The tiny Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard let me get work done almost anywhere
When I recently tested the new iPad 11, I found myself fortunate enough to have the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard on hand. Even though you can type on a tablet, its giant on-screen keyboard isn't perfect for writing more than a spare sentence or two. Yes, we love Apple's iPads, but nobody actually wants to tap out a whole paragraph – much less an email – on even the best tablet's glass screen. But when most iPad keyboard cases cost $199 and up, some might just accept that typing comfortably with a tablet is too rich for your digits. That's where the Keys-To-Go 2 fits in, as this affordable keyboard is sized to fit in practically any bag that has room for a tablet. But since plenty of keyboards look much better on paper than they feel in hand, I've been using the Keys-To-Go 2 for months to discover what I like (and dislike) about it. Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 Keyboard This ultra-portable keyboard comes with its own protective cover and lets you quickly switch between three connected devices over Bluetooth. It supports iPads, iPhones and Androids, as well as Chromebooks, Macs and Windows computers. Amazingly portable design The Keys-To-Go 2's ultimate feature is its slim dimensions, as Logitech's basically figured out the minimum viable size needed for a keyboard. Yes, bigger portable options exist, but not everyone needs their keyboard to also be their tablet's touchpad and case. Instead, you could simply keep this keyboard in whatever bag you always throw your iPad or other tablet in, as its 7.8-ounce weight is so light you'll never realize it's in there. Packing the Keys-To-Go 2 in my bag meant I could take journaling breaks everywhere from the gym to my local coffee house, without packing my laptop and ensuring a lighter bag. That weight and its slender measurements (think about a magazine cut in half from the top side) include the Keys-To-Go 2's keyboard cover flap, a necessary perk for everyone who actually wants to keep this thing safe — and may have traveled with snacks that turned into crumbs. While the Keys-To-Go 2's hard and soft materials feel durable, I am definitely happy it comes with the cover for added protection, as I've rarely vacuumed my backpacks. Oh, and speaking of this keyboard's materials, this is one of Logitech's many sustainable devices. The company proudly boasts that the Keys-To-Go 2 includes certified post-consumer recycled plastic, and that the Graphite model I tested is made of 36% of recycled materials. A good typing experience and a better price While there was a slight learning curve created by the Keys-To-Go 2's smaller size and some of its very small keys (the half-width dash and equals keys in particular), I'm amazed by how easy it has been to type on this miniature keyboard. Each key has 1 millimeter of travel, the vertical space a key moves before it sends the signal to your computer, which is just enough in my experience. I've known people who think the best keyboards should be built for 1.5mm of travel to ensure comfortable typing. And while I still agree with that, I've found that Keys-To-Go 2 typing experience is good enough — even for a whole day's work when I switched out the ergonomically-friendly Logitech Wave Keys so I could write this review at my home office. I'd say this makes it perfect for shorter bursts of typing, say if you're at a coffee shop or waiting for your plane at the airport terminal. But don't think you're skimping on special features, as the top row of the Keys-To-Go 2 provides volume, brightness, pause/play and other controls. Logitech also provides its standard device-switching F1, F2 and F3 keys, so you can easily jump between up to three different iOS, Android, Windows or ChromeOS devices. It also supports Logitech's Smart Actions software for custom-created tricks; check out my Logitech Pop Icon Keys keyboard review for more details on that. The quality of typing on the Keys-To-Go 2 feels perfectly aligned with its price, which has been marked down from $80 to $65 last I saw. In my time testing various keyboard cases and folios from the top manufacturers, I've noticed they often hit triple digits. For example, Apple's least-expensive keyboard case is a whopping $249. Sure, it's also a protective case and includes a touchpad, but you could buy three Keys-To-Go 2 for that much. And if you want a super-portable and affordable mouse to pair with it, check out the Logitech Pop mouse. If you're OK with a pricier solution than the Keys-To-Go 2, Logitech just revealed a new keyboard case for Apple's iPad Air and iPad Pro called the Flip Folio. Available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, the Flip Folio packs a magnetically-attaching keyboard and can adjust between multiple angles. And at $160 for the 11-inch model and $180 for the 13-inch counterpart, it's still more affordable than most other premium keyboard cases. Logitech Flip Folio Designed for the iPad Air and iPad Pro, this folding case allows you to angle your iPad at the angle you prefer, and you can rotate your iPad into portrait orientation so you can use your tablet and iPhone side-by-side and switch between them with the press of a button. Practically unbelievable battery life In my decade of writing product reviews, I don't know if I've ever seen anything with an advertised battery life of 'up to' three years, but I have now. Yes, Logitech says the Keys-To-Go 2 will outlast practically all of the other battery-powered electronics in your house, even some smoke detectors. That said, a Logitech representative confirmed to CNN Underscored that this estimate is based on two hours of 'continuous typing' per day. You'll want to make sure to flip the power switch off when throwing the Keys-To-Go 2 in a bag, because using the built-in cover doesn't turn the keyboard off, and that flap isn't stiff enough to prevent accidental actuation. I've had my Keys-To-Go 2 since January and used it intermittently without paying attention to the power switch, and it's currently still got a full battery according to the Logitech Options+ app. Smaller size creates a slight learning curve and possible problem The downside of the Keys-To-Go 2's portability is that this keyboard isn't exactly built for bigger hands. Everything's a bit tight and compact here, so you might find that the keys are slightly smaller than you're used to on a regular keyboard. Those who know their hands are a bit larger than most should probably think twice before buying in. This hasn't been a huge problem for me, as I've got what I'd call relatively medium-sized hands. Touch-typing wasn't as natural for me at first, but I adapted to it in mere hours. An awkward design choice The Keys-To-Go 2 doesn't recharge like your average keyboard or mouse. Instead, it's powered by a pair of CR2032 coin cell batteries that are only accessible with a T5 screwdriver. Maybe you have that 0.055-inch screwdriver, maybe you don't. Three years is enough time to find one, just keep an eye out for when the little light indicator above the delete key turns red — that's your warning sign its battery is down to 5% or less. To check its battery life beforehand, connect the Keys-To-Go 2 to a laptop or desktop, and download the Logitech Options+ app. It will show you the keyboard's current battery charge amount in the bottom left corner. And remember: that low battery light might blink red earlier than expected if you're not being smart about the power switch. Flip it off whenever you're throwing it in a bag to go as long as you can without having to learn what CR2032 batteries and T5 screwdrivers look like. I've become a big fan of the Keys-To-Go 2 in my months testing it, to the point where I've actually caught myself singing 'L-O-G-I, Keys, To Go!' to the tune of Chappell Roan's 'Hot To Go!' Not only is it a great portable keyboard for the iPad, but it also worked well for me when it was time to write the majority of this review at home. That said, much like the iPad itself, it's not for everyone. Those with bigger hands should definitely look elsewhere, and those who would rather get the convenience of a self-charging case should consider one of Apple's many options. But for the vast majority of tablet owners, the Keys-To-Go 2 might be the perfect keyboard accessory that works great both at home and, yes, on the go. What colors does the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard come in? What colors does the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard come in? Logitech sells the Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard in three color options. I tested the Graphite model, which is mostly black and gray. There's also a Pale Gray model that you might call white, and the third option is a purple design Logitech calls Lilac. What devices is the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard compatible with? What devices is the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard compatible with? Nearly every kind of computing device that you can think of that supports Bluetooth. Logitech lists iPads, iPhones, Android phones and tablets, Macs, PCs, Chromebooks and Windows devices. That said, I'd bet it also works with Linux machines as well. How thin is the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard? How thin is the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 keyboard? The Keys-To-Go 2 features a tapered design that is 0.17 inches on the front of the keyboard and 0.35 inches at the rear.

Magic Cue on the Pixel 10 sounds like Pixel Screenshots on steroids
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has reportedly been working on a new AI-powered assistance tool for Pixel devices since 2023. The system would monitor your screen and actions in apps, and offer 'personal predictive suggestions.' First known as Pixie, and then Pixel Sense, a new leak suggests Google has renamed the tool to Magic Cue. Who doesn't love a good mystery? In the smartphone world, upcoming high-profile devices sometimes leak so much that it feels like there's nothing left to know about them. While that can be really satisfying, it's also a lot of fun to watch a more nebulous rumor evolve over time, raising question after question as the story behind it slowly unfolds. We're still not quite to the bottom of this one yet, but this week a new leak adds a curious chapter to the story of Pixie and Pixel Sense. In case you haven't been following this one, we first heard about Pixie back in late 2023, described as a new on-device AI-powered assistant for Pixel hardware. It failed to materialize for the Pixel 9 series, but then just this March we reported on Google's interest in retooling the service as Pixel Sense and introducing it with Pixel 10 phones. Further analysis suggested this would be less like the interactive voice assistants we have with the Google Assistant and now Gemini, and more like an automation tool — even spinning off into Pixel Screenshots. Apparently Google wasn't done with reinventing this project yet, because over on Telegram, Mystic Leaks shares a short video recording with the claim that Pixel Sense has found a new name in the form of Magic Cue (via 9to5Google). As you can see in these screengrabs from the video, Magic Cue does indeed seem to be taking the form that we were beginning to expect from Pixel Sense, using AI to gather information about what you're doing in apps, and predictively trying to help get stuff done. If the idea of AI reading your chats just sounds like a privacy trade-off you could do without, it's reassuring to see that users will have to positively opt in to Magic Cue, as this setup screen does not depict the service as being on by default. The source here claims that Magic Cue is on track for introduction alongside the Pixel 10, and considering the false start with the Pixel 9, we really hope that's finally true. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Amazon joins the big nuclear party, buying 1.92 GW for AWS
Amazon tapped into an emerging trend this week, one that's seeing big tech firms buy power from existing nuclear power plants. The tech company will power a chunk of its AWS cloud and AI servers using 1.92 gigawatts of electricity from Talen Energy's Susquehanna nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. Amazon is the latest hyperscaler to go direct to big nuclear operators, following on the heels of Microsoft and Meta. Amazon's deal was announced Wednesday, but it's not entirely new, instead modifying an existing arrangement with Talen. The old version had Amazon building a data center next to the Susquehanna power plant, siphoning electricity directly from the facility without first sending it to the grid. That deal was killed by regulators over concerns that customers would unfairly shoulder the burden of running the grid. Today, Susquehanna provides power to the grid, meaning every kilowatt-hour includes transmission fees that support the grid's maintenance and development. Amazon's behind-the-meter arrangement would have sidestepped those fees. This week's revisions shift Amazon's power purchase agreement in front of the meter, meaning the AWS data center will be billed like other similar customers who are grid-connected. The transmission lines will be reconfigured in spring of 2026, Talen said, and the deal covers energy purchased through 2042. But wait, there's more: The two companies also said they will look to build small modular reactors 'within Talen's Pennsylvania footprint' and expand generation at existing nuclear power plants. Expanding existing power plants is typically an easier way to add new nuclear. They might include switching to more highly enriched fuel to produces more heat, tweaking the settings to squeeze out more power, or renovating the turbines for a bigger bump.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Microsoft kicked off the trend last year when it announced that it would work with Constellation Energy to restart a reactor at Three Mile Island, a $1.6 billion project that will generate 835 megawatts. Meta hopped aboard earlier this month, also with Constellation, to buy the 'clean energy attributes' of a 1.1 gigawatt nuclear power plant in Illinois. Amazon and Talen's pledge to build new small modular reactors is a longer shot, though there, too, Amazon is in good company with its peers. Several startups pursuing the concept with the hopes of cutting construction costs by mass producing parts. Amazon has invested in an SMR startup, X-energy, which is planning to add 300 megawatts of nuclear generating capacity in the Pacific Northwest and Virginia. New generation at existing reactors and new SMRs are intended 'to add net-new energy to the PJM grid,' Talen said, referring to the region's grid operator. That last bit is likely a bid to head off any criticism from regulators about leaving ratepayers holding the bag.
