This is the Third Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo that I have purchased over the years. This is a slight upgrade on my previous model but has a similar feel which I like. The Keyboard has a soft low noise response when pressing the keys and the mouse is ergonomically shaped to feel good in your hand. The fact that I keep coming back to Logitech is because I think it is a good all round product which is perfect for both work and leisure.
I’ve never had a bad product from Logitech and I like the brand. I wanted a keyboard/mouse combo with USB connection because that’s what I always have and I’m a writer who spends long days at the keyboard. This is good kit for the price and my only reservation is with the mouse, which is perhaps too basic. Still, I’m not complaining. The set is good value for money.
The keyboard is excellent for me. The typing is rerally quiet and the keypress is of a medium depth with not much force required. In fact I find I sometimes press 2 keys instead of 1 as they are easy to press but this is not a big problem and lies in my accuracy more than anything.
The mouse is a regular mouse, not too small and not too large and ambidextrous.
The box arrived open, not even taped shut but thankfully the dongle was inserted in the box hinge and both mouse and keyboard inside.
Packaging suggests it should have the ‘unifying receiver’ but my Windows PC doesn’t recognise and the unifying software doesn’t detect it either. Does connect the supplied dongle and good feel to the keyboard; not sure if the absence of said receiver is an issue or not really
I have one of these in my home office and now have bought a 2nd one for use in my office – very reliable and robust. Good for all day, everyday use and good battery life. Would really recommend this set if you intend to use it a lot and want something comfortable and reliable.
Purchased to replace an older logitech wired keyboard that had given many years of service (and still working okay). Not using the bundled mouse as I already have a M510 ergonomic mouse, and the new keyboard paired up to the existing Nano transmitter without issues. Which is just what I wanted: only one USB port used for both.
The new keyboard is quick to respond, with no perceptible lag, and works fine at the UFEI/BIOS level boot level as well. Hope it lasts.
The keyboard is quite big, compared to other keyboards I was considering, but I don’t mind it too much.
The key strokes are reasonably quiet, but I think they could have made them quieter.
The small switch above the number keypad turns the keyboard on or off, so this is good to save battery.
An annoying thing I’ve noticed is that the caps lock light is on the caps lock button, instead of the normal place above the number keypad. This means that I have to move my left hand to see if caps lock is in or not when typing.
The box was delivered without the wireless receiver however Amazon (reluctantly) reimbursed me to purchase one.
I bought this wireless keyboard, mouse combi at the start of the UK Covid lockdown to work from home. Although I had a pretty good wired keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse already, I wanted the flexibility of a wireless keyboard for an extended period of wfh. For the price paid, this has been a pretty ok experience so far. With the provided wireless receiver, it is very simple to setup and start using them. I like the mouse more than the keyboard here. The mouse is comfortable to hold, quiet (ish), quick and accurate.
Some of the other reviewers have also mentioned this; the rounded edges of the keys on the keyboard feel weird and do not make it easy to feel the edge of the keys. I didn’t think it would matter so much, but having used the keyboard every day for more than 2 months, it is not a comfortable feeling when typing. I thought I would get used to it soon and won’t notice it, but it is immediately obvious when I use a different keyboard. Hence the 4 stars. It is a pretty quiet keyboard though and I have seen no issues with performance.
The battery life on both the mouse and keyboard is impressive as I am still using the supplied batteries and I also do not switch them off for days on end (not even overnight).
I would recommend this set, if you are not fussed about the round edge keys.
My main gripe is with Amazon’s listing. New combos were out of stock so I looked at the used like new – costing a pound or two less BUT without a warranty. This is how Amazon describes a like new item: “A “like new” item sold on Amazon Warehouse is in perfect condition, but due to the condition of the packaging, it does not meet Amazon.co.uk standards for new product. Returned items with minor packaging defects are classified as “like new.””
I have returned items in the past after a day or so and I assumed I’d get one like that with a damaged/opened box. I would have preferred a new one, but I needed one quickly so I bought this from Amazon Warehouse. When it arrived the keyboard had “stuff” in the edge seams and a faint mark on the palm rest. The mouse had been used enough to show scratches on all the glide pads and to have had bits of the Logi logo worn off – see picture (if I can load it as I don’t see that option). The mouse also had “stuff” in the seams. One of the batteries in the keyboard was a cheapy and not the Duracell ones supplied with a new combo set, which are marked not to sold separately. Look it seems to work ok, but this item is definitely “used” and not “like new”.
UPDATE: 23.4.20 – just pulled a piece of blue tissue paper from under the keys – maybe when the “Like new” keyboard was cleaned. Not impressed Amazo
