Let’s be honest. Navigating your Smart TV can be a bit of a hassle, especially when there’s typing involved. If you connect your PC to the TV, you still have to go through the awkward navigation of the screen with your mouse and keyboard, which is still not ideal. But don’t worry, Logitech’s got you covered, with their Smart TV remote keyboard – the K600.
Logitech K600 – Just a Remote Keyboard?
This remote keyboard isn’t just that. It also contains a touchpad to rid you of the inconvenience of having to connect and use a separate mouse. And not only that, but it also comes with the Smart TV shortcuts lined up on its left-most side.
K600 also has a D-pad because every TV nowadays has the on-screen menu and app grid interface. Heck, you can even control media players in streaming apps with it.
The touchpad has all the precision of any laptop-like touchpad, in addition to supporting the use of two fingers to scroll up and down web pages, as well as zooming in and out on the PC connected to the TV.
Speaking of the TV, the Smart TV shortcuts available on the left side of the keyboard include all the necessary keys – Home, Back, App Switch, and Search.
Not only that, Windows and Mac users can even personalize the K600 in Logitech Options software by assigning specific functions or shortcuts to whichever keys they want. But that’s not all folks! You can also customize the touchpad settings.
You can use it to browse the web, search for content you want to watch, enter complicated passwords, all the perks you can imagine having with a remote keyboard + mouse combo.
