Logitech S520 Cordless Desktop Keyboard and Laser Mouse (Black/Grey) review: Logitech S520 Cordless Desktop Keyboard and Laser Mouse (Black/Grey)

 

Logitech S520 Cordless Desktop Keyboard and Laser Mouse (Black/Grey)

Easy-to-access hot keys, simple installation.

Extra-deep wrist rest limits living room friendliness.

It's hard to get too excited about Logitech's basic Cordless Desktop S520, but on close inspection, a few design elements help it stand out. If you typically find keyboard hot keys a good idea that's poorly implemented, we think you'll like this mostly...

Logitech Cordless Desktop S520

 

Before I get to general usage and such, I want to clear something up. Perhaps I misunderstood Logitech's marketing of this product, but I was under the impression that this was "the perfect companion to your flat screen" - as in, flat screen...

Logitech Cordless Desktop S520

 

Want a premium-brand wireless mouse and keyboard set on the cheap? Logitech might have just the thing.

The LX5 glides along smoothly on almost any surface thanks to four broad Teflon feet. On the bottom are 'connect' and 'on/off' buttons, along with a catch that releases part of the mouse's top so that you can insert AA batteries. It is unfortunate that...

Easy-to-access hot keys ; Simple installation

Extra-deep wrist rest limits living room friendliness

Otherwise, there's not much else to say about the Logitech Cordless Desktop S520. The USB receiver is a bit bigger than a standard USB dongle, but not overly obtrusive. And as usual with Logitech input devices, you don't need to install the SetPoint...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

"Lasted less than 2 years like last Logitech keyboard"

 

You'll find lots of complaints about keys wearing out prematurely on these. This keyboard is rubbish! It was a replacement for my last Logitech keyboard which also died after 18 months, so not impressed with Logitech products

Worked OK initially

Some keys started getting sticky after about a year, eventually needing several hard jabs to work (& yes I tried cleaning them)

Just Eh

 

Do not buy if you plan to use for HTPC system. I am complaining and I only paid in the twenties for this setup.

Attractive thin design for HTPC

Purchased for HTPC system. The connectivity issues that others stated on this site are dead on. Your system must be 3-4 feet within the sensor and staring at it to get it to work. Logitech failed on this part. I will be selling this one off and getting...
