Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 know this is maybe nichey for certain people but lack of a print screen key on the TK820 is an issue for me. I loved it otherwise. Just got the 810 spoken of above and despite being a smaller unit, has the printscrn key.

I've been using the K810 [1] for some time for all my computers. I find it absolutely brilliant to type on (being mostly in vim, the awkward home/end, page up/down, arrows etc don't matter very much), and it also has the ability to switch between 3 paired bluetooth devices. There is also the Lenovo Thinkpad Compact Bluetooth [2], which I haven't tried, but allegedly "features a simplified pairing with the system thro…

The K810 is quite a nice keyboard, IMO better than the Apple bluetooth keyboard in terms of feel. It appears to be functionally identical to this new K480 and would appear to have the exact same physical keyboard.

yup, just picked up a k810, quite hapyy with it for my surface pro 3. Added my android phone as a 2nd device to pair to. Key strokes are good, connection has been very reliable, no latency. The apple keyboards have this bodily twang when typing on it (it cheapens the feel) that the k10 thankfully does not have. it feels more solid. I can't say it's the perfect keyboard, but it's great, worth the price. I even overpayed at my local big box store and I don't mind that much.

I'm really glad you pointed out the lenovo, that might be just the media center keyboard I've been looking for.

My alternative choice: http://kbtalkingusa.com/

I purchased a KBTalking Pro and it is the best keyboard I've owned, I like it better than my Das. Similar to the keyboard being discussed, it allows you to pair with 10 different bluetooth devices and switch between them via keyboard shortcuts.

I wish they could just keep this keyboard in stock. the feature of bluetooth isn't so obvious on the site is it?
