Anyone tried this one? Same form factor, backlit, touch that doubles as a virtual num pad which in theory I like, but in practice though most touchpads sucks, and it looks like they use the "leaky light" method with light being spewd willy nilly instead of out the letters only..

That's actually really awesome for $32, especially if it really is bluetooth and comes with a bluetooth 4.0 dongle like the page claims.

Looks like it also has a $27 model if you don't need blueooth: http://www.amazon.com/iPazzPort-illumina...B00MO4UDGG

It's still wireless, but this one comes with a specific 2.4 ghz USB dongle. For some people, that is even desired, as it is a little more plug and play, since there is no pairing.

I am always on the lookout for a new keyboard. I have 2 Logitech diNovos. I hate how they charge and I hate how they are just off enough to inhibit fast typing for me and my wife. However, their range is incredible. You don't have to be in the same room, or in the next room, you can be on the other end of the house and still type. I use them for both computers attached to big screen TVs.

What really blows me away is that someone on Amazon is trying to sell these things for $500. I always forget the name so I looked it up where I purchased them. Granted they were north of $100 when I bought them but how can they be worth $500 now? I could sell mine used and make a profit.

I had a mini-dinovo I got cheap off ebay, and it was back on ebay 2 days after I got it. Only 3 customizable buttons in setpoint, no adjustment for backlight brightness/timeout and keys with a stylish font that blended in so well I couldn't read it, it wasn't all bad though when I dumped it on ebay I doubled my money ;-)

I have a K400r and feel that the touchpad is pretty useless. Thinking about getting this MS.
For those who have/had both, is the touchpad better on the MS?

The problem with touchpads is they treat them just like a mouse, when they really need their own category with specialized drivers. You need to be able to adjust click sensitivity, "drag" needs sensitivity on/off options, you need middle click, scroll and tilt wheel simulation and they all need keyboard modifiers like shift/drag to multi-select. And you need at least 4 additional "button" touch points to fire off macros, Add all that and you might have a usable touchpad..
