Is the best back

When I test a product and review it I don’t usually use superlative words and I will only rate something five stars if it truly deserves it, and not every product does. This one does. I’ll try to explain briefly. I am a prolific writer and I have actually worn more keyboards out than some small stores sell in a year. Not that I am rough on them, they just don’t last long, and this brand has been my nemesis for as many years as I can remember. While I think they often make the best of class, sometimes, they also sometimes make things I believe are calculated to not last long. But that aside, my other goal this round in addition to durability is I need my keyboard and mouse to be silent, not quiet but silent. Almost none are and currently it’s even trendy to own keyboards with varying degrees of clicky sounds. Not me. IS THIS SILENT My gold standard for keyboards in Logitech’s own K740, which practically every source has called the best keyboard ever made. Unfortunately due to an incredible lack of understanding, they discontinued it with no suitable replacement. Their current high-end offerings are wrong in every way but they don’t think that way which means I have zero interest in them. I like the K740 so much that I bought a second one as soon as I heard they were discontinuing them and I still have it sealed away unopened. Read back a couple of lines and you know what happened to my beloved keyboard, it reached that predicable end of life when the enter key broke and then the letter vee stopped working properly. Both can be fixed with time and patience, which I don’t have so I started shopping and it came down to this model that they call silent and the model K650 which is also claimed to be silent and in fact I couldn’t see way it was going for twice as much, and this one even included a basic but decent mouse, which I thought I would just keep in the box. I had low expectations but I ordered this anyway. From the moment my fingers touched the keys it was love, it is actually very slightly quieter than the K740 (which makes it almost impossible to hear) and the keys are as high quality, solid and non-rattling, perfectly shaped, ideal key travel, in short it’s like this is the long awaited replacement for the best keyboard on the planet. So keep it a secret between you and me, this is its twin brother with a couple of exceptions, which I’ll list below. IS ANYTHING PERFECT I am going to be nitpicking to try to come up with any flaws and there aren’t really any. They are just things to know about, for example this model isn’t illuminated. I used to like that feature but now I’m not sure I miss it. The other has to do with the shift lock light which is in an inconvenient location and hard to see with the glossy clear cover over it. I miss having the on-screen reminder. As far as the mouse, it’s actually better than I though and I put my MX series away for now. If I would improve anything I would say it’s a little small for my hand and a trifle light so when I touch it I’m always wanting to lift it up. Oh and one more thing. Why did they feel it was necessary to print the annoying ad message printed on the space bar with the words silent touch? It’s distracting and completely destroys the professional restrained look of the rest of the unit. Someone is just not thinking at Logi. YES NO MAYBE When I couldn’t find what I wanted I thought I would look for a K740, of course they’ve been long gone for years. There are a lot of people offering them used at as much as $500 bucks and I even saw one for a thousand. No thanks, I know it’s hard to believe but this one is just as good. End of story.

Truly Silent Performance – The Perfect Choice for a Shared Office Space

When you spend a lot of time typing reports or managing digital infrastructure, the constant "clack" of a standard keyboard can become a major distraction, both for you and anyone else in the room. I picked up the Logitech MK295 combo to use with my primary workstation, and the "SilentTouch" technology is significantly more effective than I anticipated. Quiet Without Sacrificing Tactile Feel The headline feature here is the noise—or lack thereof. It reduces typing and clicking sounds by a huge margin compared to a traditional membrane setup. What’s impressive is that the keys don't feel "mushy." There is still a satisfying tactile response and enough travel to maintain your typing speed, but the acoustic output is muffled to a dull thud. This is a game-changer if you’re frequently on calls or working in a quiet office environment. Reliable Wireless Connectivity Setup was as simple as plugging in the tiny USB receiver. I haven’t experienced any lag or dropped connections, even with multiple other wireless devices and a server rack nearby. The range is solid, allowing me to move the keyboard around my desk without any stuttering. Functional Design and Battery Life Full-Size Layout: Having the dedicated numpad is essential for data entry and technical work. The addition of the shortcut keys at the top for volume and media control is a nice convenience for a daily driver. The Mouse: The included mouse is compact and shares the same silent-click technology. It tracks accurately on various surfaces, including my standard desk mat, without needing a dedicated mousepad. Spill Resistance: The keyboard is designed to handle minor spills, which provides some extra peace of mind when there’s a coffee on the desk during a long shift. Final Thoughts Logitech is known for their battery efficiency, and this set is no different—I expect to get months, if not years, out of a single set of batteries. If you want a clean, wireless, and nearly silent input setup that just works out of the box, the MK295 is a fantastic value. It’s a professional-looking kit that prioritizes comfort and a quiet workspace.

Excellent Wireless Mouse & Keyboard

This is a very nice and very affordable wireless mouse and keyboard combo for business or general use. It's nice looking and the full keyboard doesn't have an overly large footprint. It's a standard USB periperheral so there's no setup or drivers, just connect the wireless receiver to a USB-A port, power up the mouse and keyboard, and go. The keyboard and mouse are comfortable to use, feel solid and well made, and the keys and buttons are much quieter than those used in the similar looking MK270 wireless combo. The MK295 is a great option, inexpensive with excellent quality and ergonomics.

Maravilhoso

Uso diariamente desde julho/2023 e está tranquilíssimo, nem troquei as pilhas. Tanto o teclado quanto o mouse são bem silenciosos. O teclado faz um pouco de barulho (leve), e o mouse é completamente silencioso. Escrevo sem cuidado (rápido, mão pesada) e mesmo assim é difícil me ouvirem digitando algo em uma chamada, por exemplo. Para mim foi um ótimo custo benefício. De vez em quando ele dá delay ou algumas teclas não funcionam por alguns segundos. Pode ser a distância dele até o dongle USB ou algum problema no Wireless, mas apesar de um pouco frustrante não me causou grandes problemas.
