It just works!By Gadget Geek
Perplexed. A keyboard and mouse combo designed for laptop, NOT the desktop. I did a double-take when I received this Logitech MK320 review unit and saw that Logitech's target market for this product is for the laptops/notebooks/netbooks. I recently purchased the ASUS U43JC-X1 14-Inch Bamboo Laptop (10 Hours of Battery Life), so was searching for a wireless mouse. I knew I would get a lot of use out of the mouse but questioned whether the keyboard would be of any use. After using it for a few weeks, I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised!
Before getting to the review, I should note an error on Amazon's product page (that is correct in Logitech's documentation). The keyboard utilizes (2) AAA batteries while the mouse uses (1) AA battery. Logitech includes pre-installed alkaline batteries for both units.
SETUP:
Setting up the keyboard/mouse combo was a breeze. Taking the devices out of the box took more time! Running Win7, I just plugged in the receiver and the system instantly recognized both devices. Every time I start the computer and plug the receiver back in, there is absolutely no noticeable lag time for the keyboard/mouse to start working. This was certainly not the case with the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Mac/Windows, where it took a few seconds before I could begin using it.
KEYBOARD:
The keyboard has all your standard keys with several extra shortcut keys. Shortcut keys include Window Toggle (allows you to toggle between open applications), E-mail, Home Page, Music/Media, Show/Hide Desktop, Music Shortcuts (Back, Play/Pause, Next), Volume (Mute, Increase/Decrease), Calculator, and an extra backspace above the number pad. There are also a few special function keys such as turning off the computer, locking the computer, and other functions that I have yet to figure out.
The keyboard is also advertised as spill-resistant, though I hope I won't need to test that feature.
MOUSE:
The mouse is about the size of most notebook mice. It has a left and right button with the scroll button that also doubles as the middle button when clicked. Though I am right handed, it feels comfortable enough using it with my left or right hand. The battery indicator light is situated just below the scroll wheel between the left/right buttons. The receiver snaps onto the bottom of the mouse just above the ON/OFF switch. I pack and unpack my laptop and mouse at least twice a day and the receiver has yet to come loose. The bottom of the mouse also has a battery cover release button.
The one thing lacking, more common with desktop mice than notebook, are page front/back buttons.
BATTERY LIFE:
I've only used the wireleess keyboard/mouse combo for about 3 weeks now so cannot attest to the advertised 15 months of keyboard battery life or the 5 months for the mouse. However, as I am a heavy user, it has worked very well thus far. There is a battery life indicator on the mouse, which has yet to turn on, and none for the keyboard. For the aforementioned Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse, I would be on my second set of batteries by now.
HOW I USE IT:
As I noted above, I wasn't sure if I would get much use out of the keyboard. My new laptop has Intel's new Wireless Display (WiDi) technology and HDMI, so I have been using it to watch videos on my TV. While my laptop sits on my desk, I'm able to control it from my couch.
PROS:
- Excellent battery life
- Convenient shortcuts
- Receiver snaps into the bottom of the mouse
- Spill resistant keyboard
- Mouse battery cover is very secure. Not prone to pop off unless you press the battery cover release button
- Receiver snaps on securely to the bottom of the mouse
CONS:
- Included batteries aren't rechargeable
- No battery indicator on the keyboard
- Mouse does not have forward/back buttons
CONCLUSION:
Though this wireless keyboard/mouse combo is targeted for laptop users, it should serve desktop users just as well. At a relatively inexpensive price, this combo delivers excellent battery life, great performance and convenience, and good value. I would recommend this to anyone, even for those that are just looking for a mouse as the keyboard adds considerable convenience!
EDIT (9/19/10) - After about one month of daily usage, the mouse battery just died. Not bad I'd say, but far from the advertised 5 months. I'll try with some decent rechargeable batteries and report back!

I like itBy K. Swanson
This is certainly the promptest Vine review I've done; I got this keyboard 20 minutes ago and am using it to type this review. I'm the third reviewer of this item, and the other two don't seem thrilled by the small mouse, and one of them also by the keyboard. But I've got to say I like them both just fine.
The keyboard has a number of very cool features, chief amongst them the special feature buttons up top. They let you instantly access your home page, your email page, scroll through all your open pages and pause to open any of them, and my favorites: the music buttons. There is a mute button (super useful and beats scrambling to find it on your screen when some website suddenly blasts you), ff and rw buttons, and up and down volume buttons. Plus there's a wmp button that opens it instantly; you can get your tunes going mighty quick with this keyboard. And that's very useful indeed if you listen to music constantly.
As a freelance writer who's used many keyboards I enjoy this one, and I write at about 2,000 words an hour so I need a crisp touch; the keys here bounce back at the rate I like them to and I can type very quickly. Zero complaints. If I have any as I use this over the next week or month, I'll definitely edit this. If there's nothing after this sentence in parentheses, then I still like it! The tabs on the bottom top of the keyboard raise it up the right amount, not too little as with many wireless kbs.
Not all of us realize that our laptops and computer screens put out a fair bit of radiation, and if you ever get tired sitting in front of one or (bad idea) having a laptop on your lap, that's why. These things emit enough rads to slowly damage your immune system, as anyone who's used one for hours on end and noticed serious fatigue can attest. The electronics---which put out radiation that disrupts your system---and the eye strain from the screen being too close are both health issues (which of course you won't read much about, as with the now omnipresent cell phone rads). This is the best thing about wireless kbs: they let you sit farther away from the laptop and its screen and thus lessen the strain on eyes and body. VERY useful, and this lets you spend much more time on the computer with much less discomfort. If you use a computer at work try a wireless kb and see what a huge difference it can make, also by letting you raise the screen to be level with your eyes instead of making your neck crane down all day.
For those with a PS3 or other console with internet on it, a wireless keyboard will also let you sit on the sofa and easily use your tv screen as your computer screen: a very nice feature indeed. This kb works from far across my room, as does the mouse. Nice.
As for the tiny mouse, yes, it's rather small, and I haven't used it enough to see if it will wear out my hand as the other reviewers claim. I'm not exactly small---6'2"---so we'll see. So far it feels fine. I like its tight circle...you move it a tiny bit and it covers the screen, so it's not like you're rolling it all over the desk to move the cursor. And as a guitarist I kinda like the workout for my right hand fingers, which should help my hybrid Travis picking.
All in all, this is one of the better wireless keyboards I've used, and for the price, with mouse included, it seems like a good deal.

4.5 stars - Good value, easiest set up ever and delivers on it's promises.By J. Lee
I went in to OfficeMax to buy the MK300, which I already own - and found that this new upgraded one was the only one available. Generally, I can barely tell what changes have been made in Logitech upgrades (I owned previous versions before the MK300, as well). But, this one truly surprised me. Here's the main changes, and ups and downs of it, to me:
1) THE BEST SET UP EVER! PLUG IN THE FLASHDRIVE AND IT'S SET TO GO!
There used to be a little button that you had to push on the mouse and key board to sync it with another attachment hooked to your computer, which was sometimes tricky. No more of that and no more having to load software.
2) The flashdrive automatically sets up all your function keys
Unlike previous versions and other ones, where I had to go in and assign the appropriate pages and programs to various keys - on this one everything automatically brings up the right pages for function keys. The downside is if you want to customize them to something different (I don't - since they've picked exactly what I would have) it sends you to the logitech site to download software and adjust your settings.
3) Mouse/Keyboard design: The mouse is a little smaller than before. Still works though as one of the best basic wireless mouses I've used, and it does include a battery check, and on/off switch on both the keyboard and mouse that haven't always been there.
4) Battery Life: All the batteries are included. This one promises longer battery life. The batteries on the previous version generally gave me a couple of months for the mouse and seven months for the keyboard - which really was fine. If this one meets that, I'm happy.
5) Long Range: I can stand over 12ft. away from my computer (in another room!) and the keyboard still works. (I just can't very well see what I'm typing.)
BOTTOM LINE: For those that prefer "prettier sets" and a fancier mouse at a higher price- this might not be the best choice. But, if you just want a wireless set that's easy to set up, use and works like it's supposed to at a good value - with the new improvements, I'm not sure this one can be beat.
