Our Verdict

Logitech K480

Logitech K585

The Logitech K480 and the Logitech K585 are similar low-profile wireless keyboards that support multi-device pairing and have small trays to prop up phones and tablets. The K480 has a more compact (65%) size, but it has a somewhat wider slot to accommodate larger tablets. It also supports multi-device pairing with up to three devices simultaneously. On the other hand, the Logitech K585 is a full-size model, which means it includes a Numpad. However, it only supports multi-device pairing with two devices simultaneously.
