Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo — Keyboard and Mouse Included

I purchased this, “Keyboard and Mouse Combo” off Amazon about 2 years ago. My current keyboard at the time had just been broken because the cord and plug on the keyboard had been damaged. I was also redecorating my room at the time and wanted a bit more of a “modern” keyboard for my desktop, as I am always using my desktop for something, whether it be homework, Netflix, etc. After receiving the combo-pack, I was surprised at how easy it was to operate and the convenience of not having cords all over my desk. You simply have to insert the dongle from the keyboard and mouse into your computer, power on the keyboard and mouse, and that is it! The durability is also extremely good. I have typed paper after paper for my college classes these past two years and both still function just as well as the day I got them. In fact, they are what I am using to write this review currently! This combo also provides accessible comfort, as they automatically connect to your computer as soon as you power them on, you can use the keyboard and mouse in your lap, on your bed, in your favorite comfortable chair, etc. One downside about having a wireless keyboard and mouse is that they operate off of batteries. So, I do have to go out and purchase batteries occasionally, although, as I said I am always using my desktop, typing papers for school, etc. and I usually only have to grab some new batteries every couple of months. Overall, this product is convenient, accessible, extremely durable, long-lasting, and definitely worth the price tag of $35 for the number of years it will last you, and the accessibility it will give to you. I would recommend this keyboard and mouse combo to anyone who uses their computer a lot and would appreciate not having to deal with the traditional worry of cords being damaged, pulled, or yanked, or the foot worth of cord from your keyboard and mouse that chains you to the confines of your desk.

The mouse is a little smaller than I had anticipated, but going from a full size to a more travel size hasn't been an issue. It still fits well enough in my hand, and it works splendidly, even with my old computer. I needed a new set when my old Logitech bluetooth finally gave out, and decided to stick with the brand that works.I'm glad my loyalty was rewarded! Logitech has stepped up their game since my last keyboard set. Now I can easily see when the keyboard is on or off, rather than having to pick it up and look for the tiny switch hidden away underneath. There's a visible light for caps lock, so I don't give someone a surprise through a quickly typed and entered instant message.Better yet, there's a whole row of interesting buttons at the top. Granted, I won't use quite a bit of them, but having access to the volume and power functions of my computer in a very out-of-the way place makes it much easier. I usually plug my laptop into a projector for movie nights, and it can be a pain to get up, find the laptop in the dark, and putter around with finding the next movie. Having a keyboard and mouse set that's not wired in means I can be anywhere in my living room and won't have to get up in between films. And if I just so happen to decide to just sleep on the couch, I still won't have to get up to turn off the computer. But, since the buttons are on a dedicated row fully separated from the rest of the keys, it severely limits the chance of you accidentally hitting a button you didn't want.The mouse is extremely responsive (too much at times, personally), but the pointer speed can easily be fixed. There are some drivers that are recommended to download, and I say download whichever ones you find. The ones that automatically downloaded when I plugged in the keyboard were well enough, and I could still do everything I needed to with this product, but the accessory driver on Logitech's website gave a nice interface for me to interact with the keyboard and mouse. With that I was able to play around with a couple of personalizations I didn't even know I could do, and this keyboard is more attuned to my needs.If you're looking for a blend of quality and price, Logitech's lower level keyboards are definitely the way to go. Unless you're a big gamer, or use the keyboard extensively, there's not much of a need to upgrade from this product.
