A primary difference, though, between the K780 multi-device keyboard and the K850, is that the former has a groove across the top for holding your mobile devices, such as your smartphone or tablet, upright. The mouse buttons, too, assume the appropriate roles according to the paired OS.

When you pair with an Android device, the first four function keys become Home, Menu, Back, and Search. The Windows’ Alt key, for instance, becomes the Command key when you pair with a Mac. The deck and keys are arranged in a raised ergonomic contour profile, designed for comfortable typing.Īs do Logitech’s other multi-device keyboards, the K850 remaps the keys corresponding to the current operating system (OS). Once paired, you can switch back and forth between them with the press of a single button.

A key feature of these peripherals is their ability to pair with up to three computing devices– such as, say, your Android smartphone, iPad tablet, and desktop PC or Mac. Over the past few years, Logitech has offered a few “multi-device” input peripherals, including the K780 keyboard and the M720 Triathlon mouse mentioned earlier. The underside, where you’ll find an on/off toggle and a small compartment that houses an included AA battery, consists of the same off-white plastic that’s on the bottom of the keyboard. The scroll wheel is made of chrome-colored plastic, with a dark gray grooved strip encircling the edge. The right and left buttons, as well as the buttons along the right side where your thumb goes, and yet another small button just above the scroll wheel (for adjusting scrolling speed), are all made of the same dark gray plastic as the K850’s keys and keyboard deck. In addition, the deck and keys are arranged in a raised ergonomic contour profile designed for comfortable prolonged typing.Įxcept for the right and left buttons and scroll wheel, the mouse is covered with a comfortable, rubbery material, and it measures two inches high, by three inches across, by five inches from front to back, and it weighs just under five ounces. The underside of the keyboard is encased in off-white plastic and, in addition to several rubber feet, you’ll find a compartment that houses two included AAA batteries, as well as two sets of stands for adjusting tilt angles to either four or eight degrees. Combined with the cloth covered palm rest along the bottom, it measures about one inch high, by 17 inches wide, by 8.3 inches from top to bottom, and it weighs 1.6 pounds. The keyboard deck and keys are encased in dark gray (almost black). While the K850 keyboard doesn’t look much like the K780, it has much the same functionality, which we’ll get into momentarily. The MK850 combo is a knockoff of the Logitech K780 Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard, as well as the M720 Triathlon Multi-Device Wireless Mouse, two existing products that the company released a while back. While many of these input peripherals have been designed to maximize comfort and convenience, the MK850 has the uncommon ability to pair with up to three separate computing devices and switch between them with the touch of a button. Not only does Logitech offer several combos, including the Wireless Keyboard K350 & Performance Mouse MX Bundle ($135), but so does Microsoft, such as its Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop ($130) and the Wireless Discomfort Desktop 5050 (which we’ll be reviewing shortly).
If you’ve done any shopping around, then you already know that the array of available products, either keyboards and mice sold separately or combo products, is dizzying. The MK850 lists for $100, but is frequently sold for $80. If you spend a lot of time typing and mousing around, you might want to consider something easier on your wrists and fingers, such as the Logitech MK850 Performance Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Combo we’re reviewing here today. Unless you buy an upscale gaming or some other specialized PC, chances are the keyboard and mouse that comes with your new computer is boringly and often uncomfortably basic, and more than likely wired via separate USB cables for both devices.
