Selected User Reviews For Logitech MK345 Wireless Combo Full-Sized Keyboard with Palm Rest and Comfortable Right-Handed Mouse - Black
I would have given this wireless keyboard and mouse a one-star rating. The keyboard lag was truly awful according to my experience during the first few hours. Waiting for it to wake up and accept my keystrokes takes 30 seconds. My frustration was very, very great. When I tried positioning the PC so the USB dongle was in line of sight of the keyboard and mouse, I was about to box it up and return it. It all makes sense now! It was a seamless collaboration between them both. I didn't want to use one of my front USB ports so I attached a USB extension cable to my rear USB port, but it wasn't a practical solution. This is where the USB dongle was plugged in and then the dongle was positioned out of the way of the keyboard and mouse while still being visible. This is what you should try if you are on the verge of tossing yours. I've been able to get it to work flawlessly. A delay is not expected.
This keyboard still stalls between words in spite of my trying everything recommended on the Logitech website and other websites. It seems there is no way to prevent it from not working until it decides it wants to work again (sometimes for several minutes). QuickBooks stalls between transactions when I'm using it. This problem is so frustrating that I don't want to donate it to Goodwill - nobody should have to go through this. I tried downloading a driver, trying different USB ports, etc.
MK345 Logitech Wireless combo keyboard and mouse is a basic or starter wireless keyboard and mouse, so I am evaluating it IN THAT CONTEXT (even though there are a few up-and-coming wireless combos from Logitech). The plug and play aspect impressed me right away. I simply took it out of the box (batteries were already installed), plugged the tiny nano-receiver into the USB port of the old laptop I had on hand (an old machine running Windows Vista) and it recognized and worked immediately. It takes no more than two minutes from the box to the work environment.
'TIP: It takes me a record amount of time to install any computer accessory I've ever had installed. Logitech's Setpoint software can add some additional functionality to this audio device, even though it is a plug-and-play device that does not require any drivers or software installation. This link to the review can be found at the bottom of this review. Several people have expressed their disappointment at the small size of the mouse. Due to the SHAPE of the mouse, which is different from others, this may be in part an ILLUSION. You can see from my comparison photos that it is not much smaller than other mice.
I compared two standard-size mice with a travel mouse that was very tiny. There have been comments regarding the light weight of the mouse, too. There is not a great deal of weight to either the keyboard or the mouse. If you remove the protective plastic from the keyboard, you'll see the keyboard has an attractive glossy surface surrounding the keys. There are small indentations on the palm rest which give it a very subtle texture. The palm rest has a flat finish rather than a glossy one. Besides the glossy collar (covered with protective plastic), the mouse also has a narrow white tip. Similarly, the side panel (indented on the thumb side and opposite side) has a flat sheen and a textured design similar to the palm rest's. As a result, it has a two-toned style. It is pleasing to the eye that the mouse and keyboard are complementary in design. A mouse with a right-handed grip is quite obvious here. I must point out that most people are arguing that the mouse is SMALLER than the computer monitor. This is really a matter of preference, and as I mentioned, the illusion is largely real. The size of the mouse is typically determined by what you are used to. However, I have used both large and small mice. Small mice seem to be easier to manipulate with subtle finger movements, so they're usually my preferred choice. I think the overall ergonomic shape of the pen makes it feel comfortable and natural in my own medium-sized hand, but I can understand that people with bigger hands might prefer a heavier pen. The nano receiver makes this a great mouse to use with your laptop (and for stationary use too), especially since it is small and fits into a travel bag or pocket. Besides the wheel and left / right click, there is the basic left / right click button. Unlike other mice, it does not have any extra buttons to move forward or backward through web pages, zoom, etc. Instead, it has a push button that lets you turn the wheel. By pressing this button, the mouse turns into a 4-way scroll mode, which lets you move the cursor around a page in four directions by moving it as you normally would. The cursor will again be under your control if you press again. The mouse is made of a rubber-like material, so it feels nice.
I have had no trouble with connectivity so far. An LED Caps Lock indicator is present on this keyboard, as are an on/off switch and an on/off switch. In addition, the "Control" and "Function" keys seem a little larger than on other keyboards (especially the Function key), and it seems the space bar was made shorter to accommodate this as well. Though I have not found it to be an issue for me, I thought I should still mention it. The keyboard is set at an angle with the help of the flip-out feet. I like how the palmrest is angled nicely and feels like a comfortable size, neither too large nor too small. I like how the keys are soft to press and how quiet they are. The design has been billed by Logitech as spill-resistant. There's a full range of function keys across the top with default shortcuts/media The Setpoint software must be downloaded from Logitech on their website for them to work correctly. "Advanced energy-efficient design" should render a six-year battery life for the keyboard and 18 months for the mouse based on what Logitech claims. There is no way to prove or deny this at the moment, hence there is no conclusive proof or denial. The combination is good for beginners or those who are just getting started. I don't think you can go wrong with this if you're in the market for such for yourself or someone else. A small rather than larger mouse should be the foremost point of concern (at the risk of sounding sexist, I will venture a guess and say that some female users would be most comfortable with this mouse).

Initially, this device was intended as a simple office PC and has been serving its purpose well. It appears that I can help clear your mind based on the negative comments you have read. Definitely not a dealbreaker if you have these: If you have smaller hands, a normal-sized hand, or do not use the computer often, then one of the above scenarios may apply. Did you know that there are other small things? I've got the USB dongle to go with it! This means that I can switch between computers easily, such as between a desktop/laptop in my case. I had a good response rate on my Macbook and PC desktop right off the bat since keyboard and mouse paired seamlessly. Here is a nice wireless combo set with a good price point. A casual user would probably find this useful. The Xbox One S is not intended for hardcore gamers or office workers. You would be best served to spend a little bit more and get a reliable set-up like this from a brand you feel confident in, like Logitech.
It's great to have a keyboard and mouse that work together. I found installing it to be extremely easy. It just plugs in and works As soon as I connected the devices, my laptop recognized them automatically. It was simple enough to remove the battery tabs and replace them After that, I was set. *Hehe**The keyboard has back tabs that when opened tilt the keyboard by 7 degrees. I prefer a raised keyboard over a flat keyboard for touch typing, since it allows me to use my fingertips to go through the keys. It is easy to press the keys. Although it's quiet enough, when I really get into typing it, you can hear the keys tapping. It might be bothersome for people around in a quiet office but it won't make any difference to anyone else using it. It is much quieter to use keyboards with flatter keys. The desktop on which I write). It was an excellent deal to buy this package set!.
