Logitech K380S Bluetooth Keyboard

Logitech K380S Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard – Full Feature Overview

1. Product Summary

The Logitech K380S is a modern, compact, multi-device wireless keyboard built for seamless typing across various devices and operating systems and is available at Mobihub Electronics Kenya. Designed with versatility, quiet performance, and portability in mind, it is ideal for users who need a flexible keyboard for their laptop, tablet, phone, or desktop—whether working at a desk, on the go, or switching between systems. It enhances the original K380 with subtle design and performance upgrades.

2. Design and Build

Minimal, Lightweight Design

• The K380S retains the slim, rounded aesthetic of the K380 series, making it highly portable without sacrificing functionality.

• At just over 400 grams, it’s easy to carry in a backpack, briefcase, or tablet pouch, making it ideal for mobile professionals or students.

Rounded Keys for Comfortable Typing

• Features spherically dished keys that match the shape of fingertips, improving typing accuracy and comfort over prolonged use.

• The layout mimics a standard laptop keyboard, reducing the adjustment curve for new users.

Compact Footprint

• The keyboard eliminates the numeric keypad to save space, making it ideal for small desk setups, travel, or pairing with mobile devices.

• Despite the compact size, all essential function keys and shortcuts are accessible, including media control, volume, search, and screen brightness (where supported).

3. Multi-Device and Multi-Platform Support

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Connection

• The K380S connects via Bluetooth and does not require a USB receiver, which frees up ports and supports use with smartphones and tablets that don’t have USB-A ports.

Connects to 3 Devices Simultaneously

• Supports multi-device pairing, allowing users to pair with up to three devices (e.g., laptop, tablet, and phone) and switch between them instantly using the Easy-Switch buttons (1, 2, 3) at the top left corner.

Wide OS Compatibility

• Compatible with:

  • Windows

  • macOS

  • iPadOS

  • Android

  • ChromeOS

  • Linux (basic functions)

• The keyboard automatically adjusts layout and modifier keys based on the connected OS (e.g., Command for Mac, Ctrl for Windows).

4. Typing Experience and Performance

Low-Profile Scissor Switch Keys

• Each key uses a scissor mechanism to provide a balance between quiet operation and tactile feedback.

• Designed for a quiet and responsive typing experience, ideal for shared workspaces, virtual meetings, or late-night typing sessions.

Optimized Key Layout

• Includes full row of function (F1–F12) and media keys, with alternate functions accessible via the Fn key.

• Option for key remapping and customization via Logitech software on supported platforms.

5. Battery and Power Management

Extended Battery Life

• Powered by two AAA batteries, with an expected battery life of up to 24 months under typical usage conditions.

Auto-Sleep Function

• Enters low-power mode automatically when not in use to conserve battery.

• Can be manually powered off via the physical on/off switch on the side.

6. Build Quality and Portability

Durable Yet Lightweight

• Made from sturdy plastic that resists flex while remaining ultra-lightweight for portability.

• Rubberized feet on the underside help prevent sliding during typing.

No Built-In Stand

• Flat design is meant for use as-is. For elevation or ergonomic typing angles, external keyboard stands can be used.

7. Customization and Software (Optional)

• Supported by Logi Options+ software (on Windows/macOS), allowing:

  • Customization of function keys

  • OS-specific behavior adjustment

  • Device pairing and management

  • Firmware updates (where applicable)

Note: Use of software is optional; basic functionality works without drivers or installations.

8. Use Case Scenarios

Best For:

• Users switching between multiple devices regularly (e.g., tablet + laptop)

• Mobile workers or digital nomads

• Writers, students, and remote professionals

• Quiet work environments (e.g., shared offices, libraries)

Not Ideal For:

• Users requiring a full numeric keypad

• Gamers seeking mechanical key performance

• Heavy-duty desktop use with large peripherals
