recieved this today for my LG smart tv I was told by LG that I would have to rely on the TV's virtual keyboard, which I was not very happy with. I visited my local Curry's store in Huddersfield where a young female assistant advised me to try the K270, I plugged the nano receiver into a USB port and it worked straight away (brilliant problem solved) the whole set up is now faster than my Pc as I also use elink and short ethernet cables from my router to TV

In short: the keyboard is nice. It still doesn't feel as good as one of the simple microsoft keyboards (which is a bit debatable), but I prefer it for other reasons.

I use it for programming and I appreciate:
* the placement of the 'insert/delete/home/end/pgup/pgdown' keys (that's why I picked this)
* the size of the keys: They are normal sized and easy to locate without looking at the keyboard
* the full size of the F keys and the escape key
* the availability of the print-screen key: This is missing from some other keyboards and it is required in order to do alt-sysrq combinations under Linux
* the overall size as it is small / space-saving without having smaller keys
* the micro receiver

The only serious drawback is that the keyboard bends a bit at the center when you press keys towards the middle and hits the desk making an annoying noise. This only happens when you keep the keyboard flat (i.e. not when you raise it using the stands). After trying a couple of things I finally solved the problem by placing something underneath the front feet, raising the front side of the keyboard a few millimeters.

Finally, I'd really prefer to have leds for num-lock and scroll-lock as well (Come on guys! After all you have available space over there)

Update: It's been almost a year now and while I'm using it every single day (for many hours) I didn't have to replace the batteries. I am really impressed by that.

Wanted a decent sized keyboard and after much deliberation went for the Logitech K270. Worked straight from the box and have had no issues with the keyboard in general or it's connectivity. Usual great service from Amazon with delivery , highly recommended.

Great little keyboard for the price. Nice spring to the keys and the footprint of the keyboard is exactly what I wanted. Customisable buttons are an added bonus. Can't fault it.

Having used the previous version, along with many other types of keyboards over the years, I have to say that the K270MkII is not bad at all.

The first thing you notice is the body's more sturdy nature when you type. With the feet raised for tilt-type there is no flex whatsoever when you type. You can still flex the body by pressing firmly on the front side under the space bar, but then why would you want to?

The other thing I noticed was the quality of the plastic. The keys still have soft springs, which you either love or hate - although they ARE dead silent when typing, and very smooth.. The keys themselves have a lovely soft feel to the plastic and feel like warm satin - a nice touch.

Also, and this is VERY noticeable, the speed of pick up after 'auto shut off' is unbelievable. I timed it at about 0.2 seconds - so virtually immediate.

The typing itself is.. not bad. If you wanna write a book buy a typists keyboard, but for every day use, even longish emails - it's fine. The ergonomics thing is just one of feel, click, and springy'ness, along with amount of tilt and shape of keys. I write 300,000 word books and my hands would not thank me if doing it on this, but 5,000 words would be no pain at all. Anyway...

All these improvements add up to make a very nice keyboard, and well worth it.

The instructions are quite good, not that you need any. The USB dongle was recognised within a few seconds and I was typing within 25 seconds. Painless.

If you have never owned anything Logitech, don't worry - it's a nice ride. Dependable, and likeable.

And less than £20? ..Honestly you can't go wrong.

The wireless works perfectly, the keyboard is wonderfully plain. No fancy wrist wrests or awkward, unnecessary shaping taking up desk space. There are some function buttons at the top which can be handy. Nice key clicky action. All in all everything you want from a keyboard.

For a wireless keyboard you cannot fault this product for the price. Purchased with the Logitech Performance MX using unifying device.

If only logitech made this keyboard with a seperate num pad so that it can be moved to any position on the desk out of the way. UK standard keyboard layouts not the perfect solution for right handed people using a mouse.

works perfectly, good button feel and only 1 usb is needed for many logitech wireless devices. i recomend it alot

This keyboard was chosen for its similar layout to my present (faulty after 8years) one. I much prefer keyboard and mouse to combined keyboard and touchpad, and this keyboard with good key feel, wireless flexibility,low price and plug in and use is ideal.

It is very easy to set up and use. Nice keyboard. Well packaged and it arrived within the time expected.
