Logitech MK200 Media Combo Wired Keyboard and Mouse, Full-Size Keyboard with Easy-Access Media Controls, High-Definition Optical Mouse, Plug and Play USB Connection – Black

I'm an old school Mac guy, but avoid Apple peripherals (external hard drives, keyboards, wifi, etc) wherever possible. Not just because they're often insanely overpriced, but also because when Apple steps out of its core competency, quality takes a beating. Especially keyboards! Them puppies are as pretty as can be, but more fragile than D Trump's ego. One time a single drop of sweat rolled off my forehead and landed on my keyboard. The whole thing short circuited, sirens went off, and the ghost of Steve Jobs reached thru the screen and began rifling thru my pockets for $200 bucks. Anyway, this keyboard is great. The keys are light to the touch, responsive, do as told. I'm a fast typer, this keyboard does not slow me down. As a writer, I prefer keyboards/mice that plug in so that I don't lose momentum by being forced to go searching for batteries, right in the middle of a hot streak. Haven't tried the mouse yet, plan to keep it as a spare. This keyboard is not fancy, but it's cheap, works well, and does the trick. I also have the Logitech K120 and have been using it for years on another Mac with zero issues. The K120 is even cheaper, but it lacks the media buttons on top (volume up, volume down, etc). That's kind of annoying, hence the reason I bumped up to K200 this time. FOR APPLE USERS: Yes, the MK200 will work for you... even the volume buttons. When you plug it in the first time, a message will appear on the screen saying your computer needs some help recognizing it. All you have to do is press the buttons it asks you to press and then you can use it. Quick and easy! If you want the modifier buttons on the MK200 to work exactly as your old keyboard, you will have to swap the positions of the Command and Option keys. To do that: 1. Open "System Preferences" 2. Click "Keyboard" 3. Click "Modifier Keys" 4. Change (see attached screenshot): ---- Option Key to Command ---- Command Key to Option After that, all your quick key shortcuts will work as they did on your Apple keyboard. Hope that helps! UPDATE: Today is August 12, 2020... almost 3 years to the day since I bought this keyboard. I returned to this page so that I could buy another one for a dif computer. Since I was here, I thought I should go ahead and update my review. The original keyboard? I'm *still* using it!

My 18 yr old keyboard died. This has been a great replacement. I really like having the extra shortcut keys, the volume keys have been the best!

As a lifelong Logitech fan, I’m thrilled with my new-to-me keyboard! It’s got the classic comfort, quiet precision, and rock-solid build I’ve always loved. Seamless connectivity and ergonomic bliss make it another Logitech gem. Pure perfection—Logitech, you’ve got my heart forever! --5/5 Stars! -- It is a usb model that is plug and play-- no hassles whatever! My old one lasted for several years without a single glitch....these are inexpensive and just pure computing gold as far as I am concerned. Logitech keys never stick, the positioning of the keys is such that I can type at least a hundred words per minute seamlessly, it is a usb wired model and I find that usb tethering always work a lot better than wireless. I will always choose Logitech.

Both keyboard and mouse work great! I love the mute, volume, and especially play/pause buttons laid out at the top of the keyboard. Very handy! Only ding would be that I wish it also had previous/next track buttons but definitely not complaining. Very ergonomic, easy to type layout and size on the keyboard. Mouse works great, as it should.

Great product for good price

Works perfectly. I mean I got used to the ol keyboard setup waaaaay back in the day, so this one is fantastic like an old friend. I really like it

Got this to be able to connect to my older desktops. Just cleaned out my office's desktops that were over a decade old, and these came in clutch. They connect via USB, and the set is a full-sized keyboard and mouse. The typing experience is comfortable and decent for all-day work. The mouse is responsive, and there are no signs of lag. Already dropped the mouse after a week, and it just went about its day as if nothing happened. These are surprisingly durable in build quality and worth it, especially for being priced below the 20-dollar mark.

The mouse works fine but the keyboard is a piece of crap. I purchased it on December 29, 2019 and received it during the first week of January. It worked fine for the first couple of months, but come March I started having problems with the keys not working. It started off with the "n" key. It just stopped working. I hit the "n" and nothing would happen. I blew the dust out of it and vacuumed it trying to fix it. That helped for a few days but the problem returned. Then I started having trouble with the "r" key. Then the "left shift." Then the "space." Then the "h." I got so frustrated I put my fist through it destroying it. I have never had problems with any other Logitech products I have purchased (and there have been several), but I'll tell you this--if this is any indication of the present quality of their products, they are a company in trouble. I went back to using my old Microsoft keyboard that this keyboard was supposed to replace. I had been using it for 10+ years--so much in fact that many of the letters have worn off the keys. But mechanically, it still works perfectly. 10 years vs. 2 months. CRAP! I'm not going to say that I won't ever buy another Logitech product again, but I will say that I will certainly consider other brands more closely from now on and I will no longer consider myself a loyal customer of Logitech. Can you tell? I'm very dis-satisfied with this purchase.

I've used it for over a month now and I really enjoy using it

I've been happy with this purchase but after a few months the mouse went wonky and I had to replace it. They're an inexpensive set, though, so I'm not surprised or really upset. The keyboard is holding up well. Probably the mouse just got lint in it, if it were easy to open and clean it would be an excellent improvement.

The MK200 is one of the best standard wired keyboards around. All keys work and have excellent return ability. Even has a dedicated calculator button that most keyboards removed. I just wish Logitech would make the keyboards on their own in mass production. I would definitely buy all mine here.

In Past I have used various Logitech Brand Keyboards and this specific Keyboard has bad quality and key finishes. It worth for temporary use for the kids

Needed a new keyboard/mouse and was going to buy the lesser combo for $24.99 but ended up buying this combo because it has audio buttons at top of keyboard and I especially liked volume control on my old keyboard so I bought this combo since it has it. Used it for a few weeks and I love it. It's a basic keyboard/mouse combo, did I mention that mouse is a decent seize, I highly recommend it.
