Review on πŸ’» Logitech MK470 Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Low Profile Compact Layout, Ultra Quiet Operation, 2.4 GHz USB Receiver, Plug and Play Connectivity, Long Battery Life - Graphite by Jim Booth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slim, Quiet, POWERFUL

Update: Must get up to 1 star out of 5 stars for a reason - it is NOT a Logitech unification device. If you lose the tiny USB connector, you're SOL and should replace the whole thing instead of being able to connect to a unified USB receiver. The main reason I bought this laptop was to travel, but I don't use the mouse that comes with it, so the keyboard doesn't have an on/off switch and no place to place/store the USB receiver during transport. As a result, it is very easy to lose. Can't recommend due to the issues I'm having right now. This is exactly the keyboard I was looking for to improve my work from home! I will even use it when I travel. I used to have a laptop stand that was great for an ergonomic posture but was uncomfortable when typing. Advantages: + Installation is immediate. I have to admit I was worried it would be difficult to set up Bluetooth, but all you have to do is plug in a small USB receiver and you're done :) + Stylish and super slim, ideal for people of all heights like you .You don't have to bend your wrist to access the keys on your desk or desk.+ Matches the slim Kensington palm rest perfectly! Seriously, they are meant for each other. I'm used to plastic palm rests and hate thick gel pads. This is flat, smooth (leather feel) and hard. Cons: Mouse included. I like that both the mouse and keyboard use the same USB receiver, but it's not a very good mouse. I LOVE my Logitech M330 wireless mouse and wish it was with me. A very small disadvantage for me since I already have a favorite wireless mouse.

Pros
  • Auto-Sleep saves battery power for 36 months of keyboard use and 18 months of mouse use** **Battery life may vary based on user and computer conditions
Cons
  • Seniors
