This keyboard gets an absolute buy from me....
This keyboard gets an absolute buy recommendation from me!
I have searched
For multimedia PC in the living room on the couch
smallest possible, ultra-flat design à la Apple without annoying electronics container at the bottom and no surfboard of a keyboard
Background lighting
Wireless
USB
Rechargeable (no loose batteries)
And this one can do everything except USB. The only one on offer here.
I also bought an ASUS Bluetooth dongle USB-BT211 here at digitec, which is the same size as the Unify adapter from Logitech.
Everything was recognised and installed via plug and play. Worked straight away with Windows 8 64bit.
For this K810, SetPoint 6.52.74 must be installed at least so that the function buttons can be configured.
But the basics also work without it!
I am happy! But: hopefully Logitech will read this now.
Can you tell me why you only produce something like this with a Bluetooth adapter? All your other keyboards together don't meet my requirements. The design of this one is just perfect. No other keyboard, maybe even the Solar, has that. And for home I probably only need USB.
Then for the successor:
Please separate the multimedia buttons from the F buttons. This might make it a little wider. For me, the size is still perfect! Fortunately, the function keys and not the F keys are active by default.
And for me, another treat: a tiny rotary control instead of buttons for the volume.
This would give me the perfect wireless, rechargeable backlit keyboard for my home cinema.
If you were to make everything from an aluminium cast, you'd be getting a bit rude :-)
I'm the kind of customer where the keyboard is always lying around on the couch or the living room table. That's why it has to look good!
For the PC hobbyists: Attention, the BIOS recognises the keyboard when booting because of Bluetoot...Better to wait for the next version
The keyboard is only conditionally suitable for arrrrrrrrrrrrrr working. The sporadic lags are extremely annoying. I also had various problems connecting the keyboard to my computer via a Bluetooth adapter. If these problems were solved, I would give it 5/5 stars, but as it is, the keyboard is simply not yet fully developed.
I have specially not deleted the "lags" (e.g. Arrrrrrrrrrrrworking) so that you can see this better.Pro
- Design
- Backlight
- Dimensions
- Mobility
Contra
- constant lags, i.e. the letters locking in and repeating themselves, are extremely annoying!
- Priority of the F keys
- No customisation options
- Missing functions
- Large key spacing

Stylish keyboard, great pressure point, ingenious with the proximity lighting. I use the keyboard on a closed laptop (attached to an external screen). The workmanship is also good on mine, maybe remo1950 got a model that slipped through the quality control. I hope he sent it back and received a replacement!
What I find extremely unfortunate, however, is the reversal of the F keys --> the normal F functions have to be fetched with the Fn key ... e.g. I have to press Fn+Alt+F4 to close a programme. A usual assignment (F functions 1st and special functions 2nd prio) would be better for me personally.
What is also extremely annoying: the complete lack of Home, End and PgUp/Dwn buttons. Especially in Excel, this is more than tedious!Pro

The battery has lasted well so far.
Unfortunately, the price is correspondingly high.
Very good.
Super portable and easy to set up under Windows 10.
Proximity detection for key illumination is a really useful feature and a real plus for this wireless keyboard.Pro
- Super portable
- Proximity detection for key illumination
- Very good key illumination
- Good ergonomics
Very good product
On the whole, very satisfied. Very comfortable to type on. The size is perfect. Easy to carry around and not too small to type/programme for long periods of time.
What bothers me slightly is that the keyboard cannot be connected via Logitech's Unifying dongle (which is advertised as being multi-connectable). Bluetooth is all well and good, but if a dongle is already being used because of the mouse, this could actually be used without any problems.
The Bluetooth connection does not work properly in dual-boot mode. Since the keyboard only sees one Mac address, it always tries to connect to the same Bluetooth "slot". However, the operating system does not yet know the keyboard. If you then pair again, the setting is overwritten by the other operating system. The problem can be solved by overwriting the binaries of one operating system with the binaries of the other operating system.

The following has nothing to do with the product itself, but with the Digitec service that comes with it: My keyboard was delivered by post without packaging. This means that the label with the address and postage was stuck directly onto the Logitech packaging, i.e. for all to see. This does not correspond to my idea of how goods should be delivered to the customer. There should be some protection (padding) of the product and a little discretion. This is not where savings should be made.Pro
- Size/weight -> very handy
- Pleasant typing
- nice and flat
Contra
- F keys only secondary (e.g. ALT+F4 becomes tedious ALT+FN+F4)
- Arrow keys a little too small
- Bluetooth switch does not work in dual boot
- Digitec supplies keyboard without packaging (only Logitech product packaging)
