Have you ever been in the middle of a bustling airport, frantically trying to get work done on a delayed flight, only to realize that your usual keyboard setup feels bulky and impractical? This was precisely the scenario I found myself in while navigating busy train stations and airports during a trip to China. Between crowded terminals and the inevitable hunt for reliable Wi-Fi, the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard became an unexpected ally.
Blast from the past: Keys-to-Go – Latest Washable Waterproof Logitech Keyboard
Lightweight, portable, and simple to set up, it allowed me to stay productive without compromise, even in the most chaotic of environments. A special thanks to Logitech for providing a test unit, allowing me to truly put this compact keyboard through its paces in real-world travel conditions. The Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 aims to be your lightweight and reliable partner, especially when working outside the office. This review takes you through the key details and experience of using this keyboard as a mobile companion.
Simplicity meets design
Visually, the Keys-To-Go 2 keeps things simple. The keyboard comes in three colors: pale gray (very similar to the tone used with the Logitech MX Master 4 mouse, which we tested last week), graphite, and lilac, so users can pick whichever matches their preference or device. The design focus is clear, no frills, just business.
The device stands out for its thin, compact design. Logitech added a protective cover, making it easy to slide into any bag, so you don’t have to worry about scratches or bumps on your commute. At 222 grams, it is lighter than most smartphones. That means you might forget you’re carrying it at all, giving you as much freedom as possible when you’re out and about.
Portable power without the hassle
To keep the keyboard so slim and functional on the go, Logitech opted for battery operation rather than an internal rechargeable unit. The Keys-To-Go 2 runs on coin cell batteries, with an estimated life of up to 36 months. That’s years of use with no need for a power cord or hunting for a socket. Just pop the batteries in and forget about them for the foreseeable future. One trade-off: swapping out batteries does require a small Torx screwdriver. While that’s not ideal compared with standard battery compartments, this is the only real stumbling block in a product that’s otherwise as easy as it gets.
A significant strength of the Keys-To-Go 2 is its thoughtfully spaced keys. The keyboard layout is crafted so users’ fingers can move comfortably, even over extended periods of typing. The keys themselves have a low, consistent height, helping promote accurate and enjoyable typing sessions, whether you’re clearing your inbox or drafting longer documents.
Modern shortcuts for everyday use
Logitech includes a whole row of shortcut keys to streamline daily tasks. Whether you need to adjust brightness, tweak the device’s volume, or quickly drop in an emoji, you can do so with a single tap. It’s worth noting that individual shortcut combinations can vary, depending on whether you connect to a smartphone, tablet, or another device. The feature set is tailored to be adaptable, rather than rigid.
Switching between devices is one of this keyboard’s core features. With a single press, users can seamlessly switch between up to three paired devices. For example, you could work on a laptop, answer messages on your tablet, and then switch to your smartphone, a real-world workflow that happens instantly without lag. In practice, this results in a smooth, delay-free experience that meets the needs of modern mobile work.
Conclusion
Logitech’s Keys-To-Go 2 isn’t just a tool; it is a reliable companion for anyone who wants to remain productive on the go. Whether you’re a student, a traveling professional, or someone who juggles multiple devices, this keyboard offers a blend of minimal weight, extended battery life, and flexible connectivity. The device is currently priced at 79.99 USD on Amazon, which is in line with what would be expected for a product from a premium brand, and it is anticipated to last many years.
If you value the freedom to work whenever and wherever inspiration strikes, the Keys-To-Go 2 is worth serious consideration. What else would you expect from an accessory designed to keep up with the pace of your ideas?
