Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Review

Summary: ======== This keyboard is very compact. Its about 12 inches across and 5 inches wide. The thickness closer to the spacebar is less than 1 cm and the thickness at the back is around 1.5 cms. Overall a neat and compact little keyboard. The range advertised is 15meters but that is not entirely true. Its actually about 12-15 feet with very good reception. After that its weak and the mouse and keyboard do not do anything on the computer/tv. My TV has an HTPC (Currently on the floor) facing my couch which is 12 feet away. if you do not place the receiver DIRECTLY in front of the keyboard, the range reduces drastically. This is the only reason i took off 1 star. Pros: ===== The mousepad works great. The buttons feel solid when you press them. The one thing which deserves a star on its own is the feature of scrolling on this mousepad. Use two fingers from top to bottom on the surface of the touch pad and the effect is the wepage will scroll up or down. You dont need to click on the scrollbar.... SIMPLE! Keyboard feels great. ITs no mechanical keyboard but they feel comfortable and most keys are the size of a regular keyboard which is a huge plus for me. Cons: ===== The keys feel good to type on but one extremely silly design choice is that the "ENTER" key is very small. Im used to a keysize thats almost double on every other keyboard and laptop that I own so it takes getting used to. The Function keys are also extra small. There is plenty of space up top (wasted plastic surface area) that could have been generously used to increase the button size. Maybe cost drove the size down but its a bit of a nuisance. I keep messing up (Alt+F4) and end up pressing F3 or 6 instead :) The Bottom line: ============== All in all things function correctly and I am able to control my HTPC connected to my TV thats 12-15ft away from my couch. So im very happy with this buy. I would recommend this to anyone who has a setup similar to mine. (Again remember the receive needs to have a direct line of sight to they keyboard to work effectively.... yes all obstacles cannot be overcome ... hence the 4 stars.) Good job logitech!Read full review
