Don't let batteries discourage you from the Logitech K380. I'd rather change batteries once every two years than have to re-charge my keyboard every few weeks. I've had both keyboards and I prefer the K380. Especially for the price which is even cheaper now than when this video was posted.
Also, when the internal battery of the apple's keyboard gets bad, it must be a pain to disassemble it to change it... as we know apple, they don't like us doing that.
The logitech keyboard batteries last for over 2 years in my experience. Logitech also states this. I've had mine since 2019, and I've never had to change the batteries.
I use the Logitech keyboard to switch between my apple phone, windows computer, and iPad. It’s very easy and connects very quickly. It’s an awesome keyboard!!!
I actually much prefer the Apple keyboard. I had both, but returned the Logitech because the keys are round and I just couldn't get over that fact. I do like the fact that Logitech is less than half the price of the Magic Keyboard and the fact that you can connect to multiple devices which saves time.
Thankfully the caps lock thing doesn’t bother me. and nor does the batteries so I’ve ordered a pink version of this keyboard. Along with the pebble mouse that goes with it. Thanks for the review x
Lol batteries in K380 are a really great thing. 2 batteries are enough for this keyboard to work for 2 years. 2 YEARS! And magic mouse need recharging and that's lame
Hi Brandy, thank you for your nice review. I have the Logitech K380, and swear by it. Regarding the batteries, they last up two years without needing to be recharged.
For the logitech keyboard, that capital letter signal isn't there so I resort to using Shift and whatever letter I want to capitalise to save time and not have to worry about wondering if the capital button is on or off. So I just keep it lowercase for me.
Its a bit silly, caps lock is such a weird functionality that is still around, like scroll lock. Or NumLock, where on MacOS it's actually just always on I guess.
Thank you so much 😊! In conclusion if you have a MacBook computer you don’t need to expand to much money in apple products, we have excellent choices like Logitech k380, is just perfect !
Got the K380 and it was an INSTANT let down. Of course it's subjective, but for me - the round keys are a terrible idea. I never in my life thought it would be such an annoyance. and to be clear, I'm typing all my life, I'm 34. The general idea is that because they are round you have less percentage of success rate in hitting the key you want... and I don't care how many years and what pro typing you have - you'll probably miss some keys due to this build up. Also, not all keys require the same pressure to press. so for example - the letters are stiffer in the travel.... while other keys are a bit less. my point is that the keys (letters) are not commutable to press on (regardless of the round keys which do make it even more annoying). Generally speaking, I think the K380 is some kind of gimmicky keyboard and it is much more worth it to get the Magic Keyboard for twice the price. just my 2 cents.
Dude, as with everything, it just needs some getting used to. I type no problem on k380 after some time. I love it because it's small, thin and super portable. The plastic material is scratch resistant and the whole thing is super durable, as testified by many who have used the keyboard for years
I prefer Microsoft Designer Compact keyboard, it's cheaper than Apple Magic, has the same stylish and minimalist design compare to Apple Magic keyboards, battery last up to 3 years, connect up to 3 devices, square keys not round keys, thinner and lighter than these two keyboards. But these keyboard use 4 2032 coin battery that not common, no height adjustment and too flat, and no backlight, and lastly no wireless dongle (only bluetooth)
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?
There’s also the fact that the Magic Keyboard’s built in battery will degrade over the years, meaning you’ll need to buy a new keyboard. I’d rather buy a bunch of batteries than having to trash a keyboard because it won’t hold a charge.
Does the white K380 get dirty easier? I still confused to choose whether the black or white one because I'm afraid the white one can be dirty/stain/yellow by time Thank you for your help!
Just bought a K2 but didn’t love it. Today I went to Best Buy and picked up a Logitech K380. Cost 40% of the Apple keyboard, same warranty, more responsive keys and easier BT connection. I’ll save the money and get over the caps lock indicator.
Logi keyboard its just esthetic and pretty, but at the beginning its a little uncomfortable to type in, bc its so little, and I have small hands, but I think its little, and the mouse logi also is uncomfortable but its pretty IDK! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
I’ve been looking for a keyboard for my iPad Air 2020 for ages as I refuse to buy the magic iPad one for £200+. I was looking between these two but decided to go with the apple one to match all my other apple products I also bought it for £82 U.K. bargain x
The Magic Keyboards it's loud as hell and has a build-in battery, so if that die, you need to buy another one...good luck with that. With the Logitech, just buy new batteries...
Hii I have a question:) So I know you can connect 3 devices on the logitech keyboard, but what if you want to switch out one of the devices and connect the assigned number to another device? Are you able to that? And if I am able to change it, how do you do it? I really wanted to know this since I'm getting this keyboard in a few days and I want to try this on more than 3 devices :)
Why would it affect the WiFi connection? It connects via Bluetooth and Bluetooth is a different type of connection that WiFi. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
I have the money, still don't buy it because it's simply not practical. Logitech works with Windows and Android too. Apple doesn't. That's such a big plus!

How light is the keys on k380? Do you get tired if you type a lot?
Great review! I would choose the Logitech - more affordable, no need for charging, seamless switching from MacBook to ipad :)
Can it be used with Android tablet too?
@@dishasarkar.haven.inkonhearts Yes
The logitech keyboard batteries last for over 2 years in my experience. Logitech also states this. I've had mine since 2019, and I've never had to change the batteries.
Do you use it for Mac and Windows? I need to switch between two laptops - one of each of these. Any experience with that?

How is round keys bad?
does logitech keys are hard to press? i have logitech k380s and keys take extra pressure to press
Awesome review, thank you!! K380 seems like a great choice!! Ordering it! :)

Same here, I just do Shift and then the letter I want to capitalise which saves time and I love how the typing is subtle yet satisfying.
Logitech battery life is 2 years

@@dishasarkar.haven.inkonhearts its Bluetooth so i don't see why not :)
Thank you, this video was very helpful and informative for me. The quality was also very good for such a small channel.

@@artelisx haha yes ofc I don't capitalise in informal chats but yeah as a masters student unfortunately I do 😂
@@artelisx yeah, it's me

Excellent review. Just one caveat though, for Apple Magic keyboard when battery dies the keyboard dies. That's not the case with Logitech K380
@Parikshit Panwar it becomes a wired keyboard after 4-5 years when battery no longer works

“Gimmicky” bruh the K380 is 30 bucks, you get what you pay for lol

Nice try apple 🤣 I am jk
Also do you touch type ? It makes a big difference. It could be your typing that's causing it
Thank you so much, the comparisons were straight to the point…

Really good comparison!

Never understood why the enter button is smaller, than the right shift button. Looks weird for me
hello so expensive the magic keyboard, duh.. and i just found out it's disposable after the battery dies.. not even rechargeable?!
correction:
With logitech options you can see the icon on the screen. (Maybe that was what have you meant with the "look at the screen" part)
In the logitech keyboard, the battery lasts for more than six month. Much better than charging your keyboard every week.
Great review! ❤️
exactly what I need , thank you a lot for sharing
does logitech keys are hard to press? i have logitech k380s and keys take extra pressure to press
I think the batteries aren't a problem for the logitech K380. Much more hate charging the magic keyboard every other day.
You won’t be charging it that often. More like once a month if that. Possibly even better depending on your usage.
There’s also the fact that the Magic Keyboard’s built in battery will degrade over the years, meaning you’ll need to buy a new keyboard. I’d rather buy a bunch of batteries than having to trash a keyboard because it won’t hold a charge.
Does the white K380 get dirty easier?
I still confused to choose whether the black or white one because I'm afraid the white one can be dirty/stain/yellow by time
Thank you for your help!
No, not at all, and if it is, it'll be very easy to clean (I've used the white one for 6 months)
I just bought a keychron and I think I would have been happier with that flatter vibe of these two. 🙏
Just bought a K2 but didn’t love it. Today I went to Best Buy and picked up a Logitech K380. Cost 40% of the Apple keyboard, same warranty, more responsive keys and easier BT connection. I’ll save the money and get over the caps lock indicator.
I bought the Logitech MX keys for MAC it has backlit keyboard and much more better than Apple Keyboard.
I have the black one. What I hate and don’t understand is why they switched the Fn button for the control.
Great video! thanks for sharing.
Logi keyboard its just esthetic and pretty, but at the beginning its a little uncomfortable to type in, bc its so little, and I have small hands, but I think its little, and the mouse logi also is uncomfortable but its pretty IDK! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
i use this one for mobile use
Great review :)
hii if its ok to ask what did u search to get ur laptop wallpaper?
What's the name of your macbook stand?
is there a "home" and "end "button there?
I’ve been looking for a keyboard for my iPad Air 2020 for ages as I refuse to buy the magic iPad one for £200+. I was looking between these two but decided to go with the apple one to match all my other apple products I also bought it for £82 U.K. bargain x
or spend 30£ for the same experience with some minor details missing...
The Magic Keyboards it's loud as hell and has a build-in battery, so if that die, you need to buy another one...good luck with that. With the Logitech, just buy new batteries...
Well done vid!
The QWERTYUIO keys don’t work sometimes (and sometimes the #1 & #2 keys) on my apple keyboard. What’s up with that?
Does the ESC button on Logitech keyboard work properly when you use it with your macbook?
Yes it does.
Yes works with my mac Air.
CanI know where did u purchased the iPad stand raiser from
Hii I have a question:)
So I know you can connect 3 devices on the logitech keyboard, but what if you want to switch out one of the devices and connect the assigned number to another device? Are you able to that? And if I am able to change it, how do you do it? I really wanted to know this since I'm getting this keyboard in a few days and I want to try this on more than 3 devices :)
just press the button that youd like to use for 3 seconds
my k380's 'a' and 'n' buttons stopped working for me within 2 weeks of use. wouldn't recommend it at all
Oh no baby girl you shouldn't have given away the Logitech because those batteries last for 2 yrs!!
Best choice 👌👍😎
Logitech Keyboard battery will last 2 years.
Yes minimum, I haven't changed since 3 years with good usage
my k380 suddenly stop working properly after mac os bug sur update
nice video , thank for sharing
I really want to get a 24 in m1 imac with an ipad and maybe iphone mini 12
Does the Logitech keyboard affect the WiFi and Bluetooth connection?
Why would it affect the WiFi connection? It connects via Bluetooth and Bluetooth is a different type of connection that WiFi. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
No it should not impact either connection.
i would go with APPLE i always go with apple my bank account is crying
You have nice hands
logi is better
All these people saying the Logitech is better 🤣
If you had the money for the the magic keyboard I guarantee you would buy it
No
Maybe if Apple makes different colors for their keyboards, otherwise that’s a hard no
I have the money, still don't buy it because it's simply not practical. Logitech works with Windows and Android too. Apple doesn't. That's such a big plus!
The Logitech is considered better cuz 1) - more colors and 2) very imp- can connect to multiple device rapidly.
I have the money. And I buy the Logi
☕️
