Good keyboard, but not well thought out and overpriced

Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated Keyboard (German keyboard layout, QWERTY) (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

I was looking for a keyboard with which I can play. Criteria were anti-ghosting / 6 Key Rollover, flat keys, Scissor technique, lighting and standard layout. After some research and mystery shopping this keyboard remained over.

Short explanation for all non-gamers: With anti-ghosting capability is called the multiple keys simultaneously to verärbeiten. 6 Key Rollover specified this to a maximum of 6 keys (limit for USB). This means I can press 6 keys simultaneously processed all arrive on PC and.

Who now wonder why I did not use the wired version:
Old models of the "Logitech Illuminated Keyboard" (with cable) were anti-ghosting / 6KRO. However, this was eventually changed and there are only models with 2KRO available that are rather unsuitable for games. In the "Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated Keyboard" 6KRO was maintained fortunately. Logitech does not expect comfortable here with gamers.
In my opinion, the wireless technology is so advanced that at least I can not tell the difference to cable keyboards playing. In general, however powerful transmitters apply in 2.4GHz range (eg WLAN router) always as sources of interference. My wireless router is away 2m wide and not interfere.

The keyboard itself:

Pros
+ Anti Ghosting (6KRO with very few exceptions)
+ Space saving keyboard
+ Nice stop
+ Quiet
+ Long Akuulaufzeit
+ Stable state with unfolded feet
+ Piano finish only in the button area
+ White Lighting (I like very much)
+ Touch sensor for lighting

Cons
- Overpriced
- Very uneven illumination for this price range
- Not really a standard layout (left and right function keys [Enter, Tab, etc.] are too narrow)
- Off / On marking too cheap for this price range (as I would expect LEDs instead of expensive color film)
- Handball section for large hands a bit too short
- Lighting level is not saved
- Key design looks a bit cheesy by rounding
- Charging indicator unusable
- Only one single Logitech software to install. Thus, no compatibility with non- "Unifying" products.
- Caps Lock key has optical mark, roles and Num ... must not nobody understand.
- Cheap batteries give me not in this price range from (2000mAh eNiTime)

Finally, a word to the battery. Installed NiMH batteries are brand eNiTime format AA with 2000mAh. These need to deploy the full power, are conditioned. Say, you have to be discharged and fully charged several times. Then keep the installed batteries at the highest illumination level and constant use 24 also loose. I use the keyboard for several hours a day, have always turned the highest lighting level, and a battery charge lasts for about 1 week.
If that's not enough, can indeed use more batteries.
