Having said that, I don't think the K830's soft-feeling and flat keys are as good as Logitech's Incurve keys. It's very noticeable at first coming from using the K810 wireless illuminated keyboard, but the sensation does get more familiar the more you type. And while this will be a matter of personal preference, the keys have a sticky throw to them which makes it seem like you're typing in slow-motion almost.
Unlike Logitech's amazingly good Incruve keys, the K830's keys are completely flat and have no texture to them, which translates into a not so comfortable typing experience. Logitech almost always nails it with its key design and engineering, but the keys on the K830 aren't as pleasing to type on as nearly every other keyboard that Logitech has put out. What we don't like, however, are the keys. When it comes to the typing experience, the K830 delivers a very smooth and quiet performance. I'd much rather use a mouse instead, and I have done just that from day one of using the K830. This is definitely annoying enough to make me not want to use this touchpad. It may be a small unintended jitter, but it's still very noticeable when you come to hove over a link and suddenly the cursor jumps out of position because you've reached that problematic edge. Not only that but I found that this touchpad has a very weird issue where it'll make your cursor jump by as much as half an inch from its path when you reach the edges of the touchpad surface. And although it is a smooth, albeit plastic surface and works relatively well in performing multi-touch gestures and is acceptably responsive for general finger tracking, it's a little too small for use in a desk environment and not as pleasing to use as a glass trackpad such as Logitech's T650 Rechargeable Touchpad. It's 3.1-inches wide and 2-inches tall with two left and right physical mouse buttons underneath it, which are just terribly cheap feeling when pressed. Unlike the extra large touchpad on the TK820, the touchpad here is on the small size. It's not as bad as you might think, but we expected a lot better from the keyboard harbinger that is Logitech. The buttons and switches are way too plasticky and lack the same kind of refinement found on other Logitech keyboards. Out of all the keyboards Logitech released these past few years, were the least excited about using the K830. It looks poorly made up close, and it feels like it too. It just seems like a cheaply made keyboard, one that most certainly does not merit a $100 price tag. And while both keyboards are made using the same all-plastic construction, I can't help but find the K830 to be inferiorly built in comparison. The K830 is lighter, more compact and takes up less space than its all-in-one counterpart – the TK820. Apart from silver-colored front and back accents, the K830 keyboard keeps a dark and streamlined appearance with a few red-colored function keys accompanied by crisp white key characters. Though I've got to be honest, out of all of Logitech's wireless keyboards, it has the most executive-looking styling out of the bunch. At first glance Logitech's wireless all-in-one offering is not a bad looking piece of kit, though it is mundane at best.
