Ratings & Reviews Logitech K400R Wireless Keyboard

I'm using this both at office, with my Windows 8 PC, and at home, with my Samsung Android Tablets. I intended to have something to keep on my lap and type when I am at work, since using the mouse kept on the table hurt my shoulders, on the underside/inside because my arms would hang off the table from the wrist with nothing breaking the pressure between the shoulder and the wrist. This was because of a combination of my height of 184cms, the height of the desk, with no drawers, the height of the chair I sit on and recovery from my intense strength training regimen. This keyboard fits that bill, since it has a touchpad on it. However, at home, when I placed it on my lap, it is awkward and uncomfortable and/or painful for my right wrist, since it has to bend at an awkward position towards the right to work the touchpad. This is because the keys section is at one end of the keyboard and the touchpad at the other end. However, this seems to happen only at home. At work, on my office chair, there seems to be no such issue. I can use it on my lap almost comfortably, probably because of the chair and the way I'm able to place my entire forearm on my lap when I use it, as well as position my knees close enough to place it such that it is more comfortable to type and work the touchpad. The features and buttons designed for Windows 8 are superb, especially since I do not have a touch screen monitor on Windows 8 PC at work. It helps mimic some of the gesture controls of the OS. I really like that. Wherever possible, the home and lock buttons work with Android too! What a lovely, unexpected surprise! Thumbs up for that. The plastic used does not feel like it is top-notch, but it's not bad either. However, the keys feel like they may not survive prolonged use. Time will tell. I thought that the Rapoo keyboard is not as good, since the design here affords more customised keys and gestures. Most of all, this keyboard is comfortable to hold up in your hands to work the touchpad with the extra mouse button on the top left. You can look this up online . The Rapoo one is not designed for that. Despite its smart touchpad option, I'm not convinced I want to pay that much more either. All in all, it is cool gadget to have around and I quite like using it. Well have to see how long it lasts with daily, consistent use.

Great combo keyboard, very convenient and useful. Only problem is being left handed, the trackpad is located on the right side which is more suite for right handed people. The sensitivity of the trackpad is something to get used to.
