@@TechHarvest Hi! Been playing with it for 2 weeks now. Folks really need to download the "options" to modify some of the features. I turned off the "smooth scrolling" because the feature tended to scroll the text ahead of itself. Changed the "sleep" feature to "OFF" as something kept waking up my computer. Also turned off "zoom" feature as using 2 fingers to scroll sometimes triggered the zoom feature instead. I think it's great that the keyboard software allows for this customization. I would not have known this possible without your review. Love that I can now control my bedroom TV (hooked via HDMI cable to nearby computer) from the comfort of my bed :) Thanks again for your review, you did a thorough job of it!

Thank you for a nice thorough review of the keyboard. This review is streets ahead of others as it was deeply informative of the functionality of the keyboard and software where as some people just unboxed and commented on the keyboard ergonomics alone without addressing the software side of things, comparisons with the previous model and potential uses. Thank you for a good review as my Dad is looking for a good HTPC keyboard as he's trying to juggle a mouse and a keyboard, where I told him to get an all-in-one keyboard and that yellow top corner mouse button only seen on the K400 and plus looks like a winning feature to me.

I actually just prefer the original K400 as it has larger up&down arrow keys as well as a power-off hotkey (which may work with the Plus if you use the function + sleep command but I won't take the chance). The original K400 allows you to scroll with two fingers as well. There isn't a left-click button on the top left-corner though. I would also say, an improvement that could be made to make it absolutely perfect would be if it were backlit but that would increase the cost and the shift key has been made larger. Still, the original Logitech K400 is pretty essential if you like to use want a keyboard with your HTPC/media center. I personally use mine with an Ouya and a Chromebox and it's perfect for me (aside from it not being backlit).

Thanks for the review. I ordered one already. It was more because it had a touchpad and not a separate mouse and it was the only cordless or one of a few, that had a silicone keyboard cover available from china. I use the keyboard in the dining room as multimedia and it is subjected to food residue at times. However, I would not have called this a multimedia keyboard as it does not have any media controls. Stop, play, pause, forward and backward. I regret the fact that it does not. I hope the touchpad works better than the existing keyboard I am using now, which is a Gearhead. With dirty or greasy fingers its touchpad is horrible and unreliable now. I would not say it is a result of my fingers because I have a thinkpad laptop and the touchpad on that is flawless and accurate with dirty fingers or not. Why can't all other touchpads work as well as on the thinkpad. I have found most other laptops from all brands work poorly compared to the thinkpads. It is really sad. I hope this touchpad works more reliably than the gearhead and more like the thinkpad.

The original k400/r design was better in my opinion. My biggest gripe with the newer version is the uneven arrow keys. The split up/down arrow completely throws of scrolling for web surfing and word processing. It would possibly have been a keeper had all arrow keys been identical in size similar to the k830. Returned both Black Friday bargain price K400 Plus to amazon and bought two backup k400/r versions from Walmart locally. I consider myself a decently fast typist, and I’ve never used the right shift key.

I’m a right shift key virgin; I don’t think I’ve ever use it on purpose or by accident. It would have been a different story had the arrow keys were all the same size like the k830 - too expensive considering the k400/r is roughly $14.99.
