Logitech MK545 Advanced Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

I have had this Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo for a week or two and so far, I love it! It was very easy to install, just plug in the USB dongle and viola! I put my laptop up on a stand for better ergonomics, so needed a new keyboard and mouse. This works perfectly for me and is very comfortable.Due to an answered question I decided to leave this keyboard and mouse on all the time, because the battery life is supposed to be very good. Additionally, I needed to buy a wrist rest to use with the keyboard - it looks like it comes with one, but in fact it is just hard plastic in front of the keys. A separate standalone wrist rest is needed for maximum ergonomic support.I especially like the music control, volume control, and calculator button on this keyboard, kind of a cool touch. The mouse has a nice scrolling wheel and some forward and back buttons on the side. I noticed some reviews said this is not a gaming keyboard - and they're probably right for a hardcore gamer this might be problematic. But I messed around in a casual game just fine with this keyboard and mouse.All and all I'm happy with my purchase. Would recommend.Thanks for reading and good luck!

Great full size keyboard loved it

This is a great keyboard! It's well laid out and the quality is quite good. I use mine to control a living room PC- inevitably the keyboard and mouse get dropped a lot but both are very sturdy!Sometimes there's a quick disconnect or some latency. I take it with a grain of salt.Not the best for gaming- there can be some input latency that isn't noticeable when you're doing other tasks but can interfere with games.The mouse is great but I wish it were easier to change the DPI.Final verdict: After trying three or four different wireless MKBs I would recommend the MK545 to anyone looking for a non-gaming wireless keyboard.

Update 4/27/24:I originally rated these at 2/5 because of the manufacturer defect and some other bad first impressions. I've spent about four months with these now, and I have adjusted to the feel of them to the point where I do not feel negatively about them at all. While the defect in the mouse is ridiculous, I was equipped to repair it, and since then everything has been peaches. In fact, with this set, my tv has sort of become my primary display for all things PC. There are nicer pieces on the market, and even in Logitech's own catalogue, but these are totally serviceable for me.Original Review:Mouse arrived with a manufacturer defect. The casing was split open in a way that could’ve only happened from poor assembly. It caused the left click to not work and the mouse wheel to barely rotate. I opened the mouse and reseated the board and casing to close tightly, which seems to have fixed the issue. I imagine they would’ve replaced the mouse if I weren’t able to fix it and I’m guessing this is a pretty rare defect. Still, it really feels like when ordering a new product the first step after opening it shouldn’t be repairing it. It’s not as high quality as other Logitech items I’ve used. This is a secondary set to use while playing games on my tv. My primary mouse is a Logitech wireless I bought years ago, this set doesn’t come close to that in terms of feel. This mouse wheel feels quite cheap and has a low sensitivity, and the keys on the board are a little mushy and light for my taste. This is a secondary mouse and keyboard for my front room, and they’ll do fine for that. But I am glad this wasn’t meant to replace my primary mouse and keyboard. I have had positive experiences with Logitech items in the past, so this is a bit of a disappointment.

Great keyboard. Mouse is simple but the back and forward side buttons are nice additions. The board feels nice with the playback buttons being a good touch along with some other random buttons (like a calculator button). I'd recommend if you're not too picky for an external keyboard and want one that just works well. I've had it for about 15 months and I have ran into any issues yet, so take that for what you will.
