Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard with Built-in Touchpad – Easy-access Media Keys and Shortcut Keys for Windows or Android

So far I have tried USB on Win10 PC and bluetooth on iOS14 iPhone. Both connections provide excellent debouncing for typing. No issues at all with CTRL-C or anything like that. I expect Logitech to be experts in this. I have tried many other wireless keyboards from various brands which all suffer from double types and missed keys. This unit has not skipped or double typed anything at all woohoooo success! I am not using it for gaming so take that into consideration. The touchpad single-finger mousing is a little tiny bit jumpy from time to time. But it's not a show stopper and I suspect it can be solved by antenna reorientation. Two-finger scrolling is very jumpy and it's a bit annoying. Other reviewers have reported the same. So in conclusion Logitech may not be the king of touchpads but for typing this unit is excellent. The scrolling issue could be resolved by adding a scroll wheel (or by fixing the touchpad problems). The backlight is the major reason for my purchase, that coupled with the touchpad and volume controls sold me. Mouse left and right buttons are a little hard to find because those are not backlit. I like the fact that the battery is not completely impossible to replace as this thing ages out. Only time will tell how long the battery lasts. But so far it's been fine for my purposes. The single touch mute and volume buttons is a huge selling feature for me. One last thing I like is that the F1-F12 keys are activated through the red FN key. I like that they put the media and shortcut keys as the foreground buttons and put the F1-F12 keys in the background. Overall this is a great compact style keyboard for browsing and light typing. Do not expect amazing ergonomics. Definitely expect lightweight compact error free typing. There is no need for a number pad because numbers are located in their standard positions above the QWERTY area. Up, down, left, right are a little small but with practice it will be fine. Like any other new keyboard you have to gain practice time. All of the above works perfectly without special drivers or software installs.

The Logitech K830 is about as premium as a home theater keyboard can get. This keyboard is a perfect fit for those full keyboard typist like myself who prefer a standard keyboard like the one you would find on a laptop pc. Your ten fingers will find the home keys easily and stay put. To be completely upfront. It is slightly smaller than a standard keyboard layout. From the left shift key to the right shift key, the keyboard measures 10-1/4" inches. A standard keyboard measures 11" inches. The loss of 3/4" of an inch is bearly noticeable. It has a full-sized ENTER (RETURN) key and both the left and right shift keys are a standard 1-3/4" wide keys. Tabs are also standard sized. The spacebar, however, is slightly smaller than normal, 3-1/2" side. I added two full-sized keyboards for comparison. The Keytronics bluetooth keyboard and a wired Dell Mechanical keyboard.Despite being 3/4" of an inch less wide, it does have a generous touchpad for mouse navigation. The pad measures 3-1/8" wide by 2-1/8" tall. The pad is as good as those found in a good quality laptop touchpad. Furthermore, this keyboard is backlit making it easy to use in a darkened living room without the need to switch on a lamp. Perfect for the 5.1/7.1 surround home theater.One other thing. The keyboard is capable of entering input to two devices at once. Since the keyboard can pair with any Bluetooth device and pair with Logitech's own Unifying micro USB dongle, you could add the dongle to your smart tv, and Bluetooth connects the keyboard with your FireTV, Android TV (eg: Nvidia Shield TV), Apple TV box or even a PC computer and then switch the active device using a special keyboard combination on the keyboard itself. Nice eh?

It's an upgraded keyboard when comparing to the smaller cousin. Thile smaller cousin will last 10x more on battery life at least then this one. Only main difference is that this have bluetooth, rechargeable built in 1,100mah battery, and backlite. Mine work fine, I got it for $60, now it's almost double the price, which is a shame.. Not sure if it worth double the price. Battery life is about 12 days with no backlight and moderate use of 3 hrs a day. I use it for gaming on my bed lol (I know I shouldn't) but I use it 4 hours a day with backlight on and it last about 3 days. Connectivity sometime drops and act up when gaming. This is really more for multimedia/regular computer or tablet use.I bought a magnetic charging port so the micro usb wont break as some has stated. Mirco usb is not as robust as it should be. The weight is on the heavier side when compared to its little cousin because of the side aluminum panel, it is about 30% more weight about half a pound more.Is it worth it, yes at $60-$70. NO at $100+ You better give me wireless charging if you are going to charge $100+ lol.I needed it for my PC in my bedroom. I wish the battery was twice as long, 1100 mah is very weak, it should be 2,500 mah. 2x AA is around 3,000 mah. You would figure since this is an upgrade keyboard they would have better battery life. I will probably solder a new battery on it later on, doubling it. I guess you have to cut some corner for pricing.
