What's great about it: Design, typing feedback for membrane keyboard good. Software, macro record button.
What's not so great: Durability of 2nd keyboard not so great
Have had 2 of these keyboards. Fell in love with the first one I had, and was going on 6 months of owning it until the dreaded water incident of 2014. Loved the way it felt typing and gaming. The thumb keys were great, and software very easy to use. Read some folks had issues with the backlighting. I didn't notice that on any level of brightness and how high or how far back I sat.
So went back to Best Buy, and replaced the keyboard with the same exact one. Only this time this one left me wondering. Didn't even make it to 20 days and had to take it back. This time around not my fault. The W kept sticking or would randomly place a W when either not typing or when typing. Last time a keyboard did that was with a Lycosa from Razer. So I decided that maybe someone is trying to tell me that the Isku is not for me. Maybe this last one I got the 1 in 20 that had a little issue.
Would I recommend this keyboard. Yes I would. Because I had an issue with the 2nd keyboard doesn't mean that someone else will. First one I am sure would of gone on to last me if I hadn't spilled that cup of water on it. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

 HP - K3500 Wireless Keyboard for Pavilion - Black
HP - K3500 Wireless Keyboard for Pavilion - Black
Type documents with this HP wireless keyboard. It has Windows 8 shortcuts to save time completing tasks, and Link-5 wireless technology lets you connect up to five HP devices. This HP wireless keyboard has a range of 30 feet, so you can work from a distance and still control your laptop.
 

Will this work with Samsung smart 50" TV ?

Would depend on the model of TV it is. Generally the keyboards I have seen for smart TV's are Bluetooth. What you may want to do if you have not, is go through the owners manual to first see if the TV supports a keyboard, then usually they will tell you what kind to look for if they are supported.

How do you change the batteries?

How does the battery compartment open?
If it is like the K2500, flip the keyboard over and you will see the little cover toward the top side that you slide off to put the batteries in.
