Using your keyboard

Keyboard backlighting
When you start using your keyboard, the automatic light sensor detects the light level in the room and adjusts the keyboard backlight intensity accordingly. There are three intensity levels:

In bright light: no keyboard illumination.
In poor light: full intensity backlight.
In the dark: half intensity backlight.

You can manually override the automatic backlighting setting. Press the key to cycle between the three intensity levels.

Please note:

When your battery charge level is low, backlighting turns off automatically to conserve battery power.
Automatic backlight control is restored automatically if the keyboard is idle for 30 minutes or more, or after turning the keyboard off and back on.

Touchpad gestures

Recharging your keyboard

Your keyboard is rechargeable. There are no batteries to be replaced.
A three-hour charge provides up to 10 days of use when you type about two hours a day with backlight on, or about one year without backlight.
Note: The use you get between charges may vary depending on your usage pattern.
When you turn on the keyboard the battery indicator shows the charge level.

The Logitech® Unifying receiver

Plug it. Forget it. Add to it.
Your new Logitech product ships with a Unifying receiver. Did you know you can add a compatible Logitech wireless device that uses the same receiver as your current Logitech Unifying product?

Are you Unifying-ready?
If you have a Logitech wireless device that’s Unifying-ready, you can pair it with additional Unifying devices. Just look for the orange Unifying logo on the new device or its packaging. Build your ideal combo. Add something. Replace something.

It’s easy, and you’ll use only one USB port for up to six devices.

Getting started is easy

If you’re ready to pair your device(s) via Unifying, here’s what you need to do:

Make sure your Unifying receiver is plugged in.
If you haven’t already, download and install the Logitech software for your keyboard (see “Software for your keyboard”).
Start the software and follow the on-screen instructions to pair the new wireless device with your existing Unifying receiver.

K830 keyboard not working or frequently stops working****

– Keyboard isn’t working
– Keyboard frequently loses connection

Keyboard isn’t working****

When your keyboard isn’t working, the problem is likely a lost connection. The connection between the keyboard and the Unifying receiver can be lost for several reasons, such as:

– Low battery levels
– Moving the receiver from one USB port to another
– Moving the receiver to another computer
– Plugging the receiver into a USB hub, KVM switch or other unsupported device. (NOTE: Your Unifying receiver must be plugged directly into your computer.)
– Using your wireless keyboard on metal surfaces
– Radio frequency (RF) interference from other wireless devices, such as:

– Wireless speakers
– Computer power supplies
– Monitors
– Cell phones
– Garage door openers

Before connecting your keyboard:
– Fix or rule out the potential problems listed above.
– Make sure your keyboard is turned on and the battery level is good. See answer 360023260034 for instructions.
– Make sure the receiver is securely plugged directly into a working USB port on your computer.
– Turn your computer on.

Reconnecting your keyboard
1. Download and install the correct version of Logitech SetPoint Mouse and Keyboard Software from the K830 Downloads page.
2. Launch the Logitech Unifying Software:
Windows 7: Start > Programs > Logitech > Unifying > Logitech Unifying Software
3. Windows 8: Start Screen > Logitech Unifying Software
4. Click Next at the bottom of the Welcome screen.
Follow the on-screen instructions to turn your keyboard off and then back on.

5. When your keyboard is detected, you’ll see this window:

6. If you can type in the testing box, select Yes and then click Next. Otherwise, repeat from step #4.
7. Click Finish to exit the Logitech Unifying Software. Your keyboard should now be connected.

Keyboard frequently stops working****

If your keyboard frequently stops working and you keep having to reconnect it with the Unifying receiver, try these suggestions:
– Keep other electrical devices at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from the keyboard and host device
– Move the keyboard closer to the computer or tablet
– Try the receiver in a different USB port on your computer

Use a different USB receiver with my Unifying product****

You can use any Unifying receiver to connect up to six Unifying devices.

Look for this Unifying logo on both your product and the receiver:

Each time you switch a device to a different receiver, you need to reconnect it using the Logitech Unifying software. See answer 23116 for instructions.
NOTE:
Although a device may be supported by the Unifying receiver, Logitech Keyboard and Mouse software support will depend on the specific product.

K830 keyboard battery life and replacement****

Keyboard battery information
– Rechargeable battery, estimated 3 hours to full charge
– Expected battery life is up to 10 days depending on backlight settings
Your keyboard has a standby mode to conserve power when not in use.
NOTE: The keyboard batteries aren’t user-replaceable.

Supported operating systems for the Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard K830****

At the time of release, this product is supported on:
– Windows 8 / 8.1
– Windows 7
See this product’s Downloads page for the latest software support.

Recharge the K830 keyboard****

Your keyboard is rechargeable. There are no batteries to be replaced.
A three-hour charge provides up to 10 days of use when you type about two hours a day with the backlight on, or about one year without the backlight.
NOTE: The use you get between charges may vary depending on your usage pattern.
When you turn on the keyboard, the battery indicator:

– Blinks green when the battery is charging
– Glows green when the battery is charged
– Blinks red to indicate that battery power is low and the keyboard should be recharged

To charge your keyboard’s battery:
– Connect the keyboard to a computer using the Micro‑USB charging cable.

The battery indicator blinks green while it’s charging. Charge the keyboard until the indicator light stops blinking. You can use the keyboard while it charges.

NOTE: If the battery power is low (indicator blinking red), the keyboard backlight is disabled.

Operating distance between the mouse or keyboard and USB receiver****

In an ideal environment, a Unifying or non-Unifying device can operate up to 30 feet (10 meters) away from its receiver (shown below) in a clear line of sight.

If you’re not getting this distance, try these suggestions:
– Replace the battery/batteries or make sure your mouse or keyboard is fully charged
– Move devices that emit radio waves or could cause radio interference away from your work area (Examples: cell phones, radios, wireless routers, microwaves)

To determine if your environment is shortening your operating range, try using your device in a different environment to see if the distance improves. If it does, look for other possible sources of interference you can remove from your work area.

Mouse and keyboard compatibility with USB hubs and KVM switches****

We do not support the use of third-party devices with our mice and keyboards. They can interfere with communication between a mouse or keyboard and the computer.
Unsupported third-party devices include:

– KVM switch boxes
– Port replicators
– Docking stations
– USB hubs

NOTE: The manufacturers of these third-party devices implement keyboard and mouse support in different ways. There is currently no industry standard.

My Unifying mouse or keyboard wakes the computer even when it is set not to****

Symptom
After disabling the ability to wake-up the system in Windows Device Manager, the Unifying mouse or keyboard still brings the system out of sleep mode.

Solution
Even if you bought a mouse-only or keyboard-only product, the Unifying receiver that came with it still enumerates for both the mouse and keyboard interfaces.

Example
If you have two mice attached, then you would need to uncheck the “Allow this device to wake the computer” option for both mice plus a keyboard in the Windows Device Manager.
Use the process below to identify and configure the Unifying devices to not wake up the system in Windows Device Manager.

Changing wake-up settings in the Device Manager
To change the wake-up settings in Windows Device Manager, you’ll need to launch it through Computer Management and then make your selections. Here’s how:
1. Click Start, right-click Computer , and then click Manage.
2. Click Device Manager in the navigation pane on the left.

3. Select and expand either the “Keyboards” or “Mice and other pointing devices” category.
4. Right-click on the first entry and go to Properties > Details tab > Hardware IDs under the Property section.
5. Make sure the Value section contains: HID\VID_046D &PID_C52B. If it doesn’t, click Cancel and open the next mouse or keyboard entry in the list.

6. Select the “Power Management” tab and uncheck the “Allow this device to wake the computer” check box.

7. Repeat the same steps for all entries in both the “Keyboards” and “Mice and other pointing devices” categories.

Backup device settings to the cloud in Logitech Options+****

INTRODUCTION
This feature on Logi Options+ allows you to backup the customization of your Options+ supported device automatically to the cloud after creating an account. If you are planning to use your device on a new computer or wish to go back to your old settings on the same computer, log into your Options+ account on that computer and fetch the settings you want from a backup to set up your device and get going.

HOW IT WORKS
When you are logged into Logi Options+ with a verified account, your device settings are automatically backed up to the cloud by default. You can manage the settings and the backups from the Backups tab under More settings of your device (as shown):

Manage settings and backups by clicking on More > Backups:

AUTOMATIC BACKUP OF SETTINGS — if the Automatically create backups of settings for all devices checkbox is enabled, any settings you have or modify for all of your devices on that computer are backed up to the cloud automatically. The checkbox is enabled by default. You can disable it if you don’t want the settings of your devices to be backed up automatically.

CREATE A BACKUP NOW — this button allows you to backup your current device settings now, if you need to fetch them later.

RESTORE SETTINGS FROM BACKUP — this button lets you view and restore all the available backups you have for that device that are compatible with that computer, as shown above.
The settings for a device are backed up for every computer that you have your device connected to and have Logi Options+ that you are logged into. Every time you make some modifications to your device settings, they get backed up with that computer name. The backups can be differentiated based on the following:

1. Name of the computer. (Ex. John’s Work Laptop)
2. Make and/or model of the computer. (Ex. Dell Inc., Macbook Pro (13-inch) and so on)
4. The time when the backup was made
5. The desired settings can then be selected and restored accordingly.

WHAT SETTINGS GET BACKED UP
– Configuration of all the buttons of your mouse
– Configuration of all the keys of your keyboard
– Point & Scroll settings of your mouse
– Any application-specific settings of your device

WHAT SETTINGS ARE NOT BACKED UP
– Flow settings
– Options+ app settings

Num Lock disabled after Windows 10 starts****

By default, the Num Lock on your keyboard is disabled each time Windows 10 boots up after a shutdown or restart.

To configure your operating system so that Num Lock stays on during startup, please contact professional support for your operating system. This requires advanced changes that need to be done under the guidance of a professional technician.
