Logitech specializes in peripherals whether for work or play. The great thing about their products is that they offer variety and quality at different price points.
The Logitech MK250 wireless keyboard and mouse is a combo that is of great quality at a decent price. It does lean heavily toward a productivity set, rather than a gaming one (since Logitech G is the one that specializes in the latter).
Design & build
Design-wise, Logitech opted for a classic and simple look. It features a matte finish that will look clean in any setup. The Rose colorway adds a touch of vibrance for anyone seeking more color. Otherwise, you can get the more classic colors depending on your preference.
Seeing as it is geared more towards productivity, the keyboard comes in a full-size layout. This means that you do get a numpad if you want to crunch numbers, and arrow keys for easier navigation. Despite the full-size layout, the design is still compact and space-saving, ideal for any set up.
The keyboard is made of plastic, and is admittedly quite light. However, there are no signs whatsoever of it being cheap or fragile. In fact, it’s actually robust and features spill-resistance for that added peace of mind. I have a coffee cup on my desk every morning, and not once did I ever fear spilling any liquids on the keyboard. Still though, make sure to be careful either way.
It is worth noting that both the keyboard and mouse are made from recycled plastics. That way, Logitech is able to create both sustainable, and also durable, high-quality products.
The keyboard included in the set is a membrane one which allows for a softer typing experience. Personally, I am more used to mechanical keyboards and I prefer the sensation they provide. But I did find the experience on this keyboard to be pleasant.
While the keystrokes are far from the tactile feedback of mechanical keyboards, I found them to be quite satisfactory in terms of feel. When it comes to the auditory feedback, I actually quite like how audible it is since that’s what I’m more used to.
For improved ergonomics, the keyboard is built with adjustable tilt legs. It provides for a 7-degree typing angle for more comfort. Overall, the keyboard is built well and allows for maximum comfort for that improved workflow efficiency.
The mouse has an ambidextrous design, so both left-handed and right-handed users won’t have a problem using the it. The way it fits in your palm is also snug, so the usual or standard mouse grip works well (for those with small to regular size hands). On either side, you can also find a sort of ridge design for added grip.
Connectivity & compatibility
No USB dongles needed here. Both the keyboard and the mouse are paired to your devices via Bluetooth. The only trouble here is that if the Bluetooth connection isn’t working perfectly, or if the battery runs out of juice, then there’s no other way to use the set. Wireless range is also capped at around 10m.
In terms of compatibility, the combo set can be paired with devices running Windows 10 and later, macOS 12 and later, and ChromeOS as well.
Battery
To power the keyboard, you will need two AAA batteries, while the mouse requires one AA battery. Batteries are included with the set, and are rated for 12 months of battery life for both devices.
Verdict
The MK250 keyboard is perfect for any home or office setup. It’s clean, complete, yet compact and has a long-lasting battery life. Personally, this was my go-to device at the office, since I didn’t want to bother anyone with how loud my mechanical keyboard can get.
The best part is, you can get the Logitech MK250 Wireless Combo for only Php1,499. Improve your set up with this simple and functional combo, without having to break the bank.
