"A Super Quality Night Time Keyboard"

Date:May 18, 2013
Being a designer/illustrator on the Mac for many years. This keyboard is a dream come true. Easy to type, easy to see in any light level and a pleasure to type on. Its ultra sleek modern design makes it even look great! "Thank from all the late nite low light designers...for a great product!"

It works with a Mac - YAY!!!

Date:May 11, 2013
Overall design is great and the illumination is beautiful. I was tired of the small keyboards they make for Macs and wanted a real keyboard with the numeric keys. I searched around and could't find anything and saw the Logitech K800. It was exactly what I wanted, however, the packaging does not tell you if the keyboard is Mac compatible. I read online that it should work with a Mac, so I purchased it hoping it would work. I literally plugged the unifying USB into the Mac and it immediately recognized the device. I also was able to unify the Logitech mX wireless mouse to my Mac and everything works flawlessly so far. So, if anyone with a Mac is looking for a great full-size wireless illuminated keyboard, this is it!

Great

Date:March 26, 2013
I work at an internet company and average about 10-12 hours per day, 6 days a week on this KB. It's great in every way. The amount of travel in the keys, the shape of the keys; rounded control, function and backspace keys might it easy to find. I have less typos while typing faster in every lighting condition.
One concern I had was the battery capacity. But after 5 months this KB regularly lasts 10 days between charges.
Only minor gripe is that the rechargeable battery is not design to be replaced by the consumer. I know people that swapped it out, but it voids the warranty.
If you could replace the battery, I'd grade it A+. Instead I'll give it a solid A.

Good but...

Date:March 17, 2013
This is an awesome keyboard but its big. You can see that the Logitech icon is in a big space and that space is what makes it too big. Maybe for you this is an advantage but for some people like me that their desk are not really big it is bad.

Excellent Keyboard

Date:March 7, 2013
I love this keyboard. It is quiet, perfect for night work because of excellent illumination.
Only little disadvantage is need of frequent charging (overall every 4-5 days), but I am fine with that - you can just plug-in usb cable and keep working.

Terrific keyboard

Date:February 27, 2013
Now have two of these ... one for over a year in my home office, then picked up one for work office (going on 3 months).
Both work great, no problems,and has a nice 'bounce to the keys'. Bought another for S.O. - who's delighted, as well.
Very nice that it starts glowing when I lightly touch the keys (w/o depressing a key).

Nice Design; Awful Construction -- Don't Buy

Date:February 19, 2013
This keyboard was great for a few days. After the breaking in was done, this keyboard fell apart. At first, a couple of less-frequently-used keys jammed several times a day. Within a week, every key was physically jamming every time I pressed it. I had to exert considerable force to type anything. Worse, it had electronic problems (e.g., misinterpreting keystrokes, missing other keystrokes, etc). I went through troubleshooting those problems for a few days, and eventually resorted to USB connectivity with my computer. This fixed the problem with bad keystrokes, but the keys remain jammed. No food nor drink was ever near the keyboard, I blew out the few days' of dust that had accumulated, but in the end this became an oddly-shaped, painfully expensive paper weight. I doubt I'll purchase any more Logitech peripherals, if this is the quality they are producing.

Best keyboard ever!

Date:January 25, 2013
Love the feel of the keys, the illuminated keyboard, the wireless feature, and also the length of time needed between recharging the included batteries. I charged it when I first got it two weeks ago and it still has 2/3rds charge. And I use the keyboard a lot! Quality construction too.

A must have for me!

Date:January 15, 2013
Built a new enthusiast class computer as a gift and included this keyboard. I have a G19 and other Logitech keyboards but I can't get the K800 out of my mind. I should not have given it away. I love this product and now I have to have one for myself. The keys are butter smooth with perfect travel and feel. The person I gave this too talks about how wonderful the keyboard is. I really didn't think she would notice. In the past I have used buckling spring mechanical keyboards for most of my daily work, but this thing feels better to me.

This keyboard is amazing. Fullsized, backlight and wireless. Have not found any like this keyboard.
Pros: Does not have to press the buttons before they light up.
Cons: small amount of flexing diagonal.

Excellent Keyboard

Date:January 2, 2013
Like most of the good reviews... I've use a LOT of keyboards, this is the most useful one I've ever used. I work in a dimly lit studio all day. The illumination of this keyboard, coupled with the wireless feature and quality of the build, makes this the best keyboard I've ever used. Way to go. The guy who posted a bad review on this one, simply got a bad unit.

Best keyboard I've ever had

Date:November 2, 2012
I've been using computers and keyboards since 1982 and I have gone through dozens of them in all kinds of price ranges, styles and types and this is by far the best one I've used for several reasons.
I'm hard on keyboards and one of the most annoying problems I've had is the lettering starting to wear off the most used keys after a period of time, usually a month or two. The way the keys are designed on this keyboard, that isn't a problem. I've had two of them for a year now and no signs of wear.
The feel of the keyboard, the fact it's rechargeable, has a normal standard 101 layout and key size with just a few actually useful extra keys rather than piles of redundant extra keys and buttons and is backlit are some of the other reasons I love this keyboard.
Even the rechargeable batteries and the inclusion of an on off switch. They didn't use some proprietary battery pack that has to be special ordered, just standard rechargeable AA's so when these wear out, I can easily replace them.
After a year, I really can't find anything negative to say about this keyboard. Whoever designed it really put a lot of thought into it and I thank them.
My years long search for the perfect keyboard (for me, anyway) is finally over :-)

Love it, love it, love it!

Date:October 31, 2012
It's the best keyboard I've ever used. I think Logitech have got the balance right on this one - just the right amount of spring in the keys. My typing is faster on this keyboard - MUCH faster. (I'm a heavy user and type pretty much all day). Just fabulous. I also have a logitech 'go anywhere' mouse. I'm so happy!

Very Very Nice Keyboard

Date:October 24, 2012
I use this at work daily and it's absolutely wonderful. I have 2 complaints. I turn the keyboard off when I leave every night to conserve battery, and when I turn it on in the morning, I have to turn off the backlighting. It gets a little redundant. Also, battery lasts really well for as much as I use it - but one can always wish for more!! Overall, really quiet, smooth, wonderful keyboard with lots of features. Love the simple volume buttons, calculator button, print screen and FN keys are well set up. Nice job Logitech!!

Love this keyboard

Date:October 7, 2012
I purchased this keyboard to go with my laptop (I hate most laptops keyboards) and it is amazing. I've had it for quite a few months now and no complaints. The light up feature is ideal for me, because I’m often up in the middle of the night typing and this way I don’t have to turn on the lights. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great usable keyboard to get the job done.

Best Keyboard...

Date:September 20, 2012
Best keyboard I have ever owned. Set up was easy, easy to use and I really like all of the features and adjustability. Easy to get used to and looks great too!! Wish it would have offered another usb port. and li-ion battery for recharging. Lil pricey considering that this is not a brand new product, but still worth it!!

Typos Galore!

Date:September 9, 2012
I'm not sure what the actual problem is, but it's extremely easy to press multiple keys while typing. I don't know if the keys are larger than standard, or if the shape of the individual keys lends itself more prone to accidental "fat fingering", or if there is a spacing issue. I have to continually backspace as I typo every few words. Obviously I don't have "perfect flawless" typing skills, but I've never had typos like this before. I just hate the keys and how they are too easy to press and mash unless your fingers are coming down from perfectly above and centered on the key. I'm not exaggerating about the typos. I suspect my backspace key will wear out sooner than any other key.
The other thing to note for any gamers out there looking to buy this, look at the placement of the left ALT key compared to other keyboards. It's a little left of what you're probably used to and you need to really tuck your thumb under to press left ALT while your hand is resting normally on WASD.
Other than this, the keyboard is awesome. I know it sounds pretty harsh, and I really want to return it, but there isn't another wireless keyboard out there with some of these features. The lighting is absolutely amazing, the battery life is pretty darn good (rechargeable is super nice), the portability of it. It's very nice. I just wish the keys didn't give me problems.

Superior keyboard

Date:August 18, 2012
I bought this Keyboard about three months ago and will never look back. I have had various Logitech accesories and have been happy with all of them, but this keyboard takes the cake. I use it for gaming, surfing the web and anything else that pops up. No complaints, the battery life is great, i have to charge it once every three weeks or so and leave it on for most of that time.
I'd say the only complaint is keeping it spottlessly clean, I'm a bit of a neat freak, wish it came with a dust shield.
Other than that its a must have for someone who wants one of the best wireless keyboards on the market today.
