I bought this to switch between my mini mac, macbook pro, and windows PC, though I also tried it on my iPhone and iPad. It works as advertised, and it is nice to look at. The keys feel nice, a good solid texture, and I like the dips in each key.
I haven't had the bluetooth cut out, though after I installed the keyboard and the Logitech software on my mac mini, it started showing the Bluetooth connection screen on startup, saying it could not connect to the keyboard, but the keyboard was indeed working. I just disabled the option in Preferences under Bluetooth for Advanced: "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if no keyboard is detected", and the problem went away. The keyboard did wake my mac up, and I even had it powered off, powered it on, then hit a key to wake it.
The keyboard is a lot smaller than I expected, but it hasn't really impacted my typing ability. The keyboard truly has no ergonomics in mind though, so you will need to prop the back up on something (I prop it up on my other keyboard's ergonomic palm rest, ironically). It's almost flat otherwise, a small rise from front to back.
Switching between the iPhone, iPad, and Mac Mini has worked very well and is very fast, and typing worked fine. I dropped the iPad connection and replaced with my Windows 7 PC, and the switch was easy and seamless. It would only be better if it had 4 (or maybe 5) connection options, but that's not the market share I'm sure.
The backlight is nice, all of the controls work well. I can play/pause, mute, change volume on Windows with it as well. Switching between devices is fast.
What I don't like is similar to other complaints, no Next Song/Prev Song buttons, but I can deal. I honestly can't think of anything that I would call a showstopper.
I won't ding it on rating obviously, but if you use it for Windows, note that there is no way to lock the Function keys at the top, so you have to press Fn every time, and using a lot of Adobe products on the Windows side, this does make it a pain. I will probably not use the keyboard for the Windows PC much and keep it Mac oriented (Not complaining, just giving notice to anyone else that might consider using it for Windows).
EDIT: I've used the keyboard for a while now, almost daily, and it is working well after about 6 months. I can't believe how little I've had to charge it (maybe 4 times since I bought it). The battery lasts and amazingly long time between charges. They keys and keyboard are still fully functioning with no wear and tear noticeable (and my 2 yr old likes to carry it around and beat on it too).
