Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 For Cross-Platform Computer, Smartphone and Tablet Typing

Logitech, a company with a strong track record of making some excellent keyboards and mice, has unveiled the Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480. This is the first desk keyboard designed for use with up to three devices, regardless of computing platform.

For example, with the K480 you can type a report on your computer and, with the flick of the “Easy-Switch” dial, respond to a message on your smartphone. Flick again and type a tweet on your tablet. Since the K480 keyboard can connect to three different Bluetooth wireless devices at once, whether you are using a Windows, Mac, or Chrome OS computer, or an Android or iOS tablet or smartphone.

“Typing needs have evolved, and consumers are computing and texting across multiple screens, often using two or three different operating systems,” says Charlotte Johs, global vice president of computer peripherals at Logitech. “The Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 makes it simple for people to work, create or communicate quickly and comfortably, no matter what computing device or platform they are using.”

With K480 you can type in full-size desk keyboard comfort with a familiar keymap layout and the shortcut keys you use most. The integrated device stand holds your phone or tablet at the right angle for you to read while you type, and with a choice of two color schemes, the keyboard is designed to blend into your home decor without sacrificing style.
