Logitech MK850 Performance Wireless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Combo

The keyboard had a nice form and was good to use when it worked. The mouse is fine (no problems with the mouse)

However, the keyboard had ongoing intermittent disconnections (several times a day). I say 'had' in the past tense, as I have just chucked this keyboard into the red bin - I never want to see this keyboard again. I'll keep using the mouse. The disconnections could be temporarily resolved by taking the batteries out and in again, or ejecting/re-inserting the USB dongle.

This drove me close to insanity - typing away and having the keyboard become unresponsive is very annoying, and sucks productivity if you work on a computer.

Do not buy this combo.

I wanted to be able to use both my work and personal laptops at home but only have one keyboard and one mouse on my desk. This did that perfectly (and has room for another computer if I needed).
Not cheap but did the job very well. Pleased that I got it. I can't speak to the ergonomics - works for me but I know that some people are pickier on that than I am. I don't type that fast.

This combo surpassed my expectations. I can now switch between 3 different computers so easily. It was easy to set up and provides for Bluetooth connections (two of them) and one USB connection.

After trying 2 different keyboards, this keyboard and mouse set have a great feel and reliable connection to the unifying USB connector. Installation was simple plug and play. Very happy with it.

Very comfortable and effective. Would recommend - esp as can be sued across 3 devices. Very comfortable and effective. Would recommend - esp as can be sued across 3 devices.

So easy to use So easy to use

Keyboard nicely raised between the hands slightly, mouse is fully non slip rubber, easy pairing, quiet typing all round feels reasonable quality would recommend. Not sure if the wrist support rubber part that's textured will collect debris tho. Been using for a few days now.

I purchased this about a month ago. Both keyboard and mouse are comfortable to use - the curve of the keyboard and palm support are particularly good. I purchased specifically to use as Bluetooth connected accessories. In general this works well and they were easy to connect. I've had zero issues with the mouse. The keyboard does periodically 'freeze' and act like its not connected, even though my laptop can still 'see' the keyboard. I then have to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard. A bit frustrating but only happening once every couple of weeks, which I can live with. The set also comes with wireless dongle thingy so you can run off that...view more I purchased this about a month ago.

Very easy to set up and the ergonomics of the keyboard make it very easy on your wrists. I am often switching between my laptop and desktop. My previous set was a pain, having to unplug and plug usb receivers. This set up is not cheap but the flexibility is great.

Great product, very happy with the purchase, good value for money Great product, very happy with the purchase, good value for money

Works seamlessly both on Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

Switching devices is very easy, can even split connectivity between keyboard and mouse, so I can continue to type on the keyboard on device #1 while click away with the mouse on device #2. Setting up is a breeze.
No complaints, no clutter on the desk and happy multi-tasking with a sturdy keyboard and mouse.

5 stars from me. Works seamlessly both on Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

I bought the Logitech MK850 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (it's not Bluetooth so you need a USB slot for transmitter).

The Good: It has slight rise in the middle of the keyboard which gives a very nice slight curve for your left and right hand. The key layout is standard so no space or gap between the left and right hand like the Microsoft urgo keyboards. The Mouse has 4 extra buttons and a really nice free wheeling scroll, not clicks.

That Bad: Is not so bad, If I was really picky I would say I prefer the keyboard to be slightly bigger, but I would say that's just trying to find something bad and me being picky.

The Pretty: This is a good looking Keyboard, it's all black with 3 white keys above the insert, home and page up key that breaks the total blackness of the keyboard. It has a really nice white bad to the Keyboard and mouse, on my black desk it gives the illusion that the keyboard is floating. Also the palm rest is some kind of material that has some spongeness under it, it very nice and does not look or feel cheap.

Overall, I would rate this keyboard in the 8 out of 10 for Value and looks.
10 out of 10 for usability and not having any issues, I have only had this for 3 weeks now.
