Review on Renewed Logitech MK540 Advanced Wireless Keyboard with M185 Mouse & USB Receiver - 920-008981: Enhanced Performance at a Great Value by Wei-Yin Chang ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

The store's heavy bottom frame already had me worried about its aesthetic appeal, and it just reinforced my worst thoughts when I got it home. Making the transition from a traditional keyboard was challenging. As a result of the constant destruction of familiar landmarks by the bottom half, you can never begin typing without first glancing, and even then you frequently fail to hit the correct key. Metal plates' added weight was an additional annoyance. During working, I frequently adjust the keyboard on the table, however this one won't budge. Maybe someone will find this appealing; everyone has their own tastes and preferences, so each person should make their own mind up. After some time, I came to the conclusion that a wired MK120 set has no equal. The mouse fits nicely in the palm of the hand, but its wheel spins so tightly that an hour in, I'm ready to switch to anything else. I don't get the reasoning for doing this. Logitech can't mass-produce regular sets since they can't create them all at once. My agonizing search for a standard keyboard continues. As a starting point, I'll check out the MK295 collection, but I'll be swapping out the dwarf mouse for an MK560 right away.

Pros
  • Keystrokes
Cons
  • Heavy, thick, and occupying a lot of room
