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.

5 years ago, the wireless mouse alone would have cost 3x what this wireless mouse/kbd package cost today.Although I currently only use the wireless keyboard portion, (I use a logitech trackman due to limited desk space)I couldn't beat the value even for wireless keyboard only devices.I type with the kbd in my lap - - very comfortable and ergonomic.I do still prefer my Northgate Omnikey 102 (eat your hearts out) for which I am the original owner and Logitech MX Laser mouse on my main production computerBut this Logitech MK270 (although somewhat mushy compared to the Omnikey) is just as good as any other Kbd available today (IMHO) at a very competitive price.Some whine about the numeric keypad - - but I happen to LIKE it - as I use it constantlyI also appreciate the on-off switch - - and Always turn the kbd off when done for the day - - bet the batteries last for years !-Addendum - 5/16/19:This is a GREAT Kbd & Mouse Combo - this is the fifth one I've purchased. One for my office computer, one for my mothers laptop, one for my Skype computer in the Media Room, #4 I can't remember, and this one #5 for use at our Church recording station.What I'm NOT happy with is Amazon for sending what appears to be a previously sold item.I've purchased four of these that were new - so I know what to expect.This one had tape over the sides and primary front closure (previous ones had no tape)Box corner was crushed (sure - could have happened in transit)Batteries were in bubble-wrap (the new ones come installed in the Kbd and Mouse with a pull tab to activate)The BT receiver came inserted in the Mouse compartment. The new ones are packed independently in the box.I initially freaked out - thinking the BT receiver had been omitted - but then remembered there was a spot inside the mouse where the BT receiver can be stored when traveling. Had I NOT known that - I would have requested return.Yes - - all works perfect - and as I need to use the Kbd/Mouse in 3 days - I'll NOT request return.Just BAD on Amazon for their shenanigans.

I've now purchased two of the MK270 combos and love them. The first was a ways back for my work laptop, Windows 7 based computer. Plugged in the tiny USB hub and both the keyboard and mouse were working in seconds. I like the larger keyboard for the number pad and the various shortcut keys at the top that all function nicely (volume up and down, mute, email, browser launch, even calculator). Let's me be comfortable while I type. Mouse is small but I like that, never one for bulky mice. And the USB hub fits nicely into the mouse should you need to pack it up.Purchased the second for my Chromebook and it was up and running even faster than my laptop. Couldn't believe how nicely it works. My kids do a lot of internet based homework for school and again the separate number pad makes life easier for them as they work through their math homework. Mouse is far easier for them than the touch pad on the Chromebook.Finally, what I did not realize is that the keyboard and mouse both have an effective range of 20-30 feet (perhaps more). I just had surgery and was confined to bed for a week. I hooked my laptop up to my LED Flat Screen, and then laid in bed with the keyboard and mouse, a good 10-15 feet away, and was able to do work and keep myself entertained. Loved that I could leave the laptop sitting elsewhere and never had to get up to do anything with it, just used the keyboard and mouse as I normally would. And last night we were at my in laws and streaming something on the Chromebook. Everyone wanted to see it so we hooked it up to their 60" LED and used the mouse from across the room (a good 20 feet) to switch between videos. Again, the Chromebook was right next to the TV and sound system, and we handled everything from across the room. Not a big deal to some, but a really nice side benefit for those of us who periodically like to hook up our laptops to the home entertainment system.I usually try to turn the keyboard and mouse off but often forget at my work computer. They either use no battery power or they have an auto-off function because I've replaced the AA battery once in two years.
