Stupid question: what's the encryption used on this?
If they are using it they have the option for AES as stated by the BlueTooth 4 protocol.
Any easy way to check?

#112I wish there was some kind of dongle I could plug my das keyboard into that would give me the multi-device feature without sacrificing on the actual keyboard part.
I think what you're describing is called a "USB switch". https://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10111&cs_id...

#113Shame that this has no back-light; One of the most common setup I can imagine, is a laptop on some kind of riser (with IDE open), A propped up iPad (to watch tutorials / documentation). Often this kind of setup will be situated in a dark room where user will greatly benefit from a backlit keyboard. :(

additionally the K810 is backlit, which this does not appear to be, the backlit function is fantastic.
Really surprised it is not backlit, it seems like all the other keyboard options are.
Coming from a keyboard geek, their TK820 is by far the nicest keyboard they do in terms of actual keys and switches and the trackpad. It isn't backlit though, that's the only box it doesn't tick. I've got a K830 for the livingroom and it's nowhere near as good.

I think the majority of the users of this probably won't be looking at the keys as they type...

#116Add a solar cell to power it, and I'm in. The K760 and K750 are amazing, simply because I never have to worry about cords or batteries.

Hmm.. but I feel because of the non standard layout and the size, most touch typists will still take some time before they can adapt.

The only gripe I have with using bluetooth keyboards for my desktop is that batteries seem to drain much faster than the models using proprietary dongles. What is your experience with the K810 ?
The battery time is probably my biggest gripe with it as well. I keep the backlight continuously on at the lowest setting (it turns off when inactive), and I think I get around 3-4 days of heavy usage (note: ballpark estimate!). The battery is also not (easily) replaceable. So while it's no problem from day to day (and you could keep the USB cable connected at all times if you wanted too), it's quite poor compared to…
Yikes, that' abysmal. I have an iMac and use the apple wireless keyboard that comes with it and I can't even remember the last time I changed the batteries.

#120Am I the only one who barely has enough time to interact with one PC after work (if I even feel like turning it on after a full day of programming), that the thought of interacting with multiple devices at once is overwhelming?
