Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch TV Keyboard With Easy Media Control and Built-in Touchpad, HTPC Keyboard for PC-connected TV, Windows, Android, ChromeOS, Laptop, Tablet - Black

Writing this review after using the keyboard for around 3.5 years (4 years this December), and writing it with the very keyboard itself. Despite falling off a bed and onto both wood floors and rug-on-wood numerous times over the years, the keyboard is still in perfectly functioning condition (especially considering I've never cleaned it apart from wiping the keys themselves off). I've never had any connection problems, just flip the switch and immediately good to go. Alternatively, the battery life on this keyboard is sooo good that you could theoretically just leave it on all the time. The batteries that it came with lasted me over 2 years of use, which included many nights where I doze off with the keyboard still turned on. I've never tested the range of the keyboard, but it is fairly lightweight and can be easily carried or grasped with a single hand. The extra left-click button on the upper-left corner of the keyboard is also kinda handy, although not used often in my case.The only downsides for me, which don't even really bring the score down at all, are: when using it on a lap (vs on a desk or table) it can slide a bit, as the touchpad causes it to sit slightly off-center; NOT BACKLIT, I cannot emphasize how stupid I feel every time I buy a keyboard and only realize a lack of backlighting once I'm sitting in low-light conditions (aka every day for me); the F-row keys and their respective functions are kinda tiny and can take a moment to make out (especially in low-light conditions with a lack of backlighting); WASD gets the job done in gaming, but the actual up and down arrow keys on the right side are kinda annoying in placement and size.Between the product lifespan, low cost, and the versatility of being able to use it on just about anything the USB dongle will go into, I can only recommend this keyboard. As long as you don't need a numpad and aren't picky about the keystroke feel (with which I have no qualms), this wireless keyboard is a great deal.

Pros:+ Functional and versatile for multiple devices+ High-quality build, feels sturdy and durable+ Easy to use, no setup required—just plug and play+ Built-in touchpad is a great addition, eliminates the need for a separate mouseCons:- Slight delay in response when typing or using the touchpad- No backlighting, which might be inconvenient in low-light settings- Touchpad can be a bit sensitive, leading to accidental clicks- Keys feel a bit small for users with larger handsReview:I’ve been using the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch TV Keyboard with my Mini PC, which is connected to my TV, and it’s been a really handy device. Right out of the box, it’s super easy to set up—just plug the USB receiver into the PC or TV, and you’re good to go, no complicated configuration needed. The keyboard feels well-built and solid, which gives me confidence it’ll last a while. The built-in touchpad is a standout feature for me—it works smoothly for navigating menus, browsing, or controlling media, and I love that I don’t need a separate mouse cluttering up my setup. It’s compact and lightweight, making it perfect for my small space, and honestly, I think it’s worth every penny for what it offers. That said, there’s a slight delay sometimes when typing or using the touchpad, which can be a little annoying. The lack of backlighting is another downside, especially when I’m using it in a dimly lit room, and the touchpad can be a tad too sensitive, occasionally causing accidental clicks. The keys also feel a bit small if you’ve got larger hands, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, it’s a reliable and convenient option for anyone looking to control a TV-connected PC or similar setup with ease.

I spend my life tying and working with computers and online. I have used a Gyration air mouse and wireless keyboard for many years. I had the early model that was designed to run Windows Media Player. It worked great and I used it for probably 7 years with no trouble - quality product and I had no complaints whatsoever. That media mouse was much more accurate than the later models, and though I bought the newer ones, they sat on my shelf because of this major flaw. However, recently, the drivers began misbehaving - I suspect because of some hacking issue and I had no option but to retire both and load an old image of my system from scratch - not good. I could not come up with a way to stop it misbehaving, even on an earlier save of the machine. So, I found this little keyboard and bought it hoping it would be OK. So far, so good. I've never had logitech drivers go berserk on me. They seem to do drivers well.This keyboard types well and has good tactile feedback. I use it on an old Belkin laptop desk for stability - it helps a lot. It is a bit small to really use on your lap and it is light enough it would bounce terribly, making typing unreliable at best. But, it is easy to move and seems well made. I have typed for decades and it keeps up with me well. The small keyboard has some shortcomings compared to a full keyboard, but it has some things that they do not have as well. I'm getting used to its peculiarities. I would honestly like a traditional style keyboard on the same scale, but with both touchpad and dedicated number pad, but I haven't seen any. I hate using the numbers at the top of the keyboard - very slow and inefficient for doing any math related tasks. But, it is what it is. The FN key has to be used to access End and Home and Page Up and Down. This is also extremely annoying to me - it will NEVER be as easy as dedicated buttons and the FN key is next to the Windows key which has always been in a stupid place on most keyboards - it is far too easy to accidentally bump it and have unknown chaos erupt and you have no idea what you actually did. Very badly thought out if you intend to actually type with it. That is mostly what I do with a keyboard, but other people, I have no idea.There is no real manual included in the box - 2 very short and basically non-informative pamphlets (one of them disclaimers and warranty legalese) that could have been MUCH more useful.. The main useful thing they mentioned is you can use 2 fingers together to scroll with the touchpad. You have to go to the logitech site to see what it can really do. I can't believe printing is that expensive... Give a person a small key reference for their table for God's sake! I shouldn't have to look up how to use this online at this price point or print out a cheat sheet which does not exist for the more esoteric functions. To you marketing people out there - do not make customers work for anything that should be straightforward. It is bad business practice - period. There is a point at which greed on your part hacks people off. Your product department spent a lot of time developing these things and you don't even tell people why they should like them in the box - really bad business management. You would have failed in my classes. That said, it was pretty much plug and play. It installed flawlessly and has been working fine so far. It doesn't have anything close to 7 years on it yet, though, so I cannot vouch for longevity.I am a designer, so I am very critical of design and execution of products. Much of this keyboard they got right. Some of it could be much, much better. I believe products that are used constantly should be extremely well thought out. So far I have yet to see a really well designed wireless keyboard for serious entertainment/TV/internet/business use. This one does a decent job, but is really not much better than my 7 year old one and in fact worse on some issues. I probably should give it 3 stars for lack of imagination, but it works well for basically what it is designed to do, though there is much room for improvement. I am hoping it becomes less annoying. I hate the FN key keyboards - really a terrible design. Nobody should have to hit 2 keys to get to the end of a line - stupid as hell. People who do not type will not understand this, But if you do - you know exactly what I mean. So, it is lightweight, seems to talk to my computer well, but is very annoying to use for real typing. The touchpad is OK. Could be better or worse. It is average. If you have a widescreen tv hooked to a computer, you will want to go into settings and speed up the mouse - as it leaves the factory you have to swipe, swipe and swipe again to cross the screen. If you have two screens it will be far worse.I do like that it runs on 2 AA batteries. They hold a charge well and for a long time. I only use rechargeables in electronics and the trend to AAA is pointless on something like this and it only takes up two slots in my charger instead of 4. Good decision on the designer's part. Until I can find a better one, this will do. But, if you people at logitech are reading this - seriously? Think about how it will be used! Then design it, not the other way around. And ask somebody who actually types and uses the internet/TV functions to use it before you make it a production model. The world is waiting for a superb multipurpose keyboard and NOBODY makes one. There is profit waiting for the company that does. If I could, I would, but I don't know a manufacturer who would listen to me, sadly. If you are looking for a keyboard that works and is pretty good, this is such a device. I can recommend it as no worse than others I have used, but it is not close to what I really want. This review was typed on it.
