day-to-day work. \u00a0I am certainly a faster typist than a texter and using the keyboard has helped me to be more efficient with my time. \u00a0I can work at my PC and keep in contact with friends and associates via texting on my phone using just one keyboard. \u00a0All I need to do is turn a dial on my Logitech keyboard and\u00a0I can type on up to 3 devices\/PC&#8217;s at one time, I love it!<\/p>\n<p>I like that the keyboard is open to many platforms- meaning I can use it for Android, Windows, or Apple devices. \u00a0This works well in our family as we have Android tablets, iPad&#8217;s, and Windows PC&#8217;s. \u00a0This Logitech keyboard would also be great for grandparents. \u00a0They too hate to type on cellphones and this might just be the ticket you need to get them to begin texting more. \u00a0With the phone cradling so well within the keyboard, the phone will be kept upright and secure while they type.<\/p>\n<p>I love the flexibility the Logitech Multi-Device keyboard affords and at under $40, it is actually less expensive than many other keyboards out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Logitech Multi-Device
