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

Greatest media centre / HTPC keyboard in history. I love that on the trackpad there are physical mouse buttons, lights up for use in the dark and has a built in battery. Charges simply via USB, charge lasts around a week. Just plug in the receiver and ready to go, no need for software or drivers just works. Much better than others such as Logitechs lesser model and Microsoft's offering with it's no physical mouse buttons.. Only possible gripe is because has the soft feel plastic/rubber coating it is a magnet for finger prints. Combine with usual movie fair of chips and such and a recipe for a shocking looking keyboard.

Item received in good condition.

Es uno de los pocos modelos de teclado "todo en uno" (o sea que tiene tapetito de ratón integrado) que ofrece Bluetooth. Se puede utilizar con su receptor USB (que utiliza Unifying, la tecnología propietaria de Logitech) o diréctamente conectarse mediante Bluetooth (sin necesidad del receptor), permitiendo utilizarlo desde computadoras personales (yo lo he probado con Win10) y también desde Android. Otro atractivo es el precio al que lo está ofreciendo Amazon (~$1,440 MXN precio final en Morelos), debajo de los precios ofrecidos en Mercado Libre y Linio (entre otros). En México se acostumbra vender la tecnología cara (tal vez es un favor de los comerciantes por ser un país en vías de desarrollo ¿?); algunos argumentan que es por el IVA ¡como si los estadounidenses no pagaran impuestos!. Para muestra un botón... El teclado es de excelente calidad y funciona muy bien, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Beautiful...perfect for living room. On rare occasions cursor responds with a delay. Good for typing. Back-lighting has 2 levels of brightness and is amply bright. Not light as a feather but could be comfortably placed in the lap.

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.
