One of those interesting design elements I was talking about is the clear edge.
The K800 has a streamlined shape with rounded edges with a mix of glossy Black near the keys and a matte Black on the wrist rest and at the top. Don’t get us wrong, the K800 looks good, in fact better than a lot of keyboards out there, but once you’ve seen the diNovo line or the K810 everything else just seems plain. It’s without any doubt a case of function over form and it’s only when you look closer you’ll discover interesting and attractive design elements that are almost pushed back by the overall conservative all-Black design.

Logitech should consider replacing the number pad with a touch pad on their larger full-size keyboard, especially that Windows 8 is around.Ĭompared to the stunning design of other Logitech keyboards like the K810, the diNovo Edge and diNovo Media Desktop, the K800 looks good, but definitely won’t be remembered if for its design. Even the $40 K400 has touchpad, making it the not-so-rare feature it once was. Having a number pad can be handy, but especially for Windows 8, having multi-touch touchpad would be a more useful feature. One feature I miss on the K800 is the touchpad.

The K810 doesn’t come with any receiver, meaning older devices without Bluetooth are better served by the K800. I also like the fact that you can add other compatible devices like the Logitech Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650 or a Performance Mouse MX without using multiple receivers. The tiny Logitech Unifying receiver makes a world of difference compared to the large receiver that came with the Edge.

There is a number pad, which is something many still value and the keyboard also has a unique shape that allows it to stand upright, allowing you to store it standing up to free up space on your desk. It doesn’t stop there either, as it has an ambient light and motion sensors to automatically turn on the lights or control the brightness, it’s rechargeable and can even be used while charging. While it lacks the more exotic features like a touchpad and touch-sensitive volume strip like the diNovo, it has backlit keys which is a feature we consider to be essential in the premium category. The K800 is loaded with features, firmly putting it in the premium keyboard category, but its use of mostly plastic prevents it from being categorized as a luxury keyboard which the diNovo and the K810 are.

The K800 will work with any PC (or Smart TV) with USB port, while the K810 is Bluetooth only. The K800 does include the number pad and the included Logitech Unifying receiver means that it should work nicely with a unifying-enabled mouse using a single receiver.
Quality wise the K810’s brushed aluminum finish is closer to my beloved diNovo Edge and it’s handy switching features allows you to switch among 3 devices. Price wise they’re both $99.99 which suggests that one isn’t necessarily better than the other and that Logitech will continue to offer both products. The K810 is a near full-sized keyboard with a number pad-lacking compact size, which seems better suited for the living room/media center or the desktop that has many mobile devices. The K800 is a full-size keyboard (with number pad) that’s better suited for desktop use with some gaming. In fact, when comparing the feature set of the two devices, reveals two keyboards for different uses.
Judging by the name alone it would seem that the K810 is Logitech’s flagship wireless keyboard, but comparing the two suggests that the latter isn’t necessarily positioned higher or meant to replace the K800. The K800 is as expected a wireless back-lit keyboard and sits at the upper echelon of Logitech’s wireless keyboard range, right between the K750 and the newer K810. The Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 Windows XP, Windows XP 圆4, Windows Vista, Windows Vista 圆4, Windows 7, Windows 8ġ5 hours to 10 days, depending on backlight settingsīattery ( NOTE: Goes on when battery is low.)Ĭharging cable (5 Feet or 1.52 Meter cable length) Can the cheaper, but equally feature-loaded K800 be as good as the diNovo Edge? And while the K800 lacks the fancy touchpad, high-end materials and stand, the K800 can stand upright on its own, it’s also rechargeable, has a built-in proximity sensor and even a number pad. But today we’re not focusing on the diNovo Edge, but the Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 which as the name implies does have backlit keys. It had just one major flaw: it had backlit icons, but no back lit keys. Besides being loaded with features, it was equally stunning to look at with the display stand serving as its charger. Laser cut from a single, semi-translucent piece of black Plexiglas and set into a brushed-aluminum frame, it had back-lit icons, it was rechargeable and it even had a built-in track pad and touch sensitive volume strip. The Logitech diNovo Edge was and in some ways still is one of the best keyboards ever build.
