Logitech Media Combo MK200 Full-Size Keyboard and High-Definition Optical Mouse

Excellent quality for the price! WORKS FOR APPLE/MAC!!!
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!

Great keyboard and mouse for the $
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.

AFTER ONE YEAR OF USE
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.

CRAP!
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 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.

Product is great nice not to worry about batteries
