I haven’t been a huge fan of Bluetooth keyboards because most of them require you to change batteries periodically and they generally lack a number pad. In May, due to changes at work, I was faced with having 2 computers on my desk. While both computers were MacBook Pros, I didn’t want 2 keyboards, 2 trackpads, and didn’t have the room to really leave one laptop open all the time. Ideally I wanted a KVM switch, but I was attached to my Apple Bluetooth Trackpad and my Apple Thunderbolt display can’t be used with a KVM.
So where did that leave me? I had a second trackpad, so now I had 2 trackpads on my desk. I could easily unplug my Thunderbolt display and plug it into the other computer. I could keep my USB keyboard plugged into the Thunderbolt display and have it go along for the ride when I switched computers, but decided to look at keyboards that would switch between multiple devices. I settled on the Logitech K760
I quickly got used to the lack of a numeric keypad as the MacBook Pro’s built in keyboard doesn’t have one. Being able to switch between devices is easy and not having a wire was like a light shining down on me that I should have done it sooner! Even moving the keyboard slightly is less of a hassle as the cord isn’t coming with it.
In the 3 months that I’ve had the keyboard, it has been fantastic. I haven’t had any problems with it, it feels just like my Apple keyboard did and the addition of an off switch allows me to easily clean it. There isn’t a whole lot to say about a keyboard; I type on it and it works.
Pros
- Wireless
- Supports up to 3 Bluetooth devices
- Recharges via solar panels on it
Cons
- No numeric keypad
Summary
If you’re looking for a wireless keyboard, this keyboard is definitely worth a look. Not having to change batteries alone could be the deciding factor. The multiple device support may seem like a gimmick, but I find I use it all the time even for my iPad. This keyboard rivals Apple’s Bluetooth keyboard, in my opinion.
