According to our keyboard expert
The Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated Keyboard stands out because of its sleek looks. The Logitech K800 has been designed with the PerfectStroke key system. This distributes the typing force evenly over the surface of the key, which makes the keyboard a lot quieter and more comfortable. A backlit keyboard in the dark not only looks good, but is also very useful. Sensors react to your hands and switch the lights on or off. With a push of a button, this can also be adjusted manually as desired. The USB receiver is equipped with the Logitech Unifying technology. Up to 7 Logitech products can be paired with the Unifying receiver. Only one USB port is used. The USB receiver is so small that it hardly sticks out of the USB port. No need for you to worry about it getting damaged or lost.

I've been using the Logitech K800 Illuminated keyboard for about two weeks now, and I must say I really like it!!! Very easy with connecting to PC, connect mini USB to PC keyboard, turn on and you're done. You also sometimes hear that the Fn keys are not illuminated on some keyboards, but with this keyboard all keys are illuminated which is so easy. Also very handy that the keyboard detects your movement and then the LEDs turn on automatically as soon as you start typing ..... you can also set the brightness of the lighting yourself. The keystroke is also very light (about comparable to laptop) I could not find any cons!!! Long story short, this is just a very good keyboard. This keyboard is definitely a must to buy.

I was looking for a good Logitech combo(=Keyboard+mouse) to replace my Logitech DiNovo. However, the current range of Logitech combos is either only aimed at gamers or only at regular office use. That's why I chose this keyboard in combination with the Logitech Wireless Performance MX Desktop mouse.
The board has a very sleek design and even has the look that we sometimes find with modern HDTVs, namely a glass-edge look, a plastic edge such as with Philips. What is also striking is that the board is made to be mounted vertically. storage, when I place it next to my Philips HDTV you just see that this belongs in your living room. The board detects your movement and will then illuminate the keys by means of LED lights, this system works very well, and everything is pleasant to read, partly because the keys are literally cut out with laser precision. You can set the brightness yourself, if you use the board with your MediaCenter you will probably want to set it to the lowest setting, and for gaming to the highest setting, and for office use you can also simply turn off the lighting. The sign uses NiMH batteries that hardly run out (stay charged principle), this battery will still hold 75% after 3 years of not using it. So you can simply remove these batteries yourself and replace them with your own set. Charging is done via a Micro-USB-type B cable (known from smartphones and new external hard drives). You can do about 3 months without having to recharge (with serious use), and a status indicator (with three LEDs) keeps an eye on the battery status.
This board uses the new Logitech Unifying receiver, concretely this is a 2 mm thick USB pen that behaves like a BlueTooth hub with which you can connect up to 8 devices. What's more, you can connect your devices to multiple receivers. This system is fully integrated and this small stick contains everything you need, no extra software is needed via CD or internet, and the detection only took a second.
Since I also bought a new mouse, I was able to experiment a bit because every device comes with a Unifying receiver :)
I had connected receiver1 to my PC, then let everything connect (= just turn the mouse and keyboard off and on once) , everything was recognized immediately and worked fine. I had connected receiver2 to my laptop, got everything connected again, when everything worked I put receiver2 in the Playstation3 and yes, it works perfectly on the PS3 :)
When I take the board away from the PS3 and get close to my PC (10 meters), where receiver1, it just continues as the keyboard of the PC :)
The board is a bit more expensive, but I think you really get value for money: it is a perfect multifunctional device, I use it as a PS3 keyboard, but also as a PC keyboard, and it can also be used as an HTPC keyboard, or for a laptop, tablet, smartphone (I haven't tried yet).. The quality is really fantastic again, as I expect from Logitech high-end devices. It also taps very quickly and not loudly, it can be compared to a high-end laptop keyboard. There is also a Logitech bag with a micro USB cable, an extension cable and a plug where the USB cable can be plugged in to charge via the mains. I couldn't find any negatives.

In a word fantastic.
The K800 costs a few Euro cents, but then you have something.
Of course when you choose Logitech products you go for quality. But this is by far the nicest keyboard I've ever had from Logitech and IBM (and believe me, after nearly 30 years in IC, I've worn out quite a few keyboards).
A nice gadget is of course the lighting, which also turns on automatically when you put your hand above the keyboard. Because I often have the habit of working in the dark (two 22" LCD screens provide enough light), the lighting is very handy to be able to find the right key in the dark.
