RESTOCKED Thanks @Roose4837
Something decent for fathers day, or if your dad's a deadbeat like mine, buy it for yourself.
Pairing this with the recent G2 N100 mini PC deals with Libreelec & Kodi for the TV.
Cheapest I could find https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Logitech+k…
Free shipping with eBay Plus.
Can't believe these still cost so much, but they are damn decent.
$49 when I bought my first one in 2013 lol. They must have made squillions of dollars on these over the decades
That's $65 in today's dollar. So this is cheaper by 30% (for a 12 year old product) :P
Still have mine from 2014, hasn't missed a beat. Paid somewhere in the $40's from memory.
I really don't see the value or appeal in this keyboard unless it's for TV use. I'd still preferer the MX Keys Mini over this for $20 more.
Would you show me where to get mx keys mini for 70 bucks? I have been eyeing one for a while.
MX keys mini doesn't have the trackpad, not really comparable
This does and it's cheaper https://amzn.asia/d/1auiMeE Rapoo E900T in Black or White for $33.99 on Amazon.
Rapoo make/ starting to make decent quality peripherals, great value for the money.
Look at the size of the enter key on that one.
One review mentions it being a problem, and I can imagine it would hinder usability.
As a geologist I use these daily, paired with a Panasonic Toughpad logging core and chips on a mine site in Central Queensland. They are very reliable and last ages even getting covered in light rain or mud. I am unaware of anything similar that could be used for the same task.
People use them for racing sim set-ups too
I mean yeah, its clearly a TV/big screen/roaming keyboard.
Why else would you want a trackpad on a keyboard, especially any trackpad that isn't an Apple one.
Another slightly niche use is if you ever have to physically (not ssh) log into a server than has a GUI. The trackpad comes in handy.
Yep perfect for servers and small spaces. Never had one die and they come with the Unifying dongle which can be useful
It works for travel as well i guess
I've been using this for my home lab since 2016. totally worth it
You would only get it for the touch pad. It's not a nice keyboard, but it's a very functional combo device for when you don't have a desk. The difference in typing feel between the K580 and the K400 is night and day. K400 feels like a cheap dome keyboard from 2010 and the K580 feels much closer to the MX Mini.
Have this for my TV and HTPC…. works great. Good price too.
I use one of these for VR and it's handy.
These are the perfect media centre keyboard but they do like a line of sight to the device, tinted glass can interup the beam. Saying that, they are very robust and the track pad is responsive.
They're RF not IR
Have the ancient K400r and lost the dongle. That one seemed to be not compatiable with any of the following receivers, tried them all without success.
they pair with a "unifyer" dongle so all hope is not lost
I have a lot of trouble pairing these keyboards with various unifying receivers. I have no idea why
I have 2 of the keyboards and both have issues
I've had mine for years also but the battery cover is loose. Wondering if anyone has the same experience
negative, tight as a fish's arse mine is.
Still using my Microsoft media center keyboard.
Are these backlit?
No
RIP K830. Easily the best keyboard for lounge/tv use. Mine is still going strong since 2014. Rechargable battery still lasts weeks.
I even have a backup in case this ever dies.
Huge miss by Logitech, it's literally so good that it was discontinued, likely due to not enough replacements being purchased.
There's literally petitions for Logitech to bring it back and Logitech actually responds to them telling people to kindly go fondle themselves.
Probably just a bit too expensive iirc.
I got this the k400 over it back when it was still available and it just came down to price i think. The k400 isn't bad enough to fork over the extra imo.
K830 was $70 on sale.
10 years of batteries offsets the difference comfortably, as well as just being a better keyboard to begin with.
Strong agree. Anyone saying the keyboard in this deal is good has not used a k830
I got one of these on AliExpress a year or so ago. Around $35 I think. Good for use on the TV with the Mac Mini.

The Rii i4 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard is much better option for HTPC.
Thanks OP, been waiting on this exact model 🙏
Shows up at AU $53.70. No free postage.
These aren't very nice to type on, but they're decent for TV use. Worked fine for PS5.
