Customer Ratings & Reviews

should have been plug and forget. installed the hotspot, intermittant ability to use. have had to go to the regular key board to access the pc. still working to get the bugs out.

My main reason for wanting one of the illuminated keyboard is mostly out of necessity. During my early morning Tech news reading, Facebook page stalking and Twitter feed scanning, I enjoy doing it with my large cup of coffee in mostly a dark environment. Up to my late 30’s I really never had a problem seeing my keyboard in this dark environment. Since turning 40, and getting glasses I have noticed that even mid day I have been struggling to see the exact keys I am attempting to press. Our most recent laptop/ultrabook purchases have included back lit keyboards, which I originally thought was overkill, but soon embraced this feature as again, my site is failing…aging is so much fun!!! I researched some usb wired back lit keyboards and found them to be around $50 to $60, but they were hard to actually find, and I really didn't want to buy one without physically seeing it. So I turned to this one I found at Best Buy, It was actually an “Open Item”. It looked to not be the display unit, it still had cellophane on it’s surface and of course came with a full warranty. Most likely it was purchased and some one could not figure out how operate it, or did not like how it operated. It is a Logitech Unifying wireless keyboard, which means you can connect several Unified devices to the usb micro receiver. AT first, I really did not want another device that would consume batteries, especially with the back lighting. Then I found that it was rechargeable, with removable rechargeable AA batteries. It’s specs show that the batteries may last up to 10 days, and upon testing it, I discovered that I am able to charge it while using it. One of the great features of this keyboard, is it has proximity detectors that sense your hands as they approach it and activates the back lighting and then a few seconds after typing it deactivates the back lighting to conserve battery life. I have not had to charge it yet, and we are on day 9 of light daily use, and the battery gauge on it still suggests it is full. We will see how many days I get out of one charge. This keyboard does what it states, illuminates the letters on the keys, so these aging eyes cans see what these fingers are typing. Below is the list of pros and cons, my only con is that I have become comfortable with the chicklet layout of our laptops and ultrabooks and this is a conventional, layout. It really is not a show stopper, I have already gotten used to it. Pros: Easy to connect and use. Illuminates well. Rechargeable even when in use. Great responsiveness Quiet typing. Power Management using proximity detectors. Easily stores on its back edge. Cons: Not a chicklet layout. Clearance price of this unit was $84.99 marked down from $99.99

Like the feel of the keys, backlight, and size. But keys can't go dead in less than a day. It's kinda the whole purpose of the device.

Would not work with three mice that I have. No documentation as to what mouse would work. Took the item back to Best Buy.

These are awful. They easily fall out. The sound quality is very poor. I paid $79 for these and get get better sound quality with my $9 convenient store earbuds.

I recently got this keyboard and it turned out great. It's comfortable to use, The key back lights are great for using in the dark and there's no need to press any key to turn on the back lights. The keyboard weight keeps it in place so you won't have to switch position. It also has a turn on/off button, so it saves battery usage. It also turns down automatically in case you forget. The only down side so far is that it has a shiny design so you have to clean constantly. It all works perfectly. Another little down side is that you have to connect it with an usb cable to recharge it and have to keep your receiver connected if you're using it and charging it at the same time, so there are 2 usb ports on use for the same device. Overall it's a great keyboard, get one!!

Keyboard keys shorted internal so when you press the lower case c it would display c$. It increase keys as time time on.

Was great until it broke 3 months in. Certain keys stopped working for no reason.

I bought this once but the Lights were Defective where the Keys would Light up. The Second one is a bit stiff. So I want to go and return the second one now.

worst keyboard ever cant submit the review using it because it jumbles the letters now. DO NOT BUY

Lots of buttons don’t work! Control button, letter v etc Took to long to exchange I can’t return a defect product. $60.00 down the drain

Might be a good product but couldn't get it to sync with my brand new computer via Bluetooth or through the Logitech USB. Returned

I had to disassemble the keyboard since the #7 key was sticking. A complete waste of my time

It only works if it is plugged into the computer all the time and I never turn it off

The keyboard never did illuminate. No matter what I tried. Brand new right out of the box and a dud.

I got this keyboard because I do a lot of programming and it tends to keep me up late into the night. The keyboard on my laptop wasn't backlit and in a dim light it could get irritating trying to find a key when it's late and I'm worn out. I figured that I wouldn't have much need for a backlit keyboard but at the last minute decided to try it out. I'm glad I did. The keys are backlit as well as the area around a key. If you're like me and work in areas that tend to be darker, it can really come in handy. The keyboard feels great and was very easy to use. Once the dongle was plugged in, I was up and running. I also don't have to charge it nearly as often as I would have thought. I believe the specs stated it would last about 5 days before needing to be charged again. Even using it for 3-4 hours a day, I maybe charge it once every 3-4 weeks. And the battery isn't even close to dead when I do decide to pop it on the charger. That was one of my biggest concerns with going for a backlit wireless keyboard but I'm glad to say that it isn't a problem at all with this keyboard. Overall, I wouldn't change a thing about it and I'm glad I got it. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Poor lighting very disappointed. Super hard to see keys unless room is very dark.

Battery was dead and I read comments about dead keyboard due to bad battery before attempting to change. Just return for refund.

Don't buy - it constantly goes from dim to bright - drives me crazy.

The backlighting is great especially when you need to access your computer but don't want to turn on the lights! Easy to install and setup; plug and play! The keys are a little different in size from my last wireless keyboard so it took awhile to get used to the placement but the keys are responsive and easy to see! The battery life is great and easy to recharge fromthe USB overnight! I am finding that Logitech is producing quality products and creating product loyalty!
