I ordered the K380 but had to send it back because it was Spanish layout. I’m kind of glad though, because that thing is solid (too solid)! I was going to pick up the keys-to-go but I believe (at least with the Android/windows version) that you need to press a modifier key to use escape, which would be a deal breaker for me. I’d be more interested in the keyboard that fold the other way which preserve a more generous key spacing.
My Logitech DiNovo Edge still kicks ass even if it’s 10 + years old.
Nicely done! Though I found ur review via typin keys to go, its nice to find other portable keyboard – BOW one 🙂
do you know how to type the EUR symbol on android device using k380 keyboard?
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video. Just got one question: is the BOW one backlit?
are all of these backlit?
if u like the logitech k380 u shld also check out the logitech k480
Thank you! I am most interested in the BOW folding keyboard. I think I will check out that one. I need something that will fit in my purse and doesn’t add too much weight.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!! Ugh!
Hi, I was hoping if you can tell me how can I find the little stand you used with the Keys to go for the iPad.
Omg you’re the only one that did a sound test without talking 🙏🙏🙏 thank you. It’s so annoying hearing all these ppl trying to review and they won’t shut up! great review love the bow keyboard.
All these keyboards have not mouse pad.
I have the Keys To Go and the K380, using them as a portable keyboard and a home keyboard respectively, and I love them both. I really appreciate the capability of the K380 to be used with multiple devices, as well as it’s key shape makes it very pleasant to type with. I do like the Keys To Go a bit more than you seem to, but I agree with your assessment that it’s not the most comfortable for long typing sessions.
Hi! Where did you buy your white tablet stand?
The sound test for the keys to go sounded like galloping lol
I have this keyboard, and I love it.
What is the stand that you were using for the iPad when you were testing the Logitech k380?
Thanks so much for including sound of keyboard because that matters a lot.
Does it work for android?
You flipped the USD and AUD pieces on the keys-to-go 🙂 Also (unfortunately) $40 USD is much closer to $60 AUD :'(
Always liked how thin and light Keys-to-go is, but just can’t make myself buy a device in 2020 with that ancient port.
The recent purchase of an AboveTEK Kitchen stand (new) — ideal for videoconferencing, and the base of which I slide under my leg in a chair, making for great arm-side, vs. holding-on-to-viewing (aka handless) — has made me give up my iPadPro’s Smart keyboard; something which seems just incredible to me. It’s just sitting there. And I’ve been using either a Zagg portfolio or a Logitech Keyboard or a Smart Keyboard for all manner of iPads for years and years, now. Today, though, I set about to try to find something portable and handy, as I’m so slowed down having to use two fingers on the built-in screen.
All the folding ones, though, don’t have a lock, and will flip closed if you use them on your lap which I will mainly do. The 380 seems like it might be too big or bulky — while I have seen a case (a covering would be important if it’s just knocked around) available for sale, separately. The slimmer To-Go seems quality, too, where a case might not be necessary. Only, I’d read that covering gets loose over the keys in about a year with use, and I think I might miss the action in the keys you describe. I type so very, very much, that I wear right thru the individual keys on Zaggs, Smart keyboards and Logitech, too. The Smart ones have to be tossed, though, once you get right down to the wires, and I’m getting close to that.
Which takes me to the BOW. The first I’ve seen it is here. As to size, would it be about the same as using the 12.9” narrower Smart keyboard? With the folding being horizontally, vs. vertically — as in all the other folding ones — I’m wondering if it might not be ideal for my quick-fast-‘n-easy, grab-it-and-type application I’s use the most. Thank you!!! Linda
If you like the Logitech K380, the K810/811 is definitely awesome in terms of portability, rechargeable battery, comfort, and backlit. Been using mine for 2 years, it’s worth it but way more expensive.
Although in terms of real portability, the other brands that flip are more practical.
I’ve spent last two days looking for the best keyboard, and ended up with both Logitechs you’re reviewing. If only I had found your video earlier!
I was skeptical… and so… i had to watch a ton of vids and do lots of research and ya… he is right! The BOW HB119 IS, the best! There really is.. only 4-5 choices, for a keyboard folding this way (which makes more sense pocket wise, for me) . The others are not as nice either(i dont want extra docks and power gizmos etc, hanging off the back, i just want a sick SMALL(but still a 5 row) keyboard ) … Black is/was HARD to find, but do’able, fleabay, seems the best(@ 31), considering.. the free shipping! A few other cpl sketchy looking sites that you can find it, in black. Silver and gold are not toooo hard to find though… But.. there(Fleabay), seems more sound to buy from,for me ,of which, i just did! So thanks Packing Less 🙂 Dudes on the money… Thumbs up for ya and a sub, you earned it 🙂
🤘🏼
The Logitech k380 can last up to 2 years
I just picked up the K380. I like the quick switch between devices because I’m temporarily working in a different office (thanks to the apocalypse) and can quickly change between my MacBook Pro (on a stand) and iPad without having to move stuff around on the desk.
I bought a LEPOW PORTABLE MONITOR. It came with a gift card for my choice of a few gifts for my purchase. I chose the Logitech K380, and it is an awesome keyboard. It is supposed to have a year battery life. They keys do not light up, but I don’t mind. I ordered a nice clamshell zippered case on Amazon for it, for about $10. This keyboard is prime!. I couldn’t be more pleased with it. I previously had a folding keyboard (jellycomb), that worked very well, but died after about a year of use, so I threw it away. Not the one in this video. i think it developed a short in the ribbon cable used in folds.
easy win for the k380
Nice, very useful review
BOW looks ugly but seems considerable
For Android also?
I have the Logitech k380,perfect size. Compact but not tiny,and I never had any keyboard use "circle" shaped keys so I find that unique, easily the best deal for under $30 USD
Hey, I am wondering if you have any suggestions for a wireless compact keyboard that is backlit? I have an ipad pro and am finding it hard to source one without a numeric keypad.
I;m looking for a keyboard that works when youre using it for IG Lives. All the keyboards i’ve tested don’t work. Any suggestions?
Waterproof! I need waterproof!

I look forward to this keyboard which will be released soon (May).
BOW – Love the form factor as the web site describes it as more of a keyboard for use with a smartphone than tablet. How does it feel from a material standpoint?
Great video ! I’m searching a keyboard for my car. I have an android stereo, I’d like to put a slide keyboard on the car dashboard of 1 din ( I hate to touch the display ). But I haven’t found anything like that.
Hello, I wonder if that cmd button on k380 is the same as windows button
i like the smalles one especially its tapping sounds… and it can fold wow!
A talking hand…. : )
Hello, I have a question about this product. Hope you can help me!
Is it possible to link a wireless mouse (without a dongle) to this keyboard?
Because when I press "1", "2", and "3" to switch devices, I want to have my keyboard + mouse to be switched at the same time.
If yes, any bluetooth mouse to suggest?
Thanks in advance!
Great video and such a calming voice to listen to . Why do you have 7 k subs that doesn’t make sense anyways well done buddy
