*FOR THOSE OF YOU WANTING TO CHANGE THE FUNCTION KEYS DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR* You need to download the Logitech options software. This will allow you to set the f-lock so that the F keys function as regular F keys, over media controls.
Typing experience: The keys sit slightly up from the main body of the keyboard, and give a quiet click with every stroke (but really quiet, not loud in the slightest). Once you get over the bump of the key (or actuation point you could say) there is a little more travel, but not to an extent you'd notice unless specifically pressing the key slowly to test it. The feel of the keys is close to the apple wired/wireless keyboard I would say (be it apple uses scissor keys). The roundness is somewhat different and feels unusual at first, but after about ten minutes feels fine and using it becomes second nature. Any other questions please let me know.
Thank you for sharing this info. I'm a mechanical kbd user but some times I want something quiet to type on. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again :)
I have this keyboard and I really like it. Sometimes I work at night, with the lights off to not wake up the rest of the house. The quietness of this keyboard is one of the reasons I bought. Because I don't have to wake up anyone with my typing. If it would be backlit, I would give it a ten out of ten, but instead I give it a 9 out of ten.
Thanks! I purchased this keyboard this afternoon and JUST opened the box. I came here because I felt a bit dumb because I didn't know how to open the plastic tab over the batteries. Now I know that it wasn't just me being silly. It actually IS difficult to open. My nails were the trick!
I got one a week ago and I'm really impressed with it. It looks sleek on my desk and takes up much less space. It also makes my desk look more modern. I bought it mainly because of its size and wireless factors. Being able to pair it with two additional devices is something that I welcome too. Last but not least, my typing speed has also increased thanks to the overall keys layout and circular shape of all of them. I am glad I chose this one over the K375s. PS I also wanted to say that your video review is top-notch!
Almost bought this, but see the page up/page down keys are tucked away on the numeric keypad (with a fn-key combination?). If you like the idea of multi-device, but also use PgUp/PgDn, you might consider the more classic/boring K375.
Normally it's numbers with the fn page up/down, etc. But if you toggle number lock, it turns it around so numbers are deactivated, then page up, etc is default without the fn press first.
I use this keyboard for programming and love it second to my Apple keyboard. The only thing that takes a bit to get used to is the arrow keys. But since I use vim it doesn’t matter
@@MarcinGil These buttons are on the number pad (num pad serves two functions). To enable them you need to toggle off num_lock. home = 7, end =1, page up = 9, page down = 3.
Does it not have a light to let me know I'm in uppercase? When I turn on my computer and I have to log in ...I sometimes have to do it a second time because the first time had it locked in uppercase. Same for passwords in other areas....
Couple this keyboard with a multi-mode mouse and you've got the game sewn up, running three devices with one keyboard & one mouse. And an impressive keyboard, Logitech quality.
You need a Crowbar to open the back and get the pairing device out! After you do that and get a Manicure, it works well as a wireless keyboard. Logitech really needs to fix this by sending out replacement covers for existing purchases and curing this defect for future builds.
Thanks for the clear instructions I want to use my Ipad for this keyboard. I tried many times but it doesn't connect with bluetooth. Everything is on but it just doesn’t work. Could this be a faulty?
This is meant for a PC, mac or phone/tablet, so a TV isn't applicable for use with this. You can navigate the devices it's meant for with the arrow keys, but again, it's not designed to be used with a TV.
Really nice review Jordan, I remember hearing you recording part of the audio for this in the periscope stream! Lol "pardon the pun". You did a great job of showing how effortless it is to switch between three different devices at 5:08, the keyboard has a lot of extra functionality which is great. I'm always a fan of logitech products because of how customizable they are. Lol I like the pen holder feature ;) Awesome thumbnail by the way, keep up the great work, 65 more to 7,000!
Thanks man. That was a good stream, even if I did put stupid parts in haha. Yeah, Logitech is definitely one of the top players, consistently great products. I'm probably one of the few that still hand writing things. Thanks dude, not far to go now!
Jordan Ash not reliable at all for ages ! they got great products but nowadays the quality is very low and all brocken after the warranty... I ordered hundreds of their products every years for my company... headsets, mice and keyboards... none are reliable... of course I have not tested all models but the main one = yes they are all unreliable... all of them and I called them in the headquarter in Switzerland and they know. the warranty is great but I had enough of them as all of their products I bought were bad. years ago they were really different and very very very reliable. time is changing so much
The function keys, which ones are primary? The F keys or Media keys and can they be configured? I primarily use the F for work and was thinking of this keyboard but this could be a deal breaker if I cannot change
Would you recommend this as the main keyboard for a mac? One thing that worries me is would I get used to the circular keys, as I am quite accustomed to square keys.
Can I use the keyboard with more than one unifying receiver at a time (and use the function keys to switch between devices), or would I need to move the unifying receiver between devices?
Thank you for asking this question. I like my keyboards to have the light indicators. Looking for a small keyboard for my small hands but really want the light indicator 😁
I have a K380 which Logitech also claims has a 24 months battery life, and I've been using mine for almost 1.5 years now (pretty much all day, everyday, for everything including work) and haven't changed the batteries once yet. If the K780 is anything as good as that, I'm sold.
omg thank you so much I could not figure it out how to open to get the usb-adapter on the back IT REALLY no explanation on the manual , thank you for sharing!!!
great review thank you - im just wondering - can i now get a bluetooth mouse and use this on android device at the same time as keyboard? thanks so much robbie
When connected to phones, is there anyway to switch between apps or do you have to have the app up and ready to use? For example, if I want to switch a track on Spotify, but then I get a WhatsApp can you cycle through them?
I'd say that would be down to the phone. I remember you can navigate the phone using the arrow keys and tab, so theoretically you could move to the multitasking button and open that I guess. I can't 100% guarantee it'll work though, I don't have this any more to try it out.
@@jordanash thanks! 👍 Looks interesting now I'm WFH so much more, I've got all my personal and work devices in one place so it would be handy to switch between them with the Logitech flow system!
Hope this isn't a stupid question but when combined with a mouse does the mouse also switch between devices when you press the “1,2 and 3” buttons or is it only the keyboard that switches and the mouse remains with the PC? I know using a mouse on a phone might be a bit pointless but on a big tablet it could be handy. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
Hi Jordan, very nice review, I am interested in this keyboard, now is it going to work with Linux, cause I am working on Linux and mac simultaneously.. Thanks in advance.
but where are the Launchpad and other apple keys? Also how are you able to press F1-F3 if games like CSgo requires them, will it just automatically switch to another device?
could i get this with more than one dongle? im trying to get a keyboard that can connect to possibly three different system, a computer and two gaming consoles, and its quite a difficult task
If you get additional Unifying receivers you can. But you are still limited to three devices on the keyboard. You can get software to use the same keyboard and mouse on another system at the same time.
Anybody know how the K380 compares to the K780 when it comes down to how the button being pressed feels? Tested K780 in store and it felt amazing but thought it was too expensive. Can only find the K380 in online stores and wondered if it feels the same as K780 or worse/better
I purchased the K780 keyboard and the m590 mouse. I did so thinking that I could use them to switch back and forth between 2 PC's but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Do I insert a unifying receiver into each of the pc's? Any tips out there??... TIA.
Jordan: Thanks so much for a very nice, comprehensive review of the K780. It took me a month of online researching and talking for several hours w/ all the support teams @ Apple, Best Buy & Logitech before I decided to invest in this model. My choice is kind of forward-looking, as I have traded in my MacBook Pro via the Apple GiveBack Program and will rollover that credit to invest in an Apple iPad Pro within the next 18 mos. or so. My home office will then be fully equipped with the full functionality as well as high portability of the K780, the iPad Pro, my current iPhone SE & the MX Anywhere 2S Bluetooth Mouse which I purchased w/ this keyboard today. Thanks again for your video post. Note: Wow! I thought I talked fast! I had to watch your video post 3 times to get everything to the letter. Ha! Ha! :-)
How fast would you say the switching is? Almost instant? ... not that critical but how would you say the lag is? (I’m thinking to also use it for a gaming system I have )
I think this is an amazing keyboard however I cannot get the keypad to work. I get the tones whenever I put num lock on or off but it will not type numbers. In other words. I am typing text such as this and I want to type 1234 I cannot do so using the integrated keypad. I must use the number keys along the top of the keyboard. I have called Logitech and they have no solutions.
Great review. I just clicked on the link in the description, and noticed the K780 is currently on sale! I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should buy the K780. The two keyboards that have made the biggest impression on me have been the Logitech DiNovo Edge, and the Logitech K810. It breaks my heart that the K810 has been discontinued. I was shopping around for one today as I wanted to buy a couple of spares, but couldn't find a reputable retailer who's selling them. Heartbreaking.
Thank you! It may be that the K810 has been discontinues as there's a nerw model coming out soon. I can't confirm that though, even though I weok with them, I;ve not heard anything.
If you have the other three onto a Bluetooth adapter, then yeah. This is only 2.4, or to each other device like a phone or tablet. There's only three options though, so two Bluetooth and one unifying. (unless you have another adapter)
I use the home and end keys quite a bit. I do see a key with the home icon. Does that work as the home key for text editing? What about the end key. My Logitech K520 has those keys. Thank you for the great review!
That button is for use with a smartphone, it just takes the phone to the home screen. For text, the usual home and end are on the number pad, accessible by using the FN key, when num lock is enabled, or just by perssing normal with not enebaled. Thanks for the feedback!.
Hi Jordan: This was a great video. I have just purchased this keyboard and my initial thoughts are very positive. I was wondering if there is a way to change how the Function Keys would react when depressed. I like to be able to control the screen brightness but there are no special Function Keys assigned for this purpose. I am using this on a Mac so I was wondering if you have any ideas? Regards, Keith
HI Jordan: Thanks for your response. I was able to find a share-ware program called Karabiner-Elements that has allowed me to re-map the required Function buttons. It works like a charm. Cheers, Keith
@@jordanash, yes, I goggled it and used the Free download, many windows of authorization then no program appeared, but what has appeared are many, many pop-ups on my computer throughout my day.... bother! Now I've got to clean my computer
So here is a question regarding this keyboard, I have a Logitech G305 that has a usb receiver could I pair this keyboard onto that receiver. Then use the receiver that comes with the keyboard in my second pc ? Or Is it limited to only one usb connection per keyboard ? And I would have to use a bluetooth connection for the second one. I know this is probably a difficult question hopefully someone can answer :)
@@jordanash when you say profile, can you elaborate further as I am new to wireless peripherals... I am going from a Logitech g213 to the k780 how do you think they compare ? P.s thanks for taking the time to reply :)
Thanks Jordan. I am looking for a keyboard for my MacBook, after 'lending' my previous one to my lad. Long time fan of Logitech keyboards and this looks like a no brainer. Cheers!
I watched both this and your K380 videos. Very informative! Does the K380 have the same key feel and travel as the K780? Do they also have the same key size and spacing?
Greetings from Argentina, nice review!..May I ask you if I can use both the Logitech M720 Triathlon and the Logitech K780 at the same computer?. I´ll use the Bluetooth receptor that comes with the Logitech M720 Triathlon for both......is that possible?. Thanks in advance...
Cómo te fue con el teclado? Algo malo para decir? Como haces con la ñ? . Estoy entre el k375s y este. No me decido, aunque este me gusta más estéticamente
Thank you for the video, I want to buy this but one thing is very important for me, K480 keyboard's keys are very hard to press for my usage, my preferred keyboard in the past 5 years was K810 and now I have to change it. Can you explain or compared for me? I'm just concerned about the level of the pressure I need to press the keys, Thanks
Hi thanks for the review! I have the K380 - I love it, but the keys and the spacing between them are a little too small for me, resulting in a more typos/errors. In terms of real estate for typing, spacing between the keys and the size of the keys themselves, how does this compare? And overall how do you like the typing experience on this compared to the smaller brother (K380)?
*FOR THOSE OF YOU WANTING TO CHANGE THE FUNCTION KEYS DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR*
You need to download the Logitech options software. This will allow you to set the f-lock so that the F keys function as regular F keys, over media controls.
Awesome, thanks Jordan.
I was hoping to know if you one can actually use this Keyboard with 2 PCs at a time? Thank you
How do I use the esc key function

I also wanted to say that your video review is top-notch!
It works well with desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones and lasts for years using two batteries.
Very tidy looking and modern too with the round keys, cool that you get a dongle for non mobile devices too. Nicely reviewed buddy :)
Thank you for watching :)
Love this keyboard. Wonderful for me as a student to take with me and take notes in class with my phone.
How portable is this? Any case provided?
I have plugged the USB in my computer, but the keyboard has not connected.?

@@l_tonz thanks. It kinda sucks there are no dedicated buttons. I've found manual that you can have them via fn+arrows but that's too not very good.
It has a good bt range? i bought some other bluetooth keyboard for my mac and I'm near and it keeps disconnecting (don't buy satechi)
Keys getting sticky, but the case is very difficult to get off, unable to clean the keyboard if you want to clean it
Is it possible to remove the built-in stand?
I don't believe so.
Does it not have a light to let me know I'm in uppercase? When I turn on my computer and I have to log in ...I sometimes have to do it a second time because the first time had it locked in uppercase.
Same for passwords in other areas....
There isn't an indicator on this unfortunately.
I still couldn't figure out Command +F3 = Show desktop shortcut....
What's the size of the gap for putting your tablet or phone? I have a thick case on my phone so want to make sure it would fit before I buy. Thanks.
Couple this keyboard with a multi-mode mouse and you've got the game sewn up, running three devices with one keyboard & one mouse. And an impressive keyboard, Logitech quality.
Wouldn't the latency be a little high for gaming?
good review - I can't figure out how to Alt-F4 to close windows that are open
Thanks! Try fn + alt - 4
Thanks for the great review. I was very interested in purchasing this keyboard until I read that the ugly stand was not detatchable. Pity
You're welcome, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, it's a shame.
You need a Crowbar to open the back and get the pairing device out! After you do that and get a Manicure, it works well as a wireless keyboard.
Logitech really needs to fix this by sending out replacement covers for existing purchases and curing this defect for future builds.
I think that's just yours mate, mine came out normally, no crowbar required
You push it down.
Thanks for the clear instructions
I want to use my Ipad for this keyboard. I tried many times but it doesn't connect with bluetooth. Everything is on but it just doesn’t work. Could this be a faulty?
No problem! I'm sure I paired it to an iPad before. Did you get set the keyboard to pairing mode?
Two questions. Can you turn off the TV with the keyboard? How do you use a pointer w/o a mouse pad? Not looking to add a mouse to this setup.
This is meant for a PC, mac or phone/tablet, so a TV isn't applicable for use with this. You can navigate the devices it's meant for with the arrow keys, but again, it's not designed to be used with a TV.
alt + f4 isnt working on this keyboard it opens a new google chrome tab instead of closing the tab
I think you'll need to use function too.

Software allows you to change the default behavior. I'll add a pinned comment for this
It also exists with US English/Thai (i have one). Works excellent on all Operating systems! Many great shortcuts with fn key depending on which OS
Ajarn Spencer Where did you buy that?
Would you recommend this as the main keyboard for a mac? One thing that worries me is would I get used to the circular keys, as I am quite accustomed to square keys.
I'd recommend looking at the Logitech MX keys now, it's a much more modern version of this.
Can I use the keyboard with more than one unifying receiver at a time (and use the function keys to switch between devices), or would I need to move the unifying receiver between devices?
Does it have caps lock / num lock indicator light ?
No.
Thank you for asking this question. I like my keyboards to have the light indicators. Looking for a small keyboard for my small hands but really want the light indicator 😁
does it have a backlight for dark room
Thanks for your review. How do you do page up/page down on this keyboard? I read that you need a combination of keys. Is this hard to do? Thank you
Function (FN - Bottom left), then number pad 3 & 9
can you have the keyboard removed from the mobile stand?
No, it's fixed.
I still can not get it to connect to my computer
Do you know if there is a Window's button dedicated on the K780 keyboard??
I don't think it's *printed* but there is a key that acts as it. Where it's made for multiple devices, they don't print a certain key on it.
can yoy see the keys (in dark) with light from monitor?
I can't remember how it was to be honest, but given it's not backlit I wouldn't guarantee anything.
it says 24 month battery life
I guarantee you'll never get 2 full years. It even says on the box "varies by usage"
I have a K380 which Logitech also claims has a 24 months battery life, and I've been using mine for almost 1.5 years now (pretty much all day, everyday, for everything including work) and haven't changed the batteries once yet. If the K780 is anything as good as that, I'm sold.

Do you have the drivers downloaded?

Great review. I must ask, since it is very flat, is it conformable to use?
Yes, surprisingly so
How do you screenshot since there isn't a Windows key or Printscreen key?
I'd recommend downloading greenshot and setting a key with that.
omg thank you so much I could not figure it out how to open to get the usb-adapter on the back IT REALLY no explanation on the manual , thank you for sharing!!!
I'm very happy with mine but when I download unifying software I get no device detected. I have both Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.
In the amazon and Logitech description it states the battery is 24 months capacity, can you confirm this?
I can't I'm afraid. Being a reviewer I had to test something else after this review. I can't long term test everything, unfortunately.
I have a MAC. Do they send you the key replacements with the keyboard or is it a totally separate keyboard for MS and MAC?
Did you watch the video before you commented? The keys are marked with both PC and Mac functions...

Would I be able to remove the keyboard from the stand it’s placed on?
Unfortunately not.
is this a cheaper version of Logitech Craft?.. can't tell if the keys are rounded like Craft
There's about two and a half year gap between the production of that, to this mate.
Beside the number pad and mobile stand what are the differences between this and the k380?
Build quality primarily.
Hope this isn't a stupid question but when combined with a mouse does the mouse also switch between devices when you press the “1,2 and 3” buttons or is it only the keyboard that switches and the mouse remains with the PC? I know using a mouse on a phone might be a bit pointless but on a big tablet it could be handy. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
Nope, just the keyboard.
Can you pair it to device vie bluetooth and another device #2 using the USB dongle?
I *think* so, but it might be worthwhile emailing them to check.
How can I screenshot with this Keyboard on a Apple iMac ?

No problem
I am blind and cannot see the video visually. Does the keyboard have macro keys that can be programmed for different functions?
Not on this model, unfortunately.
but where are the Launchpad and other apple keys? Also how are you able to press F1-F3 if games like CSgo requires them, will it just automatically switch to another device?
It has all the relevant shortcuts. But if you're looking to game, this is the total opposite of what you should be looking at.
ooooh I see thx :)
this is not a gaming keyboard . this is clearly for productivity .

If you get additional Unifying receivers you can. But you are still limited to three devices on the keyboard. You can get software to use the same keyboard and mouse on another system at the same time.
what Bluetooth dongle would you recommend me to buy?
Is there a dedicated key to bring up the calculator?

The two keyboards that have made the biggest impression on me have been the Logitech DiNovo Edge, and the Logitech K810. It breaks my heart that the K810 has been discontinued. I was shopping around for one today as I wanted to buy a couple of spares, but couldn't find a reputable retailer who's selling them. Heartbreaking.
Thank you! It may be that the K810 has been discontinues as there's a nerw model coming out soon. I can't confirm that though, even though I weok with them, I;ve not heard anything.
Nice introduction video. One question please. Where is the CD/DVD eject button on this keyboard. Many thanks.
There isn't one. CD/DVDs aren't a commonly used media nowadays, so they didn't add it.
Right now typing on it, on my Win 10 PC. Good keyboard.
How to take screen shots using windows 10 on this Logitech k780? Please do reply..thanks
use the snipping tool, I believe it is standard in windows 10
Sorted.. Thank you v much.. bless u.. Regards
Nice no BS review. Q: The Unifying receiver - is it Bluetooth or 2.4 Wireless (i.e. can it be a 4th method of connection) or not?
Thank you. It's 2.4, and cannot be used for anything other than other supported Logitech products
@@jordanash I mean can I have 3 pcs using BT and a 4th using the unifying receiver??
If you have the other three onto a Bluetooth adapter, then yeah. This is only 2.4, or to each other device like a phone or tablet. There's only three options though, so two Bluetooth and one unifying. (unless you have another adapter)
can I pair it to a macbook and a desktop pc? would be nice if the mouse would switch as well
Yep. A mouse like the MX master can do more than one device.
I use the home and end keys quite a bit. I do see a key with the home icon. Does that work as the home key for text editing? What about the end key. My Logitech K520 has those keys. Thank you for the great review!
That button is for use with a smartphone, it just takes the phone to the home screen. For text, the usual home and end are on the number pad, accessible by using the FN key, when num lock is enabled, or just by perssing normal with not enebaled. Thanks for the feedback!.
Hi Jordan: This was a great video. I have just purchased this keyboard and my initial thoughts are very positive. I was wondering if there is a way to change how the Function Keys would react when depressed. I like to be able to control the screen brightness but there are no special Function Keys assigned for this purpose. I am using this on a Mac so I was wondering if you have any ideas? Regards, Keith
Thank you! According to the manual, you can swap to Max OS by holding fn + o for three seconds. This might swap it over.
HI Jordan: Thanks for your response. I was able to find a share-ware program called Karabiner-Elements that has allowed me to re-map the required Function buttons. It works like a charm. Cheers, Keith
Ah great!
This was a good video, Thank you. However, how can I cancel typing on my phone and carry on typing on my pc screen?
Swap devices using the 1-3 numbers
@@jordanash Thank you.
No problem
I have this keyboard. Don't be fooled by the shallow key bed. You have to press hard to type, which sucks and the round keys decrease my accuracy.
I love this keyboard, but, could you please explain the best way to capture a screenshot with this keyboard?
I'd download greenshot, then bind a key you don't use to it ☺
Ok, guess that will require some research to download "greenshot" onto my computer and "bind"?
Google Greenshot, download the program, then the key binding is in the software.
@@jordanash, yes, I goggled it and used the Free download, many windows of authorization then no program appeared, but what has appeared are many, many pop-ups on my computer throughout my day.... bother! Now I've got to clean my computer
It must have been a different website then, I've never had that issue before. Hope you can get it sorted.This is the one you want - greenshot.org
So here is a question regarding this keyboard, I have a Logitech G305 that has a usb receiver could I pair this keyboard onto that receiver. Then use the receiver that comes with the keyboard in my second pc ? Or Is it limited to only one usb connection per keyboard ? And I would have to use a bluetooth connection for the second one. I know this is probably a difficult question hopefully someone can answer :)
If it's a unifying receiver, then you can use it on another PC and connect, yeah. Just use a different profile.
@@jordanash when you say profile, can you elaborate further as I am new to wireless peripherals... I am going from a Logitech g213 to the k780 how do you think they compare ? P.s thanks for taking the time to reply :)
As in the 1,2,3 on the keyboard
I find nothing that explains how to lock the FN so that they function as normal instead of media keys.

Thanks Jordan. I am looking for a keyboard for my MacBook, after 'lending' my previous one to my lad. Long time fan of Logitech keyboards and this looks like a no brainer. Cheers!
Glad I could help!
do the keys light up by any means
Not on this model, no.
Jordan Ash Since the arrow keys and
the number keys are the same on this keyboard, how do you tell if you’re in arrow mode or numeric mode?
I watched both this and your K380 videos. Very informative! Does the K380 have the same key feel and travel as the K780? Do they also have the same key size and spacing?
Thank you! I've just checked for you, and they both feel the same. However, the K780 has *slightly* bigger keys, but retains the same spacing.
good to know, one thing I like about logitech keyboards over other membrane keyboards is the shape they use imitates a soft mechanical switch nicely.
In my experience the big thing the keyboard kisses is Home and End keys!
can you connect to laptop via unifying device, whilst connecting to phone & tablet via blutooth - concurrently? thanks!!
I believe so!
thanks a lot...very appreciated and very neat and informative video!
No worries. Thanks!
Greetings from Argentina, nice review!..May I ask you if I can use both
the Logitech M720 Triathlon and the Logitech K780 at the same computer?.
I´ll use the Bluetooth receptor that comes with the Logitech M720
Triathlon for both......is that possible?. Thanks in advance...
They run with Unifying so you can have up to eight devices on one receiver.
Thanks a lot for the info..... ;)
Cómo te fue con el teclado? Algo malo para decir? Como haces con la ñ? . Estoy entre el k375s y este. No me decido, aunque este me gusta más estéticamente
Thank you for the video, I want to buy this but one thing is very important for me, K480 keyboard's keys are very hard to press for my usage, my preferred keyboard in the past 5 years was K810 and now I have to change it. Can you explain or compared for me? I'm just concerned about the level of the pressure I need to press the keys, Thanks
The K780s keys are really easy to press. You should have no trouble at all with it.
Hi thanks for the review! I have the K380 - I love it, but the keys and the spacing between them are a little too small for me, resulting in a more typos/errors. In terms of real estate for typing, spacing between the keys and the size of the keys themselves, how does this compare? And overall how do you like the typing experience on this compared to the smaller brother (K380)?
Hey! If I recall the spacing is larger, yes. I found the K380 a bit hard to type on at times, but the K780 was okay.
Does switching the device from the keyboard buttons (1 2 3) will also switch the MX mouse you have there on the desk?
Great video!
No, they are separate entities.
Thanks!
you could always use flow to get that functionality. the keyboard will automatically switch with the mouse
