Unnecessary joystick, Too expensive, No way to reprogram keys
The K83 demonstrates that there's a very real demand for living room keyboards created for smart TVs. But this device also demonstrates that it's entirely possible to overdesign such a keyboard and drive up the price accordingly.The K83's joystick is a cl...

Awkward right and left click on the trackpad, Circular trackpad, Odd bumper button placements, Pricey
