The Logitech Keys-To-Go is a very small keyboard that is great to bring around when traveling. It offers a more tactile feel than typing on a phone or tablet, but doesn't quite compare to a typical typing keyboard. The keys have a very small travel distance, meaning it's quite easy to make typos. On the upside, it feels rather well-built thanks to the nice rubber coating and it's one of the quietest options available.
Our Verdict
The Logitech Keys-To-Go isn't designed for gaming. It takes a lot of force to actuate the keys, and the latency is quite high. On top of that, it lacks backlighting and macro-programmable keys.

The Logitech Keys-To-Go is a great mobile keyboard. It connects to your devices via Bluetooth and allows for a better tactile typing than on the touchscreen of your phone or tablet. It's very portable due to its small size and lightweight design. Unfortunately, you can't connect it to multiple devices. You also need to buy the right variant for your device, as there are variants for Apple devices, and another for Windows/Android.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
Some Logitech Keys-To-Go are compatible with Android/Windows while others are fully compatible with Apple devices that run on iOS or iPadOS. We expect our review to be valid for both variants, but make sure to buy the right one for your devices.
Compared To Other Keyboards
The Logitech Keys-To-Go is an excellent portable keyboard due to its compact size and Bluetooth support. However, it provides a sub-par typing experience and lacks a multi-device pairing feature, which the Logitech K380 has. For more options, check out our recommendations for the best wireless keyboards, the best iPad keyboards, and the best cheap keyboards.
The Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 is an updated version of the Logitech Keys-To-Go. The original Keys-To-Go model includes a small stand for propping up mobile devices, which the new version lacks. The original also has a rubberized coating on the top of the keyboard and the keys, while the new model doesn't. Instead, the Keys-To-Go 2 has a flip-out cover that can help protect the typing surface when you're not using it. The Keys-To-Go 2 also offers a better typing experience with more lightweight keystrokes. Lastly, the newer model uses coin cell batteries, while the original used a micro-USB cable to recharge.
The Apple Magic Keyboard 2017 is much better than the Logitech Keys-To-Go for most uses, although the Logitech is meant more as a portable keyboard for mobile devices. The Apple provides a significantly better typing experience because it requires a lot less force to operate the keys and gives more satisfying tactile feedback. Also, it has better build quality and is more comfortable to type on. That said, the Apple keyboard isn't compatible with Android devices.
Overall, the Logitech K380 is a much better keyboard than the Logitech Keys-To-Go. The K380 is more comfortable to type on, and its switches require a lot less force to actuate, providing a significantly better typing experience. Also, it has multi-device pairing and is compatible with Logitech's Options software for customization. On the other hand, the Keys-To-Go has a better build quality and a built-in rechargeable battery, whereas the K380 uses disposable batteries. The K380's latency is lower, but it's still not recommended for gaming.
The Logitech Keys-To-Go is a better option than the Logitech K480 if you're looking for a lightweight keyboard to bring around. It's noticeably smaller and lighter than the K480, but it can only be paired to one device at a time, while the K480 can be paired to three simultaneously. The Keys-To-Go is also rechargeable, while the K480 uses two AAA batteries. On the other hand, the Keys-To-Go has a very poor typing experience as the keys are mushy and require a lot of force to actuate.
The Brydge 10.2 Keyboard for Apple iPad is a much better keyboard than the Logitech Keys-To-Go. It has a much better typing experience, build quality, and ergonomics. It also has white backlighting for use in dark environments. The Logitech is lighter to carry around, and it's nearly silent when you're typing on it, perfect for use in a cafe or a library.
The Fintie Soft TPU Keyboard Case For iPad 7th Gen is a much better keyboard than the Logitech Keys-To-Go. The typing quality is much better and the ergonomics are significantly better. The Logitech has a much better build quality and it's fully compatible with macOS, while a few keys on the Fintie don't work on macOS.
The iClever Tri-Folding Keyboard BK08 is a better keyboard for mobile devices and tablets than the Logitech Keys-To-Go. Its unique folding design is more portable, although it doesn't feel as durable as the Logitech's design. On the other hand, the iClever has a trackpad and can be connected to three different Bluetooth devices. Its keys also offer a slightly better typing experience than the Logitech.
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.
The Logitech Keys-To-Go and Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s are both highly portable, low-profile keyboards. The Keys-To-Go is slightly smaller and recharges with an included cable. It also has a small tray designed to prop up a mobile device or small tablet, but it doesn't support multi-device pairing. Despite its slightly smaller size, it also feels a bit more sturdy. Comparatively, the Pebble Keys 2 is slightly larger and uses two AAA batteries for power. It supports multi-device pairing with up to three devices and offers a better typing experience.
Test Results
The Logitech Keys-To-Go, as its name suggests, is a very small and portable option that is very portable.
Logitech has since released a follow-up to this keyboard called the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2. It's virtually the same size but adds a flip-out cover that can help protect your keyboard when you're not using it.
Although the Logitech Keys-To-Go is small and thin, it's fairly well-built. The keyboard is covered by a rubber coating and it feels very lightweight. While the coating feels durable enough, the edges might wear off prematurely.
This keyboard isn't made to have an ergonomic design. It lays completely flat and there's no incline setting or any wrist rest.
The keyboard doesn't have any backlighting options. It won't be ideal to type on in low-light situations. If you're looking for a mobile keyboard with backlighting, then check out the Brydge 10.2 Keyboard for Apple iPad.
The only cable the keyboard has is a short micro-USB charging cable.
This keyboard connects wirelessly to your source via Bluetooth. You can check your battery status with the battery button in the top right corner and recharge it with the included micro-USB cable. The manufacturer advertises a 3-month battery life if typing two hours daily. If you need a multi-device pairing feature, check out the Logitech K380 or its successor, the Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s.
This keyboard has very few extra features. It has dedicated media keys on the top row of the keyboard right above the numbers row, but unfortunately, you can't program keys to what you want, which is very disappointing. On the upside, there are also home, screenshot, quick search, and app switch buttons on the left of the media keys.

The Logitech Keys-To-Go's rubber dome switches have very minimal travel. The keys have a small bump near the actuation point, but they feel a bit mushy, and doesn't give great feedback as to when a key is pressed. If you prefer more typical keycaps that don't require as much force, check out the Logitech K480.
Typing on the Logitech Keys-To-Go feels sub-par. Although the rubber finish feels nice, the keys are hard to press and don't offer any satisfactory feedback. Also, since the travel needed to register a key is rather low, this keyboard is prone to typos. On the upside, the keys feel stable but can be tiring during long periods of writing. If you want a Bluetooth keyboard that has a better overall typing experience, check out the AmazonBasics K4R or the Fintie Soft TPU Keyboard Case For iPad 7th Gen.
This keyboard is near silent when typing on it. It's one of the quietest keyboards we've reviewed so far.
The latency is fairly high. It should be fine for general typing, but it's not recommended for gaming.
There's no dedicated compatible software for customization options.
Overall, this keyboard has great compatibility. It connects to your source via Bluetooth and can be used on any platform. However, some macOS shortcuts can't be used on Windows, Linux, and Android. Note that there are Apple and Android/Windows model variants of this keyboard. You must choose your preferred variant depending on your own devices. Our unit was Apple-compatible.
