Keyboards are a fun piece of tech to shop for. There’s lots of varying use cases that emphasize different aspects of what a keyboard does that I find interesting. I myself uses a big ol’ mechanical keyboard where every click and every clack can be heard from miles away. Luckily, I work from home so there is no one to disturb but my cat and he doesn’t seem to mind. If you want something slimmer, a model worth your attention is this here Logitech K400 Plus wireless keyboard. Amazon currently has it on sale for 14% off. That brings the price from $35 to an even more reasonable $30 for a limited time.
The Logitech K400 Plus combines the keyboard and mouse into a singular devices. On the right side where on other keyboards you might find a number pad instead features a touchpad complete with a right and left click button.
The keyboard works wirelessly and is a simple plug and play. The dongle plugs in via a USB port and voila. No software installation needed. You can though download the Logitech Options Software if you’d like to get in there and start adjusting controls and changing your preferences.
Logitech built this wireless keyboard to last. It has spill-resistant design and its keys are long-lasting. The battery is able to keep going for up to 18 months so you’ll be charging it pretty irregularly.
Effortless PC-to-TV Navigation
Where this keyboard really shines is not at your desk, but on the couch. The wireless functionality met with the embedded touchpad mouse controls make this a gamechanger for your controlling a PC you have hooked up to your TV. It has a range of up to 33 ft which should more than cover the space between any piece of furniture in your living room and your TV.
Lots of folks are turning away from their Smart TV’s own integrated UIs and even skipping on dedicated media players like a Roku or Fire TV Stick and instead opting for a mini PC or even their laptops.
One thing I can’t stand about using my TV and it’s remote is anytime I need to open the search bar. It can be so tedious to type out the titles of the movies and shows I’m looking for one letter at a time using the on-screen keypads. The ones that just put the whole alphabet across the top in a single line are especially egregious. Using a dedicated keyboard like the Logitech K400 Plus with a PC just makes for a way more pleasant experience.
