#LOGITECH BLUETOOTH EASY SWITCH K811 KEYBOARD FOR MAC REVIEW BLUETOOTH#
I've never had to drop into Bluetooth preferences on any of the Apple devices I've paired the keyboard to, and it remembers its own settings even when I turn the K811 off with the rather lovely side toggle on/off switch. Pairing to any device is as simple as pressing the Connect button, which is recessed on the bottom of the keyboard, and then pressing the F key I'd like to pair a device to. When I'm bored with it all and want to relax with a little bit of Netflix, I hit the F2 key and the keyboard seamlessly switches to the Apple TV. When I want to type on the Mac mini (like I am right now), I hit the F1 key. When I need to chat with co-workers via Skype on the iPad mini, I hit the F3 key. I write with my iPad mini and my Mac mini running at the same time. The F1, F2, and F3 keys are switcher keys, meaning that in order to use one of the paired devices, I simply press the F key that corresponds to the device I want to use. I've got it connected to my Apple TV (go firmware updates!), my iPad mini, and my Mac mini (itself attached to my HDTV in my living room). The Logitech Illuminated Easy Switch Keyboard for Apple devices is super easy to use and pair.
While I used the K9810 fairly often, and still do if I'm connecting to a Windows device, the K811's Mac-flavored keyboard layout is stunningly familiar, and enables me to stop fussing about with remembering what Windows-style button I need to press when I need a Command key (the Windows key) or an Option key (the Alt key, of course). This model has the same delightful feel as the K810, and really, it's the same device with one telling difference: the Command key. Today, I have to revise that conclusion, as the Logitech K811 Bluetooth keyboard is now, hands-down, my favorite keyboard, Bluetooth or otherwise.
Device Reviewed With: iPad 3, iPad mini, Mac mini, Apple TVĪlright, so I have to clarify: when I reviewed the K810 Bluetooth keyboard from Logitech this past December, I called it the best keyboard I'd ever used.
