Thanks for a good, easily digestable review. The recent five-way round up left me slightly confused (especially due to comparing some very similar products with generic names), but this format is easily read and understood.
Also, I'm hoping there is a similar review in the works for the Logitech K830 Illuminated Living Room keyboard, as it seems nearly ideal for this kind of usage (although it is slightly large). Also, I'd be interested in seeing the Lenovo Compact Bluetooth keyboard with TrackPoint (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/0B47189/4... reviewed in a similar way. I'm currently using the non-bluetooth verison for my desktop computer, and it's by far the best compact keyboard for typing that I've used, and the addition of the trackpoint is brilliant (even though it requires downloading and installing drivers from Lenovo's site for the trackpoint to work). The only thing I feel it lacks is backlighting, but it's still a brilliant keyboard.
There are quite a large number of Windows 8 tablets that do support bluetooth keyboards though, and since they are pushing the 'replace your laptop' part of the tablet market at the moment it does rather make sense.
It's kinda funny how ridiculously hostile you are to Microsoft for no obvious reason. Turns out that what they were thinking of was different to what you were thinking of! How pathetic of them for not being exactly you!
That dial to the left and those rounded keys make this look like a toy. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing, because it looks pretty easy to use for the people who are tech illiterate.

Enjoyed this review. Would be interested to see a review of the Microsoft Universal Mobile Keyboard (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/universa... which I'm trying to choose between.Gunbuster - Wednesday, October 29, 2014 - link
It's a little pathetic that Microsoft now makes a Bluetooth keyboard for mobile devices, yet Windows Phone does not support Bluetooth keyboards...LostAlone - Wednesday, October 29, 2014 - link

Bluetooth keyboard support in Windows Phone should be a no brainer though. It does seem relatively shortsighted.meacupla - Wednesday, October 29, 2014 - link
