Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

The Logitech MK270 is one of Logitech’s best-selling wireless keyboard and mouse combinations and is available at Mobihub Electronics Kenya. It is designed to offer reliable wireless performance, full keyboard functionality, long battery life, and plug-and-play convenience, making it a solid choice for everyday office, school, or home use.

Keyboard – K270

Layout and Design

• Full-Size Keyboard: Includes a standard layout with a numeric keypad, full function key row (F1–F12), and separate navigation keys (Insert, Home, End, etc.). Great for users who do data entry or prefer a traditional keyboard structure.

• Multimedia and Shortcut Keys: Features 8 dedicated media and hotkeys, which include:

  • Volume Up / Down / Mute

  • Play/Pause

  • Home, Email, Calculator, and Sleep functions These are arranged above the function row for quick access.

Typing Experience

• Low-Profile Keys: Quiet membrane switches with soft tactile feedback. Not mechanical, but comfortable for long sessions of typing or casual use.

• Spill-Resistant: The keyboard is designed to handle minor spills, with internal drainage channels that prevent liquid from reaching critical electronics.

• Adjustable Tilt Legs: Flip-out feet at the back can elevate the keyboard angle to a more ergonomic position.

Build and Appearance

• Sturdy Plastic Housing: Durable matte plastic construction with printed keycaps. Letters are UV-coated to reduce fading.

• LED Indicators: Includes LED lights for Caps Lock, Num Lock, and battery status.

• No Backlighting: The MK270 focuses on battery efficiency, so there is no LED backlight feature.

Battery and Power

• Battery Life: Up to 36 months of battery life using two AAA batteries.

• Auto Sleep Mode: Conserves energy by putting the keyboard into sleep mode when not in use.

• No On/Off Switch: The keyboard manages power passively and automatically.

Mouse – M185 (Bundled in MK270)

Design and Ergonomics

• Compact Size: The mouse is smaller than full-size ergonomic mice, ideal for portability and light everyday use.

• Ambidextrous Shape: Symmetrical design works equally well for right- or left-handed users.

• 3-Button Layout: Includes standard left-click, right-click, and a clickable scroll wheel. No side buttons or extra features.

• Scroll Wheel: Basic tactile wheel for vertical scrolling; no tilt scrolling.

Performance

• Optical Tracking: Equipped with a 1000 DPI optical sensor, suitable for general browsing, document navigation, and office work.

• Smooth Control: Works well on most non-glossy surfaces without the need for a mousepad.

Battery and Power

• Battery Life: Runs on one AA battery with up to 12 months of usage on average.

• On/Off Switch: Includes a manual power switch to conserve energy when not in use.

• Auto Sleep Function: Like the keyboard, the mouse enters a low-power mode automatically during inactivity.

Wireless Connection and Receiver

• 2.4 GHz Wireless Connection: Offers a strong, lag-free wireless connection with a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet).

• Nano USB Receiver: Both devices connect through a single USB nano receiver. The receiver is small enough to remain plugged into a laptop at all times.

• Non-Unifying Receiver: While it looks similar to Logitech’s Unifying receivers, the MK270 uses its own paired receiver and is not compatible with other Logitech devices unless specifically bundled.

  • Windows (7, 8, 10, 11)
