Re: Illuminated keyboard

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Battery life seems fine - not had any problems.

I have a quad output USB charger on my desk connected to a 30pin Apple
Universal Dock to charge my work phone, to a lightning dock to charge my
own phone, to a flying lightning lead to charge my iPad and to a Micro USB
lead that I use to charge my bluetooth headset and the keyboard when
necessary. It works while charging and to be honest I dont even think about
charging it as being any kind of chore.

Don't notice any issues with WiFi and I have quite a number of those
Logitech keyboards and mice...

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.

Me again :-)

I'm after an illuminated keyboard, BUT, not one that might've been designed
by a 15 year old boy with a testosterone overdose...
The whole "gaming keyboard" thing really *isn't* what I'm after
but is all that seems to be available.

I'd be very happy with my current Dell keyboard, with normal function keys
and properly sized Enter key, like this: (but with a backlight)
http://cgi.ebay.com?ViewItem&item=131169129451

The properly sized enter key is non-negotiable.
I would also prefer all the keys to be the same colour, would prefer to not
have loads of "hot/shortcut keys", while the backlight colour is
not overly important.
Needs to be Windows-compatible, if that makes a difference. And ready-made,
no DIY options please :-)

Similarly, a subtly backlit, large, wired mouse.

Am I asking for the impossible?

Many thanks,
Tim.
