Thanks Phil.

Confusingly, there's two photos on Amazon with different Enter keys...
I was expecting a wired keyboard (battery life if wireless &
illuminated)
but see that this is wireless with usb charging which seems ok. Is battery
longevity/cycles ok? Do you notice any interference with WiFi as this one
is 2.4 GHz too?

Looking for the 800 turned up the K740 which is wired, but it's the same
price (on Amazon) as the K800. I'll try to get a look at them both in the
flesh.

Thanks for the pointers :-)

Cheers,
Tim.
