Logitech MK235 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo 920-007937

Was happy with the price for a logitech product. Opened it all up and inserted the batteries. looked in the base of the mouse where the USB dongle has a place to sit and no dongle. looked all over the floor, thinking I'd dropped it and then decided it wasnt there. I Went to work the next day and was about to call PBTech when a work mate commented he had a logitech that had the dongle in the folded in end of the box. checked on arriving home and it was at the end I hadnt opened!! As per usual Logitech, it works very well and has a few weeks of use now without fuss - exactly what I expect from Logitech.

Good portable Keyboard combo for my NUC

I don't get the negative reviews on this keyboard. I have had mine 2 years without a hiccup. I am getting a second one tomorrow from Officeworks. I also used a MK295 once and that keyboard is not for me. For me this keyboard for home or on the move (Backpack friendly-Dropped many times still works like new). I like the fact that when I twist the keyboard chassis lengthways it feels like it is supposed to flex as opposed to cheap quality keyboard. You get what you pay for. This is still perfect for what I need

Great value for a wireless keyboard and mouse

I purchased this keyboard and mouse combination so I could access my home office computer from different locations in the office. This keyboard and mouse are just right for this purpose. They worked correctly, plug and play, right out of the box. The keyboard has a substantial feel and positive action, notable given its relatively low cost. The mouse is basic, which is what I expected at this price point, but it's decent enough to use on a daily basis. I especially like that the keyboard and mouse work off a single USB plug-in, which leaves other ports available on my computer. I've used Logitech products for many years, and this latest purchase represents a really good value that works well, exactly as advertised.

It feels like a purposely dumbed down set - mouse

I bought this from Officeworks about 2 - 3 months ago. I bought this cheap one for work as I didn't need anything fancy. Just office typing and clicking. I have to note I have a logitech MX master for travel but some cheap older Logitech models at home, so was expecting some level of quality even for the basic ranges. Its not necessarily cheap, as you can get similarly bad mice for less than half the price if thats what you're looking for. Now the keyboard is generally fine - it is loud and the keys can cause a bit of friction itch if you type quite a bit but for the price it is ok. It has a lot of travel, which may be good for some. Its fully solid plastic but hey, I shill think its pretty decent. Response is decent and as expected (only tested for office work, ... MoreI bought this from Officeworks about 2 - 3 months ago.

Great for annoying colleagues with the noise if you type fast. The mouse however is a real let down. Its not responsive, not accurate, not precise, drags horribly across regular work desks (in comparison to other Logitech mice) and requires extended dragging to move on the screen. After a day of using it, hurts the wrist. I'm writing this because i now have finally decided to head out to get another set or at least another mouse.

Keyboard needs better design

Cool to only need one USB port for both devices. For some reason I thought I would need two ports so that was a surprise. Keyboard buttons are not too touchy but also not stiff. Mouse is a little small but expected. I’m upset there is no power switch for the keyboard. There is, however, a power switch for the mouse. If I only want to use the mouse, I have to put the keyboard somewhere out of the way so that it won’t get touched or used. Seems really flawed. This is for a home office and I have kids so I can’t just set this aside or else they will take it, use it, and interact with my PC. The caps lock and num lock keys does not have a light so you don’t know when it is engaged or not. The function key is on right side instead of left so this is annoying as a ... MoreCool to only need one USB port for both devices.

Laggy typing and generally missed letters

I bougt this about a moth ago, and despite readi the reviews about lagginess and letters not correcty typing, I dismissed this as my other Logitech keyboard at hoe has none of these issues. I beieve it is the speed of typing and lag affecting the missed letters rather than the key connection. If you are reading this and wonderig if I can even speak/type English, this is the keyboard missing my letters as I type - it appears to mostly be the 'n's, 'l's, and 'm's. Ofc you can correct i emails or documents with autocorrect, but when messaging (eg. Slack) or completig forms, it make you appear incopetent. Buyer beware. I like the feel of the keyboard, and the ouse is fie for the price, just the frustration of missing letters meaning you constantly have to go back and ... MoreI bougt this about a moth ago, and despite readi the reviews about lagginess and letters not correcty typing, I dismissed this as my other Logitech keyboard at hoe has none of these issues.

[No correction made in this review - this is demonstrative of how your typing would be wit the keyboard]

Like my work-provided one so much I upgraded home

I was provided this for my work laptop set up. I have been taking it home with my with my laptop to work from home, rather than use my wireless keyboard and mouse I have there, as this is much cleaner and easier to type on than my cheaper keyboard at home. I've just bought myself the same set up for personal use at home so that I can use this set up anywhere - the keyboard feels great to type on and it feels like a much more premium product than the ones I've been using at home which were barely cheaper. The reviews on this product surprise me a lot - sounds like maybe a bad batch? Our business runs around 100 of these combo kits, all purchased over different times over the last 12 months, and have never had to replace a single one to date.

Logitech was my go to brand till this.

I used to use logitech products and recomend them to my customers because even the bottom of the range were good reliable items, I even wrote a good review for this one, but 3 months on i'm afraid to say this is one of the worst, cheap and nasty kb and mouse sets I've used, buttons on kb are getting harder to hit, the mouse turn on and off randomly, the mouse buttons all do the same thing (ie left click) when they do work, the mouse is very unresposive and wont wake on wheel turn, the reception distance is poor. So far the only good thing is battery life. To me this was a huge let down, I just can't get over how Logitech have gone from really good to really really bad...its sad really.

Looks ok but keys squeak and stick soon enough..

Construction guides vertical key motion by surrounding keyframe and over a few months, keys stick against frame from high friction of the plastic causing a lot of squeaking, but it is highly variable. The problem does not go away and only grows worse over time. If you hit a key slightly off centre it sticks and requires additional force and if you hit dead centre it goes ok, resulting in highly variable force requirements from one keystroke to the next, the end result being that you have missed characters and so forth. Another problem is the basic design. I have largish hands (being a bloke and all) and my fingertips cover a key entirely. Because there are no significant gaps between the keys, even a slightly off centre keystroke will hit two keys. The result... ... MoreConstruction guides vertical key motion by surrounding keyframe and over a few months, keys stick against frame from high friction of the plastic causing a lot of squeaking, but it is highly variable.

So this is a noisy, squeaky, poor performing keyboard, quite annoying to use. Overall - poor mechanical design and poor usability design. Not worth the money paid. Will not buy a Logitech keyboard again, though once upon a time they designed well thought out products, but seems to be a fading memory. Being cheap is no excuse for being garbage.

Mouse stopped working after few months

This thing worked great! Until one day it did not. First, the positive: The keyboard is smooth and typing quite comfortable. Loved it and it worked well for a few months then one day the mouse stopped working. No problem, I though: I'll just return it to Office Depot. HAH! Office Depot quite blithely informed me that electronics are covered for 14 days, after that, if it stops working, you are out of luck! Oh, you can pay them more money when you buy something, then if it stops working they will replace it. I may be crazy, but I expect that when I buy something, it will work longer than two weeks, and if it doesn't, that the people who sold it to me would take some responsibility. Office Depot does not. This product sucks, BUT OFFICE DEPOT SUCKS EVEN MORE FOR ... MoreThis thing worked great! Until one day it did not. First, the positive: The keyboard is smooth and typing quite comfortable.

This product sucks, BUT OFFICE DEPOT SUCKS EVEN MORE FOR RIPPING ME OFF BY SELLING ME JUNK THEN LAUGHING WHEN I TELL THEM IT BROKE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING USE. I guess the new business model is: Sell people junk and hope they'll just buy more when it breaks, oh, and charge them to replace the junk they should not sell you in the first place. I give this product one star, I GIVE OFFICE DEPOT NEGATIVE FOUR STARS.
