Our Verdict

Logitech Keys-To-Go

AmazonBasics K4R

The AmazonBasics K4R is a better office keyboard than Logitech Keys-To-Go, which is better suited for mobile devices thanks to its Bluetooth connection. The feedback of the AmazonBasics switches is better and will be more similar to typical keyboards, while the rubberized keycaps of the Logitech are harder to press down.
