Logitech Wireless Combo MK360 – Includes Keyboard with 12 Programmable Keys and Wireless Mouse, Compact Package Perfect for Travel, 3-Year Battery Life

Comment

This is not the Logitech K360 keyboard I was expecting. Is this a knockoff? Texture on keyboard is different. It is not a Logitech Unifying product. The keyboard is responsive to the touch. The mouse (M185) is compact and the school wheel has very slight click to click mode (not as distinct as other Logitech mice). The last two K360 keyboards I have bought had the Logitech Unifying technology. This one does not. I purchased because my other K360 keyboards as so nice and I can pair them with what ever logitech unifying devices i want to use. This keyboard and mouse do not allow that kind of freedom.

Good quality keyboard, I like that it’s a little heavier than a lot of wireless keyboards you see, which I prefer when trying to use on my lap or bed so it doesn’t move around as much. It has more of a “fixed keyboard” feel to it, if that makes sense? I didn’t realize it camewith the little USB receiver; I thought it was a straight Bluetooth keyboard when I bought it. That said, it has super easy setup, literally plug and play (with Windows 10 anyway). I think it took 15-20 seconds and it was ready! The negative column is the fact that the key aren’t lit, which really does make a difference-for my purposes anyway. The only other thing is that it seems a kind of odd size to me. It’s too big to be a compact keyboard and too small to be a full size keyboard, although it’s closer to the latter. It may be better for people with smaller hands or skinnier fingers, or no arthritis or carpel tunnel, lol. No real complaints on functionality, I should have shopped around and really thought about what I wanted, but that’s not the keyboard’s fault. I give four stars because it was a good price and good quality wireless keyboard, minus two stars for the odd size/weird and slightly uncomfortable ergonomics, as well as the lack of back lighting. ***Oh, a note in the plus column is that it actually came with batteries! (However my last keyboard was rechargeable, which was great to not have to worry about batteries at all).

I just ordered my fourth keyboard of this model, because it is the only model Ive found that has the right combination of size, weight, clickyness, etc. without straining my fingers. I have rheumatoid arthritis and Ehlers Danlos syndrome and wrote about 300,000 words of fiction last year, and the difference between this and my laptop keyboard is HUGE. This is really well designed. It takes a lot to break one, and of the four Ive had, Ive only had the one just stop working, and that was after a year or two. Ive used these when my shoulders were bad by using two at once, one on each side, so I would not have to type at the midline, and theyre MUCH cheaper than a split keyboard, not too big, and easily manageable in that configuration. My setup is in a lift/recliner, leaned back, feet elevated, Laptop above me, and I type with this on my belly (if I was thinner, Id need a pillow to put it in the right position, but this works well for me) and even when I had 29 joints flaring at once, and my hands hurt like hell, typing didnt actually hurt worse than not typing on this keyboard (but did on my laptop keyboard.) The unifying software is great, however, if you are using two keyboards at once, you will want to use two receivers, as putting two keyboards on one receiver resulted in a lot of duplicate/missed letters. It works flawlessly to type with two hands on two keyboards with two receivers. The bounce of the keys is just right without requiring much pressure to use. The spacing of the keys is perfect--I do not have small hands, and I really love this keyboard layout. Its more spacious than the laptop (15.6 inch, not small) keyboard, and much more compact than most separate keyboards.) Ive taken one of these apart before, and theyre really well designed to minimize damage from spills. My keyboards get dropped a lot due to kids, and these are quite resilient to that. ETA: Probably going to buy a couple more of these--hubby is now using the second one and my sons is starting to get too sticky (not the keyboards fault). Main gripes after years of using: 1. Letters wear off. I tried applying new stickers to one but they were a sensory nightmare. I touch type but my son doesnt yet. 2. The print screen button needs to be its own thing, not a function key. Ridiculous. Still the most comfortable keyboard. Good size, good weight, far easier than anything else. Survives being dropped and carried in bags. Good battery life (though not as long as indicated, Id say I get... eh 3-6 months? Enough to be surprised when it stops working, not long enough to be shocked.)

This is a great keyboard and an ok mouse.... I spent 20 minutes chatting with Logitech support about why it didnt come with a Unifying Receiver. Apparently Logitech have changed the product, but didnt tell anybody. The customer service rep I talked to had no idea either. We couldnt figure out why it wasnt Unifying compatible. In other reviews, people have guessed that there might be a batch of counterfeit keyboards. I went to a local brick-and-mortar store and found that none of theirs were Unifying compatible either. The simplest explanation is that Logitech changed the bundle, but didnt update the website. I ended up picking up the K360 keyboard (which is Unifying compatible). It is exactly the same keyboard but with a glossy top (I liked the matte version from this one better) more Fkey functions (the keyboard with the MK360 only has a few) and a Unifying receiver. I love Logitech and have used their products for year, but this is just disappointing. It seems dumb to get so worked up over a receiver but my wife borrowed my favorite mouse (a Logitech M510) and I was going to trade her the mouse that came with this bundle for that mouse.

This keyboard would be absolutely perfect if it was wired. There are not many compact numpad layouts. Most notable one might be Cooler Masters Quickfire TK (now Masterkeys Pro M I think), but they lack separate arrow keys. This layout also includes dedicated volume controls, and you can use Logitech Setpoint to change the other macro keys and disable keys like Caps Lock and the Windows key. I also experience no ghosting while gaming yet. I really doubt it has N-key rollover, but so far I just havent had any trouble with whatever common ghosts you would run into. I think design-wise, this is pretty much perfect for me. Biggest problem with it is that the connection drops out maybe once a day. Sometimes a couple seconds, but today was the last straw, as it went in and out sporadically for about five minutes. Of course it will always happen at the worst moments. It is also pretty picky on where in my room it will decide to work or not. Ive read up on what can cause issues like this ... and, well, I just cant figure out what could possibly be the problem, I am not ticking any boxes here. Ive changed batteries several times, just in case, but it never helped. Hit or miss, some people never have problems, other people do. As a gamer, I am never going back to using a wireless board as my main driver, learned that lesson. I havent talked much about the mouse yet. It suffers from the same problems, but its just a very basic mouse, nothing interesting. I personally only use it for when I am in bed watching netflix, which is also what I will relegate this keyboard to from now on. I still like it quite a bit, if only it would work when I really needed it to.

I decided to insert a link from now on to all my reviews. Way? I have been noticing reviews about products that are none related to ones search, they might be to an extent, similar, but are different by model number, there for totally different. Thats why reviews crash between each other. They are talking about the same type of product but totally different model. They can even look the same but are not. Therefore the quality is not; as well. Logitech Wireless Combo MK360 - Includes Keyboard with 12 Programmable Keys and Wireless Mouse, Compact Package Perfect for Travel, 3-Year Battery Life One of the reasons i bought this combo, was to try out if it would connect with a universal dongle, but it does not So if you loose it, your keyboard and mouse, are no good any more. You would have to get a replacement from Logitech. I like the matte finish on the MK360 more than the K360, the K360 is to glossy. Fingerprint magnet. They are very similar but still different on; the MK360 does not have universal dongle connection. The K360 does have universal dongle connection, that is if you have one your self or use the the one that comes with it. The style of keys, is only a matter of getting use to, on booth models. The keyboard display on the K360 because of its glossiness makes it more difficult for the eye to refocus on a key,(light bonces back on glossy materials) while the MK360 matte finish makes it easy for the eye to refocus on a key. Both models are plug and play, no lag, 2.4GHz signal, the K360 has 3 dedicated buttons for; REV,PLAY,PAUSE,FWD. The MK360 in the same location has HOME,MAIL,CALCULATOR. just to name a few (key) differences.They are very similar, but still very different in appearance and key display, with a long battery life. So claims Logitech. only time will tell that one.:)

Its smaller than my other board and mouse which is great for small hands and its light weight and it seems to work fast and accurately and soundlessly (This is my 1st try at posting with it). Note the delete key is in a different places.The really BAD part is that were were NO INSTRUCTIONS! Also it came in just a plain cardboard box. Above it shows it comes in a greenish box...with pictures on the front of what is included...Mine came in a plain box with 0 instructions. Im almost a total nerd (not in a good way) about computers. I thought it was missing the receiver (which for those of you who dont know it...like I didnt....the receiver (also called a dongle) is stored and hidden in the mouse and you must take that out of the mouse and plug it into a USB port on your computer or keyboard. Just take the mouse cover off and there you will find the receiver/dongle. Luckily for me my husband knows a lot about computers and was able to hook this key board and mouse up and it ran immediately. The really big problem for me was that there were no instructions and I thought the receiver was missing and I was going to send it back to Amazon, but when my husband got home he showed me where the receiver (which is also the dongle, for those of you that dont know this). Also be aware, to hook up this keyboard and mouse, you must turn off your computer completely. Look on line for good instructions. Its pretty simple, just plug and play for the most part, but if you are a newbie like I am to the actual working of the hardware....you need to read good instructions first, before you buy this unit. As for the unit, it works well, pressing the keys are easy & quite, with quick key response. As for the seller ...A for quick delivery, but ...F for 0 instructions. My recommendations, If you know computers and how to hook up the hardware, its a good buy (and Im quite happy with the keyboard and mouse...NOW that is hooked up and running)...but if you are a newbie or a senior with limited knowledge...make sure you find easy instructions online or buy from someone who will provide you good easy to follow instructions.

After much debate and trying to find an ergonomic keyboard that was comfortable to type with and that it didnt strain my hands too much, I settled with this one. Even though it is not described as en ergonomic keyboard, I find this comfortable enough. Its a full sized keyboard in a compact size. It fits my space perfectly. I had bought the MK360 package from Amazon, but had to return it as the USB receiver was not the Logitech Unifying type (falsely advertised), but just a standard USB receiver. So, I bought this one that has the Unifying Receiver and also the M570 ergonomic mouse. This way, I only need to have one USB receiver plugged in and forget about the rest. The build quality is great for a $20 keyboard. If you want a less plastic feeling, than go invest more. But at $20, this keyboard is great. I decided to keep the film covering the gloss finish as, although pretty, this attracts fingerprints and dust. The type-style is soft. It doesnt take much effort to press each keystroke. This is an "island-type" keyboard, meaning all the keys are separated, like little islands. It has great function buttons that work right out of the box. They are quitter than other keyboards, but they could be a little more silenced, but hence the plastic and the price. So, at $20, I am not complaining. I would not pay any more than $20, though. If you made it this far, thanks for reading my review!

Exactly what I was looking for. The graphics card in our computer has an HDMI output, so we run a cable under the floor until it pops up right behind our big screen TV. Works great, but It seemed like we were living in the 1970s every time our wired mouse and keyboard forced someone to make a trip to the computer to change tv shows. Wireless mouse and keyboard are now on a coffee table next to the sofa: problem solved. I like: That the compact profile is perfect for a coffee table That you can rewind and fastforward a streaming video from the keyboard. That you can raise, lower, or mute the volume from the keyboard. That the keys are not packed too closely together for a "compact" keyboard, and typing feels pretty natural. That said, if I wanted to type a thesis or a novel I would do it on the full sized keyboard at my desktop. They should tell you the USB receiver is inserted into the cardboard packaging of the keyboard. It took me about ten minutes to find it. However, it seemed like the future had arrived when I finally plugged the gizmo my desktop. It went onto the internet, downloaded its driver, and in a couple minutes the keyboard was fully functional. It worked like a charm, and I got the warmest fuzziest flashback to the first time I ever used a remote control to change a tv channel (I guess that statement betrays my age a bit). Its nice that they give you two AA Duracell batteries for no extra charge. I dont like the on/off switch. Its so tiny you have to move it with your finger nail, and it doesnt really "click" in place. Im not sure, but I dont think theres a timed auto shut-off to save battery power, so dont forget to shut the thing off.

Let me start by saying that I am a little bit of a peripheral enthusiast. My wife would say that I own much more than I need in that area. I have also become quite a Logitech fan over the last decade, with most of the products I have purchased still working. When the opportunity to purchase this keyboard for the price of a wired keyboard, I bit. At my desk currently sit 3 different Logitech Keyboards all serving different needs. This one is my newest and current favorite for the following reasons: The size is perfect. It is not as large as my Wave Ergonomic keyboard, leaving valuable space beside me for my mouse to the right and my smartphone to the left. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the Wave, but the 10-key pad to the right and the convenience keys along the top cover 90% of my needs. Being very light, I can easily throw this in a backpack or carry it anywhere that I go. It also fits perfectly in my lap, without having to move my legs wider or more narrow to support it. The power key allows you to chuck it in a bag full of stuff and not worry about inadvertent button pushes or unnecessary battery waste. The location of the Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn buttons above the 10-key make reaching all the keys much easier than if they were located between the main board and the 10-key pad. As for buttons, I initially thought they were on the small side since there is so much space between the keys. But after using it, I realized that the larger buttons were not necessary and the gaps actually gave me a better tactile understanding of where each key ends and the next one begins. They are also SILENT when typing, yet give a good feedback that the button was pushed. The pressure required is between a laptop keyboard and a raised keyboard, leaning a little more towards laptop feel. As for looks, the piano black plastic is a soothing feature, although I question how long it will continue to look decent. It does tend to attract some smudges from my hand creme. Summary of Things I like: On-Off Switch Unifying System and included new dongle 2 Duracell AA batteries included 8 degrees of tilt from the legs Convenience buttons Good button feel and feedback Compact size and light weight Things it doesnt have (not necessarily cons): Backlit buttons Rechargeable battery Bluetooth Trackpad Scroll buttons Ergonomic Shape
