A phone propped against a mug works until the mug moves. The Logitech K480 puts a device cradle directly above its keys, then adds a dial for switching between three paired Bluetooth devices. It is an appealingly physical answer to a desk shared by a computer, a phone and a tablet.
The cradle is the reason to consider it
The selected listing allows devices up to 10 inches wide and 0.4 inches thick. Measure the device with its case on. A bulky protective cover can turn a compatible tablet into a poor fit, and the cradle is not a charging dock.
Place the keyboard where the screen angle works for you, rather than assuming a fixed slot replaces an adjustable stand. If your tablet already has a good case and stand, the built-in cradle may add less than you expect.
A dial, not three simultaneous typing destinations
Pair compatible Bluetooth devices and turn the Easy-Switch dial to choose which one receives your typing. That is useful when moving from a computer document to a longer phone message. It does not type into all three at once, and Bluetooth support must include external-keyboard input.
The compact layout keeps the footprint around 299 × 195 mm. At approximately 820 g, this is better understood as a stable desk keyboard you can move than the lightest travel keyboard. Two AAA batteries provide power; this is not a USB-rechargeable model.
Know why this older design still interests you
Logitech now places K480 in its end-of-life product section. The selected Amazon listing had a new purchasing option when reviewed, but that does not promise ongoing model production or future software updates. Choose it because the cradle and dial suit your routine—not because it has modern backlighting, a receiver or a number pad. If you need those features, compare a different keyboard before buying. Research-based guidance, without a personal typing test.
