While it’s not the best buy for someone who’s looking to extensively game on it, it’s a very versatile mobile mouse and keyboard that more than makes up for its downfalls with an insanely affordable price. If you’re looking for a deal, then you won’t find a better one then the Logitech MK270.
Portable and Plug and Play
At just over a pound, the Logitech MK270 Wireless Combo includes a keyboard and mouse that incorporates the same reliable 2.4 GHz connectivity that eliminates delays, dropouts, and interference with a 30-foot range of motion. What comes in the box is a full-size spill-resistant keyboard, a carry around mouse, a Logitech’s Unifying receiver, batteries for mouse and keyboard, and the user documentation. Both devices are plug ‘n play (on Mac, Windows, and Chrome OS), so you can simply plug the low-profile receiver into a free USB port and you’ll be wirelessly typing and navigating in no time.
Long Battery Life
Both keyboard and mouse are powered by batteries so you can go for months without the hassle of changing batteries. The Logitech MK270 Wireless Combo connects to your PC using Logitech’s device-networking receiver that allows you to sync your keyboard and up to five additional compatible peripherals at once. The computer instantly recognizes both devices using the Unifying receiver without any software installation and allows you to perform basic typing tasks with reliable wireless connectivity.
Great For Workstations
I use a 17 inch Dell workstation, so my laptop isn’t exactly the type of gadget to keep on the lap. I was having trouble with all the extensive typing required for my job, so I decided to spend some money on a wireless keyboard. I spent some time researching for a value for money combo and after viewing reviews on MK270 Wireless Keyboard, I decided to go in for a quality brand like Logitech because typing is very important in my job and I didn’t want any low-quality product that would eventually give up on me one day.

rsz_102603568_02_222430d3-9249-4b2f-8e26-a8baa12b0dc9
For a full-size desktop keyboard, the MK270 is pretty decent, and it feels light and sturdy in the hands. The keyboard design is spill proof and has multiple drain holes. The keys themselves are low-profile, and it feels good enough to type reasonably fast. After a few days, I was able to get my preferred words per minute without any trouble because the keys have great travel time between keystrokes and they are very quiet and comfortable. The keyboard contains all the standard keys along with a row of eight designated hotkeys at the top edge of the keyboard frame, which gives you one-touch access to your media applications, calculator, internet functions, and PC shutdown. I usually handle most of my devices very roughly, and with all the extensive typing any keyboard suffers serious abuse in my hands. But so far, the keyboard is doing well and providing a decent response.
Logitech MK270’s Mouse
rsz_02603568_01_fe5fa250-ae0e-418b-899e-53985bdbce7d
The mouse also provides a decent experience and is a fantastic spare when you need one most. It’s lightweight and very accurate for a wireless mouse. It has an ON/OFF switch on the back side and the battery compartment, which uses 1 AA battery, also contains a section to keep your receiver in case you’re not using it. The mouse comes with an invisible optic laser that means you can’t see the light, which is a bit uncomfortable but it helps to save some battery. But overall, the mouse feels good in the hands and it does the job well, and that’s about it.
If you’re trying to game with the mk270, then this mouse be a little lacking in features. If you’re looking for something to game with, then check out my good cheap gaming mice list.
Other Things I Liked About The MK270
What I really liked about MK270 is that it comes with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-Bit Encryption that guarantees all your private keystrokes protection from evil-doers, which I think is a very good feature because the wireless devices can be easily hacked by experienced hackers nowadays. The company also provides an extra software for button customization for both Windows and Chrome OS but unfortunately not for Mac users.
The company also provides an extra software for button customization for both Windows and Chrome OS but unfortunately not for Mac users. The software is not required for basic functionality but depending on your personal setup, you might want to visit the website for SetPoint that lets you customize F-keys, hotkeys, and even mouse buttons. For such a low price, the MK270 offers a sturdy wireless keyboard that provides an accurate full-sized typing and a decent mouse experience, without the lag and cheap plastic afflicting most wireless keyboards.
Logitech MK270 For Gaming
I know a lot of my readers are gamers, so I think it’s important to talk about how the Logitech MK270 combo performs when gaming. If I had to give a quick summary, I’d say that it’s good for people who’re going to be playing action games with little to no macros needed. If you’re looking for something with a significant amount extra buttons to key bind your abilities too, then you’ll be very disappointed with the MK270.
This combo shines, when you’re looking for a wireless plug and play mouse and keyboard that’s more spacious than your current setup. If you have a desktop, I wouldn’t recommend this for gaming, but If you have a laptop, this could be a great alternative to just using the laptop’s cramped trackpad and keyboard.

So you buy this keyboard and mouse. At $20, it's very affordable. The keyboard is powered by two AAA batteries. The mouse is powered by a single AA battery. There is a minor gripe to be made here, and that is, "why do I need two different kinds of batteries for two things in the same box? The keyboard isn't any smaller for using smaller batteries, there's no point." Oh well. That just means you have to buy two different kinds of batteries (a one-time purchase if you buy rechargeable ones.)
They each have their own ON/OFF power switch, and they communicate to the computer through a USB dongle that only sticks a little more than one-quarter of an inch from the port (or a little less than one centimeter.) If you desire, you can choose to turn off either of the devices without impeding the other's performance. If you have another mouse you prefer, you can use that in conjunction with this keyboard. Or you can use the mouse in conjunction with a laptop's built in keyboard. And if you own a desktop and are paranoid about hitting the dongle and breaking your USB port, you can put a USB port inside of your computer's case with a little adapter that plugs into a USB header on your motherboard.
The keyboard itself is about what you would expect at this price point. It has all the keys you need, as well as a number pad and some media keys (pause/play, volume, etc.) The little "A" next to the power switch also lights up when Caps Lock is turned on. It would be nice if it also had an indicator light for Num Lock. The keys aren't too loud, and are pretty responsive, though it's not always clear when you've pressed the key down enough for the board to register the input. The keys have a fair amount of travel, and a fair amount of wiggle. If you want a keyboard that's a little bit more consistent at recognizing your keystrokes, you should save up a bit more.
The mouse is even more basic than the keyboard. That isn't a negative point, because it isn't meant to do more than it needs to do. You have your standard left button, right button, and clickable scroll wheel. The wheel scrolls up or down, and doesn't feel as good as other mice within its price range. If you need a wheel that also tilts for lateral scrolling, you'll have to look at another mouse. The mouse is an optical type, but doesn't have an annoying glow when you lift it off your desk. Within the battery compartment, there's a little slot you can store the USB dongle in for storage. Nifty. The mouse doesn't drop inputs the way the keyboard does, so I will probably be using it more than I use the keyboard.
Overall, it's pretty good for $20. Since the set is made by Logitech, it will probably last a long time. It's also extremely easy to use. Literally plug and play.
Top reviews from other countries
Lives up to its advertised 24-month battery life. It's been two-and-a-half years and this keyboard is still running on the stock GP batteries it came with. Simply amazing. Granted I flip off the switch most of the time before I leave the desk, but I doubt it made much of a difference.
Everything still works. Some people in the review sections have experienced quality issues and that's unfortunate. But I think most customers who are satisfied don't really write reviews. Like me and my father, for example. We've both had this K270 keyboard and haven't had any malfunctioned keys or broken clips. At first I thought the printed keys would rub off over time but it's not the case at all, everything still looks new.
Convenient media keys and shortcut keys above the function row. Looks really dull but man, so much better than the ones that're integrated into the function keys which forces you to either hold Fn or use Fn Lock, both are compromises this doesn't have. The sleep button is especially interesting since I've never seen it on any other keyboard, can't say it's that essential to me but once in a while I decide to use the thing and it's convenient. Too bad you can't wake up the computer with it, waste of potential if you ask me since Windows always get woken up by my mouse when I don't want it to.
It's also waterproof, never had to use it but good to know that it's capable of it. That's pretty much it. A cheap, light, capable keyboard with good quality. I'm a happy camper and can whole heartedly recommend it to people who just need a no frills, no nonsense wireless keyboard that just works.
