Logitech on Tuesday launched a new wireless keyboard and mouse built for Google's Chrome OS : the Logitech K580 Slim Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard, Chrome OS Edition, and the Logitech M355 Portable Wireless Mouse. The "Made for Google" devices pair well with the Google Pixelbook , Logitech said in a release.
The keyboard features a Google Assistant key, a row of Chrome OS shortcut keys and a number pad, as well as slim keys with scissor switches. Users can place their Android or Pixel phone in a cradle at the top to switch typing among up to two devices using Logitech Easy-Switch (Logitech's release initially stated the keyboard pairs with three devices, but a company representative later said it only pairs with two). The keyboard has a battery life of up to 36 months, and an auto-sleep feature puts the device into battery saving mode when not being used.
