Solid aluminum but light. Amazing button placement, stick, touchpad. Great volume wheel (had to mention it after the disappointing one on my new red dragon keyboard for my desktop. 2 Bluetooth profiles and 1 wireless dongle means this can be set up to work on 3 devices and toggle between them! Using this on a Nvidia Shield (android tv) I must say I was impressed with the touchpad tracking over bluetooth. So much so that I started considering using moonlight to stream FPS games that don't require too much fast reaction. Star Citizen from bed with the analogue stick for flight control? Maybe if I'm sick and can't leave the room. May need to see if that's possible...
Feels solid, wouldn't recommend shoving it in a backpack if you care about the stick in the top right, since it protrudes a bit. Rechargeable internal battery via USB which also carries a data connection so you can use it with a PC while it's charging even without the wireless dongle.
Speaking of the software, there are a few extra services that run with it by default that are only needed in specific circumstances and aren't necessary if you're only using it for the keyboard. And the only way to disable them is through the services panel. It can't be done within the application itself. They also get reset to run automatically every time the software is updated, which is fairly often.
Finally, the round touchpad is a real WTF moment. It looks cool and all, but it's very awkward to use since screens are rectangular. This is an area that should always be function over form and never the other way around.
Oh and this is a minor gripe, but they used something other than a lithium ion battery and it takes forever to charge. Literally like 12 hours or something, which is ridiculous. But it does last a long time and you can just charge it overnight so not a big deal. Also would have been nice to have a USB-c charging port instead of the outdated micro-USB. Get with the times, Corsair!
The Corsair K83 has great backlighting, and a nice touchpad. The "joystick" buttons are oddly placed and pretty much useless, but otherwise the keyboard is mechanically superior to the K830.
Edit: After updating to the latest firmware (05/19), keypresses register much better at range. The touchpad on wireless is still quite bad though, lagging or jumping all over the place.
Also, the battery life is terrible. It lasts about 2 days with almost no use. The K830 lasts weeks between charges.
Hopefully some day there will be a better illuminated wireless htpc keyboard than the Logitech K830. This is not it though.
