The Logitech K800 is a decent wireless keyboard. It has scissor switches that offer good tactile feedback and also has white backlighting if you need to work late at night. The board feels a bit flimsy and the keycaps are prone to shine, but overall, people looking for a decent work keyboard should be satisfied.

Our Verdict

0.0
Gaming 

The K800 is an okay gaming keyboard, although it isn't recommended for this use. It has a very high force needed to actuate a key and the board feels rather cheap. Also, you can't program keys and the software offers limited customization.

Pros
  • Decent ergonomics.
  • White backlighting.
  • Very quiet keyboard.
Cons
  • Board has a lot of flex.
  • Keycaps feel cheap and prone to shine.

  • Very quiet keyboard.
Cons
  • Board has a lot of flex.
  • Keycaps feel cheap and prone to shine.
0.0
Office 

The Logitech K800 is a decent office keyboard. Its ergonomics are decent, although some might be bothered by its fixed wrist rest. It offers a just okay typing quality, but the wireless connection is great and helps to reduce the clutter on your desk.

Pros
  • Decent ergonomics.
  • White backlighting.
  • Very quiet keyboard.
Cons
  • Board has a lot of flex.
  • Keycaps feel cheap and prone to shine.
0.0
Programming

Pros
  • Decent ergonomics.
  • White backlighting.
  • Very quiet keyboard.
Cons
  • Board has a lot of flex.
  • Keycaps feel cheap and prone to shine.

    Popular Keyboard Comparisons

    The Logitech K800 is a decent wireless keyboard, but its board design is cheaply made and its keystrokes require a lot of force to get over the pre-actuation bump. It has scissor switches, which are fine for typing, but if you prefer mechanical switches, check our recommendations for the best mechanical keyboards. You may also want to see our recommendations for the best wireless keyboards and the best cheap keyboards.

    Logitech Signature K650

    Track

    The Logitech K800 and the Logitech Signature K650 are two very similar budget wireless keyboards. However, the K800 only works with a USB receiver, while K650 uses a USB receiver and Bluetooth for connectivity. Otherwise, they offer a similar cheap-feeling build quality and fairly unsatisfying typing experience.

    Logitech K780

    Track

    The Logitech K780 is a better overall wireless keyboard than the Logitech K800. It's fully compatible with macOS and offers a better typing quality than the K800. Some people might not like the circular keys of the K780, though, and might prefer the more typical design of the K800's keys. The K780 is also Bluetooth-enabled and can connect to three devices simultaneously and features a small cradle for your mobile devices as well.

    Logitech MX Keys

    Track

    The Logitech MX Keys is a better wireless keyboard than the Logitech K800. It's better-built, can be used over Bluetooth with three devices simultaneously, offers better backlighting, and has a noticeably better typing quality. If your budget allows it, the MX Keys is better in almost every category.

    AmazonBasics K4R

    Track

    The Logitech K800 and the AmazonBasics K4R are fairly different affordable keyboards. The AmazonBasics has an integrated touchpad and features rubber dome switches that feel a bit mushy. On the other side, the Logitech has backlighting, scissor switches, a fixed wrist rest, and a Numpad. The Logitech is rechargeable while the AmazonBasics uses disposable batteries.
