Has keys that you can program for Netflix, Slingbox, Plex, whatever. And volume control, mute on the left side. Works very for us.

not enough standard keys on this one for me. also the touch pad is terrible. sorry but would recommend anything other than this one.

touch pad; lack of standard keys

Like the Logitech K830, the Microsoft All-in-One has a full size keyset accompanied by a touchpad on the right hand side for mouse control. It doesn't have the premium feel or lighting of the Logitech, but it is available at less than half the price.

A keyboard is a keyboard is a keyboard, right? Not quite. If you happen to be anything of a wordsmith, or just spend a good portion of your day, you would know the opposite is true.

Compact; Lightweight; Large; responsive integrated trackpad

Media keys seem an afterthought; Dongle limits it to compatible devices

It integrates a touchpad with mouse buttons that support gestures (including ones for Windows 8). The Media Keyboard ($30.94 at Amazon) measures a compact 0.8 by 5.2 by 14.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 15.3 ounces. It's black, with chiclet-style keys that have rounded corners.
