Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus Review: Trendy Easy To Use Keyboard

Although media streaming devices have mostly eliminated the necessity for home theatre PCs for viewing TV programs, there are still moments when it's pleasant to lay on the sofa, put your feet up, and watch anything or work. For this category, Logitech offers the Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus. It's slim, light, and cheap, and as long as it does not have an Apple symbol on it. It may be used to control a desktop or a laptop in the lounge room. It's not ideal for developers or gamers since it lacks customizable keys and lights, but it's ideal for the workplace because it's quiet while typing. It also includes volume controls and a touchpad, making it ideal for use with an HTPC or Television. Let us do a Logitech wireless touch keyboard k400 plus review: stylish couch keyboard.

Mac Minus

As the name suggests, the K400 Plus is wireless and easy to use because it has a built-in touchpad. The K400 Plus doesn't have Bluetooth, just like many other new Logitech products. Instead, it has a small 2.4GHz Unifying receiver that you plug into the computer you want to control. Logitech doesn't say that this product works with Macs, but it does say that it works with Android 5.0 or higher, Windows 7 or higher, and Chrome OS devices with the right USB port. This doesn't mean OS X won't work with the K400 Plus. The downloadable Logitech Options software connects the keyboard to a Mac as a plug-and-play device, but it doesn't let you change how the keyboard works.

Keyed up

The 12 keys on the top row of the K400 Plus keyboard can be used as shortcuts or function keys. It can switch between applications, search, make the window bigger, and control the default media player with buttons for the previous track, the next track, play, and pause. A volume mute button and two up/down buttons are above the 3-by-2-inch touchpad. The left and right mouse-click buttons are right next to the touchpad. People who like to use both hands can click the left mouse button by pressing the yellow button in the upper left corner. Using Logitech Options, you can set up the K400 Plus to touch-tap, let you know when Caps Lock is on, let you know when the battery is getting low, and let you make your shortcuts.

Typing Performance

The typing isn't bad. When you type on them, the ABS plastic keycaps feel slick, and the membrane switch makes them feel a little soft. Because there isn't much space between every button, it may be difficult to determine when your finger is between two keys. You're more likely to make a mistake because of this. As a plus point, the keys feel very sturdy, and their modest profile should prevent fatigue.

Additional Features

The Logitech K400 Plus has buttons to control the volume and hotkeys to control the music. You may move the trackpad with your right thumb and click with your left. Even though the Windows key doesn't have a lock button, you can turn it off in the Logitech Options software. But you can't use a hotkey to turn the lock on or off. Instead, you have to open the software every time. When you prefer a board having a TrackPoint rather than a trackpad, consider the TrackPoint Keyboard II. This keyboard also includes an integrated trackpad. Some claim it has flaws, but we found none when we examined it, even though the trackpad is not part of our test bench.

Different From Other Keyboards

The Logitech K400 Plus is a wireless multimedia keyboard having a trackpad that can be utilized when sitting on the sofa to control a smart TV. It's much like the Corsair K83 Wireless MEdia Keyboard and the AmazonBasics K4R. However, it might be a good buy for some users. Many options can be found in our lists of the top keyboards, the perfect wireless keyboards, as well as the ideal keyboards for writers.

Bottom line

The Logitech K400 Plus doesn't work well with home theatre PCs because it doesn't have Bluetooth or backlighting. If you don't need such functions, the Logitech K400 Plus has a touchpad so that you may operate your computer without a mouse. It also has buttons for changing the volume and keys for playing music. Because the left mouse click button is located at the upper left of the keyboard, you may move the trackpad with your right thumb while clicking with your left.
