Logitech MK220 Keyboard & Wireless Mouse

Logitech MK220 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

The Logitech MK220 is a compact, budget-friendly wireless keyboard and mouse set designed to save space, reduce cable clutter, and provide essential functionality for casual and office use and is available at Mobihub Electronics Kenya. Its key selling points are its small footprint, long battery life, and reliable wireless connectivity.

Keyboard Features – Logitech K220

Design and Layout

• Compact Full-Size Layout: The keyboard includes all standard keys (including the number pad) but in a condensed layout. It omits or compresses some spacing (like between function keys and navigation cluster) to reduce size by roughly 36% compared to traditional keyboards.

• Low-Profile Keys: The keys are slim and slightly concave, with soft-touch plastic for comfortable typing. They’re quieter than mechanical switches but not completely silent.

• Space-Saving Design: The keyboard’s smaller footprint is ideal for desks with limited space, and it complements minimalist setups.

• No Adjustable Tilt Legs: The keyboard sits flat with a fixed angle, which may or may not be ergonomic depending on user preference.

Build and Durability

• Plastic Chassis: The keyboard has a lightweight plastic construction with decent rigidity for its price point. While not rugged, it’s suitable for everyday office and home use.

• Simple Aesthetic: A matte black finish with white keycaps ensures easy readability and a clean appearance.

Wireless Connectivity

• 2.4 GHz Wireless Technology: The keyboard uses Logitech’s unified 2.4GHz wireless system, offering a reliable connection up to 10 meters in typical use cases.

• Nano USB Receiver: Both keyboard and mouse connect via a single tiny USB receiver, which is compact enough to be left in a laptop without obstruction. It is not Bluetooth, so it requires an available USB port.

• Interference-Resistant Signal: The wireless connection is designed to minimize delays, dropouts, and interference, providing a near-instantaneous response.

Battery Life

• Extended Battery Performance: The keyboard can last up to 24 months on two AAA batteries under typical usage. Battery life varies with usage intensity and environmental conditions.

• Auto-Sleep Function: The keyboard enters a low-power sleep mode when not in use to extend battery life.

Mouse Features – Wireless Compact Mouse

Design and Ergonomics

• Compact Size: The mouse is small and portable, best suited for small to medium-sized hands. It may feel undersized for prolonged use by those with larger hands.

• Ambidextrous Design: The symmetrical shape allows use by both left- and right-handed users, though there are no side buttons or ergonomic curves.

• Matte Finish: The top surface is smooth and comfortable to the touch, while the sides offer a slight grip.

Buttons and Wheel

• 3-Button Layout: Left-click, right-click, and a clickable scroll wheel. There are no programmable buttons or advanced features.

• Scroll Wheel: The scroll wheel offers basic vertical scrolling with a tactile feel—not free-spinning or advanced.

Tracking

• Optical Sensor: The mouse uses a standard optical sensor with a DPI likely around 1000 DPI, which provides smooth and precise cursor movement on most non-reflective surfaces.

Battery Life

• Long Battery Life: The mouse can last up to 5 months on two AAA batteries, depending on usage.

• On/Off Switch: Includes a manual power switch on the bottom to help conserve battery when not in use.

Additional Features & Compatibility

Wireless Receiver

• Logitech Unifying Receiver (non-Unifying in MK220): The MK220 typically uses a non-unifying nano receiver—meaning it supports only the paired keyboard and mouse that came with it, not additional Logitech devices.

Plug-and-Play

• No drivers or software installation required; it works right out of the box with most systems.

System Compatibility

• Windows OS: Fully compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.

• Linux: Basic support available (may lack function key mapping).

• macOS: Basic functionality works, though some key labels may not match Apple system functions.

Ideal Use Cases

• Home Offices

• Minimalist Desk Setups

• Student Workstations

• Portable Office Kits

• Point-of-Sale (POS) Systems

Limitations to Consider

• No media controls or customizable function keys.

• Not ideal for gaming or heavy professional typing due to compact key spacing.

• Mouse is small for extended ergonomic use.

• Not compatible with Logitech’s “Unifying” receiver ecosystem (if it’s the standard MK220 variant).
