Customer Ratings & Reviews

The keys do not work often, you have to hit them repeatedly.

No matter where I use them, my preference has always been for wireless keyboards. As to mouse, it always depends on what I am working with. What I cannot compromise is quality, precision and reliability. The Logitech MK470 keyboard meets those requirements. It is very quiet compared to most keyboards. It feels very sturdy and heavier than most bigger ones. That is perfect because it does not move while I type. It is also very comfortable, as it does not feel small for my hands and the tactile feedback is good, especially because the keys are of normal size. The position of the cursor keys are not standard but interestingly, I had absolutely no trouble getting used to it. It felt like I had used them before. The mouse is very reliable and its weight is just perfect for most of what I do but I would not use it for serious gaming. The top is also a lid that pops up to replace the battery. I was a bit concerned about that but its strong magnet holds the lid securely and it looks and feels glued there. The whole mouse is slim but not too small. It feels good in your hands but nothing special about it This combo is clearly designed for normal day-to-day work and it does a good job there. It gave me back a lot of room on my desk. Compact and no wires. The promised 18-month of battery life for the mouse and a whopping 36 months for the keyboard almost sounds too good to be true. I would have complained because it uses AA batteries instead of USB charging but with that life span, who cares? There are no LED lights indicating CAPS or NUM locks on. You need to rely on the brief display on the screen. I still miss the LEDs but they would decrease the battery life. I think it is a good compromise. It also uses a dongle that are shared by the keyboard and mouse. It is good that it requires only one USB port. My preference would have been to use Bluetooth, which requires no ports but that has become rare for keyboards and it would probably drain batteries too. Again, it is a good compromise unless you do not have a spare USB port. The dongle (adapter) is slim and is somewhat discreet even in a laptop. Overall, I really like the keyboard but not so sure about the mouse. I ended up using a separate mouse for video/photo editing but for everything else other than gaming, I like it.

Very small and thin keyboard. Returned because it was easier to just use my laptop keyboard

It has been a few hours using the Logitech MK470 and I am happy (and typing this review on the keyboard). This keyboard was an upgrade for a wired keyboard that came with our desktop PC (but I am sure the MK470 would be fine as an external keyboard on a laptop). Setup is plug and play. No drivers, downloads, or installs. It uses the standard Logitech nano USB transmitter/receiver. Things you need to know. It has a full numeric keypad and standard sized keys but it's relatively compact. That said, I didn't suffer any muscle memory typing errors in the changeover. The mouse is dominant hand neutral - so it doesn't care if you're left or right handed. Great in my home when I'm the lefty in the family. Logitech ship the MK470 with AAA batteries and the claim about 18-36 months battery life (mouse / keyboard) which is impressive. Probably the biggest standout though is the keys are very very quiet but have great travel. It's more like typing on a nice laptop keyboard. I'm using this in our home office but would happily take this and use it at work (and I know a few angry typers at work who I would LOVE to give this to). Overall, the MK470 looks nice, frees up room on the desk, wireless functionality is perfect and you can never really fault logitech for quality. Recommended and super happy!

I'd like to return it. It doesn't work. It's so slow and gives me so many issues.

This combo has absolutely insane battery life. We are looking at well over a year before needing to change batteries. The keyboard size is just about right when talking a chicklet style keyboards. This is definitely a membrane keyboard, you can feel it with each keystroke. The keyboard is a full sized keyboard with condensed arrow keys. Key travel is about what you would expect, the keys are very shallow so not much travel before bottoming out. I have found a couple issues, one may just be my hardware but I will mention it if someone else runs into the same issue. I had the dongle attached to a USB hub, occasionally the keyboard and mouse would stop working and lock up the laptops keyboard as well. After removing the hub and connecting the receiver direct, I have had no such issues with the built in or the Logitech hardware. This happened with multiple hubs and the laptop I am using. When using a dongle for USB-C connecting the hub that way, no issues so far. It could be the laptop or another driver I have installed. My second issue, this is impossibly thin. Which can be good or bad depending on hand size. I need to sit the keyboard at the end of the desk so I can dangle my meat hooks over the edge so I can have some comfort. The mouse is also very thin and causes my XXL hands to feel like I am overwhelming the mouse and I get the nice hand cramps that come along with such a small device. If you can use a switch controller without hand cramps, you should be good with this mouse. Construction wise this is Logitech and top notch. You have multiple places to store the dongle when not in use, I prefer inside the mouse but there is also a place under the battery cover in the keyboard as well. This keyboard and mouse will find a permanent home in my work backpack. When on call it is nice to not have to use the small laptop keyboard on a 13 inch laptop. I'll probably bust it out when using my Chromebook hooked up to the living room TV when I need to do such things. I knocked one star because of my meaty hands. I did not subtract for the issue with disconnects since I think that is more laptop related than anything. I just like to document in case anyone else has the issue.

I really don't like small arrow keys. It is hard to use them.

I have had this for less than two months and the caps lock key no longer works

This is the perfect size to take on vacation or business trip. Nicely spaced keys and not much is missing from a full sized board. Battery life will have to wait to see if it lives up to the rated life. But so far so good and have not had issues with the included batteries. Pros: Light Nice key movement No issues with connection or setup it up comes with mouse and keyboard on same dongle. slim design for easy storage and packing for trips or smaller places. no skipping of letters while typing and keeps up with all my rapid fire backspacing (haha) Cons: Mouse works but flat design hurts my hand after awhile. I can't use with my hand flat so I end up with my hand "floating" above it while in use. Keyboard is not lit and letters are not pure white, so anything other than a well lit room has been a issue. Keyboard does not have a on/off switch. So like most wireless keyboards it will go to sleep to save battery. Issue is if you put in backpack or the like. It will keep turning on every time the keys are hit. Dongle storage area is very tight and you almost break it to get it in. It is only two little plastic fingers that seem to be ready to snap off. Keyboard battery area is easily dislodged and has come off a few times during transport. I still like using it. But right now I am not planning on using it in a lot of places. Instead I will put it in the second room and leave it.

After only 2 monthsthespace bar needs tobe hit harder than isnatural.

Bluetooth connection was terrible had to box up and return.

I was a bit leary when I first opened the box as the keyboard is quite a bit smaller than the one I was using. Then I realized that it is the same size as my laptop keyboard and I was good to go. It has opened up so much space on my desk and has made typing notes much easier. The F-keys are great shortcuts and I really like the images on the keys to remind you what they do. The touch is very light so typing is fast and smooth. I haven't noticed any lag time as I've done with other wireless keyboards and it can keep up with a fast typist. It is also very quiet which is great. The mouse is slim and took a bit of getting used to but now it feels natural. This was so easy to set up and there was no big download to wait for. Also, it worked in conjunction with my old keyboard and mouse which I found interesting. My only complaint is that there is no indicator when the cap and number locks are on which can really be a problem when trying to type in passwords. Having a cat that likes to walk across keyboards makes knowing if the locks are on or off important. I would also think those keys would be easy to hit if you are handling it to travel. This unit is great for the office or home computers as it really gives you extra space on your desk. It is also light and compact enough that it fits in quite well with a laptop so easy for travel. So, far, I'm loving it.

Always been a fan of Logitech products as they're pretty reliable and solid performance. This little combo set is no different. Never hurts to have one of these around the house. Obviously for your computer/laptop but this also works well if you have a smart TV with browser. The keyboard is quite slim however it has a bit of heft to it which I like. It doesn't feel like there's a piece of plastic on your lap like with some other brands. Keyboard is pretty smooth operation so no issues so far there. For those seeking a minimalist look/feel, you'll probably like this one. The mouse is okay. Personally, I think it's a bit too low profile. I prefer mice with some decent ergonomic grip to it and this mouse is quite flat compared to others. Other people may like this, however it doesn't suit my tastes. Biggest pro for this is the battery life in that this combo boasts 18 month life for the keyboard and 36 month (3 YEARS) for the mouse without needing to replace the battery. While I can't speak to this, I'm quite intrigued by this as one of the major problems with other mice/keyboard combos is the battery life lasting a few months or so before replacing the batteries. Again, pretty solid set that should appeal to just about anyone.

What's in the box ---------------- 1. Logitech MK470 Keyboard and Mouse 2. USB receiver Pros ---- 1. Super Light weight keyboard and mouse 2. Plug and play, nothing to install\ 3. Super long Battery life - 36 months for keyboard and 18 months for mouse. 3. one receiver and 2 devices (Keyboard and Mouse) 4. Super Quiet keyboard keys 5. Its beautiful 6. Comes pre-installed with batteries 7. its got a windows button! Cons ---- 1. Not a Keyboard and mouse combo like the K400r 2. No backlight. 3. Its a windows mouse, no mac support. Review ------- SETUP The setup is a breeze, just plug in the USB receiver into any of the usb port on the computer or laptop and you are good to go USAGE Its a great slim keyboard and has all the keys that a typical laptop will have. The only downside is that its not a keyboard and mouse in one like the K400r. Other than that, the keyboard is super light and very quiet. someone could be sleeping in the room and i could be typing away a novel, yes its that quiet. It has a full numeric keyboard and i think they could have eliminated it to keep it even more smaller since the number keys are already there. Instead, the number keys on the side can be substituted by a mouse and that would have been more beneficial. The good part about this keyboard mouse is the auto sleep function and it sleeps when not in use. On my earlier keyboard the K400r, i had to manually turn on and off the keys. Overall, its a good value instead of a full sized heavy keyboard and mouse. Save the real estate for something better.

The Logitech MK470 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo is great. I love the sleek, minimalist design, while still having a number pad. Additionally, I did not realize how load my previous keyboard was, bu this keyboard is QUIET! The last element I am excited about is the battery life. The mouse is supposed to last for 36 months, and the keyboard for 18 months.

This keyboard/mouse combo is perfect for the desktop setup. The keyboard is very sleek and slim not taking up any space at all and it has a full size keyboard! The keys are very precise when typing and do not have a plastic rudimentary feel to them. They have a semi firm and quiet depress when typing. The keyboard looks almost high end with a low end price. The batteries are included and has an automatic sleep mode that shuts it down when not in use and saves battery life... so there is no power button to manually turn it off saving a little time when powering off the computer and just walking away. The mouse is very small, a little smaller than I would like for my average to larger hands, but it works. The button function of clicking the right and left bottom is very slight. It almost feels like I’m not pushing the button at all, almost like a touch button of sorts. The scroll and printing motion of the mouse is very precise and has a full range of motion with the slightest movement of the mouse.... very nice. It will be replacing my previous wireless keyboard/mouse combo that has full function of buttons (volume/mute etc.) just because I really like the look, feel, and functionality of this combo that much more. A very good buy if you are in the market!

I wish I could return it, but I dont have the original box.

Keyboard and mouse are good tools for a quiet or relaxed pace of work, excellent for not intensive writing or mouse demand projects. Great space saver on the desk and very nice looking and soft materials for touching.

I've always been a fan of Logitech's keyboards, and this one is no exception. If you're looking for a solid, basic keyboard an mouse, this is a great option. As much as I want to get into mechanical keyboards, I'm usually drawn to the low-travel "chicklet" keyboards like this. This particular keyboard has a nice feel to it and ix extremely quiet when typing away. If you work in a really quiet office environment and want to avoid making your co-workers crazy, this is your keyboard! It uses a scissor-lift mechanism like the newer Apple keyboards. I'm using mine with a MacBook on a stand, even though it has all Windows markings. In a world or rechargeable keyboards I'm happy to see this one take batteries. I never remember to plug in a rechargeable keyboard at night and it's always easy to keep a few AAA batteries around the desk. Logitech promises around 18 months of life on a set of batteries. Obviously I can't confirm that for a while! The MK470 comes with a USB dongle for both the mouse and keyboard. I actually like that arrangement over Bluetooth most of the time. I have some high-end Bluetooth headphones that start to stutter when sharing bandwidth with other devices, so I prefer to keep them separate. The mouse is okay, but nothing particularly special. It feels a little light and the lower-profile mice tend to make my wrist hurt after a while. I prefer something taller to keep my hand in a relaxed position, but that's totally personal preference.

I love this little pair. I received these about a week ago to test out and have not put them down yet. I have a PC, a laptop, and a PC tablet and each have their own function in my day-to-day. The PC is mainly gaming, and I use some higher end peripherals for that one and the laptop has built ins of course. The tablet though is where I wanted to apply this mouse and keyboard and I have not been sorry. I like having the tablet out in the living room to have available for whatever while chilling out in there. We had just a mouse on it to ease use while share screening to the tv but having the keyboard and mouse combo is where it's at. This slim MK470 is perfect to leave out because they are small, sleek, and eye appealing. Or if I prefer, it is small enough to be easily stowed in my coffee table drawer. The keyboard has a 10 Key which I think is such a bonus and the lack of would have been a deal breaker. The mouse is a very basic wireless mouse, but it WORKS great. They both come with batteries installed and I get the impression I will be replacing the mouse and keyboard before the batteries die. This is a neat little combo for any desk, counter, table, or couch.
