I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

The new keyboard is slightly different from the old version, with a different, rougher plastic (still great) and a new Logitech logo instead of the old embossed image.

The small left shift doesn't pose a problem at all, but if you don't want to get used to it, the button next to it can be remapped. Also, perhaps, the keyboard will seem uncomfortable to those who prefer high keys or mechanics. I think it's a matter of habit.

Additionally, lovers of creativity and / or multi-colored layouts can use a marker to change the backlight of the keyboard or individual letters.

It is better to clean the keyboard often and carefully with a can of compressed air, without disassembling it - the clips are quite delicate and with surprises.

While one of the advantages of a wireless device is the ability to stow it anywhere you need to free up desktop space, the K800i's design also allows for vertical storage: you can put the keyboard on the top edge and lock it in place with its feet.

Pros

I have been using such keyboards for more than five, or even seven years - I don’t even remember when I got it for the first time. A couple of years ago I bought a new one - the old one died solely through my fault. I bought a third copy this week - for a girl. I work as a screenwriter, I write a lot. The keyboard is perfect. Full-size, with a comfortable palm rest, quiet and pleasant pressing, tactile notches on the F / A and J / O keys for touch typing, convenient buttons for calling the calculator and volume control, as well as other useful options through the Function button. The design of the keyboard is minimalistic - it is a beautiful and stylish device that will look incredibly cool in the same minimalist environment. The backlight reacts to the presentation of hands and is adjusted both automatically (the sensor determines the optimal settings depending on the light in the room) and manually. The wireless connection allows you to watch TV shows by switching episodes, voice tracks and subtitles from the comfort of your couch, as well as many other options if you are familiar with the hotkeys of your OS and applications. It is worth saying that the keyboard has a universal receiver, to which you can connect a suitable wireless mouse - and then you won’t need to memorize hotkeys at all to work from the couch. And all this with a long battery life. Separately, I want to note the off button: there are two cats in the house that consider my workplace (including myself) to be their property, so this function helps protect yourself from accidental paws and pay the necessary attention to your pet. The keyboard is just fine and worth the money even now, despite the fact that the price bites a lot.

Cons

Very small flaws. On a modern keyboard, the green diode of the Caps Lock key is located very low - and you can see the light that indicates the inclusion, you can only bend over the keyboard. It is possible that this is due to a small rubber pad, the purpose of which is to limit the green light coming from the diode - on the old model, if my memory serves me, there was no such problem, but there this part peeled off and moved to the side. Unfortunately, there is no way to test the theory, because this keyboard does not work. The second fly in the ointment - this keyboard has kryptonite. These are liquids. The fact is that if even a small amount of water gets into the keyboard, it can short-circuit, and it will start typing incorrect letters. This will continue until it dries out. I filled in the first copy several times (and was very scared the first time when she started acting weird), but after a while everything returned to normal steadily - the problems started only after an almost full can of beer was dropped on the keyboard. And even after that, she worked for about another six months - I bought a new one only after one of the keys stopped being pressed normally. Thus, if you are not very careful, it is better to have an old keyboard in stock or get a second cheap one, because after flooding the K800i you will most likely not be able to work with it for a while.
