard adapted for macbook. And in this respect it is convenient - the layout is ALMOST the same (ctrl / fn are rearranged and there is no way to fix this) Has some cons: The buttons are not the most pleasant (A4TECH KV-300H is more pleasant). The scancodes of the keys with FN do not always correspond to the standard ones.

    Nothing unusual, a normal product.

    In general, if you do not take this situation and do not clean the keyboard, then this is a great keyboard. But if you are the same person as me snacking at your desk, then you may encounter a similar problem. With its pros: Quiet good response Ease of pressing Connecting multiple devices (not at the same time), this function is ultimately useless if you use it daily with a PC Function keys (plus and minus, since to take a screenshot you need to press two buttons instead of one, similarly with…

    The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

    So far, I don’t see any shortcomings, the keyboard connected to a macbook and an iPhone without usb, everything works, it prints norms, quietly, the layout is Makovskaya, there are 2022 letters. The only question is why was there another modification of the keyboard in the picture, without 2022 letters and without a key between the shift and Z? For me, this is not critical, since everything is the same on Russified poppies, but it may be important for someone.

    Pros
    • Wireless connection without the need for a USB adapter, Mac layout, compact size, the ability to connect two devices (laptop and phone), phone stand.
    Cons
    • The keyboard differs from what was in the picture in the MVideo online store (there was a non-Russified version hanging there) - in fact, the Russified keyboard came, the left shift was shortened, there is another key between the shift and Z.

    What infuriates her is that for some reason the place of the wine button was made start, they also signed buttons for poppy drives, a duplicated button for oblique sticks, something near the left shift. All this could be combined more conveniently By the way, logitechers with this keyboard proved that poppy drivers are not the most intelligent people for whom you need to not only sign a button on the keyboard, but also apply a picture :)

    Pros
    • - short stroke -working hours -sound (quiet rustling except space) - weight and stability - smartphone holder -Compatibility with other Logitech devices and the ability to work through one dongle
    Cons
    • - rattling left shift -button near the left shift (xs why at all) -strange first connection (the keyboard could not connect to either the dongle or the bluetooth for a long time, I had to rebind it)

    I bought it under a poppy pro, because. I can not get used to the clave from the poppy. For development, I didn’t reveal any problems, in fact it’s very convenient, pleasant clicks, intuitive location, it’s worth its price. Who says that it is very small - xs. Naturally, it differs from the standard one, but this is not as critical as it seems

    I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

    I put 4 only because of the short shift on the left, if it were at least a little more, it would be a solid 5 Has some pros: - key travel - low noise level - Ability to pair with 2 devices - if you have a Logitech mouse, then it is possible to "put" them with the keyboard for 1 whistle - convenient notch at the top of the keyboard (made for tablets and phones, but I keep a pen there) Some cons: - short shift on the left, it was possible to flip one key in the bottom row of letters from left to…

    The keyboard is comfortable, quiet, but do not try to spill anything on it, such as sweet coffee. It is difficult to disassemble to wash and dry, but you can (but it is not intended for this), but to assemble is already a problem. The front panel rests on plastic pins melted on the other side and when opened, they break off. We'll have to dance with a tambourine to figure out how to glue them back.

    Pros
    • Very comfortable and quiet!
    Cons
    • Non-separable!

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

    It is possible to quickly switch between two devices (for example, a laptop and a phone), but I have not found the use of this feature in my work. Got pros: It works both via a usb transmitter and via bluetooth, the second method is more convenient in my opinion, it works well, the signal does not disappear You can reassign the F1-F10 buttons through the application (pressing while holding Fn), hang up the functions you need, but by default there is sound and playback control. I reassigned the…

    The product is working, I will not repeat it for sure.

    Everything seems to be fine, EXCEPT for the fact that you don’t know when she herself wants to connect to the MacBook. Even an intentional Reset does not help her. I'm already thinking about beating her on the table. You sit like this for 40 minutes, poke into the bluetooth at random, at the 31st minute she decides that she wants to connect. And then, after 2 months, the keyboard is again like "No, perhaps, I don't want to connect here anymore." For this reason alone, I do not recommend it to…

    Pros
    • Comfortable, fairly quiet keys. There is NumLock.
    Cons
    • Connecting to a MacBook

    Satisfactory product quality, good price.

    I bought K580 for quiet keys and compact size. Together with the M330 Silent mouse, which did not live up to expectations at all in terms of silence. Unlike a mouse, the K580 is really quiet. The keys emit a slight rustle - it is very comfortable to work at night. Previously, I did not dare to take the K580 because of the price, which seemed too high for such a form factor. But perhaps within 5000 at the moment there are no alternatives, since I have already gone through a lot of options within

    Pros
    • Very quiet keys. Short, crisp key travel, very fast typing. This is similar to laptop keyboards, but the keys are even quieter and crisper than most of them. Including the spacebar, which can be quite loud on other "silent" keyboards. The ability to return the classic behavior of the F1 - F12 keys via Fn-lock , which is activated via Fn+Esc. Size and shape. It's really a slim keyboard, thin yet very stable on the table. Compact size without compromising the location of the main keys, which means better access to the mouse lying next to it and more freedom of movement for it. Place for a phone. Although in my case this place is more useful for storing a ballpoint pen or papers from which you can retype the text into a computer. Possibility of typing on the phone. There are reviews that talk about the inability to switch the input language. In fact, in Android, you need to go to the external keyboard settings and check the "2022" and "English" (or other languages) checkboxes there. Then switching will be available via Ctrl + Space (not via Fn + Space, which the built-in Android keyboard responds to immediately after connection, but without changing the input language)
    Cons
    • There are two significant drawbacks - these are special keys and the loss of pairing with a computer. Short left Shift , whose place is taken away by an unnecessary and incorrectly working ~`[] key. The key, for which the long Shift was sacrificed, prints the characters drawn on it only when switching to the Mac layout. In other cases, not the characters that are indicated on it are printed. Small "notebook" arrows "up" and "down", although structurally it would not cost anything to increase them, since the keyboard is for a PC, not a laptop. It was enough to move them three millimeters lower and increase the hands - this approach is found in competing models from other manufacturers. Accidentally pairing with two mobile devices can kill the ability to return to working with a keyboard on a computer! It was difficult to figure out how to restore communication with the computer on my own. And what's more, to restore pairing with the USB receiver, you will definitely need a Windows computer. Don't have one at hand? You will have to go to work or to a neighbor and install the Logitech Options software on it)) More details in the comments.

    A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

    Couldn't get used to the buttons. I've been working with thin scissor keyboards for a long time now, but this keyboard doesn't like the hard hitting that I get on my fingers at the end of the key sink. On other keyboards, this somehow happens softly, but here it’s like knocking on metal. Moreover, it is impossible to understand until you start working, if you just press it, it seems that the keys are soft. The stroke is really light, but there is not enough damping at the end of the key…

    Pros
    • Convenient reduced size in width. Quiet buttons.
    Cons
    • Short travel buttons with a hard stop at the end of the travel. A short left shift is inconvenient. Tiny "up" and "down" cursor buttons - a strange solution for a keyboard that is NOT built into a laptop (have you found a place?). Unnecessary duplicate button "|\" (as a result, castrated left shift) and the lack of a direct "screenshot" button. The same color for Cyrillic and Latin. Tiny designations for F1. F12. No grouping for F1. F12.
