Logitech K580 Slim Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard Chrome OS Edition Review
Sometimes all you need is a basic keyboard. Logitech's K580 Slim Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard ($49.99) and companion mouse, the M355 Wireless Mouse for Chrome OS, were created to pair up with Google's Pixelbook line of laptops (and have the "Made for Google" badge to prove it). The K580 is one of the few third-party keyboards optimized for Chromebooks, with the familiar top row of browser- and system-control keys, plus dedicated Google Assistant and search/menu buttons. It also has a built-in, trough-style stand for an Android smartphone and keys for switching its input between Chromebook and phone. In fact, given that its best assets are its portability and battery life, one might argue that it's a better companion for a mobile device than for a Chromebook or Chromebox. I'd still rather have a mechanical keyboard at home, but think of it as a handy travel keyboard that happens to play well with Chrome OS.
Androids and Chromebooks First
The K580 is novel but unassuming. You mig...
Despite offering rare priority to Chrome OS, Logitech's K580 Slim Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard is arguably more useful for laptop- and phone-toting travelers than for Chromebook users.
