Logitech Wireless Combo MK520 Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Review

Today I am checking out the Logitech Wireless Combo MK520. This new wireless mouse and keyboard combination launched not too long ago and offers compact design and nice features. If you are looking for a new wireless mouse and keyboard on a budget, the...

Cheap ; Accurate ; Works very well

Incurve keys feel a bit strange

The Logitech Wireless Combo MK520 is a great budget wireless desktop from Logitech that will be great for your average PC user looking to work without wires.

Logitech Wireless Combo MK520 review

Sitting in the middle of Logitech's keyboard and mouse range, the MK520 makes a good first impression. The keyboard's keys are quiet and offer just the right amount of resistance, making them extremely comfortable to use. They are also sunk into the...

The MK520 is an excellent value keyboard and mouse set, which is incredibly comfortable to use.

Severe lag issue

Googled the problem, and have found reports of this issue dating back to 2006. Yikes! Logitech occasionally chimes in with level-0 tech support (lip service), but no solutions ever. Try a different model, or a different brand.

It's a good price, and I've always had a good experience with Logitech

Severe lag issue, especially in games. Unifying receiver is within 1/2 meter, and all fresh batteries. All drivers up to date. No other transmission sources within 3m. Characters typed are hit and miss... more time based than per character. Keyboard...

Replacement Bad Also

I wish there were a firmware update that would correct this issue. My rating has gone down to one egg now.

The mouse is great. I like the design of the keyboard, but I'm not a touch-typist or even a good keyboarder

This is my second keyboard, and it started out good, but now it lags. Logitech just sent me the replacement with minimal problems or questions. That now makes me think they know there is an issue ; I never had a problem like this with Microsoft...I...

Fail design

Removing this model from our purchase list. I like Logitech historically, but I fear they are trying to play to the bottom of the purchasing curve. We don't live there, so I guess I need to find a more professional model.

Inexpensive - works ok for the most part

No numlock indicator ; Logitech thinks I should load an application to enable an onscreen indicator that the numlock is on ; That's a paddlin

Great Mid-Range Combo

It's pretty cool that the mouse and kb have on/off switches. The price I paid was great ($40). You can't go wrong with Logitech either. I've never had a bad device made by Logitech.

Build quality is solid ; Fast response time ; One tiny USB receiver for both the mouse and keyboard ; Mouse is smooth and keyboard keys are bouncy, but not overly bouncy

Not really a Con, but the keyboard could use more media hot-keys, and maybe some programmable keys ; Keyboard is a bit bulky

Great combo

Flexible positioning of keyboard and mouse ; No wires to get in the way ; Comfortable keyboard

I have 3 at work and 1 at home. Took away 1 star because the "Ctrl" key sticks on 1 of the 4. The other 3 work great

Not Too Shabby

Great little setup. It was cheap, and runs off of 1 usb connector

the mouse leaves a lot to be desired. I use this as my work setup, and while the keyboard is great, the mouse could use some work for sure. I might be replacing it as it's just not quite amazing
