Logitech K360 Wireless USB Desktop Keyboard — Compact Full Keyboard, 3-Year Battery Life (Glossy Black)

I work from home and this is my primary keyboard. I am a minimalist, so I don't like cords and I don't like "stuff" on my desk. This is perfect for me. I was first drawn to the small size. I can shift the keyboard anywhere on my desk or hold it in my lap if I wanted. It leaves plenty of room for my mouse to roam. I was skeptical about the feel and the battery life.I use Mac and PC laptops as well as a PC desktop. I have always been most comfortable on a full size PC keyboard - the key spacing, the feel, the general ergonomics. Laptops always feel cramped and some of the keys are often in the "wrong" location compared to a desktop keyboard. That is the one downside of this keyboard. A couple of common keys are moved to save space - namely the page up and page down, which I use heavily to switch browser windows or Excel sheets. Everything else is decent as far as location. I was really afraid of how the keys would feel coming from full size desktop keyboards. If I had it my way, they would bring back the mechanical click keyboards from the 80's and 90's PC's. This actually feels pretty good. It is a solid click and feel when buttons are depressed, great feedback. These don't feel anything like laptops with the mushy key strokes. This feels solid.I've had it for months, and I always leave it on. It is smart enough not to drain the battery when not actually being typed on. It may be a small inconvenience to some to simply switch it on and off, but the convenience of not thinking about it is great. In this way, it functions like a wired keyboard without the unsightly cords. I always prefer corded peripherals because I hate thinking about charging devices. We all have enough rechargeable products to think about. With this, it's not an issue at all. I have no problem charging or replacing the batteries once or twice a year when I use this device for most of the day, every day.Aside from feel and battery life, this has a couple more things going for it. It looks real nice with the piano black color. It's small and the back is adjustable. I leave it flat for my preference, but maybe not for everyone. Also, the media keys are quite helpful. It's clumsy to click through to volume on the screen. This is much more intuitive. A lot like a laptop in that respect. Speaking of which, the function keys are useful as well. I haven't messed around too much with the programming as I don't need the function keys too much, but I do use some of them. This is easily used on both PC and Mac. This is a natural PC keyboard, but you can customize for a Mac when you first pair it. I didn't do any customization and use it just fine with the Mac. I use both OS's pretty heavily and use the same desktop setup (monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.) on both of them pretty seamlessly. Finally, this is a great value. I was willing to spend much more on a keyboard because I spend so much time and make my living on the computer. I wasn't convinced I would like this but gave it a try because it was only about $23. For that price, I expected it to be low quality and disposable, and I would simply try another if it didn't work out. Looks like I found what I was looking for and will be keeping it for a while.

The key spacing is a bit wide. Not a turn off... it will actually probably (no scientific backing, just what I think..) improve typing accuracy for most people in the long run and I know most people need that kind of help (no offense. I can probably do over 100 WPM with generally good grammar, but most people can't...). I also like the media keys and that, unlike many other cheap bluetooth keyboards, the F1-F12 keys REQUIRE you to press the FN key to access their alternative functions. Which this is priced very competitively to said keyboards. One competing product is the more expensive AmazonBasics keyboard. Said keyboard automatically assumes you want to use the alternative functions of the F1-F12 keys by default. A bit silly if you ask me, but then again it is technically made for Mac users. I'm using it (and now this keyboard) on my Surface Pro and my desktop computer (which, thanks to what the Z87 MPower motherboard comes with, has bluetooth connectivity built in).TL;DR: Overall the keyboard works just fine.The only annoying thing, the little "unifying receiver..."Basically if you want to use a Logitech mouse with the receiver that comes with this, you NEED software that this doesn't come with (that I saw...). Re-pairing something with this is not plug and play. So for instance in order to use my M505 mouse with this, I needed to download the Unifying software from Logitech (thankfully only about 4 megs), and then turn my mouse off and on. Overall not a hard process but I REALLY wish this would be made more clear somewhere on the product page. They just claim that you can use it like this and then give you a list of compatible devices. Maybe I just skipped over that section, but it's not really clear that you need anything beyond what Windows installs this as. Furthermore, I don't think this can be used with android devices. At least not easily. Pretty big con if you want to use this with all of your devices. I have a little micro usb to USB port cable somewhere.Long story short I almost returned this because I though the unifying thing was plug and play, but then decided to read up on it a bit more and found out that it was not. Afterwards, all is well (except, I suppose, my very probable lament that this likely will not work with my non-stock android device through USB).Edit: Actually, I was very pleasantly surprised. The Unifying USB receiver actually does work with my Android smartphone! I simply hooked in my MicroUSB to USB host adapter and then connected the receiver. Both the keyboard and mouse worked just fine. Now this is still a bit of an inconvenience because I need to carry around a little adapter with me, but still... I suppose this Unifying receiver does have some advantages in that it can also be used in the BIOS whereas bluetooth cannot. I'm bumping up my rating to 5 stars.
