About this deal

Chris Hoffman is the former Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek. Chris has personally written over 2,000 articles that have been read more than one billion times---and that's just here at How-To Geek. That may not sound like a lot, but if you’ve got anything other than “little kid hands”, you’ll probably have difficulty typing without errors. In my normal typing test, I had rattled off three typos before I even finished the first sentence. The extra space on the K400 Plus comes in handy and I don’t think Rii gained anything by making the keyboard slightly smaller than its competition. The display would have to be detailed enough that you could read small text easily. You also wouldn’t want to lose your work. You’d want the virtual monitors to be persistent as you move from place to place. And although most of us are touch typists, it would help a lot to be able to see both they keyboard and the mouse, especially when we have to type a lot of symbols and numbers. If your receiver and product have the below logo, you have the Logi Bolt receiver and a Logi Bolt compatible product.

That design choice leads to my one complaint, which is further proof that I can always find a flaw in something. 🙂 Windows key or F8 – toggle the Oculus menu. F7 seems to do the same thing, but sometimes doesn’t work. CONCLUSION: Can you work in VR with Oculus Quest? If you can get past the sound from the keyboard, you’ll find that there’s no way to control sound from your TV box. Sure, there are media controls letting you fast forward and rewind, but there’s no volume control. You’ll be forced to use the function keys, which can have spotty compatibility within certain apps. This article covers 3 of the most popular wireless Logitech keyboards, but keep in mind that there are other brands out there if you’re looking for something with a bit more flair than these options — particularly if you’re a competitive gamer. By making typing easy even in the dark, this illuminated keyboard ensures your TV entertainment is fun and hassle-free.To determine if your Logitech device is Unifying compatible, look for this Unifying logo on your device. Logitech Custom Settings version 1.00.549 (keyboard programmable, touchpad programmable), Logitech Unifying Software (connection utility)

Logitech shares a lot of keys between function keys row with who-knows-what-the-icons-do level of guesswork involved. They also perversely replace often in many of their keyboards for no reason many keys which have text with cryptic hard to decipher icons which are not even standard across all their keyboards. For instance, I can't instantly tell where is Print Screen in MX keys. Does it even exist? There doesn't seem to be any Menu key in Logitech. Or is that the Menu key above the Numeric keypad and the Print Screen with the Camera icon next to it?Keep in mind though, Logitech makes it very clear that this is a “living room HTPC keyboard for your connected TV.” Silent keys won’t disturb your friends during the movie. You can browse from the comfort of your couch and enjoy a fast, reliable, long-range wireless connection via Logitech® Unifying or Bluetooth® Smart technology.

Starting in 2015, Chris attended the Computer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas for five years running. At CES 2018, he broke the news about Kodak's "KashMiner" Bitcoin mining scheme with a viral tweet. A wave of negative publicity ensued, with coverage on BuzzFeed News, CNBC, the BBC, and TechCrunch. The company's project was later reportedly shut down by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Finally, there are no volume controls or any other special frills on this keyboard. I get it – this was a design choice to make the device as small as possible. But it’s still nice for an HTPC keyboard to have some sort of volume and media controls without having to use a special function key. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. though. The Logitech K400 is a great budget keyboard and so is the Microsoft wireless media keyboard. The K830 comes all set to go. If you’d rather personalize the settings, you can do so using Logitech Options software.In addition to his extensive writing experience, Chris has been interviewed as a technology expert on TV news and radio shows. He gave advice on dark web scans on Miami's NBC 6, discussed Windows XP's demise on WGN-TV's Midday News in Chicago, and shared his CES experiences on WJR-AM's Guy Gordon Show in Detroit.

The Logitech K830’s keyboard is slightly smaller than my usual desktop keyboard which also happens to be made by Logitech – the K250. One of the big challenges for me when typing is that my hands often run into each other as I’m trying to type. It’s very difficult for me to type on anything that’s less than full size, or on a keyboard that doesn’t have enough spacing between the keys. You don’t find that with the K830. Everything is spaced out nicely and feels comfortable while you’re typing… That’s not to say the original K400 is a bad keyboard. It’s really not. But it was starting to show its age, which is why it needed a refresh. Limited options: I can’t change the keyboard layout. On my desktop, I like to type in Dvorak, which is available on Windows, Mac and Chrome. On Infinite Office, I can only type in QWERTY. I’m disappointed that it doesn’t offer anything substantially different except that it is SO much heavier than the Logitech!

Control the pointer precisely and accurately from a distance with the built-in multi-touch touchpad.
