Qolalkayaga fadhiga waxa ay bilaabayaan in ay buuxiyaan noocyo kala duwan oo elektaroonik ah, ha ahaadeen TV smart, HTPC ( PC Theatre PC^{(Home Theatre PC)} ), console-ka ciyaarta ama PC ku xidhan shaashad weyn. Laakiin waxa niyad jabka ku ah dhamaantood waa marka aad rabto inaad raadiso nuxurka waana inaad ku qortaa ama isticmaashaa tilmaame, waxa ugu xun oo dhan gudcurka. Dabcan, xalka aad rabto inaad uga baxsato niyad-jabka waayo-aragnimadan waa in la isticmaalo kiiboodhka wireless-ka ee fudud, iyo, ka sii wanagsan, mid leh furaha gadaal-daab iyo taabasho ku dhex-jira. Laga soo bilaabo adduunkan adag ee kiiboodhka, waxaan ka helnay Logitech K830 kiiboodhka qolka-nololeedka ee Iftiimay^{(Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard)}waxaanan ku dadaalnay inaan ku tijaabino noocyada kala duwan ee aaladaha. Akhristow, innagoo dib u eegis ku samaynayna kiiboodhka saaxiibtinimada leh ee qolka fadhiga oo aanu aragno inay noo oggolaanayso inaan ku raaxaysanno raaxada sariirteena:

Furitaanka Kiiboodhka Qol- fadhiga ee Logitech K830 oo Iftiimay^{(Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard)}

Waxay ku timaadaa baakad caadi ah oo Logitech ah , oo leh sanduuq dhalaalaya oo leh sawirka kiiboodhka ee deegaanka loogu talagalay ee xagga hore. Goobtani waxay sidoo kale muujinaysaa magaca oo buuxa iyo xaqiiqda ah inay leedahay qaab Ingiriisi Maraykan ah. Logitech wuxuu kaloo ku daray, luqado badan, in alaabtani tahay habka ugu wanaagsan
ee lagu xakameyn karo Smart TV-gaaga, xitaa mugdiga.

Dhinaca danbe waxa uu muujinayaa muuqaal aad u qurux badan oo la soo koobay ee kiiboodhka oo ku yaal isla warqad dhalaalaysa. Sidoo kale, halkan, luqado badan, Logitech waxay nagu wargelisaa waxa ku jira sanduuqa waxayna na siisaa liis yar oo tilmaamo farsamo oo muhiim ah (labadaba qoraalka iyo sawirada sawirada).

Daboolka ayaa si fudud u soo baxaya, gudahana waxa aad ka helaysaa kiiboodhka oo ku dul fadhiya saxaarad kartoonada ah oo aan lahayn wax caag ah oo la duubo. Doorasho macno samaynaysa maadaama ay tani tahay hab deegaan ahaan u baraarugsan oo lagu gaarsiinayo aaladaha.

Ka dib markaad ka saartid kiiboodhka sanduuqa waxaad arki doontaa in saxaarada kartoonada ay ka kooban yihiin qaybo yaryar oo badan kuwaas oo ka kooban dhammaan qalabyada muuqda. Habkan dhoofinta ee sida wanaagsan loo habeeyey waa wax aan jeclaan lahayn inaan ka aragno soosaarayaasha kale.

Gudaha^(Inside) , oo ay weheliyaan kiiboodhkaaga ^(Compliance)K830 , waxaad ka heli doontaa kuwan soo socda: Logitech USB-ga^{(Logitech USB)} mideeya, fiilada USB -ga ee micro , fiilada dheeraynta USB , buug-tilmaameed luqado badan ku qoran iyo macluumaadka ^(Safety)muhiimka^{(Important Information)} ah ee Logitech iyo dammaanad^(Warranty) ) warqad yar.

Tilmaamaha Hardware

Fikradda ka dambeysa Logitech K830 Keyboard-ka qolka-noolaha^{(Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard)} waa mid fudud: in la bixiyo kiiboodhka wireless-ka oo dhan oo leh furayaal gadaal shid iyo taabasho badan oo isku dhafan oo loogu talagalay xakamaynta cursorka. Weli, kani maaha kiiboodhka miiskaaga caadiga ah sababtoo ah waxaa loola jeedaa in loo isticmaalo xaalado badan oo caadi ah, sida ku fadhiista sariir ama sariir. Logitech waxay sheegaysaa, sidaan kor ku soo aragnay, in K830 ay bixin doonto "Kombuyuutar aan dadaal lahayn oo ku socda navigation TV, xitaa mugdiga". Sharaxaad xiiso leh, laakiin maaha sida saxda ah sida aad u malaynayso, sababtoo ah ma daboosho dhammaan isticmaalka kiiboodhkan isku-dhafan ee isku dhafka ah / taabashada taabashada waxay bixin kartaa. Waxaan dib ugu soo laaban doonaa aragtidan hoos u eegida.

Laydi leh oo geeso wareegsan leh, K830 waxay^(K830) la yaabban tahay qaab fulineed oo isku daraya muuqaalka mugdiga ah ee labada dhinac oo leh gabal qalin ah oo milicsanaya xagga hoose iyo sare ee jirkeeda. Kiiboodhka ayaa leh qaab QWERTY^(QWERTY) caadi ah oo wata furayaasha qaabka Chiclet . Logitech sidoo kale waxaa ku jiray 19 furayaal badan oo warbaahin ah kuwaas oo bixiya hawlo badan oo dheeri ah.

Logitech waxay meesha ka saartay suufka nambarka ee loo qoondeeyay, meesheediina waxaan ka helnaa taabashada taabashada si buuxda u shaqeysa, oo ay ku buuxaan badhamada jiirka bidix iyo midig. Intaa waxaa dheer, korka taabashada taabashada waxaan ku arki karnaa saddex furayaasha xakamaynta maqalka: carrabka, korodhka mugga iyo hoos u dhaca mugga.

Sidoo kale, dhinacan midig ee kiiboodhka waxa aad ka heli doontaa dareeme iftiin yar oo wareeg ah, kaas oo ku salaysan iftiinka qolka, ama iftiimin doona iftiinka dambe ee furayaasha. Waxaa ku xiga, geeska midig ee sare, waxaad ka heli doontaa nalka tusaha baytari. Wuu shidan doonaa mar kasta oo aad ku shubato kiiboodhka ama ka kacdo qaabka hurdada. Sidoo kale, tusiyaha LED - ka ayaa ku ogeysiin doona marka ay tahay wakhtiga lagu dallaci lahaa batteriga, iyadoo la adeegsanayo iftiin cas oo biligleynaya.

Qaybta sare ee jirku waxaynu ka helaynaa saddex astaamood oo muhiim ah oo u baahan in la tilmaamo. Bidix ilaa midig waxaynu marka hore aragnaa badhanka bidix ee mouse-ka, deked micro-USB ah iyo daminta dabka.

Dhabarka dambe ee kiiboodhka waa, si fiican, waa cad. Dhabarka fidsan wuxuu bixiyaa afar cagood oo si fiican loo dhigay iyo mid yar oo kale oo ka samaysan caag^(rubber) adag oo ku yaal aagga hoose ee xarunta.

Kiiboodhka waxa ku jira baytari Lithium-Ion ah oo ku xidhan kaas oo lagu dalaci karo iyada oo la kaashanayo dekeda micro-USB. Logitech waxay sheegaysaa inay leedahay madax-bannaani 10 maalmood oo lacag ah. Waa inaad, sida la malaynayo, gaadho calaamaddan markaad isticmaalayso 2 ama 3 saacadood maalintii oo ay shidantahay.
Naqshadeeda saaxiibtinimada leh waxay cabbirtaa kaliya 14.4 inji (36.7 cm) oo dhererkeedu yahay 4.9 inji (12.53 cm) oo dherer ah 0.65 inji (1.65 cm) qoto dheer. Miisaanka fudud, oo dhan-cagagga ah, dhismuhu wuxuu miisaankiisu yahay 17.5 oz (495 garaam).

Tilmaamaha buuxa ee kiiboodhkan waxaa laga heli karaa halkan: Logitech K830 Keyboard .

Isticmaalka Kiiboodhka Qolka-Living ee Logitech K830^{(Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard)}

Marka la eego naqshadeynta, dhamaystirka aluminium ee cidhifyada ayaa ah walxo xiiso leh oo u muuqda inay isku dhacaan daboolka jilicsan ee jilicsan ee ku yaala inta kale ee kumbuyuutarka. Daahan mugdiga ah ayaa aad ugu nugul faraha iyo xagashada. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad ku aragtay faraha qaar ka mid ah sawirada kore. Tani waxay runtii u muuqataa mid aad u xun kiiboodhka kaas oo helaya meesha uu ku yaal qolkaaga fadhiga halkaas oo, mid ka mid ah male, waxaa loo isticmaali doonaa gacmo hore loogu habeeyay baaquli jajab ah. Qolfkeeda balaastiigga ah way qalloocdaa oo, marka la dul saaro meel siman, mar walba ma xasilloona, inkastoo cago caag ah oo aan sibiq lahayn. Weli, kuwani waa cilladaha caadiga ah ee lahaanshaha nalka, dhammaan dhismaha caaga ah ee cidhiidhi ah oo kugu filan inaad hal gacan ku qabato.

Aan u jeedsano dareenkayaga wadnaha dhabta ah ee K830 , kuwaas oo ah furayaasha. Cabbirkooda guud wuxuu ahaa mid weyn oo nagu filan inaan si cadaalad ah wax u qorno oo dusha sare ee fidsan waxay bixisay taageero wanaagsan. Inkasta oo aan u maleyneyno in furayaashu ay aad isugu dhow yihiin, tani waa habka kaliya ee wax-soo-saarayaashu ay u awoodaan inay hoos u dhigaan cabbirka guud ee kumbuyuutarrada. Furayaashu waxay bixiyaan socdaal jilicsan oo cadaalad ah oo dheer kaas oo ku habboon isticmaalka caadiga ah laakiin kuma caawin doono inaad qorto qoraallo dhaadheer. Waxaan aad u jeclaysanay in aanay buuq badan samayn.

Si aad si cad u muujiso awoodeeda ku aaddan xakamaynta xaruntaada warbaahinta qolka fadhiga iyo/ama PC, soo-saaruhu wuxuu ku daray taxane warbaahin oo gaaban. Waxaa jira laba nooc oo kala duwan: furayaasha hal taabasho ah ( F1-F12 ) iyo kuwa u baahan inaad marka hore riixdo furaha Fn (ins, del, backspace, caps lock, Page up, Page down, home, end). Qaadashada wakhti aad ku barato waxa mid kasta oo iyaga ka mid ahi sameeyo waxay si weyn u wanaajin doontaa khibradaada warbaahineed; dhamaantood waxa lagu sharaxay buug-tilmaameedka. Qaarkiin waxaa laga yaabaa inaadan jeclayn xaqiiqda ah in shaqooyinka PC-ga caadiga ah ee furayaasha F lagu heli karo oo keliya iyadoo la adeegsanayo isku-darka Fn. Weli, marka laga eego aragtida qolka fadhiga, xakamaynta warbaahintu waxay si fiican u shaqeysaa waxayna ku daraysaa kumbuyuutarkan.

Waxaan sidoo kale rabnaa inaan ka wada hadalno laba ka mid ah astaamaha ka muuqda cidhifka sare. Meelaynta badhanka jiirka bidix ee aaggan ayaa si fiican ugu habboon jawiga qolka fadhiga. Haddii aad rabto in aad si raaxo leh ugu shaqeysid kiiboodhkaada adigoo ku haya labada gacmood, badhankan dheeraadka ah wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad ku isticmaasho taabashada gacantaada midig markaad wax ku gujiso gacantaada bidix. Sidoo kale, midabka furaha shid/daminta ayaa u muuqda mid adag in la shaqeeyo marka hore. Laakin, si loo fududeeyo aqoonsiga, waxaan kuu sheegi karnaa in cagaarka uu ka dhigan yahay in uu shidmayo halka liimiga uu ka dhigan yahay in uu dansan yahay.

Mid ka mid ah astaamaha ugu xiisaha badan ee K830 waa iftiinka dambe ee furayaasha. Ka dib oo dhan, kani waa kiiboodhka loogu talagalay in lagu isticmaalo xarun warbaahin oo badanaa waa in lagu shaqeeyo gudcurka (ma daawato filimada naxdinta leh ee iftiinka leh). Iftiinka dhabarka wuxuu bixiyaa laba heer oo xoogga iftiinka waxaana xakameynaya dareemayaasha iftiinka ambient. Logitech sidoo kale waxay bixisaa fure (F1) si gacanta loogu hagaajiyo iftiinka dambe. Waxaan runtii jecelnahay habkan hal-fure ee kor u qaadista iyo hoos u dhigista iftiinka. Marka uu kiiboodhka batarigu ku yar yahay, nalka dambe si toos ah ayuu u dami doonaa, marka si joogto ah loo isticmaalo, waxa uu ku lumaya 5 ilbiriqsi gudahood ka dib markaad joojiso isticmaalkiisa.

Xoogga iftiinka dambe wuxuu ka dhigayaa kiiboodhka mid u fiican qolalka mugdiga iyo iftiinka dhexe. Weli, in kasta oo dareemaha iftiinka uu si fiican uga shaqeeyo aagagga mugdiga iyo mugdiga ah, waxaan ogaanay in ay aad uga yar tahay meelaha iftiinka leh. Inkasta oo qolka aanu ku dhex jirnay uu lahaa iftiin ku filan, haddana shidmahu mararka qaarkood waxa uu kiciyaa iftiinka dambe ee xoogga yar waana in gacanta lagu saxo. Logitech sidoo kale way dayacday inay na siiso ikhtiyaar aan ku hayno iftiinka dambe ee shid ama damin si aan xad lahayn. Isku soo wada duuboo, kuwani waa arrimo yaryar sababtoo ah kumbuyuutarka ayaa aad waxtar u leh marka mugdiga lagu isticmaalo.

U soo noqoshada isku darka kiiboodhka/taabashada taabashada, waa in aan nidhaahnaa waa qaab nashqad taasoo macno fiican samaynaysa. Waxay gabi ahaanba meesha ka saaraysaa baahida loo qabo jiir gaar ah ama taabasho taabasho ah, xataa kuwa idinka mid ah oo qorshaynaya inaad ku isticmaasho safarka. In kasta oo nashqadan dhinac-dhinac ah laga yaabo inay qaadato xoogaa la qabsiga, waqti ka dib waxay noqon doontaa dabeecad labaad; Waxay la mid tahay fikradda ka dambeysa taabashada laptop-ka, farqiga kaliya ayaa ah inuu dhinac fadhiyo halkii uu ka horreeyo kiiboodhka. Xagga taabashada lafteeda, way siman tahay oo si fiican bay u jawaabaysaa. Ma aanan dareemin wax dib u dhac ah oo u dhexeeya dhaqdhaqaaqa farahayada ee taabashada taabashada iyo kuwa calaamada shaashadda. Marka, taabashada taabashada si fiican loo siman yahay (3.1 x 2 inji) waxay ku siinaysaa dareen wacan oo sahlaya socodka.

Haddii aad tahay mid ka mid ah isticmaalayaasha PC-to-TV ee u baahan inay ku xidhnaadaan dhammaan aaladahaaga agagaarka guriga markaa Logitech K830 Keyboard-ka qolka fadhiga^{(Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard)} waa waxa aad u baahan tahay. Inkasta oo kiiboodhka aanu aad dhumuc weyn lahayn, haddana si badbaado leh ayuu dhabtaada/jilbahaaga ugu fadhiisan doonaa oo si fiican ayaad gacanta ugu haysaa.

Xiriirinta Iyo Software-ka

K830- ka , Logitech waxa ay keentaa qaataha Midaynta RF^{(Unifying RF receiver)} kaas oo ay tahay in lagu xidho deked bilaash ah kombayutarkaaga ama qalabka warbaahinta qolka fadhiga . Waxa ugu weyn ee arrintan ku saabsan ayaa ah in hal-qaade keliya uu isku xidhi karo ilaa lix aaladaha Wireless Logitech markiiba. ^(Logitech)Dongle- kan yar ee USB waxa uu bixiyaa isku xidhka bilaa-waayirka ah ee 2.4GHz (ma aha Bluetooth ) iyo dhagax adag oo dhererkiisu yahay 33 cagood (10 m). Ogsoonow haddii aad ku xidho fiilada USB-ga^(USB) ee ku dallacaadda kiiboodhka PC, looma aqoonsan doono qalab wax gelin ah; kaliya raadiyaha dongle ayaa kuu ogolaanaya inaad isticmaasho kiiboodhka. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, K830 waa la isticmaali karaa inta lagu jiro dallacaadda. Sidoo kale, USB-ga^(USB)fiilo kordhintu waxa ay kaa caawin kartaa qaataha midaynta^(Unifying) marka dekeda USB ay qarsoon tahay oo aad rabto in aad dhigto soo dhawaynta meel ka sii qaawan iyo soo dhawaynta signal ka fiican. Soo -dhoweeyaha Midaynta Logitech^{(Logitech Unifying)} waa muuqaal weyn oo bixiya isku-xir adag oo ay fududahay in la isticmaalo.

FIIRO GAAR AH:^(NOTE:) Waxaad ku dari kartaa aalado badan oo Logitech ah hal aqbale kaliya^(only) oo ku jira aaladaha ku shaqeeya WINDOWS.

Soo-qaaduhu wuxuu isla markiiba ku xidhan yahay Windows 7 iyo Windows 8.1 . Laakiin, si aad si buuxda u isticmaasho kumbuyuutarka, waa inaad soo dejiso oo aad ku rakibtaa software lagama maarmaanka u ah websaydhka taageerada Logitech , halkan^(here) . Labada barnaamij, Logitech Unifying Software iyo Logitech Software Options , ayaa kaa caawin doona inaad qaadato amarka qaataha oo aad gasho dhammaan sifooyinka kumbuyuutarka. Ugu horreyntii^(First) , geeska hoose ee midig ee daaqada Logitech Software Options , waxaad arki doontaa sawirka garaafyada xaaladda batteriga. Kadibna tabka koowaad, Keyboard -ka^(Keyboard), hoos sawirka kiiboodhka laftiisa waxaad ka heli doontaa sanduuq yar oo hubinaya kaas oo kuu ogolaanaya inaad u kala beddesho shaqada caadiga ah ee furayaasha F iyo hawlaha warbaahinta.

Labada tab ee soo socda ee barnaamijku waxay kuu oggolaanayaan inaad habayn ku sameyso qaar ka mid ah astaamaha taabashada, sida hagaajinta dareenkiisa ama maaraynta dhaqdhaqaaqyada taabashada. Waa inaan sheegnaa in taabashada taabashada ay si aad u wanaagsan ula shaqeyso Windows 8.1 , halkaas oo ay kuu ogolaaneyso inaad isticmaasho dhammaan dhaqdhaqaaqyada ku-dhufashada ee laga heli karo nidaamkan gaarka ah. Navigation waa mid aad u fudud iyada oo ay ugu wacan tahay amarro dhaqdhaqaaqyo fudud oo taxane ah oo lagu daray Logitech : ku dhufo dusha sare hal far si aad bidix u riixdo ama laba farood oo midigta guji, laba farood kor / hoos ama bidix / midig si aad u rogto ama qanjaruufto in la soo dhaweeyo ama la saaro.

Mawduuca dhaqdhaqaaqyada, tab ugu dambeeya ee barnaamijka wehel Logitech ayaa ka dhigaya K830 runtii la beddeli karo. Waxay kuu ogolaanaysaa inaad beddesho ama aad gabto habdhaqanka amarada dhaq-dhaqaaqa horumarsan. Waxaan ogaanay in Windows 8.1 , tusaale ahaan, ku dhufo si toos ah hal far ka soo cidhifka midigta waxay si toos ah u dhaqaajin doontaa Charms ama samaynta fal isku mid ah laakiin dhinaca bidix waxay kuu ogolaaneysaa inaad ku dhex wareegto codsiyadaada furan.

Helitaanka amarradan tilmaanta waxay ku xiran tahay nidaamka hawlgalka ee aad isticmaalayso, in kasta oo ay u muuqato in ciyaarta ugu fiican ee K830 ay tahay Windows 8.1 . Dhibaatada kaliya ee aan ogaanay markii aan ku isticmaaleyno nidaamka hawlgalka Windows waa in dhaqdhaqaaqyadu aysan had iyo jeer u jawaabin sidii ay ahayd. Waxay ahayd inaan dib u hagaajino faraheena waqti ka waqti marka aan duubaneyno sababtoo ah taabashada mar walba ma aqoonsan dhaqdhaqaaqyada aan sameynay. Laakiin mar labaad, tani waa dhibaato yar oo kama saarayso ku habboonaanta in taabasho taabasho ah lagu dhex dhiso kumbuyuutarka.

Ka guurista nidaamyada hawlgalka Microsoft , waa inaan dhahnaa, haddii aad leedahay Mac , kiiboodhkani wuxuu isla markiiba ku xidhi doonaa iyada oo la kaashanayo qaataha midaynta Logitech^{(Logitech Unifying)} . Waxay la wareegi doontaa hawlaha gelinta oo waxaad awoodi doontaa inaad isticmaasho hawlaha aasaasiga ah ee kiiboodhka iyo taabashada. Dhibaatada ugu horeysa waxay u muuqataa markaad rabto inaad isticmaasho fursadaha multitouch ee nidaamka hawlgalka Mac , sababtoo ah ^(Mac)K830 ma taageerto. Waxa kaliya oo aad ku hagaajin kartaa habdhaqanka guud ee taabashada (dib u dhaca iyo xawaaraha) iyada oo loo marayo Dookhyada Nidaamka-Ikhtiyaarada Helitaanka^{(System Preferences-Accessibility Options)}. Markaa, waxaad u malaynaysaa inaad tan ku xallin karto adigoo rakibaya barnaamijka wehel Logitech, laakiin, la yaab, software-ka ay bixiyaan kuma shaqeeyo Mac -gaaga . Markaa kiiboodhka wuxuu ku shaqayn doonaa Mac , laakiin ma awoodid inaad isticmaasho amarrada dhaq-dhaqaaqa sare ee taabashada taabashada.

Sidoo kale, sida loogu suuqgeeyay sidii kiiboodhka qolka fadhiga, sidaas darteed waa inay sidoo kale la shaqeyso Smart TV-gaaga. Waa inaad awood u yeelatid inaad ku xidhidhiyaha TV-ga adigo ku xidhidhiyaha Logitech^(Logitech) 's Midaynta deked USB furan oo leh u hogaansanaanta USB HID . Taageerada dheeraadka ah, in kastoo, ay ku xiran tahay barnaamij kasta oo shakhsi ah oo ka yimid deegaanka Smart TV-ga waxaana suurtagal ah in mararka qaarkood taabashadu aanu shaqayn. Waxaa intaa dheer, hawlaha gaarka ah ee K830 waxay ku xiran yihiin Smart TV-ga uu leeyahay isticmaaluhu, Logitech -na waxay kula talisaa dhammaan iibsadayaasha mustaqbalka inay la tashadaan buug-gacmeedka TV-ga si ay u helaan macluumaadka ku saabsan iswaafajinta.

Xukun

Warqada, Logitech K830 kiiboodhka qolka fadhiga ee iftiimay wuxuu^{(Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard)} u muuqdaa mid cajiib ah. Marka la furo, wali way soo jiidanaysaa. Naqshadayntu waa mid lagu farxo, agabkuna indhaha ayay u soo jiidanayaan, waxaanan u mahadcelineynaa taabashada taabashada iyo badhamada deeqsinimada leh, dusha sare ee la jiido iyo iftiinka guud ee kumbuyuutarka. Laakiin, ugu dhakhsaha badan, waxaan u nimid inaan ka qoomameyno soo jiidashada aan caadiga ahayn ee faraha iyo xaqiiqda ah inaad si joogto ah u nadiifiso. Hubaal waxay kaa caawin doontaa inaad gacanta ku dhigto qalabka qolkaaga fadhiga laakiin, sidaan u nimid inaan fahanno, waa kiiboodhka si weyn ugu shaqayn doona Windows 7 ama Windows 8.1. Kaliya MicrosoftNidaamyada hawlgalka waxaad awoodi doontaa inaad ku xidhid qalabyo badan oo isku mid ah qaataha mideeya oo aad geliso dhammaan amarrada dhaqdhaqaaqa weyn ee loo heli karo taabashada taabashada. Xariiqda ugu hooseysa ayaa ah in isku darka K830 kiiboodhka/taabashada taabashada loogu talagalay in lagu isticmaalo Windows PC-ga oo ku xiran mashruuc-sharaxeedka/shashada TV-ga ama PC Theatre Home (HTPC) ^{(Home Theater PC (HTPC))}ku^(Windows) salaysan . Logitech K830 wuxuu la shaqayn doonaa Mac , laakiin kaliya sida kiiboodhka ku socda oo bixin doona hawlaha aasaasiga ah ee qorista iyo taabashada taabashada ah oo aan taageerin talooyinka taabasho badan. Sidoo kale, waxaad ku isticmaali kartaa kiiboodhkan SmartTV-yada, laakiin hawlihiisa horumarsan waxay ku xidhan yihiin TV-ga laftiisa iyo abka aad rakibtay. Nasiib darro, wax-soo-saarayaashu had iyo jeer kuma heshiiyaan heerarka iyo u hoggaansanaanta, marmarka qaarkoodna waxay u muuqataa in habka kaliya ee loo maro ay tahay habka iibsashada-iyo-isku day-u-habboon. Haddii aad rabto kiiboodhka wakhtiga buuxa ee wax ku qorida badan, waa inaad sii eegtaa, laakiin haddii aad rabto in wehel qolka fadhiga lagu isticmaalo mugdiga, kani waa kiiboodhka adiga. Sababtoo ah naqshadeeda khafiifka ah, furayaasha iftiinka iyo hawlaha warbaahinta, Logitech K830 waxay u tahay iibsi fiican kuwa idinka mid ah oo si joogta ah u isticmaala qolkooda fadhiga (iyo xitaa qolka jiifka) xarunta warbaahinta.

Reviewing The Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard

Our living rooms are starting to fill uр with quite a few different types of electronіcs, either a smart TV, an HΤPC (Home Theatre PC), a game console or a PC connected to a big screen. But the frustrаting thing about all of them is when yoυ want to search for сontent and you have to type or use a pointer, worѕt of all in the dark. Of course, the go-to solυtion to esсape the frustration of this еxperiencе is to usе a light wireless keyboard and, better yet, one that has backlit keys and a built-in touchpad. From this complicated world of kеyboards, we recеivеd the Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard and we set out to test it on different types of devices. Read on, as we review this living room friendly keyboard and see if it will let us enjoy the comfort of our couch:

Unboxing The Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard

It comes in a typical Logitech packaging, with a glossy box that has the image of the keyboard in its designated environment on the front. This area also shows the full name and the fact that it has a US english layout. Logitech also added, in multiple languages, that this product is the best
way to control your Smart TV, even in the dark.

The backside shows a quite beautiful zoomed-in image of the keyboard on the same glossy paper. Also, here, in multiple languages, Logitech informs us about the contents of the box and gives us a small list of important technical specifications (both in text and graphic representations).

The cover comes off quite easily and inside you will find the keyboard sitting on top of a cardboard tray without any kind of plastic wrapping. A choice that makes sense as this is more environmentally conscious way of delivering devices.

After removing the keyboard from the box you will see that the cardboard tray has a lot of small compartments which contain all the featured accessories. This well organized way of shipping is something we would like to see from other manufacturers.

Inside, together with your K830 keyboard, you will find the following: the very small Logitech USB unifying receiver, a micro-USB charging cable, a USB extension cable, an instruction manual in multiple languages and Logitech's Important Information (Safety, Compliance and Warranty) leaflet.

Hardware Specifications

The idea behind the Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard is quite simple: to provide an all-in-one wireless keyboard with backlit keys and an integrated multi-touchpad for cursor control. Still, this is not your typical desk keyboard because it is meant to be used in more casual situations, like sitting on a couch or bed. Logitech states, as we have seen above, that K830 will offer "Effortless PC to TV navigation, even in the dark". An interesting description, but not as accurate as you might think, because it does not cover all the uses this compact keyboard/touchpad mix can offer. We will come back to this perspective further down in the review.

Rectangular with rounded side edges, the K830 surprises with an executive style look that combines the dark appearance of the two sides with a reflective silver piece on both the bottom and the top of its frame. The keyboard features a standard QWERTY layout with Chiclet style keys. Logitech also included 19 multimedia keys that provide a lot of extra functions.

Logitech has removed the dedicated number pad and in its place we get a fully functioning touchpad, complete with left and right mouse buttons. Furthermore, above the touchpad we can see three audio control keys: mute, volume increase and volume decrease.

Also, in this right side of the keyboard you will find a small round light sensor that, based on the ambient light of the room, will either dim or brighten the backlight of the keys. Next to it, in the top right corner, you will find a battery indicator light. It will light up each time you power on the keyboard or wake it up from sleep mode. Also, this LED indicator will let you know when it is time to charge the battery, by a blinking red light.

On the top part of the frame we find three important features that need to be pointed out. From left to right we first see a left mouse click button, a micro-USB port and the on-off switch.

The backside of the keyboard is, well, plain. The flat back only offers four well placed rubber feet and another small one made of hard plastic in the lower area of the center.

The keyboard features an embedded Lithium-Ion battery that can be charged with the help of the micro-USB port. Logitech states that it has an autonomy of 10 days on a full charge. You should, supposedly, reach this mark while using it for 2 or 3 hours a day with the backlight on.
Its handheld-friendly design measures only 14.4 inches (36.7 cm) in length by 4.9 inches (12.53 cm) in height by 0.65 inches (1.65 cm) in depth. The lightweight, all-plastic, construction weighs 17.5 oz (495 grams).

The full set of specifications of this keyboard can be found here: Logitech K830 Keyboard.

Using The Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard

In terms of design, the aluminum finish of the edges is an interesting element that seems to clash with the soft-touch coating present on the rest of the keyboard. This dark coating is extremely sensitive to fingerprints and scratches. You might have seen some fingerprints in one of the pictures above. This seems really bad for a keyboard that finds its place in your living room where, one imagines, it will be used by hands previously immersed in a bowl of chips. Its plastic shell twists and, when placed on a flat surface, it is not always stable, despite its non-slip rubber feet. Still, these are the typical downsides of having a light, all-plastic construction that is narrow enough for you to grab it with one hand.

Let us turn our attention to the actual heart of K830, namely the keys. Their general size was large enough for us to type fairly fast and the flat top surface offered a good support. Even though we think that the keys are too closely spaced, this is the only way manufacturers are able to keep down the overall size of the keyboards. The keys offer a soft and fairly long travel which is ok for casual use but it will not help you in writing long dissertations. We really liked the fact that they do not make a lot of noise.

To clearly demonstrate its abilities in controlling your living room media center and/or PC, the manufacturer added a series of media shortcuts. There are two different types: one-touch function keys (F1-F12) and those that require you to first press on the Fn key (ins, del, backspace, caps lock, Page up, Page down, home, end). Taking the time to learn what each of them does will greatly improve your multimedia experience; all of them are explained in the instructions manual. Some of you may not like the fact that the standard PC functions of the F keys can be accessed only by using an Fn combination. Still, from a living room point of view, the media control works really well and is a plus for this keyboard.

We also want to discuss two of the features that appear on the top edge. The placement of a left mouse button in this area is well suited for the living room environment. If you want to comfortably operate your keyboard while holding it with both hands, this extra button will allow you to use the touchpad with your right hand while you click on things with your left hand. Also, the color coded on/off switch seems a little difficult to operate at first. But, for an easier identification, we can tell you that green means that it is on while orange means it is off.

One of the most interesting features of the K830 is the backlighting of the keys. After all, this is a keyboard designed to be used with a media center and will often have to be operated in the dark (you cannot watch horror movies with the light on). The backlighting offers two levels of light intensity and it is controlled by the ambient light sensor. Logitech also offers a key (F1) to manually adjust the backlight. We really liked this single-key approach for raising and lowering brightness. When the keyboard is low on battery, the backlight is automatically switched off and, in regular use, it fades away within 5 seconds after you stop using it.

The intensity of the backlight makes the keyboard great for dark to mid-lit rooms. Still, even though the light sensor works well in dark and dim areas, we found it to be less effective in brighter environments. Despite the fact that the room we were using it in had enough light, the sensor sometimes activates the low intensity backlight and has to be corrected manually. Logitech also neglected to offer us an option of keeping the backlight on or off indefinitely. All in all, these are minor issues because the keyboard is very effective when used in the dark.

Coming back to the keyboard/touchpad combination, we must say that it is a design feature which makes perfect sense. It completely removes the need for a separate mouse or touchpad, even for those of you who plan on using it on the go. Even though this side-by-side design may take some getting used to, in time it will become second nature; it is similar to the idea behind laptop touchpads, only difference being that it sits to the side rather in front of the keyboard. As for the touchpad itself, it is smooth and quite responsive. We didn't notice any delay between the movement of our fingers on the touchpad and those of the onscreen cursor. So, the well proportioned touchpad (3.1 by 2 inches) offers a pleasant feel that makes navigation easy.

If you are one of the PC-to-TV users who need to remain tethered to all of your devices from around the house then Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard is exactly what you need. Even though the keyboard is not very thick, it will safely sit on your lap/knees and you will have it well in hand.

Connection And Software

For the K830, Logitech delivers its Unifying RF receiver that should be connected to a free port on your computer or living room media electronics. The great thing about it is that a single receiver can pair up to six Logitech wireless devices at a time. This small USB dongle offers a 2.4GHz wireless connectivity (not Bluetooth) and a rock solid range of 33 feet (10 m). Note that if you connect the USB cable for charging the keyboard to a PC, it will not be recognized as an input device; only the radio dongle allows you to use the keyboard. In any case, the K830 can be used during charging. Also, the USB extension cable can help you with the Unifying receiver when the USB port is hidden and you want to place the receiver somewhere more exposed and with a better signal reception. The Logitech Unifying receiver is a great feature that offers a solid connection and it is easy to use.

NOTE: You can add multiple Logitech devices to a single receiver only in WINDOWS powered devices.

The receiver instantly connected to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. But, to fully make use the keyboard, you have to download and install the necessary software from Logitech support website, here. The two programs, Logitech Unifying Software and Logitech Software Options, will help you take command of the receiver and access all the features of the keyboard. First of all, in the lower right corner of the Logitech Software Options window, you will see a graphical representation of the battery state. Then in the first tab, Keyboard, under the image of the keyboard itself you will find a small checkbox which will allow you to toggle between the standard function of the F keys and the media functions.

The next two tabs of the program will allow you to customize some features of the touchpad, such as adjusting its sensitivity or managing touch gestures. We have to say that the touchpad works very well with Windows 8.1, where it will allow you to use all the swipe gestures available in this particular operating system. Navigation is very easy thanks to a series of simple gestures commands that have been integrated by Logitech: tap the surface with one finger for left click or with two fingers for right click, drag two fingers up/down or left/right to scroll or pinch to zoom in or out.

On the subject of gestures, the last tab of Logitech's companion program makes the K830 really customizable. It allows you to change or disable the behavior of the more advanced gesture commands. We found that in Windows 8.1, for example, swiping horizontally with one finger from the right edge will automatically activate the Charms or that doing the same action but from the left side will allow you to toggle through your opened applications.

The availability of these gesture commands depends on the operating system that you are using, though it seems that the best match for the K830 is Windows 8.1. The only problem we noticed when using it with a Windows operating system is that the gestures are not always as responsive as they should be. We had to readjust our fingers for time to time when we were scrolling because the touchpad didn't always recognize the movements we made. But again, this is a small problem and it does not take away from the convenience of having a touchpad built in the keyboard.

Moving away from Microsoft's operating systems, we must say that, if you own a Mac, this keyboard will connect to it immediately with the help of the Logitech Unifying receiver. It will take over the input functions and you will be able to use the basic functions of the keyboard and touchpad. The first problem appears when you want to use the multitouch options of the Mac operating system, because the K830 does not support them. You can only adjust the general behavior of the touchpad (delay and speed) through System Preferences-Accessibility Options. Then, you would think you could solve this by installing a Logitech companion program, but, surprise, the software they offer does not work on your Mac. So the keyboard will work on a Mac, but you will not be able to use the advanced gesture commands of the touchpad.

Also, as it is marketed as a living room keyboard, so it should also work with your Smart TV. You should be able to connect to the TV by plugging Logitech's Unifying receiver into an open USB port that has USB HID compliance. Further support, though, depends on each individual app from the Smart TV's environment and it is possible that sometimes the touchpad might not work. Moreover, particular functions of the K830 depend on the Smart TV owned by the user, and Logitech advises all future buyers to consult their TV's manual for information about compatibility.

Verdict

On paper, the Logitech K830 Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard seems awesome. Once unwrapped, it still impresses. The design is pleasant, the materials are flattering to the eye, and we appreciate the touchpad and its generous buttons, the swiping surface and the general lightness of the keyboard. But, very soon, we came to regret its unnatural attraction to fingerprints and the fact that you have to constantly clean it. It will surely help you take control of your living room devices but, as we came to understand, it is a keyboard that will work great with Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Only on Microsoft's operating systems will you be able to connect multiple devices on the same unifying receiver and access all those great gesture commands available for the touchpad. The bottom line is that the K830 keyboard/touchpad combination was designed to be used with either a Windows PC connected to a projector/TV screen or a Windows based Home Theater PC (HTPC). The Logitech K830 will work with a Mac, but only as a on-the-go keyboard that will offer basic typing functions and a touchpad that does not support multi-touch input. Also, you can use this keyboard on Smart TV's, but its advanced functions depend on the TV itself and the apps you installed. Unfortunately, manufacturers don't always agree on standards and compliances, and sometimes it seems that the only way to go is the buy-it-and-try-it approach. If you want a full-time keyboard for extensive typing, you should probably keep looking, but if you want a living room companion to be used in the dark, this is the keyboard for you. Because of its lightweight design, illuminated keys and media functions, the Logitech K830 is a good buy for those of you that constantly use their living room (and even bedroom) media center.
