Which to Buy? Logitech Pop Icon Keyboard Combo vs Pebble 2 K380S Set? — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00In this video we're going to compare the
2. 0:01Logitech Pebble Keys 2 to the Pop Icon
3. 0:03Keys. And we've also got the Pebble
4. 0:05Mouse and the Pop Mouse as well, so we
5. 0:06can go over all the differences whether
6. 0:08you buy just the keyboard or if you get
7. 0:10the combo version of either of these. So
8. 0:11if you look at them side by side, the
9. 0:12first thing you'll notice is the Pebble
10. 0:14Keys is significantly smaller than the
11. 0:16Pop Icon and it also has circular
12. 0:18buttons instead of the a little bit more
13. 0:20square buttons of the Pop Icon. Another
14. 0:23thing that's very different about these
15. 0:24is you have a couple extra buttons on
16. 0:26the side of the Pop Icon and you can
17. 0:28reprogram those buttons as well with all
18. 0:29the other function buttons using the
19. 0:31Logi Options Plus app. On the Pebble
20. 0:33Keys 2, you can reprogram F4 all the way
21. 0:36over to F12 buttons on it, so that's
22. 0:37really nice that they give you the
23. 0:38ability to reprogram it. You just don't
24. 0:40have those on the side. Also, you will
25. 0:42notice that you get full-size arrow keys
26. 0:44on the Icon and you get half-size arrow
27. 0:46keys and your function keys are smaller
28. 0:48on the Pebble Keys 2 than they are on
29. 0:50the Pop Icon. Also, on the Pop Icon the
30. 0:52angle is a little bit higher on it. I
31. 0:54find this one is a little bit more
32. 0:55comfortable to type on. Also, just
33. 0:57having the bigger keys gives you a
34. 0:58little bit better concept of where your
35. 1:00fingers are at on the keyboard. So let's
36. 1:02do a quick typing test of both of these.
37. 1:21So I definitely notice the Pebble Keys
38. 1:23is a little bit louder, but it's also
39. 1:24significantly smaller. So the first main
40. 1:27advantage to buying the Pebble Keys 2 is
41. 1:29if you travel a lot and you want to
42. 1:30stuff this in a backpack or a suitcase,
43. 1:32this one is going to be easier to travel
44. 1:34with, but honestly the Pop Icon Keys is
45. 1:36so much more comfortable to type on. I
46. 1:38really appreciate the extra buttons on
47. 1:39the side as well. I've just found that
48. 1:41the size of these keys really makes a
49. 1:42difference for me in terms of being able
50. 1:44to know where I'm at and to confidently
51. 1:46type. It's just a lot easier on the Pop
52. 1:48Icon Keys. If we compare the mouses that
53. 1:50both of these come with, they look very
54. 1:52similar, but the Pop Mouse is taller
55. 1:54than the Pebble Mouse. On the Pebble
56. 1:55Mouse, you can also reprogram what the
57. 1:57scroll click does, but on the Pop mouse,
58. 1:59you can reprogram what clicking the
59. 2:00scroll wheel does. And there's also a
60. 2:01second customizable button below it as
61. 2:03well. So, this one's a little bit more
62. 2:05customizable, but I definitely don't
63. 2:06recommend the mouses on these as much as
64. 2:09I recommend the keyboards themselves,
65. 2:10especially if you're going for the Pop
66. 2:11icon keys. You can pair this with some
67. 2:13nicer mouses like the MX Master 3S, MX
68. 2:16Anywhere 3S, or the Apple Magic Trackpad
69. 2:18also pairs really well with this. So,
70. 2:20there's a couple different choices with
71. 2:22the Pop icon, but if you just want to
72. 2:23get the combo, both of these are okay,
73. 2:25but I do notice that they're both a
74. 2:27little bit shallower and they're not
75. 2:28super big. So, these are going to be
76. 2:30better for users who aren't using the
77. 2:31mouse for a long time. But, the Pop icon
78. 2:34keys definitely stands out to me over
79. 2:35the Pebble Keys 2 just because it's more
80. 2:37comfortable to type on. You also get
81. 2:39more customizable buttons, and probably
82. 2:41my favorite feature is it has dedicated
83. 2:43brightness buttons for your screen on
84. 2:44it, which you do not have on the Pebble
85. 2:46Keys 2. So, that's definitely missing
86. 2:48there. I also like the size of the all
87. 2:50commands, control buttons on the bottom
88. 2:52of the Pop icon as well. They're just a
89. 2:54little bit bigger. Couple other things
90. 2:56about these, they each use AAA
91. 2:57batteries, and you get about 36 months
92. 2:59of battery life out of them. Also, if
93. 3:01you compare the colors, there's a couple
94. 3:02different options with each of them
95. 3:03depending on when and where you're
96. 3:05getting them from, but the Pop Keys does
97. 3:07have more contrasty color options. So,
98. 3:09they're a little bit brighter, a little
99. 3:10bit more bold. Like this gray one has
100. 3:12the white keys on the side and has black
101. 3:14and gray keys. On the Pebble Keys, there
102. 3:16I believe is black, gray, rose. There
103. 3:19might be a blue version of this, a white
104. 3:20version of this as well. Accent keys
105. 3:22that go with them as well. So, a little
106. 3:23bit brighter, a little bit bolder. The
107. 3:25Pop icon goes for $50, and the Pebble
108. 3:27Keys 2 goes for $40. But, if you get the
109. 3:30combo version of the Pebble, it's just
110. 3:31$50. The combo version of the icon is
111. 3:34$70. So, both of these are very similar
112. 3:36in price, very close in price. But, if
113. 3:38you're just going for the keyboard, I
114. 3:40would definitely recommend spending a
115. 3:41little bit more to get the Pop icon. Get
116. 3:44the Pebble Keys if you need to stuff it
117. 3:45in a backpack and travel more. But, if
118. 3:47you want to have a keyboard that's
119. 3:48better suited to use for all day typing,
120. 3:50And recommend the Pop icon. This one's
121. 3:52just more comfortable and a little bit
122. 3:54more usable in my opinion. If you have
123. 3:56any other questions about either of
124. 3:57these, leave a comment down below. I'll
