The gentleman is an exceptional reviewer: informative, to the point, well-produced evaluations and demo. May your standards take over the world.

I know you're a good reviewer because you convinced me to buy the keyboard you didn't like. You properly explained the pros/cons of both, which helped me realize the K480 is the best for my use-case, which is mainly just having a keyboard I can use around the house or in my backyard, in various laying down/sitting positions, with my phone/tablet as well as the desktop PC I have setup in front of my couch in the living room. It would be replacing the keyboard I currently use for that PC, the logitech K800, which is over 3.5 lbs, so from my perspective it seems light, lol.

I always love hearing how different people reach purchasing decisions. The click of the K480 keys is actually a selling point, rather than a deal breaker, for me. I'm legally blind and use the sound that comes back from keys to help me catch if I've made a typing error or double pressed something. Anyway, thanks for the great comparison and reviews.

Why the hell am I looking at a review that disses the keyboard I *just purchased*

Tbh the keyboard sounds are relaxing, more like an ASMR.

I think I'll go with the K480. I use a mechanical keyboard, so I like the noisy typing experience. I want to piss off the hipsters in Starbucks.

It's been almost six months since I purchased the K480, and found it very helpful. It's features are unmatched by any other keyboard even as of today. I mean, when I got this I was using an iPhone and then I switched to android. And it still works. Moreover, it works simultaneously with three different devices of any operating system! Keys To-Go requires you to choose the version before you buy. Great review even with my keyboard ended up loosing in your books.

Great review! I went for "the loser", here's why: I personally don't really care about the key sounds, but I love to have keys a bit apart while typing. It has that killer integrated stand and its weight makes it sit nicely tight on your lap.

Great review on both keyboards I have K480 its a great keyboard I like the fact that you can use it on iOS and Android and PC. And battery life is excellent been using this keyboard everyday for over a year now and still on the same set of batteries. I’m a very fast typer so this keyboard works great on ease and speed of the keys. No lag and I like the sound of the keys being quiet is not an issue for me.

You are hilarious dude. Great energy, The best part of your vid was how you broke down your criteria which everyone should do when choosing a keyboard or really any tek. Nice job.

Wow, you are very charismatic! And 5 years after this video, I’m getting the Keys to Go 😁

I’ve just received keys-to-go today. Initially i couldn’t connect to my iPad but after pressing down Bluetooth bouton for a couple of second it was fine. My typing this with it and I’m really happy. I recommend

I have had the K480 now for 2 years plus, and love it. As far as the clanging sounding keys, to be honest, until I saw this KZfaq, I haven't noticed it. Great keyboard, and I am very satisfied.

Impressed with clarity, knowledge, rationale n eloquence and yet I went for 380 :)

Great review, you got a point on the noisy k480 but it doesn't bother me that much, I actually love my new keyboard and the fact that I can switch from my computer to my phone effortlessly.

I'm a graphic designer. I have a K480 that I use at work. I monitor my email on my iPad resting in the slot on the keyboard while I work on the Mac. The keyboard lets me easily and quickly switch between devices. This means I can be super-responsive to priority emails. I actually like the feel and sound of the keyboard. I don't find it too loud. There is a good amount of travel and springiness to the keys. The weight helps keep it from sliding around on my desk. I wouldn't, however recommend it to someone who wants to carry it around. It is just a bit to bulky and heavy for that. I think it's better around the office or home.

The overly steep angle of the holder on the keys to go is easily remedied by scraping a kraft knife blade over the back edge of the holder slot a few times to shave the corner off. My tablet now sits at the same angle as it does in the K480. Stability is not an issue with this change either. Thanks for this review, I bought both keyhboards off the back of this video and really like them both! I find the K480 more comfortable, but the keys are sometimes a little sticky if you hit them on the edge. And yeah pretty noisy but I don't mind this much of the the time. I like the connection selection switch, plus I prefer removable batteries because usb charged keyboards are dead once the integrated battery doesn't hold a charge any more. Keys to go for travelling, no doubt.

Thank you! I was searching for a keyboard for my daughters ipad 8 for school. She has hyperacusis, so she needs a very quiet one. The keys to go sounds perfect! Her ipad case stands by itself so no problem with the wrong ankle. 😉

I bought both over a year ago "the keys to go" became worn out the keys faded and the plastic cover split were as my k480 is still kicking

Dave - good review, and helped me get off the fence in deciding between the k380 and the keys-to-go. Picked up keys-to-go and am very happy with it - thanks.

Espresso coffee machine is much noise than the keyboard. I think K480 is fine in cafe :)

Just got KTG! Pairs like a dream! Just right for ipad 9.7 2018 no complaints!

Loved your review. New subscriber here! You have an awesome natural way to your reviews. Great personality and you are easy to listen to and understand! :)

Very helpful review going with the k480 ordered it while watching can’t wait to give it a whirl!

lmaoo i love keyboard noise thats the only reason i use physical keyboards

I got this recently for my iPad 7th generation & that K480!is amazing

Honestly getting the one you hate tomorrow for exactly the same reason you hate it. I am a mechanical keyboard kinda guy. So the sound seals the whole deal for me. Love it.

The Logitech K480 was purchase by me today from micro center. Typing this comment with it right now. I’m loving it right now after a couple of hours

This is amazing. I was trying to decide between these two exact keyboards, for this exact use case (typing from my lap). I can't believe you made such an awesome and thorough video! Looks like Keys-to-Go are the way to go for me.

Good review, thank you. Was considering those two as well. Based on review will go for the 480. Quiet is nice, but the other factors are higher priority for me.

Infomative, to the point, adresses the main issues, makes the choice easier, even if one opts for the version you sent back. Thank you.

Wow thank you for your review. I fall for the clicking sound. I love the clicking sound actually. But the most important thing for me is the angle. The viewing angle is important for comfort typing. Particularly when I put the keyboard on my lap. It should be convenient to see.

I liked Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard way better then the other one. All points that you say are negative, i liked them, i love bulky keyboard because they it give solid foundation and don't feel fresky like its gonna slip under your hand. The clocking sound of keyboard gives its authentic typewriter touch which writers crave for, and angle as you admitted is great. And there is adequate space between the keys which goes well with my large hands. 5 Star for Logitech Bluetooth.

Great review. Good public speaking. I have been using a connected keyboard for many years but I though I would try this K480. I like almost all of it -- except, I find the keys ( noisy keys ) to be very "sticky" - hard to push - not fluid. If I thought this would "loosen" up, I might keep this keyboard - however, I don't believe it will.

Just met you for the first time with this review. Loved your pace & thorough review - I needed to see no others. I tried to follow your amazon link so you’d get credit, but only found links to the Keys-To-Go -- you sold my wife on the full size and yes, even the click of the K480.

Fantastic review! Nailed what I was looking for. Keep doing what you're doing I'm subscribing!

This is a great review. But the winner for me honestly is the K480. Its easy to slip my phone and tablet into the top of it and switching the keyboard between the two is super simple. Rotate a dial. Plus I like the longer key travel because I tend to type like an elephant on a pogo stick. And I like the "Mechanical" sounds of the keyboard. I know its not mechanical, but that little click it does enforces that I hit the key.

Just get a seperate stand for the phone, or put the stand next to the keys-to-go. Excelent review btw

Thanks for the review David. I bought the Keys to Go after also checking out the K480. The Keys was the right choice fo me as well. It's got a great typing feel and is just oh so light and portable. I've got to say that the angle of the phone holder isn't much of a big deal to me. I think it's a good angle.

Thanks for this! I’ve decided to buy the Keys To Go based on your review ❤️

Sticking to the K380 that I just picked up by accident one day because there was a sale and I was in the market to buy my first Bluetooth keyboard. Only Navy available but now after years I regret not buying the accompanying pebble mouse. Probably get another K380 & mouse but in rose/pink.

Great review! Reviewer is crazy jacked too, holy cow!

I'm a writer who live in a bubble. I really don't care if others around me are annoyed by my typing noise. I really whack the keys. After 4 years in 2021 the K480 is still clicking clacking well.

This was pretty informative, i already had the jist of everything else but i had no idea about the different types fpr android and ios

Wow, Dave, great review. Love your style, too. I agree about the noise; I hate noise. I do wonder if you like the Targus portable keyboards; I loved them about 15 years ago, but not sure how they are today. Thanks!

Don't know why I wanted to know more about the white keyboard kept on his left, looks classy!

There's no ESC KEY button of the 2nd keyboard. Just a warning

Thanks for the information. I have purchased both of them so see how they do when they arrive. The KTG in red and the K480 in white. I am glad you pointed out the pros and cons of each and they both fit a niche for my use. Thanks again.

Fantastic review and good clean humor. You’re like a breath of fresh air.

The problem with Keys To Go is the keys are too small. I've tried typing using a small keyboard, and it strains my hands.

Great review. I have the 480 and it rocks. I cant get over how i ever lived without an external keyboard for my ipad. I did not purchase this solely for my ipad. I needed it for my laptop since the keyboard went and i did not want to purchase a new one.. yet just because of a few keys. The 480 was a winner because it is good for windows and iOS. The stability of this unit is wonderful. It really makes using the ipad more functional. Once the new iOS system is available.. we will be able to use the mouse (a special one) with the older iPads. I cant wait.. i love the iPad Pro.. but cant justify the expense because my ipad is fine. Thanks for the great video.. you are an exceptional trainer and reviewer.. i am subscribing to your channel.

I have a K480 and I agree that the keys are so noisy that I keep trying other keyboards. However I keep coming back to it because I love working with my iPad resting on my lap while I sit on the couch which none of the others have done. One thing you did not mention is that while you can have 3 apple devices paired at once, you can also have 3 android devices paired simultaneously too giving you 6 paired devices to access by turning the knob. All you need to do is change the switch on the right hand side of the keyboard to the android setting then pair your 3 devices and again when you need to switch to the devices in use. Unfortunately the keyboard is not backlit either which is another reason I keep looking for other keyboards.

Love your vibe dude as well as review. Keep on rockin!

Absolutely outstanding comparison!!

Thanks for this amazing review. I'm in a long struggle with Logitech's Universal Folio. I bought one and after 2 months it stopped to work. Then, Logitech send me another one. AND stopped with just one month use. I'm looking for a keybord that can REALLY work. And, of course, be with me for years, not 1 or 2 months...

Hi, can you make a full review about K480? Like the features and shortcut keys. Would really love to see your opinion solely for K480 ☺️

I think I'll go with the Keys-to-Go for my iPad Pro 11''! I like the better typing experience of the K480 but the spill-proof, silent (I take notes in class) and extremely portable factor of the KTG is the way to go! (And i don't like having a keyboard always on the iPad, so I don't like keyboard cases. It's just a shame it uses micro-usb instead of USB-C

The most important thing to remember when trying to add on cellphones and tablets is that when you begin to pair them, to keep the "i" or "pc" buttons held down for 3 to 5 seconds; otherwise, your phone/tablet will not see the keyboard.

I ove keyboard with sound so I choose the 1st one tnx for the review

I use my K480 in coffee shops & libraries just to get the college students use to the noises they'll have to experience working in the real world. Lol!!! I do think the keyboard seems like a cheap kids toy.

Thanks for posting the size comparison at 5:40, it's difficult to find information on the key spacing (vs key size) on their sites or other reviews; looks like I'll have to go with the loud keys :).

Dave, I had to keep restarting your video because I couldn't stop laughing. Your channel name is so smartly funny, it caught me off guard. Thanks for the review...saved me $50

I love the sound of a mechanical keyboard . I would never buy a silent keyboard, because that would annoy me soooooo much

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm tired of reviews for "bluetooth" keyboards which require a dongle. That's not bluetooth, that's propriety wireless. shame this review is over two years old. I'm literally subscribing based on this one hyper accurate fact. Google, fix your search engine and stop showing me logitech proprietary solutions.

How funny that I ended up getting both of the keyboards in this review. I got the keys to go but when I couldn’t find the K480 but i finally got the K480 when I found it.

either way, Logitech is winner

I do like the K480 as I like the old keyboards from the 90s and 80s. I hate flat keyboards and I like the rounded keys K380 as they are bigger but I hate that there is very little response with the keys and no way to angle it.

Nice review, well explained key factors of the keyboards is its daily use, i'm thinking on get the K480, with my big hands will be very dificult to type on the a small keyboard

From one brother to another, thanks for the video! Was looking at both of these for use with my iPad.

It’s shocking the keys to go missed the stand angle issue. I wonder if they got the angle the same if it would tip over.

Wow, this is very good review! Thank you very much!

In my opinion I have the Logitech k480 and it is perfect. I’m even using it to type this comment. It has a nice keep travel and is perefect for any type of type. It connects to three devices and doesn’t lag at all. Plus it is not that loud.

I would say that the Logitech K-480 is the best keyboard, it is a bit bulky but it gives you a stand for your device and feels nice to type on, but if you are looking for something portable and small the Keys-To-Go is your option, it is small and really nice to type on too.

Nice review man I just ordered k480.

Just use both. The k480 as a stand and keys to go for typing :) Ok but seriously, nice review!

This was an excellent review!

Dave - Still don't understand the reasons for picking the keys to go, k480 feels so retro with the sound (similar to that blogging app by Tom Hanks) sure I would have like a tad smaller size but that's got its own problem s. loved the review I am going for the k480

Hi Dave, I just read the full review on your website, and I am wondering how your Keys To Go has held up? Specifically, the dirt/maintenance issue and battery life after years of use! God bless :)

I love this review. Just wanted to know if the Keys-To-Go is compatible with an iMac or MacBook Pro?

Dear Dave Cheung, I like this video so much , not just because of its content but your personalities :)

Agree on the comments about the K380 - the keys are VERY noisy. But would you have opted for the K380?

Ironically, I own both keyboards. I don’t find the K480 to be very portable, but I do use it in my house when I’m away from my desk

I've got the K480 keyboard for almost a year now, but never really used it until recently. Yes, the keys are loud and sounds like your are tapping on the arcade video games back in the 80s. When I am on the train, I try to type lightly so it isn't so loud. Does anyone know the shortcut to select all when typing on an iphone? The 'ctrl+a' doesn't work.

K480 is winner for me as I love the typing noise... God Bless ! ! !

Some people love the clicking noise from the K480 and the key travel like a regular keyboard

Great video! I like your style and voice! (I'm a singer. Some speaking voices and habits drive me nuts!) A few thoughts. 1. Rechargeable vs. AAA. Our power can go out for days. It's nice knowing I can just pop some batteries in. Use my spare charger for the phone. Or if I'm somewhere with no cable, just pop into Rite Aid and click away. Also, have had to spring on a few toys to replace a rechargeable battery. It led to trying myself. Not pretty. Love the knob on the 480 so I know what device ding bat me was on last. I thought the clicking was going to be a deal breaker. I'm the kind of person who can spend half a day deciding which color pot holder to put top of the pile. I concentrate deeply when I write. My son quietly saying, "Good morning!" can get a "Jesus!" panic reaction. All that to say, I even wonder about myself. I'm a wee bit detail oriented. I've come to enjoy the clicks. For now. I can imagine them getting on my nerves. But, so far not bad. I don't like that I can't take my toy quiet places. But, I'm mostly using mine at home. I like to annoy my kids while I pretend I'm being productive. It's not that loud. They say they can't hear me from across the room. The keys having space between has been nice when it's time to clean out the cookie crumbs.

Awesome review. I have a question. Will K480 work also with Samsung Smart TV with Tizen OS?

I wish everyone in the library could care about other people's feelings. I study in Germany and a lot of students here in the library make a lot of noise without even feeling anything.

I really enjoy the sound of a mechanical keyboard, so i will go with the K480; however your thorough explanation about both really helped me choose. Thank you! And do you know if the K480 is compatible with the new 2018 ipad pros?

I don't mind the key sounds on the k480. Let's people know that I'm busy working. What puts me off is the phone stand and how unnecessarily cramped the keyboard is. Surely a slightly bigger keyboard would still fit the smallest bag in the world, right?

hi mr dave, i had the k480 for a while until it broke. it was a nice keyboard. i loved the battery aaa battery design because i used rechargables. but you are right it was noisey. i now have the zagg limitless. its similar to the k480, has integrated stand, built in rechargable battery, and backlit keys plus its pretty quiet. it can also be paired to 3 devices. its not as heavy (personally i wish it was heavier) but it has enough weight to hold a tablet.

Thanks for the helpful review!! ☺️

Great review of both keyboards. I’m in a similar current situation of getting a travel keyboard for my smartphone. Just curious if you have tried using the keyboard on your lap and how it felt. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Thanks for the beautiful review.

Hi, I love your review. I don’t mean to sound like hitting on you but I must say you’re quite a clean cut handsome guy with a nice voice, and cute energy. I’ve owned the k480 for a few years now since before keys to go was even produced. I must say I hate the heavy weight. I have pain in my hands a lot which makes them hurt more being I move the keyboard around a lot. It’s been a pretty good reliable keyboard, the batteries last a good while, and I like how I can use it on a iPad mini 4 and my android cell, or even with a laptop. The noise doesn’t bother me as much as the weight most of all. I wish you had done a review on the Logitech k380 compared to the keys to go. I worry will the thin material crack or rip over time on the keys to go, besides maybe writing fade where it’s wrote on each key. Plus I wonder do you have to press very gently or a bit firmer on the keys to go. I’ve never used a noiseless flat keyboard other than the touch cell phone screen to know how it is typing. Does the cramped smaller keyboard bother you at all? Best wishes always.

I want the multi device support across ios , android and Windows... so I guess k480 is the choice for me although it does look bulky.

You are good at review. Thank you very much.

You should try k380, hooks ton3 blue tooth units, handy

Logitech doesn't claim months for the batteries in the K480. On their website they say "Battery life: 2 years". AA batteries are so common and so cheap that is a big PRO for the K480. Built-in rechargeable batteries wear out over time too. How I see these 2 keyboards is whether you prefer comfortable keyboard that is large and heavy or a sweet looking, less comfortable light keyboard for easy portability to travel with. I am actually considering the Logitech K380 which is cheaper than both but I feel like it is in the middle ground between these 2 keyboards. I don't need a stand either as my tablets are in a case and have stands built in.

Nice review. Thank you!
