JLab Audio is an American consumer audio manufacturer that was founded in 2005. The JLab "GO Bundle" consists of a GO Mouse & Keyboard that are designed to serve as lightweight, easy-to-operate travel companions. The keyboard & mouse have a quality feel, professional appearance & are attractively priced.
This combination is extremely flexible; I connected them to a Mac & PC; they performed flawlessly. Clearly marked letters in blue on the keys: "Mac", "Android", "Windows" provide instant access. The keyboard & mouse function using Bluetooth; RF is also available using the included USB receiver. This receiver is stored next to the battery in the mouse when not needed.
The keyboard features a "Media Dial"; multiple presses control Track / Forward, Play / Pause, & enable Volume control.
The mouse is small, which is ideal for requiring minimum travel space. The DPI resolution is instantly selectable by the button on top of the mouse.
CONCLUSION:
The JLab GO Bundle is my favorite travel keyboard / mouse. Both keyboard & mouse use readily available alkaline batteries, so you are not dependent on built-in rechargeable batteries. I highly recommend this JLab Go Bundle!

Let me start by saying - I’m incredibly picky when it comes to my mouse and keyboard. For context, I was a designer for over 10 years, and once you find your perfect setup, it’s incredibly difficult to be happy with anything else. Unfortunately, my preferred keyboard and mouse combo aren’t exactly the most portable…enter the JLab GO Bundle.
Keyboard:
This keyboard offers incredible value for the money. It has pretty much every feature you could want… except a backlight - which is totally understandable at this price point. You can easily switch between multiple devices with the click of a button, control your audio with the media dial, and even toggle between Mac, Android, and Windows profiles.
Oh, and bonus points: there’s even a slot in the battery compartment to store the optional USB dongle. Love that.
As far as build quality goes - it’s totally fine for most people. The keys feel a little mushy, and the sound is a bit clunky, but let’s be real -this isn’t designed to be your daily driver. This set is called “GO” for a reason - it’s meant to be portable and convenient. Think of this keyboard like a Toyota Camry: it’s not flashy, but it gets the job done.
Mouse:
The mouse, on the other hand, is just okay. If you have larger hands, you probably won’t want to use it for long periods of time. I’d say my hands are average-sized, and even for me, it’s not something I’d want to use every day.
That said, I do love how soft and quiet the left and right clicks are. I’m not a fan of mice with loud, obnoxious clicks - and this one is super stealthy. If you’re using it in a coffee shop, rest assured you won’t be getting side-eyes from everyone around you every time you click.
Final Thoughts:
All things considered, this is a fantastic option that won’t break the bank but still delivers most of the features you’d expect from something much more expensive. I’d absolutely buy this again - and I’m looking forward to trying more JLab products in the future.

The JLab - Go Bundle Mouse and Keyboard Set is by far the best little portable mouse and keyboard bundle I have come across to date. I have had a couple of Bluetooth Keyboards that I used with separate Bluetooth Mice in the past that were okay. However, they did not have the feature set and the nice fit and finish that the JLab Go keyboard has or a matching mouse. The first thing I noticed about the keyboard is that despite it’s small footprint, it still has good-sized keys on it. My large hands appreciate that and I really like the media scroll wheel as well to quickly adjust the volume without trying to figure out which keys to use. I have been using this set with my Samsung Tablet and it has been flawless. The keyboard always translates what I am typing on to the tablet quickly and the mouse is very responsive as well. It is so nice to have a keyboard and mouse when you are trying do any kind of work on a tablet. This little set up with an 8 or 10-inch tablet is great and is about the most portable and lightweight set up you can go with and still get stuff done.I see a lot of businesses using tablets these days, especially Doctors' offices. If I were in that situation, I would definitely be getting one of these to do work on my work tablet when the patients were all gone. For anyone that is looking for a small portable combo kit to go with their tablet or even to use with their Samsung phone and Samsung Dex. For those who do not know, you can use Dex to pair your Samsung phone up with a large screen for a computer-like interface, whether it be a TV or monitor. The set has two separate Bluetooth connections you can set up with different devices on channels 1 and 2 plus a 2.4 gz dongle you can plug into a USB Type A slot. So I would say it is pretty versatile for whatever use case you may have. For the price you can not beat this JLab keyboard and mouse.

The JLab GO Bundle Keyboard and mouse combo is a very compact keyboard, with flat laptop style keys. The setup is seamless, just plug in the included USB wireless 2.4 GHz receiver and let Windows detect it. Then install the included AAA batteries and turn the on/off switch on the keyboard and you’re in business. The keyboard is pretty small, laptop sized, about 11” wide. Additionally, there is a row of function keys that also allow you to quickly control common music player functions, volume and mute, launch apps like calculator, camera, search, etc. There is also a cute little volume knob in the upper right corner. The numbers 1-3 keys are also used to connect and switch between 3 different devices, when pressed together with the Fn key. This is where this keyboard shines. I have successfully connected it to a Windows 11 PC using the RF USB dongle assigned by default to device key #1, then my Sony Google TV via bluetooth to device key #2 and my Android phone using device key #3. I’ve also tested it with a Chromebook and an iPad and they all worked flawlessly. This keyboard is also pretty silent. It does feel different than other mechanical, more clicky full size keyboards, but that’s to be expected, since it’s a very slim, laptop style keyboard with very little key travel. One feature that would have been nice would be key illumination, but that would probably drastically reduce battery life and increase price. The mouse is pretty basic and can also connect to 3 different devices, just like the keyboard. All in all this is a very affordable, practical keyboard and mouse combo well suited for travel or couch surfing on your smart TV or any other use case you and your devices can come up with.

Nice small keyboard/mouse solution. Excellent for the price.
However, the keyboard times out. I'm assuming to save battery life. So, when you start typing again, it misses the first few key strokes as it wakes up. If you get in the habit of hitting the shift key a few times after a pause in typing, it's not a problem. The keys are a good size that fit my large hands and it's your typical membrane feel on the key stroke. It's not my favorite keyboard but better than the laptop keyboard. It fits easily in my briefcase and is wireless.

The JLab Go Bundle is a no-frills keyboard and mouse combo that gets the job done without much fuss but with a maximum of care. Both the keyboard and mouse have a matte black finish that looks clean and modern, though the plastic build feels lightweight—not cheap, but definitely not lux, but almost premium. It’s a no- nonsense, easy to clean finish. Setting it up is straightforward: plug the included USB dongle into your laptop or PC, and you’re ready to go. The keyboard and mouse pair instantly, and there’s Bluetooth support for connecting to tablets or phones, or your computer if you don’t need high speed gaming latency.
The keyboard is compact and slim, making it easy to toss into a bag for on-the-go use. The mouse is equally portable, with a small footprint that’s great for tight spaces.
The low-profile keys are quiet and have a decent tactile feel for typing, though they’re not as clicky as mechanical keyboards. It’s perfect for casual use: emails, essays, productivity work, or intermittent typing. There's no RGB lighting or programmable keys. The layout is standard, so there’s no learning curve, and the keys are spaced well enough to avoid typos. I personally thought that the key strokes were of a good length but they’re rubbery with a fairly unsatisfying terminus. There’s no snap, the key just ends. This is not “bad” it’s just a little less premium because it doesn’t feel robust.
The mouse is basic and functional. It tracks smoothly on most surfaces, and the scroll wheel has a satisfying click that isn’t annoying or distracting. The DPI is fixed so you’ll have to use the driver or settings to get the precision you’re looking for, but it’s fine for everyday tasks and then some. Both devices run on AA batteries, which can either be convenient or annoying depending on your preference (I personally like this). The mouse is the champ between the two devices. The click is very easy on the ears. It’s not as silent as a Pebble but it’s
One standout feature is the multi-device support. You can pair the keyboard and mouse with up to three devices via Bluetooth, which is handy if you’re juggling a laptop, tablet, and phone. This is becoming more regular and I’m glad to see this in the feature set.
I was so impressed with the packaging. I could see a lot of care in the wrapping and protection. It felt unusually careful.
The keyboard and mouse work right out of the box with the included dongle and switching between devices is as easy as pressing a button. The mouse fits comfortably in smaller hands and I felt very comfortable. The keys on the keyboard have a soft matte texture that resists fingerprints, which is a nice touch.
The lack of customization software means you can’t remap keys or adjust DPI settings, but that also means no bloatware to install.
Drawbacks
The keyboard does lack backlighting, making it tough to use in dimly lit environments for those that don’t touch type.
The mouse’s build feels a bit hollow. If you’re used to ergonomic designs, this setup might feel too basic for long work sessions. However, it is definitely not a detraction from work.
Conclusion
The JLab Go Bundle is a solid choice. It’s not flashy, but it delivers reliable performance for typing and casual browsing. The portability and multi-device support are big pluses, though the lack of backlighting and keeps it firmly in the value realm.
If you’re looking for a simple, no-nonsense keyboard and mouse that won’t break the bank, this bundle is RECOMMENDED.

Needed a portable keyboard and mouse for work and stumbled across this hidden gem! Found it at the second location I went to and it worked better than the first purchase I exchanged for this! Turned me into a JLab fan for sure!

Pretty good. Use it for my Legion Go S and it first perfectly within the carrying case, I do have a Legion Go S Killswitch case and travel cover and with all these it fits in the Legion Go S. Overall 10/10 would recommend, comes with bluetooth and a 2.4g dongle which works for both the mouse and keyboard.

The setup was just a little confusing. The devices work great once you get it done, but the little instruction booklet could have been a little more help. Very light and perfect for mobile use.

Excellent features for the price. Connectivity is seamless, you can use the dongle or Bluetooth and switch between the two. Excellent for the price. I would give this a 5, but the Mouse has minor problems with click and drag. Except for that it's near perfect.

This was just what I was looking for to elevate a tablet. Now I can take notes in meetings without having to lug around my huge laptop. They fit right in my large tote. It was super easy to connect to the tablet.

First time ever buying a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, for the price it was I wasn’t expecting anything too crazy but I was wrong. It can connect to your pc via Bluetooth OR the usb dongle, and I can pair it to my phone or iPad as well with the Bluetooth. Responsiveness is great, haven’t had any issues so far.

When using the provided wireless dongle, it works as well as could be hoped, no notable connection problems, and for a shallow value oriented smaller form factor keyboard, types reasonably well. Only difficulties I encountered were during attempts at connecting through Bluetooth, where I had trouble getting the keyboard to work properly.
