    I picked one up a while ago to replace my K400 but the K400 wont die K830 sitting in cupboard for use oneday.

      just use the K830 and sell the k400? I have both but the 830 is leaps and bounds ahead of the 400.

      Don't let the K830 lithium battery die in the cupboard, or you'll be up for a replacement. Lithium batteries will not charge if they drop below a critical voltage. I had a pair of 3D TV glasses and a Fitbit Alta died because of this.

    I think there are 2 variants of this keyboard under the K830 Name, One Has Bluetooth and the Unifying Receiver and One that only has the receiver. Did you know what one this is? I think the function key on f12 on the Bluetooth variant has the Bluetooth logo instead of sleep

    • jimojr on 20/05/2019 - 13:23

      This one got Logitech Unifying 2.4GHz wireless technology. See here

      • BradH13 on 20/05/2019 - 13:45

        It's got Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz. Says right in the photo you posted. "Bluetooth Smart Technology".

        • Le-Tentacle on 20/05/2019 - 16:28

          Might be worth updating to the new one for me at that price :P

  • incipient on 20/05/2019 - 13:14

    Does this generally work with smart TVs via the unifying receiver? Or only Bluetooth ready TVs? Or even only computer based media boxes? (kodi, PC's, etc)

    • jimojr on 20/05/2019 - 13:26

      Yes, it works with smart TVs via the unifying receiver.

    • CH on 20/05/2019 - 16:00

      You don't need Bluetooth on your TV, but it needs to be 'smart' enough to recognise USB keyboards, and the receiver/dongle is required.

    Will other shops price match it, how to know stock of it in other officeworks? Thank you :)

    Bummer - I want one of these, but not on OW website?

      Not all states got it, e.g. ACT OWs don't have this ever being in stock.

  • maxed_out on 20/05/2019 - 13:44

    JB has it on sale for $90 https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/accessories/logi…

  • atlas on 20/05/2019 - 14:30

    Didn't realise this needs to be recharged, as opposed to just putting new batteries in. 10 day battery life is a bit of a bummer.

    • alvian on 20/05/2019 - 15:35

      A three-hour charge provides up to 10 days of use when you type about two hours a day with the backlight on, or about one year without the backlight.

      NOTE: The use you get between charges may vary depending on your usage pattern.

        I've had one for 6 months and charged it three times on minimum backlight and I use it everyday on my HTPC.

        • smurfstah on 27/05/2019 - 10:17

          Agree, had one for a few years now - use it every day and only charge it every couple of months

    Just an FYI that if you wish to use bluetooth and not the dongle, you can not quickly switch between devices like some other Logitech keyboards using bluetooth with easy switching tech. You have to forget the device and re-pair every time you want to change device. This is highly annoying if you wish to quickly switch from a media player and say a tablet, phone or laptop.

    Other than that it's a great keyboard, though I'm finding due to its size I'm not quickly reaching for it as a media player keyboard. You'd probably prefer one of those mini keyboard controllers.

  • kranix on 21/05/2019 - 23:04

    How good is this for a regular PC? Is the keyboard decent enough to type on? Is the trackpad smooth enough? Can it handle multiple finger gestures?

    I recently switched from Mac to Windows and have been struggling to find a good wireless trackpad that's on par with my old Apple Magic Touchpad.

  • PvsNP on 20/06/2019 - 13:13

    any idea on stock levels?

    • PvsNP on 20/06/2019 - 13:16

      NVM, I think me needs a plane to get there! 1 hour and 5 mins journey :S
