Great keyboard for my purpose
A couple years ago I wrote a scathing review about the decline of Logitech products quality. I was having problems with the mice, the buttons where acting up, and I needed a mouse (NOW) that worked so I went to the local brick & mortar store and bought the same mouse, which had the same problems. I ended up getting hundred dollar mouse made for CAD professionals. Since then I got a Logitech mechanical keyboard, with the cherry keys, great product and I love it. I’ve also purchased a couple Logitech mice lately and had no problems with them. This keyboard is much nicer than what I expected, I love the solid feel of it, it is very heavy for its size. I wanted this one for the ability to switch between three different computers. I have one Windows 10 machine and two Linux ones in a corner of my man cave. I’ve purchased two HDMI KVM switches recently, and both where DOA, not working at all right out of the box, and from different manufacturers. My monitor has three inputs, so all I really needed was a single keyboard and mouse for all three. The Logitech MX mouse is still on the way. The set up was a bit problematic. The Windows machine set up very easy, but after a restart the keyboard was no longer paired. I had to drag out my old one to log into Windows, not so handy since Windows re-starts itself constantly. Luckily, there was a firmware update for this keyboard that fixed the problem. You can get the update through the Logitech software that can be downloaded from their website. On one Linux machine I am currently running Linux Mint. Mint came with the blueman software preinstalled, I had to make several attempts to get the pairing to stick, partly because I’ve only used blueman a couple of times in the past to pair BT headphones to my old laptop. You must mark the keyboard as trusted to get a connection that lasts. I had a situation where it was connecting and disconnecting constantly until I did that. Works fine now, and it pairs itself after a restart. On the third computer I am running Debian 12, and I have not been able to get the keyboard paired at all. This computer is actually part of my stereo system. It is connected to my amps by way of a DAC, but I can control it from a phone or tablet, or from a web GUI on a different computer. It would be nice if this would work on Debian, but it’s not the end of the world. I almost docked this product a star because the product info is not completely accurate. On the product page it says:”Compatibility: Compatible with Logi Bolt USB Receiver (not included) . Logi Bolt wireless products will not pair with other Logitech USB receivers”. OK, you don’t need the Bolt USB Receiver to use this, I ordered them because it says this. The keyboard works with any Bluetooth receiver, I’m using one made by TP Link and another Knvo. The Bolt receivers are not here yet, they will be along in a couple days with the new MX mouse, even though they where part of the same order as this keyboard. When the Bolt receivers get here I will probably use them, because I had to rob the BT dongles off of my other computers to get this working right away. The limited instructions that came with the keyboard just said to pair it with Bluetooth, it does not even mention the Bolt receiver.

I Like It!
I really like this keyboard. I’ve only been using it for about two weeks, but I’m impressed. I like the solid feel. It’s quiet. It has a somewhat different layout for a few keys that I’m getting used to, but nothing dramatic. So far, I haven’t encountered any cons. If that happens and they’re significant enough, I’ll update my review. In the meantime, here’s a list of things that are important to me for my use:- Solid build. It has weight and substance that makes it look and feel like it will last.- Backlit. It’s easy to see the keys in any lighting.- Letters don’t wear off. I’ve had keyboards from Logitech previously that I liked for most reasons, but the letters were painted on and wore off badly. But their backlit keyboards are different and don’t have that problem. I just had a Logitech backlit keyboard that I liked, but this one is even better.- Separate number pad. A must for me and my work (not an accountant, but still important).-Some have complained about the fact that the tilt on the keyboard is controlled by a solid bar across the bottom of the keyboard instead of having feet. I actually like this feature. Feet tend to get folded in sometimes and are a bit “fussy.” You don’t have to worry about this. And the degree of tilt is just right, I think.- I like the fact that it has both Bluetooth and Logitech proprietary USB connectivity. And I like the fact that it can connect to three different devices.It’s made for both Apple and PC computers, so some of the keys are dual labeled. Not a favorite feature of mine, but it’s fine.All in all, a great keyboard that I hope and trust will last a good number of years.

Es buenísimo lo recomiendo ampliamente. Esta es muy superior al k380.
