The square, chiclet-style keys give you plenty of surface area to find the right character without facilitating mistakes. Though it packs a lot into a small space, it never feels cramped to type on. It fits in your lap and leaves plenty of room for a cup of coffee at a small cafe table. Despite having a full number pad and 101 keys, it's pretty small-0.75 inch thick, with a footprint of 14.6 by 5.7 inches. You might cock your head when you see the graphite and gray keyboard. I'd still rather have a mechanical keyboard at home, but think of it as a handy travel keyboard that happens to play well with Chrome OS. In fact, given that its best assets are its portability and battery life, one might argue that it's a better companion for a mobile device than for a Chromebook or Chromebox. It also has a built-in, trough-style stand for an Android smartphone and keys for switching its input between Chromebook and phone. The K580 is one of the few third-party keyboards optimized for Chromebooks, with the familiar top row of browser- and system-control keys, plus dedicated Google Assistant and search/menu buttons. Logitech's K580 Slim Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard ($49.99) and companion mouse, the M355 Wireless Mouse for Chrome OS, were created to pair up with Google's Pixelbook line of laptops (and have the 'Made for Google' badge to prove it). Sometimes all you need is a basic keyboard.
