Our Verdict

Logitech K380

Logitech POP Keys

The Logitech K380 and Logitech POP Keys are both compact wireless keyboards. The K380 is low-profile and has membrane switches, while the POP Keys uses mechanical TTC Brown switches. The K380 is a much thinner board, making it easier to carry around with you in a bag. On the other hand, the POP Keys has dedicated emoji keys, which is helpful if you're sending a message to a friend and want to instantly send an emoji from your keyboard. Both boards have round keys, but the POP Keys is harder to type on because of the much longer pre-travel distance.
