Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me first just say that I'm a huge fan of Logitech Devices. I own Logitech gaming controllers, gaming headsets, and several keyboards and mice. My go to mouse is the M510, to which I own 6 around the house and at work, and I have at least five MK235 mouse and keyboard sets set up at my house to teach coding to a small group of kids. I'm afraid Logitech missed the mark on this MK295 set. True to the primary advertised feature, the keyboard is silent. The mouse clicks are also silent. I also like that the keyboard is full sized, but streamlined to not take up much real estate on my desk. In contrast to the MK235 keyboard, the MK295 keyboard has a power switch and a Caps lock light. But that seems to be where the positive qualities end. Laying the keyboard on my desk, it seems like the keys are angled away from the user. While there are flip out legs marked with 8 degrees, that angle is more than I'm looking for. After examining the keyboard further, the bottom row (CTRL, Windows Key, ALT, Spacebar, etc.) keys are convex and sit just a little higher than the rest of the keyboard. Typing on the keyboard takes more effort. The amount of travel of each key seems to be more than I'm currently used to. While the keystrokes are silent, they provide more of a rubbery membrane feel and don't have a comfortable bounce. I also feel that I have to push the keys harder than I'm used to. The membrane seems to be a little more resistive to movement. The media keys at top of the keyboard are even harder to push. The keys of the keyboard are retro style. These days, I prefer the island style or even low-profile/laptop style. I feel like those styles make it easier to keep clean. I did notice that the MK295 keyboard seems to have 9 drain holes at the bottom. Presumably, if you were to spill a drink on this keyboard, it would be fairly easy to drain and dry to get back to work. Fit and finish of the keyboard was slightly disappointing too. Just above my F10, F11 and F12 keys, there seems to be a bulge. I tried to push it in, hoping it was just a clip that wasn't engaged. I can push it in to where I hear a click, but as soon as I release, I hear it release with an unclick. There is also a "silent touch" logo on the space bar that I don't care to see. The mouse is travel sized but contoured well. Left and right mouse clicks are very quiet. The wheel click is louder, but what really surprised me is that the scroll wheel noise seems to reverberate in the body of the mouse. The resulting noise seems to be amplified and sounds a little like the mouse wheel is scraping against plastic. If a quiet keyboard and mouse experience is your only criteria, the MK295 might be the set for you. As for me, my wireless dream team currently pairs the MK235 keyboard with a M510 mouse or M190 Mouse if I don't need the extra functions.

Just like you all, I wanted a silent keyboard and mouse. After 2 months, the keys most often used get just as loud as a regular keyboard. The keys less often used are still very silent. Bummed out. Would be 5/5 if it stayed silent.
