The keyboard is smaller than standard size so expect to make a lot of typos until you retrain your fingers. The other drawback for serious use is the reduced size. The keys have decent travel, but not a good feel. If you are considering using this for composition or coding, look elsewhere. This unit is very lightweight and flexes. That said, he older Logitech keyboards I have uses were much better quality. This is an excellent AV/Home Theater keyboard because of its range. In summary, it's not perfect, but it's easier to use from an armchair than a regular wireless full-sized keyboard and separate mouse. This model is not fully supported by Solaar, a Linux device manager for Logitech’s Unifying Receiver peripherals. There's no PDF manual, and the rather scanty documentation is a webpage on Logitech's site. However, once programmed, the keyboard remembers its settings while turned off, and stays programmed when moved to a Linux system. Logitech's behavior modification utility is Windows-only, and its EULA says the user permits Logitech to probe to see what other software is installed on the computer. PageUp and PageDown also require the help of Fn. The F1-F12 keys require the Fn "shift" key pressed to operate as function keys, which makes key combos like Ctrl-Alt-F1 for a Linux terminal window difficult. What's annoying? I could not find a center-click mouse function. There is a second, yellow left-mouse button for your left hand in the upper left corner, very useful for click-and-drag, but also easy to hit by accident when you are trying to press Esc. What's nice? Solidly built but lightweight, nice compact size, full-sized keys, and the mousepad two-finger vertical and horizontal scroll work really well. We are using this with a Linux home theater system.
