About this deal

No Virtual Desk. Oculus also previously showed that you would be able to create a VR model for your desk, and put it in its corresponding place in VR. However, I didn’t see this feature yet in Oculus Quest app version 28. I expect that it will be like the keyboard and you’ll be able to see a passthrough view of objects on top of your desk. (Otherwise, it would not be practical to simply have the desk appear in VR without being able to see objects on top of it).

Sitting next to somebody using the Rii K18 is worse than sitting next to someone chewing their gum with their mouth open. Instinctively you know that what they’re doing should be quieter, but somehow they didn’t get the message.If you’re looking for a no-frills keyboard from a reliable brand, then you wouldn’t find a better option than Microsoft All-In-One Media Keyboard. Build-wise, the keyboard is made of hard plastic and can take the occasional spills and drops here and there. On the right side of the keyboard, you’ll find the 3-inch touchpad that supports all your favorite Windows gestures including pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scroll, dragging, and more. On top of that, the keyboard consists of customizable media hotkeys for a seamless HTPC experience.

Reconnecting is not automatic: The Logitech K830 doesn’t seem to reconnect to the Quest 2 automatically after the Quest 2 is turned off. Instead, I have to pair it again with the Quest 2. I’ll say again, I’m biased against mini-keyboards, so using the Rii R12 mini-keyboard was more frustrating than anything else. BUT…if you like them and you know what you’re getting yourself into, then this is a solid device that is built very well. Consider this a personal preference choice. The Best HTPC Keyboard: The Verdict I think Logitech read my mind because literally every single one of them was fixed in its replacement the K400 Plus. You can resize any window (not just Narrow, Normal or Wide) by hovering the mouse to either edge of the window and dragging the bar that appears. The K830 comes all set to go. If you’d rather personalize the settings, you can do so using Logitech Options software.

Limitations and Bugs

The keyboard is almost identical, except for the placement of the directional pad and the right shift button. One of the biggest things I look for when buying a keyboard is how the directional pad cuts into the right Shift key. Let me explain what I mean. I predominantly hit the Shift key with my right pinky finger, ignoring the left Shift key. That’s just the way I type. If a keyboard uses a half-width shift key, I immediately pass and move on to the next one because I know that anything I type will be error-ridden. Thankfully, the Logitech K400 Plus has the full-width Shift key. Keep in mind though, Logitech makes it very clear that this is a “living room HTPC keyboard for your connected TV.” Silent keys won’t disturb your friends during the movie.

The display would have to be detailed enough that you could read small text easily. You also wouldn’t want to lose your work. You’d want the virtual monitors to be persistent as you move from place to place. And although most of us are touch typists, it would help a lot to be able to see both they keyboard and the mouse, especially when we have to type a lot of symbols and numbers.

Logitech Custom Settings version 1.00.549 (keyboard programmable, touchpad programmable), Logitech Unifying Software (connection utility) On the bottom of the K830 are four rectangular rubber feet to give it a little extra traction on smooth surfaces.

The Logitech K830’s keyboard is slightly smaller than my usual desktop keyboard which also happens to be made by Logitech – the K250. One of the big challenges for me when typing is that my hands often run into each other as I’m trying to type. It’s very difficult for me to type on anything that’s less than full size, or on a keyboard that doesn’t have enough spacing between the keys. You don’t find that with the K830. Everything is spaced out nicely and feels comfortable while you’re typing… If your receiver and product have the below logo, you have the Logi Bolt receiver and a Logi Bolt compatible product. There’s a time and a place for a mouse, but it's not your knee or the arm of your couch. K830 makes navigation a whole lot more convenient by combining a wireless keyboard and touchpad into one device. I’m disappointed that it doesn’t offer anything substantially different except that it is SO much heavier than the Logitech! Finally, there are no volume controls or any other special frills on this keyboard. I get it – this was a design choice to make the device as small as possible. But it’s still nice for an HTPC keyboard to have some sort of volume and media controls without having to use a special function key.
