Hi
I'm looking for a BT keyboard that I can use with the internal BT of my Vaio SZ. I don't want one with a dongle, merele one that can work as a hid bt device with the internal BT. There's one from Apple that does exactly that but for windows that is not the wisest (different layout, other keys etc). Anything like that for the windows world?

Logitech has a couple of BT keyboards.

All I can find are thos "desktops" with mouse and keyboard. And they all use a bt dongle. I've not been aple to find logitech solo keyboard with bt.

I haven't found any solo bluetooth keyboard options, only the desktop sets. You could buy one of those, and you don't have to use the USB dongle that comes with it, you can just use your built-in bluetooth. Microsoft also has one, the only problem with the desktop sets is that they are expensive, but I would highly recommend Microsoft keyboards, that's all I have been using for my desktop... Can't wait to get my dv5000t and then I can buy some cool toys for it

Thats the problem, I had the MS BT one a while ago but it died within 6 months and could not be used with the normal BT dongle my PC had. It had to the special MS one but this one was not able to do anything else other than working with the keyboard/mouse. So I'm not to optimistic that those sets work with internal bt. Besides I hate that logitech software, that is bull...

You don't need to install the Logitech software, though it's not as bad as it used to be. Even many of the "special" keys will work without it. Their hardware is excellent, I switched over to them after years of buying Microsoft keyboards and mice. Just pair your notebook with the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you'll be good to go. Leave the included Bluetooth radio in the box as RyanF2009 said.
A nice Logitech USB keyboard and mouse would be a lot cheaper and save you the nuisance of dealing with batteries though. That's what I wound up doing. A powered USB hub will save you the trouble of having to plug/unplug lots of USB devices. I used to have a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard but it flaked out on me too. -
Yeah.. do what I did.. I bought the Logitech MX5000, kept the keyboard and sold everything else off!
And trust me, Logitech products are great! I love everything about them and I seriously don't trust any other peripherals that are not Logitech branded. I've used more than 6 or 7 of the products in the past 5 years and I've loved each and everyone.. also their support is second to none!
After 3 years my mouse had clicking problems, so I called up Logitech and they sent me a brand new desktop set! no questions asked
