OS-adaptive keyboard

The Logitech Keyboard K380 includes OS-adaptive keys that have different functions, depending on the operating system of the device you're typing on. The keyboard automatically detects the operating system on the currently selected device and remaps keys to provide functions and shortcuts where you expect them to be.

Manual selection

If the keyboard fails to correctly detect the operating system of a device, you can manually select the operating system by performing a long press (3 seconds) of a function key combination.

To select an OS:

• Mac OS X / iOS: Hold down fn + I for 3 seconds.
• Windows / Android: Hold down fn + P for 3 seconds.
• Chrome: (No specific combination shown, implies automatic detection or default behavior).

Multi-function keys

Unique multi-function keys make the Logitech Keyboard K380 compatible with most computers and mobile devices. Key label colors and split lines identify functions or symbols reserved for different devices and operating systems.

Key label color

Gray labels indicate functions available on Apple devices running Mac OS X or iOS. White labels on gray circles identify symbols reserved for use with Alt Gr on Windows computers.*

Split keys

Modifier keys on either side of the space bar display two sets of labels separated by split lines. The label above the split line shows the modifier sent to a Windows, Android, or Chrome device. The label below the split line shows the modifier sent to an Apple Macintosh, iPhone, or iPad. The keyboard automatically uses modifiers associated with the currently selected device.

*The Alt Gr (or Alt Graph) key that appears on many international keyboards replaces the right Alt key normally found to the right of the spacebar. When pressed in combination with other keys, Alt Gr enables entry of special characters.

Reserved key labels

• Gray: Reserved for use with Apple computers (Mac OS X) or iPhones and iPads (iOS). Example: Z + Alt + Cmd = «
• White on gray circle: Symbol reserved for use with Alt Gr on computers using Windows. Example: M + Alt + Cmd = μ

Split key labels

• Above: Windows and Android
• Below: Mac OS X and iOS

Diagram Description: Images show examples of key combinations for split keys. One shows 'Z' with 'Alt' and 'Cmd' resulting in '«' for Mac/iOS. Another shows 'M' with 'Alt' and 'Cmd' resulting in 'μ' for Windows. Another diagram shows modifier keys like 'start', 'alt', 'ctrl' with their respective labels for different OS.

Power management
