Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo for Windows, 2.4 GHz, 8 Multimedia Keys, PC, Laptop, Wireless Keyboard Compact Mouse Combo - BlackCarbon Neutral Certified by SCS Global Services

I like it, I like Logitec stuff in general. This is a budget kb/mouse combo to be clear. Basic, no bells and whistles. Has everything you need, nothing you don't. Lightweight, small footprint and easy to use. No numerous buttons to program, no buttons for stuff you "may" have or use. OEM style, but I'd say the keys have a bit more travel, soft and smooth. The OEM ones I've used are similar but flatter and less travel on the press. Mouse is basic, on the "just a little bit smaller" side, curves inward towards the lower third, where your thumb would probably rest on the side. Doesn't feel heavy and substantial. I wouldn't mind it is was a bit more solid in feel and weight, but this doesn't "bother" me. If anything, kb/mouse can get oily, dusty, grimy and it is nice to be able to get a unit that you can just toss when it gets too old because it was cheaper. Having to clean a $120 set is okay too if it holds up, but nice to have a new set every so often. This is an economical workhorse, entry level, solid and reliable nonetheless. I'd recommend, but if you want a nicer and more feature filled unit, this isn't it.

As a professional typist with decades of 12-14 hour days of doing nothing but just typing, I am very picky about keyboards. Keyboards that meet my standards are getting fewer and far between. Within a strict budget - this Logitech Wireless Keyboard more than meet my exceedingly stingent demands and I am currently a happy-typer.My SAITEK PK02U ECLIPSE II KEYBOARD finally gave out by way of a repeatedly sticking spacebar, which I tried to repair many times, but finally to no avail. After four years of faithful service, I finally had to put that wondeful keyboard to rest. Now a retiree with a tighter budget I had to seek something more in line with my pocketbook. The one new crteria was that my next purchase be a wireless keyboard. I spent days and days reading keyboard reviews and finally decided, with reservation, to order this Logitech Wireless Keyboard. My experience with Logitech consisted of trying a few of their wireless mourses. I would always go back to my Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 - Botanic Pink of which I have two that I use daily and which I find the best mouse on the market. However, the description and reviews of the Logitech K270 seemed the most positive of all the keyboards and at $28.75 it was in my price range. I would have preferred to purchase it locally because I have a history of having to return keyboards because of being unhappy with the touch, sticking keys right out of the box, horrible configurations and key spacing, etc. However, no local business carries this keyboard in stock.I set aside an entire evening to set up my new keyboard, again based on previous history, and also because it was wireless, a new type of keyboard for me. I had a lot of extra time left for other endeavors that evening. Simply put; I opened the box, removed the keyboard and receiver from box, inserted the receiver in my computer tower, pulled out the paper tab from the battery door on the bottom of the keyboard, flipped out the feet on the bottom of the keyboard, turned the keyboard on, and started to type. I was amazed and pleased but I thought it was too early to review the product, I wanted to give it awhile to check out the actual fact of typing with this lightweight, well designed keyboard.The next morning I started with the new keyboard and wanted to test the touch and design of the keys placement on the board. Within 15 minutes I had forgotten that I was supposed to be trying out a keyboard; it simply became my keyboard. Now 24 days later I finally remembered I had never reviewed the product. That is because in that 24 days I have never actually given much thought at all to the fact that I am typing on a NEW keyboard. This was pretty much my first seamless keyboard replacement.I am of course aware that I don't have to keep adjusting the wire from the keyboard to the computer, that I don't have to adjust the sliding drawer where my keyboard rests because the wire is caught on something, that the wire isn't tangled in my feet because it is drooping to the floor, that the wire isn't keeping me from opening the sliding drawer far enough, and all those problems I have endured for years because I thought a wireless keyboard might not be responsive to my need for speed. In that regard, I have yet to notice anything, other than the lack of the physical wire, that tells me I am typing on a wireless keyboard.The touch of this keyboard just seems normal to me and hasn't caught my attention at all. This keyboard is designated as being Long-Range Wireless. My keyboard and computer tower are very close in proximity, so that was a feature I didn't need. However, I have tested this out and I can type on this keyboard down the hall from my office and into the dining room (next room over from office) and the response is fine. The second room over stretches the keyboards wireless limits and it starts to drop letters. I did not measure the distance. All in all this did not present a problem for me though. I never notice slowless or dropped letters or non-responsiveness where it matters, at my desk or in the next room either.The little feet on the bottom prop the keyboard at just the correct angle for me. I used to have to keep an additonal prop aid under my Saitek keyboard to get the cant just right. There is no wrist rest on this Logitech where there was on my Saitek. It took approximately 15 minutes for me not to miss it.My sliding drawer or keyboard tray is formica and like every keyboard I have had, the keyboard is a bit inclined to slide, but I long ago affixed rubbery-like shelf line Duck Brand 1100731 Non-Adhesive Select Easy Shelf Liner, Jumbo Roll, 12-Inch Wide x 20-Feet Long, Taupe with double-sided scotch tape to the surface of my keyboard slider. I placed new liner in honor of my new keyboard and voila, no slipping and sliding.The placement of the keys on this Logitech K270 keyboard are the nearest to the original placement of most of the keyboards I read reviews for. As a longtime typist the changing of major key placement and altering of the spacing between groups of keys always appears counter-productive to me. I don't understand the trend toward re-inventing the keyboard by every major keyboard manufacturer, but it continues to occur with even more frequency as the years roll by. This keyboard presented no problems for me whatsoever in that aspect. It sports a standard, full-size layout which I appreciate. I do however like the addition above the the F function keys, of several small short cut keys. I particularly enjoy the keys that takes me to my home page and to my e-mail (both with no set up required by me at all). There are also keys to increase, decrease, and mute the volume of videos, music, etc which I find helpful. There is also a key that brings up a calculator to the screen.I haven't had the keyboard long enough to encounter the need to replace the two AAA batteries required. The length of the battery power is estimated at 24 months or 2 million keystrokes per year. Now that I don't type all day everyday it might take me awhile to get to 2 million keystrokes in a year.There is an off/on switch on the keyboard to preserve battery power; however, I never turn mine off, nor do I turn off my wireless mouses. Just not a habit I ever developed. I would rather just change the batteries. I also have not utilized the feature available to allow just the one receiver for the keyboard and other compatible items such as your logitech mouse, but I have no reason to doubt that it wouldn't work perfectly as advertised.All in all this was easiest to set up computer keyboard I have encountered in years. The keyboard itself has everything required to make someone used to typing on a standard keyboard completely satisfied with the purchase. I recommend it highly.

I really enjoy this keyboard and mouse setup. Both run off one USB connector, which is conveniently placed in a flap on the box, so you don't have to search for it or lose it in the unpacking. The keys are easy to press, with extra keys on top that are clearly labeled for their uses. Both the keyboard and the mouse include batteries. Nothing lights up to indicate that they are working though. This means you will have to test each out to make sure your batteries are working.The mouse is small and ergonomically fit to the hand making it comfortable to use. For basic office or home use, the durability is great.As others have mentioned, both the keyboard and the mouse have on/off switches. And, the USB connector can be placed into the battery compartment of the mouse when not in use or when traveling.

This works for what it is but I've been disappointed in the mouse action. The "click" on the mouse is way too light and I often have to click on it several times or press harder than usual to get it to select. Also the mouse is so small that it gives me cramps if used for a while - though most are these days. I've used Logi tech in the past but their 'mice' have definitely lost the quality. I used to have one of their thumb ball mouse and after many many years I dropped it and broke it. When I tried to replace it the ball was not the heavy marble type ball. It was this cheap plastic ball. It was never the same. The action was useless. The heavier marble ball would spin so quickly with one touch and get the curser where you wanted it. The plastic ball you had to keep rolling it along with your finger. So sad to see how quality of many products have gone down while the prices go up.

They have a comfortable design, though the mouse is a little shorter than the one I used previously. The keyboard is quiet & seems to be of good quality. The mouse takes 1 AA battery & the keyboard takes 2 AAA batteries. I use the keyboard & mouse 5-6 days a week for at least 6-8 hours a day & have only had to replace the batteries once in the 8 months I've been using them.

This is a very user friendly keyboard, that’s is stylish while still getting the everyday job done. I love how it is wireless and the keys have the perfect smooth click effect. It came with matching wireless mouse also. I have been using for quite some time and have had no issues! Best work from office addition or everyday home use in my opinion!

Exactly what I needed for my new desk set up. Keyboard feels great, just the right amount of finger pressure needed for typing. I love the number pad on the right side, and the mouse is very comfortable. Why spend $50 or more on a keyboard when you can get the reliability of Logitech? I am a return customer.
