If I had a choice, I probably would've bought the Rapoo, because of the recharging dock and the extra USB/Bluetooth dongle for fun. In all fairness, the Logitech board does power down when not in use saving the battery, without having to switch it off.

Sheesh. It really sucks for touch typists. All the best keyboard designers think it's OK to move the Windows key around.
