The Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch TV Keyboard features easy plug-and-play setup, a compact design with an integrated, smooth, responsive touchpad for convenient couch use, and a good range that ensures reliable connectivity across the room.

Amazingly I’ve never changed the batteries in this and its 3 years old at least by now. Yet this board gets used every single day!

I use it with my PC, Raspberry Pi boards, laptops and usually works right away. Hardy, it’s a geeky thing to do but I like a travel keyboard, this is stiff yet light… can handle some basic gaming or at least an extra control for beat them ups with friends on the go for the lols.

Track pad has great multifinger functionality, though not a big fan of the function buttons having preset functions other than the default… always having to hold FN to press F1-F(whatever) and similar for print screen takes some getting used to. There’s likely a settings menu that I’ve accidently stumbled in to a few times that I could change this in, but never had the real need to try.

Range is adequate, multiple wireless devices near dongle can effect connection but not to a point where its unusable.

When not traveling this is sat on my couch to control the PC connected to a TV as my main source of media (seriously who needs smart tvs when we have pcs)

For the price this is an amazing keyboard.

great for the use case I have it for which is a living room pc, obviously is a light cheapish plastic keyboard so its nothing special but it does the job and I haven’t had any issues like loss over wireless which is what you’d expect from a good peripheral manufacturer.

i’ve not scored it on gaming like amazon suggests because this is not the intended use case

This is a really good solution for a living room PC. I don’t use it for a lot of typing, more more work. I’ve seen these used in Dyno places too, so they must be reliable long term (the one I saw was super grubby and well used).

For what you pay, it’s really well made. I was impressed that windows picked it up when installing, no drivers or firmware.

Okay, I’ll be honest, I got this as an Xmas present for somebody else. He turned out not to need it as he prefers the older model of this, and has two spares because of that. However, I can make use of this, the touchpad is a very useful feature, it’s lightweight too. Oddly enough the USB dongle will not fit into the storage space for it next to the battery compartment, in such a way that the battery cover can be closed. So you have to look after the dongle and not lose it, I do that by taping it to the keyboard. It is supplied with one set of batteries. Build quality is OK like most Logitech peripherals, I use their trackballs. The big plus point is the range it works at.

This item does its job quite well.

The on/off switcher is really nice to use. It connects without problem as soon as it’s switched on, which is impressive. The keys along the top have android functions such as back and home, which are crucial when using with android TV or a fire TV stick. The trackpad is totally fine.

I do find the action of the keys a bit long, probably because I’m used to a laptop type keyboard; it’s also probably something to do with the fact that I’m using it not on a hard surface (and it’s not very weighty itself). This leads to my main criticism which is that it just feels a bit cheap. Also, the arrow keys (especially up and down) are smaller than I’d like.

Overall, good value. But I’d be interested to compare it, for usability and quality, to the metal-framed competing products with keyboard-style keys on this website which are only a few pounds more (but are off-brand).

I higly recommend this product. I’ve been using it for a year and the experiece is still like new. I find both keyboard and trackpad excellent. Excellent build quality without any hardware issues. For the price, it’s fighting far above its wight class. I’ve certainly paid more for much, much worse!

Pros –
– The keyboard is fantastic. The resistance and feddback of the keys is extremely nice to type with and I actually prefer it over a couple of my mechnical keyboards. Again the value is huge here.
– The trackpad is good for a trackpad, and as you’d expect reacts to all double click select/resizing detections built in.
– To add to the track pack, while it can be abit of a strange feeling using the trackpad and left clicking/tapping, there’s a key above the escape which is another option for left click. Once I stated using this it’s amazing how handy it is to simply track with the right hand and left click with the left, it feels much more “natural”. This key is different though and resenbles a mouse button with more of a “click”, it’s a nice touch.
= While it has the standard function key setup, the designated voume +/- and mute buttons above the trackpad are perfect for my media centre, or listening to music. Even these keys feel pleasent.
– After 1 year the product is like new, there’s absolutely no sticking keys, no connnection losses, no repeating keys, no replaced battery (I’ve never turned it “off” either), the letters are all still sharp, the trackpad like new. I’ve used it a decent amount in this time and am very impressed.
– It looks great. The shade of grey is nice and the yellow acents really set it off.
– The profile is this, but not too thin. It’s a perfect depth to allow for the high quality keyboard.
– Great build quality. It feels a year later like it did on day 1. It feels well designed and put togethr.

Cons –
– The standard F1-F12 need to use the function keys. The function key writing is in a dull blue, which set again the grey of the keyboard can be hard to see in many light setups. I’m slightly torn here as it means I need to us e alt+fn+F4, but outside of the the automatic use of the designated functions keys is great. THere’s probably a way to swap this mapping but it’s a non issue after using the new setup a couple of times.
– That’s it, I was really clutching at straws on this one which is rare…

I just wish they had the same keyboard without the trackpad for my desktop setups!

This review has been typed on my Logitech K400+ 😉

Firstly, if you are looking for a keyboard for your desk or for gaming, then look somewhere else. This is certainly not the keyboard for you. This keyboard is designed to be used in front of a TV for your media PC or on your lap in bed and for that, it is pretty damn good.
Let’s start with the price, I received mine for just under 30 which seems like quite a lot for a small plastic keyboard but what this keyboard does right more than justifies the price. Also, if you’re like me just looking at getting into the media PC ‘game’ and wanting a keyboard for that, then this is just perfect. It’s cheaper than a lot of others out there and just does the job with zero hassle.

As I say, the keyboard is plastic but not in a horrible cheap way. It’s plastic but done well with nice light construction but very little bend considering. It has a matt grey finish with those subtle yellow accents which actually help in navigating where that mouse button is in the dark and boy will you be using that little button!

That yellow mouse button might be the best thing about this keyboard. I use my right-hand thumb on the trackpad and my left-hand thumb to hit that mouse button and took to this way of navigating like a duck to water. It’s a real pleasure to use and as it is Logitech, everything is responsive with perfect tactile feedback on the trackpad itself. The mouse moves exactly where I want it to which doesn’t sound like much but as a person who loves buying inexpensive mice, this is so easy to get wrong.

The actual keys are where this keyboard falls short. I thought that maybe I just wasn’t used to its size initially but after months of using it, I still tend to hit 2 keys at the same time and miss hit keys very regularly. This isn’t a massive deal breaker for me as I only really use the keyboard to search a word or a few words at a time but if you are looking at writing essays with this, it’s going to pretty difficult. Saying that, you might get used to it if you’re writing a heck of a lot. The key feedback is also similar to a laptop keyboard. Not as bad as some cheap laptops but certainly nothing overly special. This is to be expected though as it is rather small for a reason but I would have preferred the keyboard to be slightly wider if it meant the keys had a small amount of separation.

I also feel as though the trackpad could be a little bigger but that is just maybe a thought for the next revision of this. Otherwise a solid media PC Keyboard. You won’t be disappointed.
