Logitech K810 Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard

This keyboard is the business. I bought one of the cheap auction keyboards that doubles as a case for the iPad but the keyboard was never very responsive and was always a pain to type on. This is in a different league.

This keyboard is great. It has three bluetooth connections to choose from and once paired with the device, will repair at the single touch of a button on the keyboard. I have it paired with my iPad, my wife's and muy iPhone and the keyboard instantly shuffles between the three.

The typing experience is excellent and the key distribution feels just like a mac keyboard. The keys are responsive and I can type VERY quickly with this.

So why only 3 stars .... The box advertises this as a UK keyboard. There is even a brightly coloured sticker advertising it is a UK keyboard. The photo on the box shows a keyboard with a £ instead of a $ and the @ above the ' and not above the 2 as in US keyboards.

The keyboard supplied however does not match the picture. There is no £ and the @ is in the wrong place. This is a bit irritating when used to typing quickly on a UK keyboard. It just slows things down.

I phone Logitech who said this is a well reported problem and that the UK keyboard is not going to be available for the next few months. The product has been recalled but it did not stop me getting one.

So, in summary. A FANTASTIC keyboard. Really lovely to use and really worth spending a bit more on. Annoyingly not a UK keyboard which seems to be a problem that Logitech are aware of but unable to rectify.

At the time of writing this review, the keyboard is still available from a German supplier who has 4 left in stock. Be aware of this shortcoming for the UK market but if you can see past this, go for it.

I'm on computers all the time and the quality of the keyboards make a huge difference to me. This one I have to say is lovely. It's as close to the keyboard on my MacBook Pro as i've ever come across. It looks and feels like a quality product. Some logitech stuff in the past has been nice style wise but never quite had the premium feel. This is different. Very much up to Apple standards. Very pleasantly surprised on build quality but one thing worth mentioning is that there are no risers at the back, so it sits almost flat on the table. Not a big issue as still very comfortable to use but strange omission.

The Bluetooth pairing was simplicity itself that required no reading. Very intuitive and quick. In less than 5 minutes had paired this to 2 different Macs and an iPad. Switching between them is fast. My only niggle here is I wish the indicator stayed on to show you which Bluetooth connection the keyboard is using (it goes off after 2 secs). I can see myself typing into wrong device by accident. I guess if in doubt press the appropriate button 1..2..or 3 before typing.

The illumination is very cool and like the way it only activates when your hands are near. Nice touch (no pun intended).

It recharges using a standard micro USB cable - Same as Kindle and many other things these days. A cable comes in the box but I like the fact I can use same cable for many devices. My desk is messy enough as it is.

Obviously the big sell for this product is the fact it can connect to 3 devices and "remember" all three enabling you to switch between them, but having played with it now for a while I can say it's a great keyboard and that feature just makes it my favourite by a long shot.

Well worthy of 5 stars.

I got one of these today and quickly and easily set it up on my work laptop and iPhone with no issue. The first impression on using it is the level of quality. The packaging is great, the feel of the device is brilliant and the design is top notch.

After using it in work for the day switching between laptop work and sending text messages from my phone I've found it a great product to use. all of the function keys work brilliantly on the iPhone as well as Windows 7 based laptops, and now I'm home using it on my home laptop running XP it's still working flawlessly

Highly recommended
