Logitech Media Combo MK200 Full-Size Keyboard and High-Definition Optical MouseCarbon Neutral Certified by SCS Global Services

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 OptionAfter 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!

It is plug and play and has a standard layout. Keys return easily. Not quiet of you type fast. Good value for the price. Logitech has usually been durable for home or business use. The numbers and letters don't wear off as easily as some others.

I thought these were wireless but they weren't still nice and works great

I had an old mac which I converted to Linux for a family member. The mac had the Mac wireless keyboard and mouse which did not have the proper keys for Linux. Also the wireless units went through batteries quickly if you did not shut them off. This keyboard and mouse solved both problems. My only complaint is both cords are bit long for a standard desktop computer where everything is close together (like the MAC all-in-one unit I had)

You know, I love the Logitech Keyboards. They are wonderful because of the way the keys respond and just comfort of the keyboard. Unfortunately, my keyboard began acting up this morning, and I couldn't type certain letters. If you typed o or k, nothing happened, and then others also. I plugged in an OLD keyboard that I had here in the shop, just to get me through the day, but I have been on HOLD for Logitech about an hour now, and still waiting. That is not good, but hopefully they will replace the keyboard. There is not information on Amazon that I can see the warranty on the wired keyboard and mouse combo.

Nice affordable keyboard and mouse. A great fit for my home lab.

Inexpensive trusted name

This combo has a nice design. The keyboard doesn't mess with tradition, putting all keys where they belong (and the calculator button's a nice touch). The mouse is a proper size/height and has a good scroll wheel. Tactile satisfaction is good, and $20 is fair.But I've bought THREE of these MK200 combos over the past year, and each had a major flaw. On the first combo, the keyboard's spacebar was wonky, only working when pressed in a certain spot. On the second, the mouse wheel was stiff and imprecise. So I exchanged it for this third combo that was fine at first, but now three months in, the keyboard is acting up strangely. When I press Shift + a letter key, one of the two just doesn't register sometimes, causing frequent typos; the number pad's Enter key also cuts in and out on a whim. If that's not enough, the mouse is starting to register single clicks as double-clicks, making the whole affair a glitchfest concerto.If my math is correct, 3 out of 3 samples konking out calculates to a failure rate of 100%. Worse, Logitech's customer service reps seem to try to not honor the warranty -- it took about ten back-and-forth e-mails before they caved in, despite my clear-cut proof of purchase and being well within the warranty period.Avoid this product and avoid this company.
