Regardless, there is not a lot that really needs to be added on the hardware side to implement such a feature.&lt;p&gt;If such goodies existed then I would not need that normal keyboard&amp;#x2F;mouse that I have in my draw for the unpaired situation you describe. I could also do things such as BIOS UEFI settings without having to reach for the emergency input devices.&lt;p&gt;Despite deficiencies, I find the 810 to be the best keyboard going, I carry mine around instead of a laptop, it works great with work PC, my phone and my home PC.</text><parent_chain><item><author>seanp2k2</author><text>Yep, I wanted to love Bluetooth for keyboards, but my Logitech and Microsoft wireless keyboards (work and home, respectively) work great with their proprietary receivers (basically like a wireless wire), while the Logitech K810 has random key lag and connectivity issues (try typing your password when Bluetooth doesn&amp;#x27;t work and you can&amp;#x27;t log in to re-pair it).&lt;p&gt;Windows 10 also seems monumentally bad at Bluetooth, and I&amp;#x27;ve tried with a few different Bluetooth dongles with different chipsets.
