Our Verdict

Logitech K380

Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s

The Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s is a newer version of the Logitech K380. The K380s is available in several new colorways, depending on your region. It also has a significantly longer advertised battery life and has several new default shortcuts for things like Emojis, screenshots, and dictation. Lastly, it's newly compatible with Logitech's BOLT USB receiver, but it doesn't include one in the box.
