The product with the CH layout is unfortunately sold out and can therefore no longer be offered by us. Unfortunately, we do not have more detailed information regarding the US_EN. :(
This product is unfortunately sold out and therefore no longer available. According to my information, the CH layout is no longer produced.
It is still available with US or DE layout:
Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K830 (USB, US, Wireless)
Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K830 (USB, DE, Wireless)
Otherwise, I can recommend the following product as an alternative: Logitech K400 Plus (USB, CH, Wireless)
I connected it to a UE55ES8080 with the supplied USB dongle. Everything worked for me. But it didn't work with the cable either. Youtube on the TV with a keyboard does not work. You still have to enter the search text with the cursor keys. This is probably due to the YouTube app and not the TV or its keyboard.
I use it with Win 10. For your use see: http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2014-05-17-logitech-k830-illuminated-living-room-keyboard-usb-wireless-touchpad

Hello,
I was able to connect to my Samsung TV via bluetooth, following the instructions on the TV.
It worked on the first try.
I bought it to be able to hit the keyboard faster (instead of juggling the remote), however, the keyboard doesn't respond 100%, so I left it out a bit, some keys don't go through.
Try the real Samsung keyboard VG-KBD1000 or 2000?!!!! which is about the same price. (note: I haven't tried it myself, so ... (note: I haven't tried it myself, so ... you decide!), but I think it would be more compatible, since it's the same brand!)
Summary: from my experience, I'm not happy with the keyboard. The rest: you decide.

I was annoyed with Logitech for weeks until they realised they had 2 keyboards under the same part number. One with bluetooth and one without. They are also unable to ship one with bluetooth. Their answer to me was "you have to check in the shops if it is or is not a keyboard with BT. We can't ship one to you because everything is automatic and we can't look at the items before shipping".
I have been using this keyboard in Unifying mode in parallel with a Perfomance MX mouse for over a year without any problems. I was already using another Unifying keyboard before.
The Unifying receiver is connected with an extension cable to my multimedia PC, more than two meters away from my keyboard and mouse devices. This receiver is surrounded by multimedia equipment (TV, amp, decoder, ...) and is only a few centimetres away from the centre speaker of my 5.1 home cinema system.
In the same room, I have my WiFi router, my mobile phone, a DECT cordless phone, a wireless thermostat for the heating and other IT equipment, as well as my laptop with another Unifying receiver and mouse connected to it. Sometimes I have both PCs on at the same time with no interference between the two Unifying connections, even with both mice side by side to my laptop and more than three to my Multimedia PC.
When the Unifying receiver was plugged into the back of my Multimedia PC's aluminium case, I had some interference, but with the receiver at the back of the case, I had no interference.When the Unifying receiver was plugged into the back of the aluminium case of my Multimedia PC, I had some interference, but with the receiver on the front within direct range of the peripherals, even at more than two meters, no problems.
I did not try the Bluetooth connection.
