Logitech MK850 Performance Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

For daily personal use, I use both a laptop and a desktop PC, and for the past year, I have been working at home, which introduces a 3rd device (a work laptop) to my daily routine. I've got sort of a "man-cave-ish" work/personal setup going on now, where my desktop and work PC are both hooked up to my main TV (I switch the TV input to the work PC during work hours), and my personal laptop is hooked up to a 2nd smaller TV, situated at a slight angle next to the main TV. This whole setup is situated in front of my recliner, from which I now use this spiffy keyboard/mouse combo to control everything.The keyboard has a slightly convex key arrangement. I've never been a fan of this, but this one's is pretty slight and not an issue for me. I've also never been a big fan of wrist rests on a keyboard. Most keyboards I've had in the past have a detachable one. I was concerned about this one because not only is this one not detachable, but it also has a fabric surface, which I (correctly) feared would become rather funky after several days of use. Luckily, it does clean up nicely with a disinfecting wipe. While it doesn't do a whole lot for me functionally or ergonomically, it isn't as big a problem as I thought it might be.I don't have any real issues with the mouse - it's fine, although I had to go into the software to disable the gesture "button", as it was extremely annoying. The actual buttons on the side are fine, but the "non-button" area of the left side of the mouse as a whole acts as a button as well, and I was constantly getting the windows-tab screen when I didn't intend to see it.As for the USB connectivity, I have my main desktop using the Unifying Receiver, and I am also (out of necessity) using the extender cable which was included in the package to bring the receiver closer to me. This mouse and keyboard seem to have a much shorter range than other wireless Logitech mice and keyboards I have used in the past, but the extender cable makes it usable.For the Bluetooth connectivity, there is typically a delay of a few seconds when switching to a device, but I had read others' comments to this effect before I bought it, and figured it was a fair enough tradeoff for not having to switch to multiple mice/keyboards when using multiple devices. It's not that bad.The main issue I have with the connectivity is that if I am using a 3rd Bluetooth device (i.e., a headset for work meetings), if I switch either the mouse or keyboard to another device, it won't connect back to the device using the headset. I actually have to open the work laptop and use the laptop touchpad/keyboard to go into Windows settings, disable Bluetooth, and re-enable Bluetooth in order to use this mouse/keyboard again. It is really annoying. The obvious workarounds are either to not switch to another device when on a work meeting, or to just use the built-in audio of the work laptop instead of a Bluetooth headset. I don't know if this is the fault of the Logitech mouse/keyboard, or if it is an issue with the work laptop or even my Bluetooth headset, so until I've done more testing, I can't really ding Logitech for this issue.Overall, this is a good solution to my problem, which was having to juggle 3 different mice and keyboards, but it is not a perfect solution - I will still keep my eyes peeled for similar solutions which don't have all of the issues I described above.

This keyboard is a great value. Very quiet, which I greatly prefer. I'm able to type by touch a little faster as the keys have a nice tactile response even though they are quiet. As usual, a new keyboard required a bit of familiarization even though my prior keyboard was also a Logitech. The keys are in just a slightly different spacing but was no big deal. I've used lots of different computers at once and all of the keyboards are just ever so slightly different. The previous one lasted many years but finally wore out. I like that this one can used the unified receiver or Bluetooth, and also work with different machines. The mouse is also very nice... easy touch on the buttons and one can adjust the feel of the scroll wheel.

This keyboard feels SO nice to type on. I had an older version and when I switched jobs, I needed a new one. Your hands sit so nicely on the keyboard and the keys are so easy to the touch. The mouse felt too big at first, but after a week it also feels great. Great for office use.Also very happy the “F” keys are set to the F functions, my job uses those keys a lot and a lot of other keyboards seem to have volume and such as default

I purchased this keyboard because I didn't want a KVM sitting on my desk and I need to use two systems regularly. My monitors have their own switching capabilities so I didn't need to worry about those.Note, I'm not using the mouse, I have been using the Logitech trackball for about a year now. It has the capabilities to pair and switch between two systems via a button on the mouse itself. I love the trackball but that is for a different review.This keyboard is well made. The keys are responsive and have a small click to them which my old nerdy side finds pleasing. The ability to pair with multiple devices we simple and I can easily switch back and forth.I have noticed that on occasion the keyboard and Windows 10 can take a few seconds to pair, and once or twice I had to switch back and forth more than once to get them to pair up, but that hasn't been a real hardship.The delay on pairing can be a bit annoying for a fast typist or someone thinking ahead to what they need to do on the other system. There seems to be some sort of buffer for a few keystrokes built into the keyboard as it does send a few keystrokes even if you typed before pairing was evident, however it isn't many.The one feature I don't like about this keyboard is the ergonomics. It has a slight shape to it but not much of one and the keys feel a little smaller and closer together than my previous Logitech Ergonomic Keyboard which I loved but which wouldn't multi-pair.If you need a keyboard that can switch between devices, this is great. If you don't require that function, I would go with a larger ergonomic keyboard.
