Logitech 920-006342 Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480

Name: Logitech 920-006342 Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480
Brand: Logitech
SKU: 920-006342

Overview

The Logitech K480 Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard is built around one core idea: eliminating the hassle of switching input devices when you work across a computer, tablet, and smartphone. The Easy-Switch dial on the keyboard's upper-left corner is assigned to three Bluetooth channels, each paired to a different device. Turning the dial instantly redirects your keystrokes — no disconnecting, re-pairing, or app-switching required. This makes it particularly useful for workflows where you might type an email on your laptop, reply to a message on your phone, and reference notes on a tablet, all from the same seated position. The keyboard supports Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, Android, and iOS, so virtually any Bluetooth-enabled device in your setup is covered.

The integrated cradle running along the top edge of the keyboard holds phones and tablets up to 10 inches wide and 0.4 inches thick, propping them at a readable angle while you type. The layout includes shortcut keys for both Windows and Mac, packed into a compact footprint that eliminates the number pad but keeps the function row and essential navigation keys. Logitech rates the battery life at up to 24 months from two pre-installed AAA batteries, and a battery indicator light gives advance warning before they die. At 1.81 pounds and 12.2 x 7.91 inches, the K480 has a substantial desk presence — it feels stable during typing but is not designed to be tossed in a bag for travel. The spill-resistant construction adds a layer of durability for everyday desk use where coffee and water glasses tend to be nearby.
