Logitech's product page lists the keyboard, a Logi Bolt USB receiver, a USB-C charging cable (USB-A to USB-C) and user documentation in the box. The cable's USB-A plug doesn't fit a USB-C-only computer without an adapter.
Logitech says the keyboard is compatible with a Logitech Flow enabled mouse.
Logitech gives it a 1-Year Limited Hardware Warranty.
How far do the scissor keys travel, and how hard do you press them?
Logitech's support specifications list scissor keys with 1.8mm of total travel and a 60 g actuation force. On a scissor keyboard, each key sits on a pair of hinged supports that keep it level as it goes down. A full-height mechanical switch typically travels about 4 mm, so each press here is shorter.
Actuation force is how hard you have to press before a key registers.
Logitech describes "spherically-dished keys shaped for your fingertips", and says increased key stability reduces noise.

How long does the battery last, and how does it connect?
Logitech's support specifications tie the battery life to the backlight. In a bright room of 100–200 lux, they give 146 hours, or 6.1 days. In a room under 100 lux, they give 242 hours, or 10.1 days. Each of those comes with a further 364 hours (15.2 days) on the last 10% of the battery without the backlight. With the backlight off, they give five months.
The battery is a rechargeable 1500 mAh Li-Po.
It connects by the Logi Bolt USB receiver or Bluetooth Low Energy, and the support specifications give a wireless range of 10m.
