For those eye-rolling at Logitech and griping that the thing should have a rechargeable battery instead, allow me to remind you of the $50 price tag. Two AAA batteries come pre-installed in the keyboard. The total time it took me to set it up-from opening the box to having paired the K480 with a Moto X, iPad Air and MacBook Air-was under five minutes. Pairing the keyboard requires you to set the dial to one of three available positions, press a corresponding key for device type, and follow normal Bluetooth pairing directions on your device. This is a nice change from many wireless keyboards made for use with just one device, like Logitech's own keyboards for iPad. Switching between paired devices is done using the selection dial located just above the escape key. It works with iOS, Mac, Windows and Android devices. The Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 is a wireless gadget that lets you use one keyboard to type input into multiple devices. I've grown accustomed to it as much as a human can. I jump from my phone to my tablet to my PC, jarring my muscle memory with every interaction, as each device has its own unique input method. All of these devices are placed on my desk in a forever-changing arrangement.Īs the day progresses and I receive various alerts and notifications, I find myself playing a game of musical devices. My daily routine when arriving at the office entails taking a smartphone out of my pocket, unpacking an iPad, and turning on my MacBook Air.
