Our Verdict
Logitech K480
Brydge 10.2 Keyboard for Apple iPad
The Brydge 10.2 Keyboard for Apple iPad is a slightly better keyboard than the Logitech K480. It has a much better build quality and typing experience, it features backlighting, and it's fully compatible with iPadOS. Like the Brydge, the Logitech can connect with any operating system, although some keys won't work depending on the software you're using. The Logitech can connect with up to three devices at once, and there's a dedicated software on macOS and Windows that allows you to reprogram some keys.
