    • The keys are comfortable and the backlight is the brightest I've ever seen
    • Love the keyboard and auto backlight, but disappointed it died in just over a year and half.
    • I love the backlighting
    • so I only see the bright backlight if I actually put my hands over it to use it
    • I love the responsive backlight that senses when hover your hands over it
    • The key travel is nice and I love the white backlight
    • and I love the backlighting.
    • When it's working it is a great device with good key feeling and a backlight that senses when you hands are near it and turns off otherwise, but getting Logitech to replace a 2 month old defective keyboard under warranty is turning out to be a real headache
    • I like the backlight
    • The backlight is so nice - no more leaning forward and squinting at the F-keys or trying to remember which key is ^ or %.
    • I looked at the cheaper wireless backlit keyboard that were around $20.00 and for some
    • simple to the point keyboard & love the backlight at night
    • But i am glad that it happened as I found a better solution - a corded backlit kb for around $25 with options for 3 or 5 backlit colors
    • This keyboard has accurate and lag-free wireless, adjustable backlighting, and its chiclet keys have the feel of a mechanical board.
    • Love the backlighting on the keys as it helps older eyes.
    • The backlighting is great, the battery seems strong.
    • The backlighting is not bright at all and it only lasted about 2 years even though we've barely used it.
    • The backlight is great and the battety lasts a lot
    • The backlighting of the keyboard is great when you want to use it in the dark.
    • Great sensitivity to movement to wake from sleep, bright multi level backlight, solid keystroke length and feel
    • Backlight is great - bright and fully illuminates my keyboard in all the ways I need, I love that both my keyboard and mouse run off the same dongle
    • The backlight is erratic and does not always come on when it is supposed to
    • Very nice keyboard, backlight is useful (to me), and like the near silent action and size/functions.
    • When I opened the package up and plugged it in, the backlight was not working and the enter key was just hanging on by a thread
    • PROS:-Full sized keyboard with well-spaced keys-Quieter typing than Logitech's K200 and K300 series-Adjustable backlight
    • The backlight on the keyboard began to work erratically after about 10 months of use
    • The backlight works as described
    • The backlighting is perfect
    • The backlighting is great
    • The backlight itself is the main attraction of the K800 along with what Logitech dubs "hand proximity detection
    • love the backlighting on the keys!
    • It offers great backlighting, consistant and bright enough to not cause distraction but able to clearly see the keys, lots of additional keys (the all important volume buttons, haha) and the best part of this keyboard is wrist detection
    • Nice backlighting with very quiet keys!!
    • This keyboard feels great and the backlighting is nice, but as with every Logitech device I've ever purchased, the USB receiver is terrible
    • The backlight seems more solid, I suspect my original may have had a few missing leds, and brighter
    • Backlight is perfect in my environment
    • Can't someone make a decent backlit keyboard that works.
    • I love the backlight, and the ease of the buttons.
    • On the other hand, the backlight is very nice, the keys feel good, and I like the wireless battery life and hand-waving back light activation
    • The backlighting for the keys works great too
    • The backlight on this is by far the brightest I've seen outside of keyboards 3 to 4 times this price or more, and those are wired RBG keyboards
    • The backlighting is so nice.
    • Love the keyboard and auto backlight, but disappointed it died in just over a year and half.
    • I think the backlight on this unit is awesome.
    • the backlight only comes on when you hover your hands over the keyboard via some type of sensor, and it works very well.
    • Then, suddenly, the backlighting got really erratic and, to make matters
    • For now the bright backlight and the keyboard feel have stopped me from looking elsewhere.
    • The illumination activation is a little odd -- sometimes vibrations will activate the backlight, and it won't go out unless I press a key or wave my hand over the keyboard (
    • I used to put my laptop on my lap and could only use it for about an hour a day if that and my back would be trashed, now I can use it for as long as I want and the keys are so responsive and easy to use and very easy to see as the backlight is awesome
    • Very bright backlighting that can be adjusted as to intensity
    • It is VERY quiet on key touches, the key backlight is just right.
    • It has a very solid quality feeling to it, and I love the backlighting for the keys.
    • I also like the lower profile keys and the backlighting which feels more like my laptop
    • Also, the backlighting is slightly annoying, constantly switching on and off if you're doing anything where your hands leave the keyboard (e.g. music recording)
    • The backlight is nice.
    • works well, great backlit
    • The sensor that detects your hand BEFORE you touch the keyboard and reactivates the backlight is wonderful
    • Love this keyboard...and most especially the backlight on it.
    • Most important to me, and the reason I bought the keyboard, is the excellent backlighting
    • Good, solid keyboard and the backlighting is great for sitting on the couch surfing.
    • The backlight is nice, but although I like my rooms a little bit dark, I'm not typing in utter darkness,
    • I originally liked the backlighting, but if that fails the keys are very hard to read in anything short of bright light.
    • This keyboard is great, the backlight is awesome
    • and i thought the backlight was pretty cool, but when it comes to the feel of the keys, I kept feeling like they were being punched by the keyboard a lot and felt way too rubbery for my tastes
    • quiet and the backlights are perfect.
    • the backlight is great in the evening
    • I love the backlighting on the keys and the keys have a nice feel to them.
    • The keyboard has a great backlight that is activated by touch.
    • The backlight of the keys is great
    • I have owned stays charged for weeks on end for me even when I may have 24 hours plus gaming on it, Love the backlit
    • Amazing battery life, backlight could be brighter though
    • Excellent keyboard, great key feel, quiet operation, and the backlighting is effective and not obnoxious
    • It worked just as well in the BIOS screens as it did after booting linux, so I can't see anything wrong with it
    • I also really appreciate the off/on button as it allows me to turn it off at night so if my cat walks across the keyboard, she doesn't wake up the computer and type random characters
    • that only reactivate you you actually type something and the first thing you type is lost as it is turning the lights back on
    • I've had this thing for over 5 years and it works just as well as when I first got it
    • Oh and ontop of that, the sensor for the backlit keyboard doesnt exactly work as it stays on
    • Built-in sensors detect your hands as they approach the keyboard and, in turn, toggle the backlight on and off; the keyboard lights up when your hands are roughly four inches away, causing it to brighten up as you reach for it
    • Works as
    • good as that makes it ezier than getting used to a revised new fangled change in the new K800
    • Not a big deal, as it's easy to just plug it in.
    • It's fully charged, clean as
    • , the "c" key decided to either not work at all or generate an unending stream of "c"s.
    • A big thanks, Logitech!(curious, I always engage tech workers, as I once was
    • Oh well I soon enough realized this is not a waterproof
    • I did not bother Amazon because well I had a 5 yr full warranty with SquareTrade
    • The K800 is smooth, but not quite as quiet as I anticipated.
    • Really disappointed as I liked everything else about it.
    • n’t hate my old keyboard it just broke
