Our Verdict
Logitech K480
Logitech Keys-To-Go 2
The Logitech K480 and the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 are compact, low-profile keyboards designed for use with mobile devices. The K480 has an integrated stand for mobile devices, which the Keys-To-Go 2 lacks. On the other hand, the Keys-To-Go 2 includes a flip-out cover that can help protect the keyboard in transit or whenever it's not in use. While both keyboards provide a similar overall typing quality, the switches are a bit less mushy and offer a better tactile typing experience on the Keys-To-Go 2. Both keyboards have a fairly cramped layout with tightly spaced keys due to their compact, portability-focused designs.
