Logitech K380: what owners actually say
Owners consistently praise the K380 as a cheap, quiet, multi-device keyboard for Apple and travel setups, with only scattered complaints about Bluetooth reliability in crowded wireless environments
What owners complain about
- Bluetooth struggles in crowded spaces FEW
One owner reports the keyboard 'doesn't connect so well in busy places like work and cafes where there are so many active Bluetooth devices around', and says it only works reliably in 'less chatty' Bluetooth environments
- Windows power-management disconnects FEW
A Stack Exchange thread documents the keyboard dropping out until the user manually disabled 'Allow the computer to turn off this device' under the Bluetooth HID device's Power Management tab in Windows
- Keyboard layout mismatch FEW
An owner hit character-mapping issues caused by a mismatch between system locale and physical layout (e.g. en-GB system with an en-US keyboard), producing wrong characters
- Dropped keypresses when typing fast (secondhand) FEW
One commenter cites low-star Amazon reviews claiming key presses get skipped when typing quickly, though the reviewer they watched did not reproduce it
What owners love
- Exceptional value
Owners repeatedly call it budget-friendly — one paid $30 and said 'at that price there's zero to complain about'; another got it from an eBay auction for $13 and says 'I love it so much!'
- Multi-device switching
One owner uses it across an iPad Pro, MacBook Air and a laptop, calling the device-switching 'multitasking at their best'; another uses it as a docked Steam Deck companion for TV output
- Quiet, pleasant typing
An owner notes the actual typing sound is 'way quieter than shown in the video', and a Windows desktop user bought it specifically for the typing feel and silence, having tested it in a physical store first
- Strong Apple ecosystem compatibility
Owners report it 'works really well with apple devices', including a new M2 MacBook Air owner transitioning from Windows who bought it alongside a Logitech Pebble M350 mouse
- Compact and portable
Multiple owners chose it for portability and small size, with one switching from Mac to a Windows desktop specifically seeking 'a small keyboard' and minimal gear
Surprising patterns
- It's a popular companion for a docked Steam Deck — one owner uses it almost exclusively with the Deck connected to a TV and considers it 'a pleasure' at $30.
- Owners commonly bundle it with the Logitech Pebble M350 mouse as a matched budget silent-input set, with one commenter comparing that pairing against a Keychron K2 setup at work.
- In-person typing is reportedly even quieter than what review videos capture, which surprised at least one owner after purchase.
