Our Verdict
Logitech K380
Lenovo ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II
The Logitech K380 and the Lenovo ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II are compact, low-profile keyboards. The Lenovo looks like the keyboard you find on a laptop, and it has a rubber pointing stick above its B key and mouse click buttons at the bottom of the board. While both boards have Bluetooth support, only the Logitech can pair with up to three devices at once, while the Lenovo can only pair to one device via Bluetooth and another with its USB receiver. Both use scissor switches, but the Lenovo's switches require less force to get over the tactile bump.
