Logitech K780 vs K380 | Still the best multi-device Bluetooth wireless keyboards in 2024

- What are the differences between Logitech K380 vs K780 keyboards? Apart from the numeric keyboard, they might look the same, but they are actually very different.
In this video, we will specifically go through the difference between the two keyboards. Features of each keyboard are not covered in this video as there are many other videos covering those features. Till today in 2024, Logitech K780 and K380 are still the best multi-device keyboards that allow us to instantaneously switch between computer, tablet and phone across Mac, iOS and Android.
One feature I used often on the K780 which is not available on the K380 is the print screen capture on Windows feature. Demonstration of this feature in the video.
Personally, my everyday-carry keyboard is the Nulaxy Km12 Bluetooth keyboard, which I will showcase at the end of this video. For me, the Logitech K380 is a little too small to be used as a desktop office keyboard, and a little too big to be used as an everyday-carry keyboard.

Hi everyone, I have just published a video comparing Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard with these Logitech keyboards. ua-cam.com/video/F1aE55dTKPY/v-deo.html It's a nice and slim keyboard that does not compromise on the key sizes, thinner than Logitech K380.
you can use win+L for lock screen and win+shift+S for the build in screenshot tool which is better as you can select specific regions. And also you can draw on it right away by clicking the notification popup when you take a screenshot, or opening it in action center.
Oh wow! I didn't know those windows short cut. I just tried them out and yes they are very useful. We can do that on any keyboard. Thanks for sharing this tip with everyone! 👍
@@SkyPerspective I thought you said you were a windows power user? :/
Hi mortalsting there are definitely many more users that are more knowledgeable than me. I am a power user, but quite humbly, I don't think I am an expert. Glad we are all sharing knowledge with each other. 😊
@@SkyPerspective just use lightshot.
It will make your life easier...
@@SkyPerspective If you are not an expert, you are not a power user. Because then you are just a windows user. Thanks for making my point!
The thing I love about the K380 is the size. I travel a lot and it fits in my case for my Ipad Pro and being able to switch from a laptop to an Ipad in a sec is a dream come true.

I have just published a new video comparing the Logitech K380 with the Nulaxy KM12 keyboard. ua-cam.com/video/8jKWH1vplhM/v-deo.html It's the keyboard shown at the end of this video. Enjoy!
I appreciate the "content first, channel information second" approach to your video. I stayed to the end because your good content earned my time. Thank you.
Hi Leron, I really appreciate feedback like this, it helps me make better videos for all of us. Thanks so much.
I gave a like just for this.
Same here
Me too
I see this is a small channel, still gave me the information I needed. Subscribed.
Thank you very much Hector, glad my video is useful. May I know which part of the video is providing the information that you find useful?
Thank you for this helpful comparison! I also salute how graceful you are when answering salty comments.
Oh really? Which comment was that? I haven't noticed (or tasted 😄) any salty comment so far.
You explained things very well, and you're very nice in the comments. Hoping that your channel grows even more!
Hi Andrea, Thank you so much for your support! Really nice to get this feedback.
Thank you so much for making this video! It really helped me figure out which product to buy. You explained important differences, that were not described elsewhere, despite my extensively researching these keyboards (and a few others. TYSM!
Hi Celestine, thanks for your wonderful feedback. That's exactly the purpose of my video, to share topics that I find important that are not found in other videos. Glad you found them useful. Which other keyboards are you also considering?
Loved the fast content delivery,!!!!!genuine and simple
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it!
This was the most detailed review I could find on UA-cam. Keep it up man. Great work 💯
Oh wow! Thanks for the great feedback.
Also thanks for keeping the promotion at the end. And we do still watch it.
Great content! I respect your presentation choices. I hope you continue to make these videos. Subscribed!
It's really nice to received such feedback. Thanks for letting me know you like my presentation choice.
Just stuck between the selection of these 2 keyboard s for a while. You helped me out. I really liked the k380 for its tiny compact size but I know at the end of the day I need those numeric keypad for atleast shortcuts for many professional designers softwares.
Hi, thanks for letting me know that my video is helpful to you. This makes it all worthwhile. Yes after all k380 is a keyboard on the go. It's really cramp when typing for long. K780 is a great full size complete keyboard. I am sure you will like it. Enjoy your new keyboard.
I really enjoy the way that you compare and describe these to keyboards. It’s a very concise and yet thorough review that is spoken from the perspective of an everyday user who is not a professional reviewer with an agenda to sell or indorse an affiliate link/product. It comes off as genuine and helpful. I also really appreciate your “content first, channel promotion later” method of delivery. As someone who does research on tech before purchase, this makes the task much more efficient. Keep up the good work and consider me subscribed!❤
thank you for making this video! I have been comparing this exact 2 models (since other videos compares 380 vs 480) and you came with the perfect explanation on every questions on my mind.
Oh really? 😄 Very glad this video helped you. Feel free to ask me anything if you have questions about the keyboard. I enjoy making videos for all of you. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi, have you tried the k480? Do you know if the layout and width is the same as the K780?
I have a K780 and I’m looking for a Keyboard without the Keypad but not a smaller size or layout of the rest of the keys
San Francisco is a new subbie! Thank you for your review!
sure, I like the fact that you put your chanel promotion at the end I had to watch it
Hi George, thank you so much for the reminder on this. I prioritise delivering useful info to my viewers so much that now in my recent videos I didn't even promote my channel at all, not even at the end. I think I will make it a short and sweet channel promotion in future videos. Thanks a lot for your feedback, its really helpful.
Good content and appreciate how fast you deliver thanks! 👍🏼
Glad you liked it and thanks for letting me know. Appreciate it.
Very good video. Useful information to know. Thank you. 👌🏽
Thanks for your time dropping this feedback.
Content-first rocks. Way to go!
Excellent review! I was looking these two.
Glad I could help!
Great review!! Thank you for creating this content!! Very helpful!
Hi Kevin, thanks for your feedback letting me know. Appreciate it!
One of the best content delivery channel on youtube.
Wow! that's a huge compliment! Thank you very much!
K380 does has delicated function key for print screen... Just use Fn + Tab key.. Perhaps u miss this part... While for screen lock, just use combination of Start + L keys, it works on all keyboards.
Good point 👌🏽. Thank you.
Just a note, on the 780 Fn Tab shows open apps.
How can I do to cut the screen?
@@MARQUITOSGUALACBA just window use the fn + alt + tab, for a custom cut use the shift + start + S
@@emailatomic so press `start+tab` instead you will see open apps too
Great review on both keyboards!
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes completely agree regarding the key size. I found my hands feeling cramped.
If you want something portable then go for the K380 but the compromise is smaller key size and comfort.
I ended up getting the Logitech K580
Hi gshocked, thanks for sharing your experience. I didn't know the existence of K580 until you mentioned it. It looks really nice. Does it type well? Much better than K380 round keys?
The smaller one is more comfortable when I use it from the bed, on my TV and doesn't take much space if I want to lay it down on my side. I use a mechanical full size keyboard for office work though.
I wanted the 580, but only comes for the chrome compromising the rest of supported oses
You are delightful, Thanks for the info on the keyboards. :)
Welcome. Glad you like it. Thanks for your feedback
i really enjoy the style of your videos!! please continue :)
Hi Vivian, I really appreciate your support and feedback. I get lots of views and likes on my video, but not sure what my viewers like about the style of my video. If you don't mind, could you let me know what is it that you like about my style? Is it my content delivery pace, or the content relevance, or just my personal style and product choice, or all of these? My channel is growing well, and I really enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone. Thank you very much.
@@SkyPerspective I like that u put all the main points and highlights at the beginning of the video and all the other extra things at the end, it makes me want to watch til the very end because of that. When youtubers put ads/promos/etc. scattered throughout their video, I usually end up skipping to the end or just exiting completely. You were very straight forward too which is always good!
@@vivianw675 Thank you so much for giving me such precise update. Thanks a lot, now I know. I have just made my next video using the same style - content first, channel promotion last. Seems like quite a few of you are liking this format. Hope many more others can also indicate they like this.
Awesome and straight to the point
Hi Parnav Wakade, thanks so much for subscribing and letting me know. Glad you enjoyed the video.
my biggest gripe with k380 is that it losses connection after my pc shutsdown OR i switch to my device. I had to reconnect it every time i use it which means i have to remove my windows password otherwise i won't be able to get it. the peeble mouse is doing just fine in my pc. could it be my generic usb receiver? i don't know
Great video. Thanks for the insight.
Hi Mauro, Thanks for your feedback.
Some people are really good at finding the little nubs on the f and J to find home.. Owning the 780 it has a nice feel to it but compared to other keyboards I have a harder time finding home with the flat circular buttons than a keyboard that has the little ergonomic scoops. Could be just me.
Great video... I have the K780 and was wondering if I should buy the K380 as a travel keyboard... This is the only video that actually answered that question! Hope your channel grows well 🙏🏽
Hi Ashirali Wellness, Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so happy my videos are helping so many of you. My channel is growing pretty well. Thanks to everyone's support. 😊👍
@@SkyPerspective 🙏
Thank you for sharing this content.
You are very welcome. Thanks for making the effort to comment. I appreciate it.
wow I like your video, thanks for that just looking for a semi portable keyboard that I can use between multiple devices has anything changed since you are using the one presented?
Glad you like the video. If you are talking about the K380, check out these couple of videos below.
I went with the Microsoft designer compact keyboard to replace the squeaky key of the K380, but eventually the micosoft broke as well. Maybe I am too rough with my keyboards. Hahaha....
ua-cam.com/video/O3WTiIdE7TA/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/F1aE55dTKPY/v-deo.html
Both keyboards are great. Let me know if you still cannot decide.
Thumb down as you have not answered main question how do I connect a mouse and make sure it is got switched together with keyboard? I do not wanna swtich twice especially mouse won't have 3 additional keys.
Useful video. Thank you.
Thanks for taking time to feedback.
Great video editing. Good explanation. This would have been so much better without the music in the background.
@yyarin, thank you so much for letting me know about the music. Very valuable feedback. I have always been wondering if I should just do the video without any background music. Maybe I will try that next time.
I just got an iPad Air 4 with the magic keyboard case, and I love it, but I also want to have raised as a desk option, with a stand, keyboard and mouse. Is this smaller keyboard and mouse really all it’s cracked up to be? It seems to get really good reviews… Does it work well with the iPad?
Hi Donavan, the Nulaxy Keyboard is a really good on-the-go keyboard. I like it because it's small compact and minimalist. It function well as a keyboard, and I am typing on it to reply to your comment now at a Cafe. Connects well if you give it only one single dedicated device, not multi devices. Battery last very very long, I can't remember when was the last time I charged this thing. I won't use too much function keys and short cut commands on this keyboard though because it's too fiddly, general typing... it's great. I have an idea to do a video comparing the K380 and this Nulaxy Keyboard, hopefully can get to that video soon.
Appreciate your idea of content first and promotions later just because of that I converted my like to Like + Sub. Keep up the good work.
Hi Rudresh, I really appreciate your feedback. Now I know this new way makes a difference to at least one of you 😄. You are the first to subscribe to my channel from this video. Thank you so much for your support.
@@SkyPerspective no worry bro 😁 v keep up the good work
I just got the K780 and I like it. I like how silent it is, but I do find that there are some elements that I am still getting used to. I am coming from a legacy K350; I say "legacy" as I have had probably four of them at work and home offices over the years, so I grew accustomed to them. But as they are not upgradable, it is time to move on.
The main issue I have on the K780 versus the K350 is the "instant sleep" key. I cannot find any shortcut or equivalent. I used that sleep key 12 times a day, at least. It saves a bit of energy, and helpfully pauses music, video, everything goes quiet instantly, and more. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your perscpective about these keyboards
You are very welcome. Thanks for your comment.
I tend to love the more chicklet / laptop style keycaps. I've always had issues using the square tops (standard) keycaps on most mechanicals. I was thinking that switching the keycaps would be more ideal for me. Would these resemble the feel of more traditional membrane keyboards today or?
Hi Tama, yes both these Logitech K780 and K380 are very much membrane keyboards. They are very close to typing on those membrane keys on most laptops.
You can Look to MX Keys or there is a cheap A4 tech FX60H , which I also liked as a feel.
Thanks for leaving the promotion for the end 👍
Thanks for the feedback. After even more videos, I am shortening my channel promotion, and sometimes not even promoting my channel at all. 😄
@@SkyPerspective I couldn't have done it better myself. Compared to those channels who hound you with promotions and demands the moment you click on the thumbnail this is a very welcome change. Buena fortuna my friend 👍.
@@Louyark Thank you so much for the encouragement. Feel free to suggest any improvements you might have for my videos too.
Great video that dont puch your personality waaaay to much
Gg keep doing your way
Thank you so much for this valuable feedback. I have taken note of that.
Very helpful
Screenshot K380 - fn+start+tab (the file on your picture folder - screenshot)
Thank me later 😁
Wow! There are so many quick tips like this that I didn't know. Thanks for sharing with everyone. 👍
@@SkyPerspective 😁👍
Very informative
Thanks
on your desk, i recommend the k780, espcially if you're using logitech flow for multiple devices. the unifying receiver switches over the mouse and keyboard to a different PC without skipping a beat. it would truly feel like the two computers are one. Bluetooth sometimes has a few second delay and sometimes the keys don't respond well for up to half a minute. the best approach for dual PC setup is to use two flow enable devices on two unifying receivers.
Win + L can be used to lock the screen and fn + L to suspend it, the screenshot in the 380 is the fn + tab and for window the fn + alt + tab; a trick for both models, use fn + caps lock for do scroll lock and fn + B for do the pause/break
Thanks for sharing this information.
Thanks for sharing.
Just curious that how you guys clean the white rubber part after months of use?
Just run my vacuum nozzle across the groove.
I'm not looking to get a keyboard for office work, but rather to serve used with the TV. I already have a good mechanical keyboard for office work! The K380 is much smaller, which fits my needs better.
You should probably go for k400plus
Also printing?
I also thought seriously about getting the K380 but in the end went with the K780 because of the phone stand feature. The only negative to me is that it is larger and heavier, so for my travel I bring a very lightweight keyboard from Arteck.
Hey woofinu, glad to know you have the same preference as me going for the K780. Yes it's quite a long keyboard that occupies a lot of desk space. I have found a better solution to reclaim that number pad desk space when we don't need the number pad. I am demonstrating this solution in my next video and will share here when the video is launched.
@@SkyPerspective You mentioned somewhere that you are a "power user" of Windows and the K780. When you have time, can you make a video of those power user features? I have looked at your video on tips and tricks, but that's more about how to use your left hand to press keys more effectively. I am interested in learning about all the key combinations.
@@woofinu Another great suggestion. Thanks for giving me all these good video ideas. I like to find keyboard short cuts for all the application I used to be more productive, so yes I can make a video on that. I can share the short cuts I use everyday on apps like google docs and zoom. Might need to wait a while because I have other videos I am currently working on. Thanks again.
Can you do fn lock in logitech option? I'm concerning about this, I've once stressed heavily about this on my working Acer laptop, and about to make a purchase decision, a small all in one keyboard
Hi Christian, what do you mean by function lock in logitech option? Do you mean switching between using F1 - F12 as standard function keys and as hot keys? If yes, the answer is yes there is a checkbox for us to select that option in the Logitech Option app. Hope this helps.
Hi can you help me if i really need to press f2 for my desktop what key do i need to press? Because everytime i press f2 they keep transfer the bluetooth i need the f2 function for reboot my desktop 🖥️ computer please help
Press the fn key together with the f2 key. Hope this helps.
.Qué tal es la experiencia al usar los números? Es complicado? Para los chicos y tareas del colegio
Does the k380 automatically reconnects to a laptop as soon as you turn it on (providing that you've already paired them before), or you need to reconnect the keyboard again in the settings?
Yes, it does automatically reconnect to the last device it was connected to previously. It's connected to my Macbook most of the time and I never switch off my K380. Whenever I turn on my Macbook, the keyboard will be working straight away for me to type my password to unlock my MacBook.
@@SkyPerspective Great! Thank you so much!
Genuine review. It is very useful to me
Hi jaikrishnan sathish, thanks for your feedback. It's nice to know the video is useful to you.
I’m about to have the exact same setup! I have the M720 and Samson Meteor too lol
Hey PG [Blanks], looks like we have very similar choices of gears. I just checked out your video and left a comment.
Good review. Probably worth considering picking up the pacing of the delivery a bit. It feels a little slow for me.
Hey Kelvin, thanks a lot for the feedback. Will speed up a little in future videos.
i like it slow in a fast paced world
Hi BeanRichard thanks for the feedback.
Having the same dilema. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome. Both of them are good. I am starting to use my K380 with a separate numeric pad. I just bought the Microsoft Bluetooth number pad. Will be doing a video soon.
I have k380 and i like it as it reduces arm travel for operating mouse. And for shortcuts why don’t you use windows+l for lock and windows+ctrl+s for snipping tool. Also you missed the screen capture option at tab key on the k380. And if you use logitech options you can program four of top row keys adjacent to three pairing keys.
It's a good point that k380 reduce arm travel to reach the mouse. Very true. Thanks for the information. Many other viewers have taught me about Win+ctrl+s and Win+L commands after I posted the video. Glad I learn something new from all of you. Thanks for sharing.
Good review, helps us all make informed decisions - which is the whole reason for searching UA-cam for reviews :-)
Hi Channel Name, thank you very much for your nice words. Glad you found this video useful.
@@SkyPerspective Not sure what happened with my name, seems like it reset itself..." Channel Name"... ha!
@@Setright That's interesting. I just checked the automatic email notification from your above original comment. Yes in that email it says "Channel Name" as your channel name. 😄Anyway, nice to meet you Emil, I am Richard.
Se puede configurar para cuando se toque el 1 en el teclado se cambie el mando al dispositivo al dispositivo 1 tanto el teclado como el mouse (sin tener q tocar el 1 en el mouse)?
I have a real problem with the 780 volume getting stuck at the high or low position several times per day. I have to switch the little power switch on the side to reset it.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I wonder how many of us users have such issues with keys getting stuck.
Thank you!
Welcome. Thanks for dropping this message. I appreciate it.
K780 Not compatible with Flow because they removed support with logitech options +. I don't understand what happend.
Hey David, yes you are right. We need to install the old version of the Logitech Option app in order to use Flow. I am still using Flow right now with with my K780 across my two laptops running Logitech Option app (old version). The new Logitech Option+ app still hasn't support Flow as of today.
Also it looks like the version of K380 you had also has the screenshot shortcut feature its "fn + start + tab" and as some comments said you can also use "start + L" to lock and "start + shift + s" to screenshot... imo "start + shift + s" is a bit more versatile than the print screen button
Hi VenomWeed, thanks for sharing this information with all of us.
I would like to see test K380 vs new K380s, but also compare it with K780, is it now improved. I notice that new K380s keys are little bigger or the is more space between them, so maybe now it's regular size.
I am also looking forward to test K380s out, once I get my hands on it. Good to know my audience is also waiting.
do you prefer wireless keyboards or keyboard cases? what do u recommend for university students?
Hi Vivian, all my keyboards, at home, at office, and on the go, are all wireless keyboards. When you study at uni, you want a keyboard that just works for you, so go with a reliable brand like Logitech. Logitech spend a lot on their testing to make sure their keyboard works well on different platform / devices. Keyboards like Nulaxy (the one I showed at end of video) can be quite fiddly because it's a generic bluetooth keyboard. It's ultra portable, that's why I don't mind a bit of set up inconvenience.
I have gone through your full video review on keyboards... I will still choose K380 over K780 because I use Macbook Pro 13", iPad/iPhone and Lenovo laptop...
Anyway, thanks for the review.
Speed up a little bit if you can, just feedback, thanks..
Hi Arun, wise choice! If you want a good portable keyboard that can switch across all your device especially when you have Apple and Windows laptops, then yes K380 is the best choice. Thanks very much for your feedback, I really appreciate all these suggestion. I will see if I can speed up without making it feel rushed. I am still learning.
Good indepth comparison.
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
Hi, What is the battery life on K380 if I never switch of keyboard separately
It lasted about 10 months for me with normal Eveready cell batteries, not alkaline battery. I don't normal switch it off, and type on it everyday. Hope this helps.
Can you review the MIIIW K02 Dual-Mode Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard vs Logitech K780? Thank you!!
Hi giogii86, your message came 2 days late. I just bought a new keyboard, so most likely won't be able to do the review. Furthermore, I tried to search for it, MIIIW K02 is only for sale in the US and not in Australia. Don't think I can get the MIIIW K02 in Australia. Is there anything great about this keyboard? It looks pretty ordinary.
I also notice it only works with only 2 devices, Windows and MacOS. That's interesting because we usually have either Windows user group or MacOS user group, seldom a user who uses both MacOS and Windows at the same time.
The K375s also can be an option if you don't want use full the logitech option+
If we compare logitech 580 with dell km7120w... Which one is better?
I haven't used the logitech K580 before. I remembered I didn't buy that is because it only has 2 multi-device connections, and 3 is not enough for me already (PC1, PC2, tablet, phone). Dell km7120w has standard 3 device connections. The other thing obviously is that the K580 has phone and tablet holder if you don't already have holders. So these are the two main differences you have to consider for your own usage situation. The Logitech Options app and Dell Peripheral Manager apps are both quite customisable, so by and large, they are about the same.
Have you tried connecting the same keyboard (Let's say the K780) to two devices simultaneously and switch from device to device?
I mean like connecting a monitor to two computers and just switch the source to see one computer or the other?
Hi Hector, I have not tried that before. Maybe someone who has tried that can share how to do that.
If I am not wrong, a docking station like this maybe what you are looking for:
www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-docking-station-wd19s-180w/apd/210-azcf/pc-accessories
I have used this keyboard daily since about 2016. I switch between my (windows) office setup (as in a physical office building) where they don’t let you install drivers etc and with my iPhone and iPad. They all change seamlessly with no lag whatsoever. The dongle that comes with it allows me to use it at work. Bluetooth connection sorts the Apple set up. It’s the best keyboard I’ve used and I take it to each new job. I support the set up with the Logitech triathlon mouse, so I can switch between screens. That wasn’t part of your question, but it’s a very good workflow and I couldn’t be without it.
Where to get a compatible mouse for multi devices as well since the keyboard doesn't come with a mouse
I am using Logitech M720 which is a multi device mouse as well. It can switch up to 3 devices like this keyboard video. Switching devices on keyboard and mouse are separate. I have an old video demonstrating the device switch. ua-cam.com/video/fGd2O3LlAfk/v-deo.html
what about k 480 ?
What mouse do you pair your keyboard with?
Hi Sulaiman, I am using the logitech M720 triathlon mouse. This is also a multi-device switching mouse. I made a video on this mouse and K780 some time ago. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/fGd2O3LlAfk/v-deo.html
I have the K380 keyboard and I think it’s great. To take print screen I just use fn+tab. Easy and simple 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing
Home button??? is it the best keyboard available for Windows? suggestion please
Hi Prajwal, it depends on what you are looking for. Everyone's typing preference is quite different. If you like short key travel and have multi devices like a computer, a tablet and a phone, this is a pretty good choice as a Windows keyboard. Yes the Window Key (Home) is available on this keyboard. There are also other Logitech Keyboards that are pretty good too. Or you can look at Microsoft's or Dell's keyboards.
hi! you can take a screenshot with the k380 clicking fun + tab
there is the same icon but in a different place!
Hi Rodrigo, Thanks for letting me know. Yes I learn this after I uploaded the video. All of you are so helpful. Thanks for sharing. Will be making another k380 video next soon.
@@SkyPerspective thx from Brazil
Does this keyboard has brightness keys or not ?
Hi Prasanna, no, both these keyboards does not have backlit keys and does not have keys to adjust screen brightness.
I recommend Logitech MX Keys or MX Keys mini.
can't get the battery cover off
can you use the triatlon and the k780 whit one unifying reciber?
Yes we can. We can set that option in the logi software.
K780 with M720 , both using bluetooth to the phone is excellent .
( i never touch the screen )
i have not used the usb dongle .
Hi. Can you recommend a wireless keyboard and mouse combo which are both multi device?
Hi Tyn B, sure, happy to help. Depending on your preference, you can consider Logitech mk850, the Logitech Pop Keys and Pop mouse, or the high-end Logitech MX Combo. These are the links.

@@SkyPerspective Thank you so much. Ill check these out!
You are welcome. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.
Thanks!, useful info, I've been a while behind a 780... And then noticed the 380... Awesome to know the key size difference and how it feels 😁👍🏼
A Hi from Colombia 🇨🇴
My doubt now is about the weight, given that the 780 has a solid tablet stand and it's heavier... But how much heavier? (BTW, could you tell me?)
Hi Checho Matiz, nice to hear from you all the way from Colombia. 😄
I forgot to cover the weight of the keyboards, thanks for asking this.
The weight of both the keyboards are very different. K780 weights a hefty 875g (30.86oz) to keep it's stability to hold tablets. K380, designed for portability, weights only 423g (14.92oz). K380 is only half the weight of K780.
Nice video, so first thing is your shortcut keys are really old-fashioned use these. for locking windows key + l and for all sort of sceren grabs shift + windows + S and you get lots of options. even better use share x
Yes, thanks. Others have shared the same shortcut. Thanks for sharing.
For me the best portable keyboard is the Microsoft Foldable Keyboard.
Bought it 2 years ago but am not sure if it is still produced
Pls help me cani use k380 on my ipad 9generation.
?
Hi Yes you should be able to connect. Press and hold on to device 2 button till it flashes. In the Bluetooth settings, set your iPad to Bluetooth pairing mode and search for the K380. Select the k380 and it should just connect.
Might ask you to key in some text on the keyboard.
@@SkyPerspective thank you very much. God bless you.
What about K580?
I hate k380, my computer got a bsod I can't make the standard fn key to work. It was on standard key, I have to use my dell to operate it. I almost threw it out the window.
Can you please share how you edit videos?
Hi Vinay A, of course, I am happy to share my experience. I take the videos using my galaxy note 10 phone, upload it to my computer and edit the videos using HitFilm express. Is this what you are asking for or would you like me to explain more? Feel free to connect with me via my social media handles. Search 1skyperspective on Twitter and Instagram.
What Bluetooth mouse do you recommend for an iPhone?
If you want a simple mouse, I recommend Logitech M350 pebble mouse see this video: ua-cam.com/video/sKQm-NwJV0M/v-deo.html
things missing due to small size can be easily solved by assigning different functionalities to the 4 programmable keys f4 to f7 using the logitech options keystroke assignment feature
Hi Gaganpreet Singh, thanks for sharing all these information with all of us. And I presume you are refering to programming these f4 to f7 in the Logitech Options software yah? I will check that out. So glad to get all these useful information from many of you.
I have and like both. I wish K380 is a bit wider so you wouldn't need to crouch to type.
K780 is heavy, and I don't need the number pad.
Both are good.
Hi K L, yes I feel the same. In a way, K380 is not small enough compared to my Nulaxy Keyboard, and not big enough because the keys are too narrow. Both are still great keyboard though.
