Best keyboard for the iPad - Logitech K380 vs. Magic Keyboard?

[@makeupbykifana]

I have the K380. I know what you mean about the keys having a sink/indentation in them that your fingers just fit into! Thanks for the review!

[@MindyC]

Yeah! Glad to know you understand what I mean 😍 thanks for watching!

[@MindyC]

Thank you for watching and for your nice comments!!! 😍

[@AmitBatra]

On K380, use Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to change display brightness

[@raskarl]

Nice pro tip. I used to have this keyboard.

[@benjaminvanlalvena]

does not work on ipados for me

[@AmitBatra]

@@benjaminvanlalvena agreed. This works on macOS and that too, you need to have Logitech Options software installed.

Thank you!

[@pacoparra7055]

Thanks for the video! Here in Mexico prices are a turning point, $ 30 for the K380 vs $ 120 for the Magic, so I need to fall in love with the k380.

[@MindyC]

K380 is a great keyboard for its price!

[@pauljosephhealy]

I have the wired Apple USB and the Logitech K380 in rose pink (it was £5 cheaper in that colour). Overall I prefer the K380. I’m a slow 30 words per minute typist so I couldn’t notice much difference. The K380 was much better at connecting to other Bluetooth devices. My ideal Bluetooth keyboard would be a folding one without any power draining backlight that works on all operating systems Windows, Mac OS, Smart TV, Android & iOS. USB-C rechargeable too.

[@emmarei]

This is an amazing review. You focus on all the important aspects and takes the time to show them. Thank you.

[@MindyC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m using Logitech K380 with IPad 8th Generation. It works smoothly. Nice to touch.

[@MindyC]

Glad to hear you (and I) are enjoying your K380 😊 Happy New Year!

[@daylonpowell3695]

I could definitely agree with you about the keys on the K380; i just got one today and that was one of the main reasons I got it. One of the other reasons was because the multi device aspect of it. Thanks for the review on the two key boards! I’m gonna watch ur dedicated k380 video right now

[@arambhsharma2050]

I really enjoy using the apple magic keyboard over the k380, the scissor mechanism gives a good feedback without any wobble, while the k380 also has decent feedback, the travel distance is a bit more paired with the rounded keys, i get immediate feedback that i m not pressing the key with the right finger, which is not so much on the apple keyboard although the keys are spaced ou a bit more so end up hitting the side key as well , like if i use the middle finger to type "l" might inadvertanly touch k as well

[@janabroflovski2572]

just bought the magic keyboard I like the design

[@mshal_alahim739]

I prefer the white Logitech It does the work and better price

[@janabroflovski2572]

@@mshal_alahim739 yeah but i liked the magic keyboard design better and I had the money laying around but I agree the Logitech is nice as well

[@raskarl]

I used to have the Logitech keyboard and now I have the magic keyboard…watching this video makes me feel nostalgic for the Logitech. The quality of this video is great. The magic keyboard has the backspace button - surely that’s the same as the delete button?

[@MindyC]

thanks a lot for watching! 😊 what I know the backspace key deletes the letter before the cursor, while delete key deletes the letter before the cursor. Delete is also kinda useful for me when I use the keyboard for my work laptop which is on Windows (need the ctrl+alt+delete to unlock).

[@janinee6733]

I love my Logitech K 380 keyboard. Feels and looks great (I have the grey one). Typing experience is great too. Nice review btw.

[@MindyC]

Grey k380 is nice too😉 thanks for dropping by!

[@danielreed8029]

fantastic review... organized and straight to the salient points. as others have pointed out, very high quality content.

[@MindyC]

Thank you!

[@WanderingAroundAZ]

I have the K780 which is the more premium version of the K380. It includes a built in tablet stand and a numeric keypad. I definitely type better on the K780 than a traditional keyboard. I think the round keys and the slight concave of the keys make a huge difference. I wish Logitech would swap the location of the FN and CTRL keys to match the Mac layout though.

[@MindyC]

I believe the K780 is the bigger brother/sister of the K380 😉 I agree with you that the slight curve on the keys make typing easier on the hands!

[@justchecking9611]

Thank you for this comparison. I decided to the get the k380. I prefer a separate keyboard as apposed to specific keyboard case for an iPad. This way I don’t have to buy a new keyboard every time get a new ipad. I also like the easy switch between devices. I use a rapoo Bluetooth mouse that I can easily switch with a button between my mackbook air and iPad 5. I like that the logitec uses replaceable batteries as opposed to the fixed internal battery that means you don’t have to replace the whole keyboard in a few years when the battery dies.

[@MindyC]

Thanks for sharing! K380 is indeed a great keyboard, good multi-device keyboard with amazing battery life!👍

[@daisukevideo]

This keyboard is nice! I have the same keyboard, but it's very useful for video editing. Thank you for the very easy-to-understand video. With love from Japan :)

I use the magic keyboard. It’s a professional keyboard, full size and matches the size of my iPad Pro 12.9. Simple choice.

[@MindyC]

ah so you use the magic keyboard full size with the numpad? Must be quite expensive (though a cheaper than the magic keyboard for the ipad, I guess!)

[@quinxx12]

How does this match the size of your ipad??

[@i-adonald1499]

@@MindyC I use the keyboard without the numpad

[@CeelosEsco]

Hated this keyboard. Hoped it would grow on me. Took it back after a week. Got the MX keys instead. Basically the pro version. The circular keys on the k380 caused so many typos and missed keys. You can’t feel out the keys because they all feel the same.

[@johnong2655]

My K380 just broke after 1 year of use. The key mapping went haywire, I had used my company's magic keyboard previously and it worked longer than expected

K380 follows the bauhaus design principles, that's why it feels more easy to type.

[@nisamun2396]

I have the K380, been using it for a while with my iPad 8. I'm actually surveying other keyboards right now cause I'm a fast typer which the K380 cannot really catch up with hence it's been bugging me. I've watched reviews for iPad keyboard, but now I might prefer a Magic Keyboard.

[@MindyC]

cool! i am sure you will enjoy the Magic Keyboard if you really like the low key travel! I guess you really type super fast if the K380 cannot keep up with you 😉

It's actually possible to customize 4 keys using logitech option software.

I also have k380 but it began having issues when i updated my Os a week ago. It suddenly stops typing tho it’s still connected via bluetooth. Do u experience the same issue? Also, some special chars do not appear when i type on apple notes. Like ?-():; etc

[@MindyC]

sorry to hear that your stopped working. i am currently typing on my K380 and seems to work ok. also with the ?-(); I suggest you to check the keyboard language if it is set to non-English. Usually that’s the cause. good luck! 😉

[@Haize2pac]

I have a dumb question for you, is there any way to reuse my Bluetooth keyboard which comes with a usb piece that I used with my laptop... Maybe with a hub it would be possible? Or with a hub, can I use my other keyboard which is using a cable. Just because I don't want more keyboards...

[@MindyC]

not a dumb question! 😉 on my iPad Pro, I have tried to use an adapter to plug in a usb receiver but on a mouse. I made a video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmTSd6uYnM6DZs0 I also tried on my iPad Air 3 to use another adapter to plug the usb of a keyboard and it works too. here’s my video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIXWnWeMhpKlgqc You just need to check carefully if the adapter will work with your iPad.

My k480 isnot working well on my ipad pro 12.9 2020. Each of my logitech keys are functioning differently and i cant type.... But i have no problem while using on Windows pc. I tried forgetting the device and reconnecting but that didnt help.. Help me out.. Thanks in advance.

maybe try to check the iPad language. Usually it is the reason why some keys don’t work, when it is set to non-English. If it still does not work, then maybe it’s better to check with Logitech!

[@usedromanceboy19]

Thank you so much for this video, Ydnim! I was wondering: can the keyboard take rechargeable batteries? I looked at the specifics on Logitech's website but it only mentions that it comes with batteries that last 2 years.

[@MindyC]

I just recently changed the batteries of my k380 after 3 years and 10 months. Now I'm using rechargeable batteries. Not sure though if I can stretch it to 2 years. Let's see 😉

[@usedromanceboy19]

@@MindyC Oh, wow, the Logitech batteries lasted you that long?? That's incredible! Yeah, I wouldn't expect the rechargeable batteries you're using now to last two years but if they're compatible with the keyboard that's all that matters, I guess. I'd love to know how well the laptop and rechargeable batteries work together and if it doesn't damage the keyboard in any way.

@@usedromanceboy19 So far the connection is stable when I use my K380 with rechargeable batteries with my work Windows laptop. I hope the rechargeable batteries won’t damage my K380. Do you think it will? 😰
