I'm using this with a Dell XPS 13. My previous keyboard/mouse combo only had the nano USB receiver (which is also an option with this combo), but I had occasional lag issues. I decided to get the MK650 and try it with Bluetooth. I think it's a little expensive for what you get, but it's been worth it. It connects instantly and the connection is stable, plus it frees up a USB port on my hub. I have had zero issues with lag, drops, or interference, even with other Bluetooth devices connected such as earbuds or speakers.Keyboard: I'm used to chiclet style keys, but this is fine. I would prefer it without the palm rest to make it more compact, but it is comfortable. I like the multiple leg options to set the angle. I also like the built-in media and volume control keys above the main keys. They are a requirement for me so I don't have to hit Fn whenever I want to pause or change volume. That said, I am finding several of the function keys to be very useful. Being able to bring up settings, quick print, or calculator with a single keystroke is quite efficient. My only real complaint is the lack of a light to indicate NumLock for the numeric keypad. It's a minor issue, since I have it on nearly 100% of the time, but an indicator to be sure would be nice. There is one for CapsLock, so the lack for NumLock seems odd.Mouse: It's a nice, smooth mouse. The wheel is better than many others I have used. The inclusion of two side buttons is nice. By default, they go forward and backward through webpages or other apps. I'm sure they can be customized using Logitech apps, but they're fine for me as they are. The button clicks are very quiet and actually took me a little while to get used to. I was so used to louder clicks that I wasn't sure at first if I had missed a click. But after a couple of days it was natural and I love the quiet.Overall, it's a good combo. A little more expensive than ones that only have the USB receiver, but it's definitely worth the price for my usage. Connection is solid and there are lots of little features that are convenient and useful.

I upgraded to this from the Logitech K270. I bought a new PC and wanted to take advantage of Bluetooth and free up my USB ports for other things. I'm quite happy with the key travel and softness and the low noise (I dislike mechanical for noise). I like shortcut buttons for things like emoji and screenshot. The Bluetooth sets up and works like a charm. I accidently turned off my Bluetooth on the PC but was able to get reconnected after connecting the wireless dongle (my Logi mouse also has dual connections). Everything is working as I wanted and I have nothing negative to say about it after a month of use.

Though it isn’t advertised as a keyboard for Linux, I expected better compatibility. Not having a print screen key is very frustrating when try to make a screenshot on Linux.Despite the above, the design is great and it feels better than other 5 keyboards I used in the past 2 years.When I tried to use the keyboard and the mouse to play the League of Legends, which is real-time 5 vs 5 online game, I quickly realized it is a wrong tool for the task. I bought wired SteelSeries keyboard and mouse for gaming.

I don't normally give reviews, but this product was honestly worth my time in the case it may help someone else...I am currently starting my new career as a legal transcriptionist and typing thousand of pages a month on my laptop keyboard was not not ergonomic and slowing me down. I researched all of Logitech's keyboard options and decided on this one. It was important to me that function keys could be used as primaries (without having to press the function key) as I use them hundreds of times a day in my transcript creation and this keyboard has the feature of setting functions keys as primary shortcuts or primary function keys. It's super easy to toggle back and forth between features with just two key presses. I put a sticky note on the back of the keyboard with the shortcut, so I won't forget it in the future. Also, my USB dongle was floating around in the box, instead of placed inside the secure compartment in the back of the keyboard. I only got lucky and saw it on the floor one day, otherwise it would have been lost so beware when you unbox. On to my review...The Pros: soft, rounded corner keys that feel like pressing clouds and relatively quiet. Is it the quietest keyboard on the market? Probably not. But it's not clunky-sounding and doesn't wake my family when I'm working well into the midnight hours. Connectivity was super easy and had no hang ups. Connects via USB or Bluetooth, which is great because with all my transcription gear, I have no USB space left on my current computer. I've had no issues with lag or it keeping up with key presses and I type fast! There is an LED indicator light on the CAPS LOCK key. All of the shortcut keys are extremely useful, especially the screenshot, as well as the media keys at the top, and there is a dedicated lock key if you work in an office setting where you need to lock your computer if you step away. Even though this keyboard isn't advertised as portable in size, it isn't so large or heavy that it wouldn't fit in a larger size bag to carry with you somewhere or from room to room. I keep mine in a basket beneath my desk when not in use and I love that feature. It's also got a built-in plastic wrist rest that I cannot live without, although some may find that a con as you can not use your own padded or softer version. There are two incline levels, as well as flat, and all three options use premium rubber feet so you've got good traction and shouldn't scar or scratch any surface you place it on.Cons: This keyboard is not backlit. I am worried the white color will likely stain over time and lose it's aesthetics. USB dongle was not packed inside the secure battery storage compartment. No instruction manual - an illustration of the shortcuts and their meanings would have been super useful as well as the primary function key feature switch shortcut. Had it not been for other reviews, I would not have known about this feature and I had look it up on my own from the Logitech website. I cannot get the media controls to control my media when I'm using mini-player mode (ExpressScribe). I'm hoping with some research this may be remedied.Would be better if: It was backlit. Include some instructions-short, sweet and simple would do the trick. Maybe have a manual switch for the primary function key feature. For me personally, the keys could have a little more spacing between them, but this of course would sacrifice space and portability.What I can't speak on... I haven't typed for hours on this yet, so I can't speak to it's durability or battery life. I also have not tried using this with more than one device, so I cannot speak to that either.For my career needs, I can't see finding a better keyboard in this price range and I will likely order a second one in the near future to have as a backup.

This wireless Logitech keyboard replaced an earlier somewhat similar wired/battery powered Logitech keyboard that developed an issue in the battery compartment. This led to a constantly flashing red light on the keyboard. Nothing I tried would resolve the problem, so along with experiencing a few keys having become less responsive and precise over the years, I decided to replace it with this one. I am not at all disappointed I did.This keyboard is lighter than my earlier Logitech model but it is in no way flimsy or "cheap" feeling. Once connected to my desktop computer through the Bluetooth connection, a fast and simple process, the keyboard functioned flawlessly. The keys fall readily to hand and were I a better typist, it would no doubt be even more pleasurable to use. As it is, with my tried and true hunt and peck method, it works as well as can be expected.This is a quality accessory from a trusted maker of superior computer accessories. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Me sorprende que al ser ofertado en Amazon México, el teclado venga en inglés, claro ahí no tengo queja: debí haberme fijado en la fotografía.Mi problema con este teclado es que lleva 3 semanas fuera de la caja y su Bluetooth se está conectando y desconectando de mi Macbook (OS Monterey). Ya probé todos los consejos que Logitech tiene en su página y nada funciona. Este no es un problema de la Mac, tengo otros dispositivos Bluetooth conectados y ninguno falla.Así que, consumidor: cuidado!

I love this keyboard! I have tried so many, including the M310 combo which was good and I liked the feel but the quality wasn't there for full time use. (I went through 3 of them in 3 years) On the bottom of the mouse it actually says " for Business" which the other ones did not say. As soon as i opened the box I could tell it was the same style that i liked (almost identical) but the quality is SOOO much better. It has bluetooth connection as well which my others ones did not have, this is great so you don;'t have to use up a USB port for the mouse. Again, I cannot stress how much I LOVE this keyboard and mouse combo. The white colour is so chic and crisp it is EXACTLY what I was looking for. THANK YOU !!
