I hate that I love this keyboard
Keyboards wear out. This is the 3rd time I have bought this particular model. The first time I wore out the num-pad Enter key and retired it to the back room computer, but in a freak accident it got soaked. The last one just died after years of use… just… died… So this time I diligently checked to see if anyone out there had a keyboard that would replace this particular style… Sadly, no one else had anything that was acceptable.And what are my criteria? Well, first, it has to be wireless. I’m sitting across the room from the actual computer, and cords are a trip hazard. Next, I want easy to access volume controls. I don’t want to have to fumble for the FN and some dimly printed F key combo, and this keyboard provides that in the upper right hand corner. The 3rd criteria is the Calculator button. I’m pretty terrible at maths and need a pop-up calculator at the touch of a button… it should go without saying I’m also going to need a number pad too. Oddly enough I prefer using disposable batteries as built-in rechargeables stop holding a charge sooner than later. Finally a traditional layout with traditional key-caps (eg no chiclets, arrow keys must be easy to use, etc…).And after nearly two decades, this is the ONLY keyboard that still meets all my criteria… AND I LOOKED HARD TOO.So for better or worse, I bought this keyboard again. Somehow I doubt it will still be available the next time I need a replacement, but hopefully someone out there will have made a keyboard that can meet all of my criteria.I just wanted to add that the mouse is decent enough. It usually wears out looong before the keyboard does, but I got plenty of those things hangin’ around so it’s not a big deal to me. The main thing I’m concerned with is the keyboard.

Unsupported Model / Keyboard Layout
Update 02/2025:”MK335″ is not on the Logitech website. (Rufus seems to acknowledge that fact.) Since the keyboard has no indicator LEDs, I tried to set up the onscreen (and then audible) indicators. They seem to work for Num Lock and Scroll Lock, but not for Caps Lock (the one I wanted most). It might be a driver issue, but since its not on the Logitech site it’s unclear what support software goes with it. Is this a one-off Amazon-only model?Original:My bad. I didn’t look at the keyboard layout closely before ordering. I have a number of (wired) Logitech and Amazon Basics keyboards and all have similar layouts. I wouldn’t have thought it would make much difference but I’ve learned I use these keys without looking often. I’m hoping I can adjust in time.I also found the mouse, an M310 to make more noise when using the scroll wheel than other’s I have. The one I’ve used daily for 5 years is pretty silent. Per Amazon’s instructions before asking for a replacement, I called Logitech and “scrolled” while on the call and CSR thought it was likely damaged. The replacement is as noisy, and doesn’t feel as smooth as the 5-year old one.I think I’d have been happier frankly with a Logitech MK270 (which I’ve had in the past too).

Works really well with my old Acer.

Edit Mar 7/21: Logitech customer support was helpful and easy to deal with. They sent me another set and though the mouse wheel is still a bit noisy the keyboard and mouse both work as they should.Edit Feb 17/21: The keyboard started lagging and/or not working at all intermittently after a month, and the mouse occasionally lags now but the scroll wheel has gotten quieter and more responsive. After trying every tip and troubleshoot possible I’ve found nothing that fixed the keyboard issue and it had been very frustrating to try to use it since it typed nothing much of the time. As of today the keyboard has stopped working at all and I’m using my ancient keyboard to type. I’ve bought Logitech products for many years and recommended them to everyone, until now. I would not recommend this set, there are now many bad reviews online and the intermittent issue is very common.Original review: Bought this set to replace my 10+yr old Logitech set. The keys are quite loud and feel a bit loose and the plastic housing feels cheaper than the old one, but it’s laid out well and I like a full size keyboard. The mouse is also quite loud, especially the scroll wheel, and feels less well made than the old one. Everything works, but I’ve only had it a day so can’t speak to longevity

I like that there’s a second backspace key over by the numeric pad. If you input a lot of numbers this is great to have. Also my previous keyboard had an insert key right beside the large backspace and I was constantly hitting it (how often do you need insert?).The mouse is a mouse but I do note that it doesn’t have a red light shining out of it when you pick it up so it may be better on batteries.Overall, very pleased.
