lol at spergy nerds who complain about "input lag." That poo poo is measured in milliseconds, 1/1000 of a second...most normal people will not notice the difference between 50 ms input lag and 5ms.

One thing -- I don't have cable television, and I bought a digital antenna from Amazon. I cannot pick up some channels like ABC.

I want to watch the Oscars next Sunday and I don't know what to do.

You know, the K400 is good for looking nice, being small, and cheap. And being less of a functional compromise than most smaller HTPC keyboards. That's about it.

The lack of physically-separate arrow keys, along with the horrendous mess of the 6-key editing block plus tiny right shift key make this a poor choice for typing anything. Also the omission of Pause/Break means no shortcut to System Properties for you! And the tightly packed letter keys bring new meaning to PAIN for FPS gaming. Get the bliss of hitting the wrong key over and over again :D

Then the function keys combined with the media keys make for such a mess. It means useful keyboard combinations like Alt-F4 and F5 to refresh are just not available, not to mention the slew of games that make use of these keys for things like quick saves. And you can make the F keys the default through their software, but then you have to go find the tiny Function key every loving time you want to change to the next track......gently caress!

Did I mention there's no loving number pad?

After I found myself using my desktop anytime I needed to type poo poo in, I just said gently caress it and bought a full-sized wireless keyboard.

So the K400 is for people who don't do much of anything with their HTPC. No wonder it's so popular :D

I use this for my HTPC and it's a hell of a lot nicer than having some huge full size keyboard around. Not like I'm typing much more than searches or URLs.

I've got a 50" Panasonic plasma that's prob 6 years old. It will never leave its place on the TV stand because I literally can't move it.
