Logitech Desktop MK120 Durable, Comfortable, USB Mouse and keyboard Combo

Comment

I cannot really attest for the mouse included (seems like a decent low cost standard mouse) HOWEVER, the keyboard is a k120 keyboard. and is excellent if youre on a budget and use your computer heavily. Ive owned 2 k120 keyboards used heavily daily over a span of 4-5 years. (Theyre cheap, like 10 dollars at "fallmart" cheap.) Which is why I bought this combo. (only needed the keyboard, but wanted the mouse as a spare "just in case") There is nothing fancy about it, its a standard keyboard which will hold up to a lot of abuse. (My past two, the letters wore off the keys as I approached 13 months of HEAVY use, I do not need the stickers. and this did not alter function of the keyboard) As stated, nothing fancy, not mechanical, but it is a sturdy no frills keyboard that does stand the test of time. (An average user could probably have this keyboard working fine for 4 years. my average life span of generic keyboards is 3 months. I get about 2 years out of this model.) This is my budget friendly go-to daily use input device. (I live at my PC...) Past two k120 keyboards Ive owned, reason for replacement was the metal spring bar under the spacebar would stick/fail. (I used a temporary work around until I got the new keyboard by using a number key from the keypad as a temporary space bar.) Otherwise I wouldnt have purchased this combo or written this review. (using the keyboard purchased to type this review.)

I bought this keyboard for data entry at the store I own. For the price, I thought I couldnt go wrong with it. What I needed was a full sized full function keyboard with no gimmicks. Its a good keyboard. However, the keys are a bit too easy to press. If you are not used to it, you will be prone to making mistake by pressing the extra letter or two in the beginning. But it is all matter of getting used to. I hoped for a bit firmer keys. But for the price, Im happy with it. I only had it for a week, so I cant give you a full review on durability. But the material feels like the good grade. Im a 46-year-old clinical reviewer typing reports all day in the morning and running a business in the afternoon. Started computer programming since the age of 8. So I think I know a few things about how a keyboard should be. If I had to give a numerical score, Id give it 90%. Pro: Good value. Con: Light key. But thats really a subjective thing. If you are used to light keys, then this keyboard is it. Im giving it 4 stars only because Im used to the firmer key press. Otherwise, it would be a 5 star product.

For the price, its okay. Ive been looking to switch to a wired keyboard as wireless keyboards seem to have signal and/or connection issues frequently at my office (too many people with wireless equipment possibly). It has the standard traditional keyboard layout (especially on the Insert/Home/Page Up area), which I like. It also has the standard sized function keys without any frills, which is perfect for developing code. The keys themselves feel a little cheap (light?) even compared to other Logitech keyboards that I own. I have one main gripe with this keyboard and its that the Window key combinations dont register when you type really fast (Ive tried it with Alt with the same issues). More specifically, I am using this on a Mac and Ive set up the keyboard language change to be Cmd-<space>. However, if I type really fast, it misses it (e.g. it doesnt change the language). I havent had problem with this combination even with el-cheapo no-name keyboard. This is rather frustrating since my job requires me to switch the keyboard language constantly. I am considering returning this keyboard. Your mileage may vary.

These actually work great and the quality is great for the price. I purchased 2 of these for each of our computers and they work perfectly and are very comfortable to use. I thought they may be poor quality because of the price but was very pleasantly surprised, they look and work great. I would recommend these highly...

I got this product to go with my new gaming PC. I wanted something affordable, since Id already overspent on the computer itself, so I went with this. Frankly, at this price, you normally get what you pay for. However, Im happy to report that what I got instead was a solid, functional, no-nonsense keyboard and mouse. It seems like a better idea to buy your mouse and keyboard separately, to get the best value, but theres really no reason not to go for this, unless you need something special. The keys on the keyboard are well-spaced and seem sturdy enough. The mouse lacks some features that gamers might want, but is still excellent at what it was intended to do. Im not sure what the DPI on this thing is, but it serves adequately for clicking peoples heads until they die, which seems to be the point of the entire FPS genre. A couple things against this product: the little protrusions on the F, J, and numberpad 5 keys that identify them to touch typists could be a bit bigger. When Im looking at the screen and searching for the home row at the same time, it takes a bit longer because I dont always notice those keys. Also, as I mentioned earlier, the mouse is very feature-sparse. It has two buttons and a scroll wheel, but no thumb buttons or adjustable DPI. This doesnt matter for most people, but I will be buying another mouse for my gaming and keeping this one for other purposes. I shouldnt have tried to game with this basic mouse, but it is still a good one for what you pay. Overall, Im happy with my purchase. I am now the proud owner of a well-designed keyboard and (so far) reliable backup mouse. Ive only had these things for a couple weeks at the time of writing, but if something terrible happens, I will edit this review with my new opinions.

Both the keyboard and mouse are made with lower-quality workmanship that I am accustomed to with Logitech. Ive been purchasing Logitech for over 15 years. I was changing over computers when I got it. The mouse was immediately sticking with the light going off and necessitating a reboot of the computer. Over about two months the mouse got worse to finally struggling to move the cursor - sticking and hard-pressing on left click, liights out (shaking it), ligtht giving out all together requiring reboot. Th emouse has a gray wavy piece for design. It is made like garbage. The keyboard is requiring harder strokes in only two months. It makes more noise than normal. Amazon gets 5 stars for refund and customer service. I got the Logitech M500 to see how that goes. Im very disappointed in Logitech for this key/mouse combo. Amazon continues to be stellar with customer service and all.

The keyboard is great. For the price, the mouse is like a freebie almost, so thats why Im not more upset. This was ordered to replace a nasty, old, dug out of the garbage just for me, keyboard at work. This is a lot better than that, nowhere near as nice as the mechanical keyboard that I use at home, but its quiet and it looks appropriate in an office setting. For not being a mechanical keyboard, it still types well and has a nice key weight. Very pleasant overall. Now on to the mouse. The mouse glides well, it clicks well. The cord is adequately long for me at about 5 feet when stretched out (Estimated, not measured). The problem is that the scroll wheel is rough and noisy. My first thought was to oil it like you would a door hinge, but then realized I would probably just ruin the mouse completely. Sooo, the keyboard is a keeper, but the mouse is going in the garbage.

We bought almost 20 of these and immediately had problems with a few of the mice and keyboards. Every week a few more have problems :( * Mouse doesnt move well. * Left, right, or both mouse buttons stop working. * Scroll wheel problems. * Mouse not recognized. * Keyboard feet break. * Keyboard keys are mushy, especially spacebar. Were going to have to replace all of these. What a waste of time.

The keyboard doesnt have the solid quality feel of the old IBM keyboards, but its 15% of the cost. For a mass produced electronics item, the quality is very good. Im typing this review on the keyboard and Ive had it for months. Its difficult to wear out a Logitech keyboard, even their lower priced keyboards. Im amazed that they can produce such a quality product at such a low price. The value is off the chart. I dont ever bother looking at other manufacturers. Installation is plug-and-play on my Ubuntu Linux system, for the mouse and keyboard. The only way this could be any better is to make the mouse magically repel cat fur. As it is, every couple of months, the mouse response will become erratic. Ill spend a couple of seconds pulling out a bit of lint or cat fur from the LED pocket underneath the optical mouse and its as good as new. While this is a subjective assessment, the keyboard action is just about perfect for me. I wouldnt hesitate to write the great American novel using this keyboard. If I wore it out, or more likely killed it by dumping a mug of tea into it, I wouldnt hesitate to buy another to replace it.

This is the keyboard that I have been looking for. I had a D*** keyboard for about 3 weeks and the keys were sticking already, and the backspace and space bar had failed. Typing an article was an adventure in frustration. This one is delightfully sensitive but well built. I can totally fly when I am typing something. It is built strong like the big old clunky keyboards, but with sensitive keys, a reasonable footprint, and medium light weight. I love it. I havent tried the mouse yet, I have a super high DPI gaming mouse that works good. I did need to go into the Win7 control panel and delete the old keyboard to make this one work right. As soon as I did this installed instantly and worked great. I believe that to be a Dell/Windows issue, not a problem with this keyboard. Again I just love this keyboard. At this price I might just buy another one for the shelf for a backup.
