Corsair K83 Wireless vs Logitech MX Keys

As you said, most Android apps that do not already have an Android TV version are built around a touch screen interface and it often isn't going to be worth trying to make it work. Sometimes with my keyboard and trackpad, it works ok (Corsair K83), sometimes using the nvidia shield app for control and navigation works better, other times it is hopeless.

I am a software engineer and i type alot and care about my function keys. The function keys bar is very difficult to use because there is no space between button groups (most keyboards have space between F4 and F5 and F8 and F9). The function keys are clearly intended to be used as media keys. This keyboard is not for coders and not for gamers

It feels quite premium overall and offers a good typing experience. The keyboard has a white backlight, and its companion software allows you to customize the lighting as well as key macros on both Windows and macOS.

So gamers, if you're looking for function, speed and sturdiness, rather than bling, this keyboard is the bomb.

(And face it: Everyone's fumbling when they're splayed across a couch.) The keys feel tight when pressed, in a good way: I wouldn't swap out a mechanical keyboard for the K83, by any stretch, but the keyfeel is just as comfortable as the typing experience you get on most thin laptops.

The very first impression is positive, it has a good overall feel to it. l it looks good (important to me in my home studio where the look is a big thing). It feels solid, no plasticky and the keys seem to be well positioned and ergonomic.

The thumbstick and "game" buttons might be used by like 1 human being on this planet, but otherwise they are pure annoyance, I only see them as something to make it harder to pick the keyboard up one handed, because this has a metal faceplate there is a lot of extra heft, usually a good thing (does add to structural integrity) but when you want to pick it up and move it you're going to push some buttons till you get used to the few decent spots to pick this thing up from, yes you can claw grip it from the top and bottom, but not small handed people. If you don't ever plan on moving your new wireless media keyboard, then you can just ignore what I just wrote. Speaking of wireless, the signal is soooooooo bad with the dongle, if you want smooth and CORRECT feedback you need to have the dongle out somewhere in line of sight of the keyboard, not to mention the times when you unplug the keyboard to kick back on the couch and it just doesn't want to wake up when you tell it to, be prepared to wait a couple minutes sometimes (I have a feeling the frequent updates is causing this), mind you when plugged in no problems (except for that firmware incident). The frequent updates I spoke of before were just firmware, the software is updated way too often too and causes my settings to be reset, not every time though

The Apple is just a little bit bette, just a little bit easier to type on. There is a little more resistance with the Logitech. My fingers glide across the keys of the Apple keyboard as I type. With the Logitech, I find myself having to back up because I didn't press down hard enough and therefore missed a character

Still, though, even if the touchpad is just defective the actual design is fairly flawed with the placement of the physical mouse buttons. The touchpad is circular (which seems pointless?) but as a result the buttons are about a 5mm below where my thumb wants them to be. I use a MBP touchpad all day long and bought this keyboard to replace a much flimsier Logitech one and both have dramatically better ergonomcis. All in all this device is about 90% amazing but that last 10% (the touchpad) is just a dealbreaker

It's basically free. - Packaging minimal yet very classy, well done. - Board looks and feels great, has a sort of subdued yet elite appearance, looks great in office or home setting. If you aren't one of those RGB nerds you will love it

I needed a backlit keyboard since I moved my computer setup in a dark area where lighting is not so great. I don't really like overhead lighting anyway and at times I had issues with typing on the K400, mostly because of the lack of backlight but also because its keys are idiotically close to each other. The K83 feels much smoother and I like the key travel a lot. It is very easy to type on

1) Keyboard backlight randomly resets itself so if you like it a certain brightness you will randomly come back and have to figure out where that was. Doesn't seem to fall in line with charging, power cycling, device switching, or anything like that. Just randomly resets to a medium-low level. 2) If you switch devices, and you don't wait whatever unknown period of time it takes for it to finish syncing back to that other device and you press any key, it will often get stuck sending that keystroke non-stop until you power cycle the keyboard
