- The Logitech MK850 comes with a bundle of the M720 mouse and K850 Keyboard. They are able to connect to three devices via Bluetooth or via the Logitech Unifying Receiver, and by press of a button both the keyboard and mouse can toggle between devices that it serves.
There are ergonomic points to consider as well, as of late Logitech has been moving towards a simplified look yet accommodating long term comfort and ease of use.

Hi everyone, glad you are here.
Just wanted to say things for visiting and also, if you can spare some time, please also check out my second channel Property Technical:

Do you have to install software on both comps or does just using the unifying receiver and Bluetooth work? I have a work and personal pc I'd like to us this for and obviously can't put software on the work PC.
You failed to mention a key flaw to this product - the fact that you can't press just one button to switch BOTH keyboard and mouse to another device. This should be a no-brainer feature. No one switches the keyboard to a device and don't expect the mouse to follow as well.
Do you by any chance know of a model that does that?
The Logitech Options Software automatically switches mouse and keyboard to another device. You have to turn that feature on in the mouse settings.
@@ijlalmonawwar Hey, thanks for the answer. Do you know if to have this functionality of having both the keyboard and mouse switch together, does the flow software have to be installed on ALL devices? It's just that I plan to use this keyboard and mouse with a corporate desktop computer that I don't have administrative access to so wouldn't be able to install the software. I would still like to switch between all 3 devices using just a single button press on the keyboard without having to change the selection on the mouse also. Is this possible?
Thank you for the video. I bought this combo in the San Diego, CA area Costco for only $40.00. I use it for my desk pc, laptop, and Ipad Air 2
I've been reading reviews of the MK345 (I have two combos - one for each pc) and the MK 545. And after reading further I see that both of these models are experiencing the problems I've been having. Eg: dropping out with the only solution being the removal of the dongle for a few seconds and replacing it. The Logitech site is of no help. It doesn't inform me how to replace Microsoft 10 Pro's keyboard and mouse drivers with something better. My question: is the MK850 an improvement, or does it have the same problems as the other combos? Thank you.
Great review, sir! 👍🏻
agree
Excellent narration!
Great information! I bought this product after watching your video. QQ: How can I customize the customizable buttons of both mouse and keyboard for mobile phone?
Does it have the break button? It's usually above the page up button..i didnt noticed it.
will the function keys work by default without having to press fn+f8 (without having to install logitech options)
Very clear, specific and articulate. Not a superficial review. Would also like to know if this keyboard is noisy. Most of Microsoft wireless Keyboards I've owned are noisy to type on. Thanks!
I'd like to know how quiet it is as well. Great review.
Thanks for the detailed review! I'm considering getting the MK850 combo, and your insights on both the mouse and keyboard have been really helpful. You mentioned that they can connect to three devices via Bluetooth or the Unifying Receiver. Could you please elaborate on how seamless the device switching is and if there are any issues you've encountered in this aspect? Thanks in advance!
Brilliant review. Can you help me understand how did you configure this mouse with copy paste with wheel? and volume etc
'?
Use the Logitech Options software. There are additional actions menu for assigning copy and paste..
I just bought it for my home office. I dont like that it doesn't have a number lock indicator on the keyboard. But the keys feel good and they keyboard is comfortable.
Thanks for the review! I just bought it today. The keys felt extremely sticky at first, but I can already feel them loosening up. The mouse is of course great. I used to have a Marathon mouse back in the day; this one is more comfortable and of course more versatile when it comes to connectivity.
Great to hear! I'm sure the keyboard will ease up nicely. Enjoy them, out ones are still in use daily, and going strong...
Did the keys ease up?
@@biancaschrijver ehh sort of. The ones I use all the time are fine but I find the ones I don't use frequently will stiffen back up with time. Hasn't really bothered me too much though
I already own a Razer mouse and looking for a wireless keyboard for work. Can you please help me choose between Logitech K375s and MK850. I am only worried about the 3X price of MK850 over the other. Is it worth spending INR 6,500 for this combo?
Could the MK850 keyboard and mouse able to connect to the iPad (6th) generation? Any driver need to install to be used on the laptop window 10?
I got a logi keyboard K850 and the snipping shortcut doesnt work like a standard keyboard would. Any ideas?
Good job. Keep going. Cheers.
Thanks.
You're the best tech review :D
Thanks
Hi Salesberg,
Thanks for such a well-explained review.
I am trying to choose between Logitech Mx (Keys + master 3) and this MK850. My usage is mainly for coding. Unfortunately, the KB and Mice are not available in the display to try out at any of the stores here.
The things that are holding me back from purchasing Mx are
1. Hefty price tag.
2. A question in mind, that whether is it worth the hype (as there are several marketing gimmicks as well nowadays)
3. The bulky size (and weight) of Mx master.
4. Is MK850 good enough for my use case
So what are your thoughts on this which one shall I go for?
I personally went the other direction. I use the MX Keys keyboard, and M720 mouse. The keyboard is excellent and I am totally used to it. Previously I used to us the MX master 2, but it was just too hefty for general purpose use, at least for me. The M720 hit the sweet spot..
@@CyberCatTechnologies Thanks for the succinct and clear reply. Just one follow-up question, how is the feel of K850 compared to Mx keys?
Is there much of a difference or K850 itself is good enough for the experience (similar to M720)?
what version of keyboard is it ?
is it PN: 920-008227 ?
how to enable the pairing (switch mouse with keyboard) in flow software? what option to slect?
Doi need 2 unified receivers for 2 pc’s ? Thank
Thanks for the great vid. I initially went for the budget M270 and maybe not so surprised with how cheap if felt and have now ordered this model to replace it. Which Logitech model would you recommend? I am not a gamer but I don't want it to feel too cheap and I suppose the question is which is the best mid to high range? The MK545?
Your thought is in the right direction. The MK545 is indeed a mid range premium quality product.
I have reviewed it separably - ua-cam.com/video/GxaLm1n20_s/v-deo.html
Things to consider, between MK850 and MK545 the items that would possibly make a difference are: Bluetooth Connectivity, Multiple Device connectivity, M720 mouse is a better mouse.
So spending a bit extra may be worth your while. However, if the above mentioned items are not all that important, by all means go for the MK545. The mouse is very good quality as well, and the keyboard is well made. If the included features are suitable for your use, quality is not going to be an issue.

@@CyberCatTechnologies thank you for your reply. Very helpful. On this basis I will consider the 545 as it's probably all I need. So long as the keyboard feels nice to type on and is good quality I do not really need the extra features for the money. From your review, the mouse also looks decent too. Like I say the 270 was exactly what I paid for. In the UK the comparative version is the MK540 and so o may go for this.
The only recommendation I may advise, is if you have any local store that sells office supplies or something, where a 545 may be on display, you can try it out, see how it feels.
The part where you say "feels nice to type on" is a subjective matter. And in the past I have been told both ways by random online folks, feels great - feels horrible. What can I say right.
Quality and longevity and all that yes I have positive comments about it. Will you love it, I hope so, but I wish I knew you better to be able to tell, but how can I.
As far as numbers go, when I tested the set, it was right quality for the money, from a reputed manufacturer in its segment, and a safe purchase in the long run.
@@CyberCatTechnologies Also the thing is that you will always get used to a keyboard even it is a cheap one and so after all this I am tempted to stick with the MK270 now as I do not need hyper productivity keyboard yet. I think I was sold by the glossy videos on here for the MX etc. I will check out your property site.
Good call, I personally do not like to replace something that is not broken or is not serving the needs properly. By all means there are good products out there, and they will want you to buy them.
The Property Channel - I'd love to get some feedback. Still tuning my videos there, what do people want to see that I could better deliver. Cheers mate.
Is there a dedicated print screen key?
If you try to put the pc to sleep and use BT only it won't work as BT is asleep also. I need a work around soI don't kneed the unifyer if possible.
Can any of the keys be assigned the function of Windows key? Is that option even there because I notice that none of the keys on the keyboard have a windows symbol on it.
The keyboard has a windows button in the usual place. But you can assign start menu command via Logitech options to some keys if you wish.
Can I take the pices off the keyboard to change it?
Hi , can you confirm that if one has 2 unifield receivers , , the keyboard and mouse will work with both unified receivers and switch between the two by just pressing on the white key 1 2 3 ? I cannot find documentation any where about using the mk850 with 2 unified receivers at the same time. Thanks in advance
Yes, it is possible. The way to do it is this. Pair with computer 1 while leaving both keyboard and mouse in 1 (or a number of your choosing) - Then go to computer 2, select 2 on both keyboard and mouse and then pair. Thats it, when you are selecting one it will work with computer 1 and when you select 2...
It may sound complicated in practice its really simple.
@@CyberCatTechnologies Does the switch happen for both keyboard and mouse or do we have to select 1 or 2 on both keyboard and mouse?
@@nitinnaik9394 If you are using flow software the switching can be automatic. Else, switching needs to be done on both keyboard and mouse.
What about palm-rest (wrist-rest), is it wearing off ? Is it colecting dirt ?
Is it wearing off - No, it is holding up well for its age.
Is it collecting dirt - My wife uses this keyboard, and she is too clean to let any dirt on it in the first place (but I guess if it did get dirty you could clean it easily cause its rubber).
is this spill resistant?
does this keyboard have 2 recievers to plug into both computers?
No, but if you have a spare unifying receiver you can pair them separately. Or you can buy a unifying receiver. Or go Bluetooth for second computer.
Is there any lag in mouse via Bluetooth? Some buyers on amazon complained about this.
No lag, it will be the best setup for heavy users
I agree, I use these via both unifying receiver and Bluetooth. There is no human level difference to notice. In amazon people can also have faulty Bluetooth receivers or system lags in general.
@@CyberCatTechnologies thanks for the reply 😊
When switching between device, we have to press on mouse and keyboard or either 1 is okay?
+1
Anyone knows this?
good review.....
Glad you enjoyed it
thnks
Does Logitech sell any keyboard without a mouse combo, I already have 590 mouse but can't find a keyboard with numpad.
They do. Try their website for ideas
can i use them without the receiver , I don't want to lose a port
Yes via Bluetooth
Hi. Does this keyboard exist without the mouse?
I also want to know as I have the mouse.
hi, does changing device for keyboard also change the device for the mouse?
Only if you have it setup like that in the software
@@CyberCatTechnologies awesome.. thanks!
Will a mouse be suitable for a very small hand?
How small?
Awesome Review! thank you... May I ask does this keyboard and mouse still work?
Thanks!
Yes it does, not only does it work without issues, it has been daily driver for my wife's computer since the day it came out of the box, and has been in service for her work for home setup + general home computer use. So 8 hrs per work day plus extra for personal computer use plus weekends too.
@@CyberCatTechnologies ah very good keyboard and mouse combo .. but its pretty heavy in weight too right? 733g
I mean what if you put it on your lap in case for portability?
For putting it on the lap this is not right. There are other more suitable products.
This is a good keyboard but will not do everything possibly.
it is very difficult to move this mouse the hand gets tired
Does it have illumination on the keyboard sir?
No
@@CyberCatTechnologies ok got it!
Great review! can u comment the usage of this keyboard under dark room condition? due to the lacking of backlit feature
Let me put it this way. Backlit keyboards are a newish feature, if you take into account when I was born and for how long I have been using keyboards. In the 80s there were hardly any backlit keyboards, but there were great mechanical keyboards every where. Point being, we did fine without the glowing keycaps. Besides, if you are going to use this keyboard you are going to have light from your screen which should be plenty for the purpose of typing, unless you are absolutely and totally new to the concept of typing.
TLDR - no light, no problem.
Cheers mate.
@@CyberCatTechnologies great point, cheers mate. Im considering this (cheaper) or Mx series. Do comment if u hv anything in mind
Well, each has their own reason to be. I use MX keyboard with m720. My wife is still happy to use the mk850. Each is serving a different purpose. You gotta ask what you want and what are you willing to spend?
@@CyberCatTechnologies top down by priority (budget < 200usd) im looking for a keyboard with mouse;
1. Wireless
2. Ergonomic / comfort to use
3. Look of it
4. More shortcut feature
5. Backlit if any
Thanks mate
Is it good for gaming?
Well, to some extent. It does not offer you anything above standard keyboard as far as gaming is concerned. May be comfort wise it could help, but not much else.
Hi, whats the difference between the MK825 and MK850
They are different combo, the mouse is different.
@@CyberCatTechnologies Thanks for the reply 😊 and if I may ask, so the keyboard is the same right ....and what's the difference in the mouse?
is it backlit?
No.
Can we use mk850 for iPad as well?
Via Bluetooth it should be possible. Which iPad though, very old ones may not work..
@@CyberCatTechnologies its iPad pro 9.7
good review, I quickly realized as a gamer I want nothing to do with this keyboard.
Why not?
@@agentsmith60490 extremely low quality, lack of special gaming keys, low quality keys, shit mouse for gamers, bad latency if you want to get serious.
@@johnnyb5x Red and brown switches are torture to the fingers.....
Can both devices be connected with just Bluetooth withouth using the receptor?
Yes, and in any combination..
You sir, are “The Device Whisperer”.
I can't find pause break 😫 and my calculator wont work
You never showed how to turn On
I had an extremely disappointed experience. I bought and returned one and am scheduled to return the second one. This keyboard and mouse randomly misbehaves by flicking the screen and loading several screens and slows the entire computer.
It appears that there is a hardware conflict between Bluetooth and the transmitter.
This is exactly what am experiencing.
@@seyiekundayo871 I am returning it today.
@@noormotani9719 Am returning mine tomorrow. I think it is not too compatible with MAC
@@seyiekundayo871 not compatible with windows too
Price???
Depends on where you are?
omg...how is this even a full review without typing a single key
Actually typed a lot on it. The review script was written on it.
@@CyberCatTechnologiesokay .. I meant you could have shown some typing in the video,the movement of the keys and their sound.
Didn't think that in a membrane keyboard it would be that big of a deal as far as sound is concerned. But if you came to the video just to see that I suppose I robbed you of a fair satisfaction..
@@CyberCatTechnologies LOL ...cracked up reading all this, we are all such "nerds". You for making this, me for seriously watching such videos prior to purchases.....but yeah typing on keys regardkless of the keyboard i find is a much sought out gesture to do in review videos like this one.
Great job on the video, for real lol..... and thank you for making it!
@@Atahmasian Second person to voice the same notion. Perhaps I should make a separate video just to demonstrate the typing. I agree, its a miss on my part.
Why are there so many dam@> Ctrl alt and fn keys on this keyboard? My stars! I wish I wouldn't have bought this, as I need traditional keys
I really hate the feeling of pressing the keys on this keyboard. I think it's a downgrade from MK545.
Interesting opinion, the MK545 is different for sure.
review it again today and show the wrist rest...if you are still even using it. This is probably just a stupid sales ad.
Unfortunately no, this is not an ad. Watch the video in full then pass your opinion
@@CyberCatTechnologies I have one on my desk and this is a crap review then.
Play at 1.25x.
Your welcome
No, it is ok for me. Iam not native English speaker. 👍
I will skip this model simply because i hate rubber cannot be used more than 5 years
How many years did you need the keyboard for?
And how many keyboards have you bought in the three years since you posted this?
