Compact enough for any space, and versatile enough for all setups—this is the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed. Enjoy seamless gaming in a sleek package with a wireless 65% mechanical gaming keyboard that still retains arrow keys for the perfect balance of form and function.
I bought both this version and the version with the yellow switches. I like this one so much better. Even though the clicking can get a little loud, I type so much more accurately on the green switch version.
WRT the keyboard size, this is my very first 65% keyboard. While I use this primarily for gaming, it also works well for my work. While I am upset I no longer have the numpad, I have mapped the left side of the keyboard to be very similar to a traditional numpad when I hold down FN.
Nov 16, 2021 11:42This is a pretty swag keyboard ,the phantom key caps come stamped with the alternative functions too which is very nice and the size is a big win

Keyboard looks great but it was the wrong one for my device
Oct 22, 2021 20:59iMac performance is at an all-time high with a new ninth-generation Intel Core processor, powerful Radeon Pro 500X-series graphics, Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connectivity, and stunning Retina 5K display with one billion colors and 500 nits of brightness for vibrant images and razor-sharp text.
Can't say enough good about the new iMac. The 27" screen is far superior to the 21" screen, and the ability to upgrade RAM to 64 gigs is also a big plus.
I highly recommend this model as iy does everything I want plus more.
Sep 27, 2019 19:54The new iMac is years beyond any other computer in our household. The graphics are clear, precise and brilliant.
I bought the computer strictly for writing my manuscripts and song lyrics. The Garage Band Studio program that came preinstalled on the iMac is perfect for capturing my original songs.
The preinstalled video program is sharp and bright.
Many free Apple apps and bonuses make the iMac invaluable to artists and writers and a must have as an everyday computer.
Get one - it will pay for itself in not having to buy several cheap computers over time.
Dec 11, 2020 16:23This thing handles heavy video editing with breeze! A huge upgrade from my Mac Mini!
Aug 02, 2019 17:59Easy transport and setup. Loving it so far and the performance is great.
Nov 15, 2019 20:51I LOVE ALL APPLE PRODUCT THIS IMAC IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Jan 05, 2020 10:37I was holding out upgrading my Mac mini 2012 at home when I heard there was a rumor Apple was going to move to a newer core option with more cores. I was glad I did because this thing is an absolute beautiful beast!
If you take the components and price them out individually, the price of this iMac isn't all that much different from a DIY system. The 5K display is amazing, colors are bright and vivid and watching 4K content is fantastic!
This is the only model that comes stock with a 2TB Fusion Drive - you can order other builds from Apple if you want, but you'll be waiting a week or more.
I hacked my old Mac mini 2012 and created a 2TB Fusion Drive to hold my family's entire iTunes library. I know that the push lately has been more on streaming, but I like having movies and TV show's locally available for syncing / streaming at home to give the WiFi a break.
The other reason to go with the 27" model is these are the only ones that the RAM is user-upgradable. 8GB might work for now, but I like that I have the option to push it out more if I want down the road without paying the premium price Apple charges for more RAM.
If you're on the fence about the iMac - take my advice and dive in. I love mine... and now my kids have a Mac mini for their own for their school work!
Jun 19, 2019 12:14I returned an apple 16 inch MacBook Pro because not worth it since neither touchscreen or 2-1 system. I mean come on Apple make one or the other or both.
I got the desktop since it is easier to use without needing touchscreen capability. I am not an Apple laptop or desktop user, my first foray into this medium...steep learning curve but getting there.
As others say the graphics is fantastic as is the editing capability. I bumped up the memory configuration to 64GB by buying and installing my own memory sticks, a substantial savings over ordering it configured this way.
This Apple desktop bought with intention of Making it easier to back up all the family IPADS, will see...have not gotten around to do so yet. This is another reason for returning the MacBook Pro as it required new cables just to connect your iPad.
The fusion drive is slow and major bottleneck but is a cost savings over an SSD configured iMac. The bottleneck can be solved mostly but using the thunderbolt connections with an external SSD.
So far I like the iMac even with the learning curve of learning a new system from my history of Windows based system...exciting!
Jan 06, 2020 06:07I've looked at this computer for over 6yrs and finally got the nerve to spend that cash. Its been nothing short of heaven at my finger tips. love the immediate response and the ability to do a number of task without a single lag in performance. money well spent.

I’ve had this for a few months now and I must say I am in love!! The fact that this has a ram door makes all the difference in the world. I added so much ram for 50 bucks myself, which saved 300 bucks going through Apple. It’s fast, the screen is fantastic, and there’s no reason to own another computer for 8-10 years.
Apr 07, 2020 14:05I love the screen. It’s perfect for my work as an online teacher.
Dec 11, 2020 17:57This computer is beautiful in so many ways, from design to monitor resolution quality. It's also a quite powerful computer for the average user. We bought it for our receptionist desk. It projects a statement of quality and confidence to our clients and it gets the job done.
Jan 03, 2020 16:34Excellent shape for open box and smooth easy set up. Using my old iMac as a dual screen. Perfect buy.
Sep 25, 2020 15:53Having been an Apple fan for 20 years, it was an easy decision to replace my wife’s 9 year old failed 27” IMac. Got on line and within 30 minutes I found Best Buy stocking exactly what I needed. Reserved the unit online and went to the store about 19 miles from home. On arrival, the BB reps at pickup found the order, told me they found the unit on the truck being unloaded, and that they expected the unit up front in about 30 minutes. Was given updates 2 times during the wait. The box appeared and all the inventory tags were scanned and I was on my way. Best Buy listed this unit at a very good price and with my time machine backup, my wife was back using her brand new IMac within 3.5 hours of the original machine demise.
Apr 10, 2021 16:12Updated my computer. Had the previous for over 12 years and it just wouldn't stop working. Passed it on to my grandchild I love my new computer it does so much Did not realize how much faster this one was. Thank you to the GeekSquad for transferring all my old data. The way the Mac goes, it will probably be the last one I buy.
Thank you again to the staff at Best Buy, my purchase was made so easy.
Apr 25, 2020 09:23I have been wanting the iMac Pro but just couldn't afford it. This iMac is great. It's my first 27" screen and the 5k display is gorgeous. I'm using it for 3D modeling, Photoshop, video editing, and app development. I've been using a 2012 iMac which was extremely sluggish lately. This thing is super fast. From what I've read online, this model is the one to get if you want something comparable to the iMac Pro.
Aug 20, 2019 12:08I had a lot of questions before purchasing a new Apple iMac computer. I needed a more powerful computer for producing music and video and I didn't want to purchase the wrong system. The salesman answered all my questions and guided me to a logical, informed, and unforced decision. Delivery to my door was on time and hassle free.,
Apr 02, 2021 16:02Introducing MX Keys Mini, a smaller, smarter, and mightier minimalist wireless keyboard made for creators. The minimalist form factor provides improved ergonomics by aligning your shoulders and allowing you to place your mouse closer to your keyboard for less arm reaching, more comfort, and better body posture. Perfect Stroke keys are shaped for your fingertips with optimal key stability and tactile responsiveness to keep you oriented and in your flow. The backlit keys light up the moment your hands approach, and automatically adjust to suit changing lighting conditions. Smart Dictation, Mic Mute/Unmute and Emoji keys streamline your workflow even further.
This is a nice little keyboard that delivers a pleasurable typing experience. I’m not quite convinced on it being a “creator’s keyboard” (I’m a legal professional), but it delivers. It’s pricey for a keyboard, but if you type for any amount of time during the day and you care about that experience, this one is worth a look. Especially if you have limited desktop space or like to take a keyboard with you for travel (I do on work trips).
IN THE BOX
Pretty straightforward, the keyboard and a USB cable. Know that for the first time in a long time, if ever, Logitech doesn’t include a USB dongle to plug into your computer. Some people might be disappointed, but I love the idea. Virtually every computer nowadays has Bluietooth, why take up a USB slot with a dongle?
SETUP
I recommend plugging in the keyboard before even using it (if you’re able to). My keyboard was shipped with less than 25% so it died pretty quickly after I began using it. Much like Bluetooth headphones, or speakers, setting up the Mini MX keyboard is a similar process. You simply open up the Bluetooth settings in your computer and search for a new device. Then you turn on your keyboard (there’s a switch on the top, can’t miss it), then you hold down the F1, F2 or F3 button to put it in pairing mode. You can repeat this process with up to three different devices. When you want to switch you simply tap which of those buttons that corresponds with the device you’re using.
DESIGN AND TYPING EXPERIENCE
I’ve been fond of the MX lines of keyboard and mice for a long time. I own several MX mice and I own the first MX keyboard. I really like the overall design and build quality of the devices. As for the Mini, the design is fantastic. It’s extremely svelte and sturdy. The battery resides in the top which also serves as a stand so the keys are angled slightly towards you. I have to say, I don’t normally use mini keyboards that don’t have number pads, so it feels at first, a little awkward to type on, but I assure you, the keyboard layout is the equivalent of a normal keyboard (sans numberpad). Obviously, if you need a number pad, this keyboard isn’t for you.
I’ve somewhat of a typing enthusiast. I am a legal professional and I’m typing everyday and I enjoy “clicky” sounding mechanical keyboards. The MX Mini isn’t a traditional mechanical keyboard, the keys are more shallow and more quiet, but it delivers a satisfying experience. I also like the size. While this hasn’t replaced my desktop keyboard, because I use the number pad a lot, it does travel with me because I much prefer a keyboard to ANY laptop keyboard. And I like the small size and footprint. It’s pretty easy to travel with.
My only complaint with the design is the inclusion of Mac and Windows shortcuts. It’s obvious why the keyboard has both, but as a strictly Windows user, it’s odd seeing symbols I’m not used to. But that’s an extremely minor gripe, we’re talking about 4 keys.
FEATURES
So this is billed as a keyboard for creative types. I don’t really understand that marketing. Sure, it has a button to bring up emojis (which I’ve tried just to test but don’t use in my everyday work). But unlike the original MX keyboard which has a cool dial (which could do a number of things, scroll through tabs in a browser, adjust volume etc.) there’s nothing in my mind that separates the MX mini from any other mini keyboard (in terms of “creative” features). There’s a dedicated emoji button, transcribing button (more on that below), mic mute (convenient for video conference calls), play/pause and volume buttons. These aren’t found in all keyboards, but to me there’s nothing creative about them, they’re just standard keyboard shortcuts that are really convenient to have. My favorite might actually by the microphone button. Using a Windows computer, I hit that button and it activates the microphone built into my laptop. I can then transcribe like you might with Google or Siri on your phone. It’s convenient and it works pretty well, but I’m more of a typing person than dictation person, but I can see that being beneficial to some. The emoji button brings up emojis (at least in Google Docs) that allows you to pick one to insert. I guess this is cool, but I don’t typically put emojis in anything but text messages.
BATTERY LIFE
One thing I’ve never had any complaints about from Logitech mice and cordless keyboards is battery life. And this Mini MX is no exception. It claims to have 10 day battery life with the backlight on, and several week battery life with the backlight off. I haven’t tested this claim, but I certainly trust Logitech based on previous experiences. I actually turn the backlight on and off depending on the setting. I tend to keep it off because my office is well lit, but in a dark hotel I turn it on. You can turn it on and off by holding the brightness level buttons (obviously holding the dimmer button until it’s off and vice versa). A nice battery saving feature is that the backlight will turn off if it doesn’t detect input after so many seconds and turns back on when you start typing again. The backlight is nice, it illuminates all of the keys, through the keys themselves (versus just seeing the light underneath each key).
MISCELLANEOUS
My only real complaint is the small size of the arrow keys. In a full sized keyboard the arrows are offset away from the enter key so they’re plenty big. Here, the keys are half size and underneath the shift button. It’s just an unfortunate necessity for any mini keyboard. Not necessarily a design choice made only by Logitech.
I just wanted to also mention the types of devices this keyboard works with. Obviously anything Bluetooth. I connected it to my Galaxy FoldZ3 and it worked well. It also easily paired to my GOogle Slate Chromebook (and obviously my WIndows laptop). I haven’t tested it with any Apple products, but I have zero doubts that it will work great with those devices as well.
CONCLUSION
Logitech has done it again, building a high quality keyboard worth your money. Especially for those that care about the looks of their devices and a premium keyboard typing experience. The battery life is phenomenal, it can connect to 3 devices at once and it’s extremely responsive (connecting within fractions of a second when turning it on). While it’s advertised towards creatives, let’s be honest, it’s a fantastic keyboard for everyone.
Oct 04, 2021 14:32## Design
I’m a big fan of the full-size version of the Logitech MX Keys keyboard, so I was happy to see that Logitech makes a smaller version now as well. The MX Keys Mini drops the numeric keyboard and reconfigures the layout a bit, making the arrow keys smaller and shrinking the CTRL, FN and other related keys, while keeping the letters and numbers at full size.
The keys are backlit and impressively light up as your hand approaches the keyboard, making it easy to see where your hands should “land” in a dark room. On the row of function keys are dedicated media and volume controls.
## Performance
Like its larger sibling, the Logitich MX Keys Mini still has a satisfying feel when typing. It’s not “clicky” like a typical mechanical keyboard, but the keys do provide nice tactile feedback when pressed. I find the keyboard very comfortable for long typing and coding sessions.
Battery life seems to be very good as I’ve only had the keyboard for a few days, but I haven’t needed to recharge it yet, even with the backlight on.
## Features
Wireless: Oddly, there was no Logitech Unifying Receiver included with this keyboard (although the full size keyboard did include one). Therefore, your only option of connecting the keyboard is via Bluetooth. The USB-C port appears to be “charge only” as I was not able to use the keyboard via a wired connection.
Backlighting: As mentioned earlier, the backlight seems to sense that your hand is approaching and lights up before you even touch a key. There is only a white LED backlight, so there is no option to change between different colors.
Multiple machine support: There are 3 dedicated buttons for switching between devices. So you can pair the keyboard via Bluetooth to your laptop, phone and tablet and then switch between devices easily.
Emoji key: Maybe one of my favorite new features, there is a dedicated key for emojis on the F7 key that allows you to easily bring up iOS’ Emoji keyboard.
Screenshot key: There is also a dedicated screenshot key that invokes iOS’ screenshot function.
Dictation key: There is also a key for voice dictation that invokes iOS’ dictation feature.
USB-C Recharging: You can use the included USB-C to charge the kayboard, but not to connect it to your computer as a wired keyboard.
## Summary
Overall, the Logitech MX Keys Mini keyboard is great for using your laptop in “clamshell” mode, or for connecting to your phone, tablet, or any device with Bluetooth keyboard support. The backlight feature works very well and the dedicated Emoji, screenshot and dictation keys are very convenient. Unfortunately, a wireless USB adapter is not included with this version of the keyboard, so it will need a Bluetooth connection.
Sep 30, 2021 15:20I love this keyboard. I picked out this keyboard to go with my set up of my Mac being docked to my bedroom tv for late work. It did not disappear. It is compact and light but has great weight to it. Great tack tile feedback!
Dec 03, 2021 15:48Logitech has hit another home room with this one. Let’s start with unboxing
UNBOXING
In the box you will get the keyboard, and a USB C to USB A charging cable. Right out of the box the device was charged and ready to be connected for use. My first reaction to lifting the keyboard out of the box was wow, great weight. Often keyboards feel light and flimsy but this had the perfect weight to it and it is definitely compact. But the keys are perfectly spaced for my typing. The keys fit my fingers and are curved just right for me to hit the center of the key ever time,
CONNECTION
As soon as you turn this on, the top left key for computer 1 will be blinking. It is in pair mode. Find the Bluetooth settings on your device and follow the prompts on your device to connect to the MX Keys keyboard. You can connect up to 3 devices via Bluetooth. To connect to a different device simply press (and hold for 3 seconds) the 2 or 3 key in the upper left and you will be in pair mode to connect another device. SWITCHING between devices is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Simple press the corresponding key that you have assigned to each device and you will be connected to that device (if it is in range),
SMART BACKLIGHTING
Another WOW feature for me is the Smart Backlighting. As you type the keys are backlit. When you stop typing the light will go out after about 5 seconds of inactivity. If you move your hands back towards the keys, before you get to them it senses the movement and lights the keys up as your hands approach. If you have ever tried to type in low light settings and the backlight does not come on until you press a key you wil under sat and how AWESOME this feature is,
CUSTOMIZE
You can download the Logitech Options at Logitech.com/options to customize the F-keys and set up VOICE TO TEXT Dictation. There is a function key (F7) that open the Emoji Keyboard, get instant access to Emojis as you type. You can even control how bright the backlight is on the keyboard using the brightness function keys (F4 and F5). There is a screenshot function key (F8) that is perfectly handy to get those must have screen captures with th push of a button.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Bluetooth, Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.15 or later, Linux, Chrome OS, iOS 3.4 or later, iPadsOS 14 or later, Android 5.0 or later.
Oct 01, 2021 20:18I used a previous version, and i love this one..F8 print screen option is great..
Usb C charging is great as well.
Traveling size and up to 3 devices support
Dec 03, 2021 16:21I’ve been using the Logitech Craft for work for a few years now. I don’t make much use of the multi-function input dial, but I’ve loved the feeling of typing on it and the MX Keys Min delivers an even better experience. I won’t be using it for work unfortunately because I need the ten-key, but if you don’t need that it’s a really solid keyboard that can live on a desk or your bag. The function keys at the top are minimal, but all very useful and it’s a great companion for my MX Anywhere 3.
The first thing I noticed about the Mini was how light it was compared to my Craft keyboard. Obviously it’s much smaller, but even still I wasn’t expecting it to be so light. It feels just as solid though. The key layout is almost exactly the same size as the Craft keyboard, minus the arrow keys and ten-keypad. The keys are universal and can be used on Mac or Windows. It charges via USB-C. Logitech calls this a minimalist keyboard and I think that’s a fair description. There’s not an egregious amount of extra function keys here and the ones that are there are all generally very useful to me. If you’re somebody like me who cares about the aesthetics of what you use I think you’ll appreciate the design.
The keyboard connects primarily via Bluetooth, though it can also be connected via Logitech’s new Bolt dongle, which is not included in the box. The Bolt is different from the Unifying Receiver that has been in use for the past several years, so if you’ve already got some Logitech accessories this will not connect to the same receiver. I found the Bluetooth connection to my Surface Book to be solid, no complaints at all there. I have a largish hands and found the experience of typing on this keyboard to feel just a little cramped compared to my Craft, but I think that has less to do with the key spacing and more to do with the fact that the frame is so small that it feels like I might slide off the side if I reach over too far. The typing experience is similar to the Craft, but with a little bit more key travel. The difference is noticeable and I don’t feel like I’m bottoming out the keys nearly as much as I do sometimes when I’m furiously typing away on the Craft. The keys all have circular indentations that make them easy to settle on by feel with my fingers. I mostly used this with my Surface Book and while I didn’t typically use an external keyboard with it before, it was nice to actually push the laptop back a little bit and not hunch into it to type. The battery life is rated up to 10 days with backlighting and 5 months with the backlight turned off. I don’t do much of my typing in the dark, so will likely leave the backlight off, but it does look good and seems to adjust itself to the appropriate level.
I’m happy with this keyboard overall. I love what Logitech is doing with their Master series and I’m glad I have this to compliment my mouse. For power users I’d go with the full size MX Keys, especially since it’s the same price, but for if you’re looking for a compact keyboard this is a great high quality choice and much better than something like Apple’s Magic Keyboard.
Sep 30, 2021 08:56I’ve been using Logitech’s Craft keyboard for some time, and a couple of times I even decided to carry it from home to work with me, but it normally stays parked on my desk at home. It was just too bulky to lug around. Enter in the little and capable brother, the MX Keys Mini. This gives you just about all the same typing experience as the larger MX/Craft, with a couple of compromises.
Setup is a breeze, especially if you have the Logitech Options software already installed. My PC at home had a little notification pop up when I powered up the MX Keys Mini and in a couple of seconds, it was connected to my computer. I also connected it to my PC at work, and another laptop.
Typing experience is top notch! It feels so great using this keyboard, it does not feel cramped, and the feel of the keys is awesome. The typing feel is the same as what I get on the Craft keyboard. I love the backlight keys and that they illuminate as soon as it senses your hands, approaching they keys. You get easy to access media keys, and a new emoji key that my Craft keyboard doesn’t have. I’ve used it a couple of times in some meetings. I love that the mic mute button is not for the software that you are currently using, but it mutes the mic at the system level. So far, the battery life has been great. I’ve been using it daily for the last week and it is still going strong. It is easy to stow, not quite as portable as my Keys-to-Go keyboard, but this experience is much better, that I don’t mind the extra weight.
The only compromise that some folks might not like is the lack of number keypad. You still get the top row of number keys, but if you use the number keypad frequently, this does not have one. Obviously, this is omitted to reduce size and weight, and I am totally fine with it, I just thought it was worth mentioning.
I love this little keyboard. It’s comfortable to use, allows you to quickly switch between 3 paired devices, and has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a high-quality keyboard. This is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a great portable typing experience.
Oct 05, 2021 19:19Excellent Keyboard, best one I have used and I have tried a lot of them in the past.
Dec 03, 2021 15:09Introducing MX Keys Mini for Mac, a smaller, smarter, and mightier minimalist wireless keyboard with a layout for Mac made for creators. The minimalist form factor provides improved ergonomics by aligning your shoulders and allowing you to place your mouse closer to your keyboard for less arm reaching, more comfort, and better body posture. Perfect Stroke keys are shaped for your fingertips with optimal key stability and tactile responsiveness to keep you oriented and in your flow. The backlit keys light up the moment your hands approach, and automatically adjust to suit changing lighting conditions. Smart Dictation, Mic Mute/Unmute and Emoji keys streamline your workflow even further.
My initial impression of this keyboard was not favorable. I didn't like how the indentions in the keys felt when I first started typing. I'm also always skeptical of using non Apple branded products with Apple devices.
Well, one day later, I was thoroughly impressed with this keyboard!
And here's why: After connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless, the indentions in the keyboard keys actually became a lot more intuitive with time, it just took some getting used to from my usual Mac keyboard, which is incredibly low profile and flat. Another thing that hampered me to start with was adjusting my wrist just slightly to the higher elevation. Sounds odd, but when you have been used to typing on a low profile keyboard for 10+ years, that difference IS noticeable. I, however soon got used to that new wrist position.
Now, having this keyboard with its backlighting and ambient light sensor, it is fantastic at night. The keys are bright and well defined, you can clearly see all the markings on the keys, and talking of markings, this keyboard is specifically laid out for Mac users. So you have your Apple/Command key, Option key and Control keys all in the right place. The volume/media buttons all work great, and once you download the accompanying Logi Options App, you can customize it to your liking - including setting up the F keys and enabling voice-to-text dictation.
The lighting on the keyboard automatically adjusts to the ambient lighting in your room, and automatically dims when the keys have not been touched for a while. They typically go dark after about 5 seconds of inactivity.
The integrated internal battery is charged with a double ended USB-C charging cord which is included with the keyboard. A full charge lasts 10 days with the illumination on, and 5 months without the backlighting turned on. You can also adjust the lighting on the fly with the F4 and F5 buttons.
The 'Perfect Stroke Keys' have a scissor mechanism in them for even pressure over the whole key, resulting in smooth typing with no missed characters or fingers slipping off the keys.
This keyboard also has the ability to connect to 3 different devices and switch between them using 3 dedicated smart keys on the top of the device. Nice if you want to switch between a desktop/laptop/iPad on the go.
Something novel to feature on this keyboard is the 'emoji' button which pops up a menu with a vast array of Apple emojis. Don't know how often I'll remember that functionality is there, but a nice little option none the less.
Overall, I went from 'skeptic' to 'lover' of this keyboard, and have really enjoyed using it since I switched over and adjusted to it. In my photos, I've given a comparison of my (admittedly 'grubby') Apple keyboard, and the new Logitech MX Keys Mini. In those photos I've tried to capture the key layout, the height difference and overall look of the keyboard, compared to a regular aluminum keyboard. This keyboard is not made out of aluminum, and is not adjustable, but it does feel substantial in your hand.
I have no hesitation in recommending this keyboard!
Oct 03, 2021 12:42As a Mac-preferred computer user, I am accustomed to Apple laptop keyboards and Mac-centric third party keyboards. I also have retained the full-size wired Mac keyboard that came with my old 2008 Mac Pro. It never quits and never needs recharging.
The pitch and feel of Apple OEM keyboards is distinct. Many third party keyboards for Macs don’t cut it with me.
Logitech has a long history of providing Mac keyboards of excellent quality.
This Logitech MX Mini for Mac Minimalist Wireless Illuminated Keyboard, $100, is compact, about the same real estate as an Apple OEM external keyboard but with more efficient space utilization and a better feel. The keyboard has a better progressive tilt and each key has a large central well that makes using it a better, more positive experience than with others I have tried. More about the test later. Here are more sizzle items from the manufacturer:
The keyboard is optimized for and may be used with MacOS, iPadOS, and iOS.
Highlights include:
• Perfect Stroke Typing with Smart Keys: Type on keys shaped for your fingertips, with voice-to-text Dictation, Mic Mute/Unmute, and Emoji keys.
• Mini Size, Mighty Powerful: Designed for effortless precision, with a minimalist form and ergonomic design that’s portable and can travel wherever you get work done.
• Smart Illumination: Backlit keys light up the moment your hands approach the keyboard and automatically adjust brightness to suit changing lighting conditions.
• Multi Mac Connectivity: Seamlessly switch between multiple Mac computers and iPads via Bluetooth® Low Energy. Or type across multiple computers or laptops in one fluid workflow when you team the slim keyboard with a MX Master 3 for Mac or MX Anywhere 3 mouse for Mac.
• USB-C Rechargeable: Type up to 10 days on a full charge. Or get up to five months of power by turning off the backlighting.
As accustomed as I am to my big wired keyboard’s layout and feel, let’s see what’s special about this new Logitech MX Keys Mini for Mac.
**WHAT’S IN THE BOX**
• Logitech MX Keys Mini for Mac
• Charging cord
• Documentation
**THE SETUP**
Check for state of charge, download and install the free Logi Options app for Mac. Follow the prompts to install and set up the new keyboard. Enjoy.
Now it is time to . . .
**PUT IT TO THE TEST**
Using it with a MacBook Air M1 feels so natural. From the time I bought and started using the new MacBook Air M1 almost one year ago, whenever using it while sitting at my desk I have used an external keyboard and Apple Magic Trackpad, which is my preference, and may not be yours. I find this to be best and most comfortable for me. This way I can use an external 4K monitor as well as a host of other peripherals with a Thunderbolt Dock, just as if I had a desktop Mac. That the new MacBook Air M1 is more powerful than many desktop computers is a plus.
I switched out the full-size wired Apple keyboard for this new Logitech MX Keys Mini and have not looked back. It has been so easy to transition to it. Truth be told, it is MORE comfortable than my Apple OEM wired keyboard! Did I really say that?? YES, it’s true. It is also more comfortable than the almost lookalike Apple Magic Keyboard.
To save battery life, I have switched off the keyboard backlighting as it is not needed for my use. That way, I might get up to the possible five months of use before charging is required. I will most definitely recharge it at least monthly, and why not?
I am enjoying using the specialized keys for voice-to-text dictation, to mute and unmute the mic in Zoom meetings, to go right to the Emojis page and so on.
This keyboard feels solid, substantial and well made. I would have expected nothing less from Logitech!
This feels completely natural. It’s small enough to be portable should I wish to take it along with my laptop, or to press it into service with an iPad or even to use it with my iPhone. All three can be paired with the three keys for this purpose.
I just paired with my iPhone, for example, which disconnected it with the MacBook Air M1. Using it with iPhone, I can type to my heart’s content so much more easily than using the virtual keyboard on the screen, and there are a special set of keystrokes for keyboard navigation on iOS. I can select which device it will be active with at any time.
What is missing? It does not have TouchID as on the MacBook Air M1 and the other M1 Mac models. That would take an investment of $149! Perhaps Logitech will offer one someday. In any case, I am content to reach up to the TouchID key on the MacBook Air M1. This is only an issue for those with Apple’s TouchID-equipped Macs. With this out of the way, my final assessment . . .
This is a winner! No question about it.
**CONCLUSION**
Logitech MX Mini for Mac Minimalist Wireless Illuminated Keyboard is an unqualified success and certified MUST HAVE for Apple users as a primary external keyboard – UNLESS the user wants a full-size external Mac keyboard or one with built-in TouchID, both at added cost. It feels better than the Apple version of this keyboard at the same cost.

Oct 01, 2021 03:15I'm going to preface this review with an admission that I'm a Logitech fanboy. They have been on a roll for years with outstanding accessories for just about every platform out there. I had the Craft keyboard on my work PC, my wife uses the full size MX Keys for her office, I used the awesome Presenter remote when I was still teaching, and all of our mice are Logitech in some form or another. The one thing I needed, a MX Keys keyboard for my Mac at home, has just arrived and it is all that I hoped it would be (with one slight exception).
I actually don't hate the Magic keyboard the Apple packs in with their Macs, but it certainly isn't my favorite. I absolutely HATE the Magic Mouse and so that was replaced with the MX Anywhere 3 for Mac immediately. Now I have the set and my fingers couldn't be happier. Now I get a nice, solid keyboard, with just the right amount of travel for the keys, a backlight (if I want it), and some nice feature keys.
The main selling point for me is that it makes typing on my Mac (which I do A LOT of), much more comfortable and precise. Really, what more could you ask for in a keyboard? I don't want, nor need the numeric keypad (I had the Mac keyboard without the numpad as well). This thing tucks neatly under my Mac when not in use and doesn't take up a ton of desk space when it is in use.
My only quibble with my Logitech ensemble for Mac is that Apple seems to want to make it as difficult as possible to use anything other than the Magic accessories. Huh! Apple make things difficult for 3rd party developers, you don't say! They have done something that makes the Logitech Options software a bit wonky. Something that doesn't happen on Windows PCs. Because of this, if you have Options installed, you may get some features blocked my MacOS. I have had better luck just pairing the both the MX Keys Mini and MX Anywhere mouse directly and not using the Options software. As much as I would like to use it, Apple puts up too many roadblocks. That being said, I have all the functions I need and want from my Logitech devices so it hasn't really been an issue.
If you have a Mac, do yourself and your hands a favor and pick up the Logitech Keys Mini for Mac. You won't be disappointed.
Sep 30, 2021 12:12Keyboards aren’t a big deal, right? Well I beg to differ, it’s the primary way we interact with our computers, so I think keyboards are a more important part of the user experience than most people realize.
With that said, I couldn’t pass up a chance to review this Logitech MX Keys Mini Keyboard on my MacBook Pro. I’m absolutely loving the way this keyboard functions and feels and so far don’t have any complaints about it.
In order to keep this review brief, I’m just going to break down this review into a few categories that I feel are relevant when reviewing keyboards.
Build Quality:
This keyboard is built like a tank. I’ve owned several keyboards and the build quality of this one is on par with several of the expensive mechanical keyboards I own. You can tell right off the bat that this is built well with it’s aluminum finish and it’s hefty weight. The keys seem solid and have a weighty, well built feel to them as well.
Ease of Use:
Connecting this is as simple as turning it on (after making sure you charge it with the USB-C cable) and waiting for it to come up in your Mac’s bluetooth menu. After pushing a confirmation code, you’re good to go. Charging it via the supplied USB-C cable will yield 10 days of usage with the backlight on or 5 months with it off. I wish the backlight didn’t affect the battery life so severely, but I don’t use it, so it’s a non-issue to me.
Feel and Useability:
The keys are slightly raised, which give you a longer stroke than most keyboards with this slim of a profile. This is a pro for me and feels much more natural than other keyboards. This is entirely subjective though, as some people really like the keys on laptops and don’t have an issue with less keystroke travel. The keys are all in the appropriate positions, with the exception of it not having a 10 key number pad and the 2 smaller keys for the left and right arrows. Overall I have no complaints here, the keyboard feels great. The keys are also very quiet, with no noticeable noise of any kind other than the normal keyboard sounds you get when typing.
Overall I think this is a solid choice for someone looking for an alternative to the official Apple offerings for keyboards and I don’t believe Logitech MX Keys Mini will disappoint anyone looking for a high quality keyboard that should last a very long time.
Oct 03, 2021 14:22I have an Apple Bluetooth keyboard for my MacBook but it has always felt slightly inferior to my Windows keyboards. I tried using a Windows keyboard but missed having the dedicated Apple keys. When I saw this logi MX Keys mini, I was hopeful it could satisfy the shortcomings of the Apple keyboard while retaining the feel that I like about my Windows keyboards. To cut to the chase, yes it does. The two keyboards are close in size but the Apple’s form factor is slightly smaller, thinner and lighter. The size differences are minor and only noticeable with the keyboards side by side. The key assignments are practicality identical with the exception of the top row which is slightly different on the logi The logi top row has several useful shortcut keys, including screen capture and emoji keys to help make workflow more efficient. Neither requires additional software.
The MX Keys chassis is crafted of plastic and aluminum. The surface around the keys is aluminum and similar in appearance to MacBook chassis. The sides, bottom and battery base are plastic but have a high quality feel and appearance. The logi has a backlit keyboard, which is a significant advantage over Apple’s non-illuminated wireless keyboard for Macs. Oddly, Apple’s keyboard also has backlight brightness keys despite the fact it isn’t backlit. The logi keys illuminate automatically when my hands hover over the keyboard. It’s a seemingly minor feature but it is quite useful. I usually have to type a random key on other keyboards to activate keyboard backlighting when in a dimly lit environment. Then I have to remember to erase the unwanted character. No such issues with the MX.
Typing feels mostly similar but I prefer the feel of the logi keys over the Apple keyboard. The spherical domed keys contour and cradle to the fingertips and feel more natural than the flat keys of the Apple keyboard. They are also more distinguishable when typing quickly and more comfortable when typing for long stretches. There is also a slight but distinguishable difference in actuation pressure and travel distance on the logi. I like the feel of the bottom out which feels more sharp and less mushy than the Apple keys.
Battery life seems good so far. I’ve used the keyboard with backlighting enabled all day for several days now and have not had to recharge yet. One advantage of the Apple keyboard is that MacOS automatically displays remaining battery capacity for the keyboard on-screen. The Logitech Options app is required to view on-screen battery life for the MX. The Logitech Options app also has a few other useful utilities and monitoring features but I’m not a fan of extra apps constantly running in the background, especially for such basic features. Also, if the MX keyboard battery drains, the keyboard can still be used while charging. The battery is also user-removable for disposal per the included user pamphlet. I haven’t been able to find any official documentation on whether it is user-replaceable but found several third-party batteries for sale. Seems a little too grey area for me, so I likely wouldn’t risk it. A USB-C cable is included for charging. Since this version of the MX Mini is targeted for MacBooks, it is a full USB-C rather than USB-C to USB-A. Older Macs and MacBooks will either need a cheap USB C to A converter or a USB-C/USB-A cable.
The MX Keys is also user-friendly. It enters Bluetooth pairing mode automatically right out of the box and paired effortlessly with my Mac. Power switch and charging port are logically placed in unobtrusive locations. And typing itself feels more natural than typical Mac keyboards. Definitely a better option for me and my new favorite Mac keyboard. It may even be my favorite overall. I’m strongly considering getting one for my Windows PC as well.
Oct 01, 2021 21:53TLDR:
(that’s Too Long, Didn’t Read)
A compact and comfortable keyboard with tons of useful features. It can pair to and instantly switch to up to 3 devices which is surprisingly useful.
Pros:
* Nicely sculpted keys with a great key feel.
* Great battery life with the backlight off, ok with it on.
* Helpful one-touch keys for Mac-centric functions.
* Can easily customize what most of the special one-touch keys do.
* Ability to pair to and connect to up to 3 different devices such as an iPhone, iPad and Mac.
* Quick charging via USB-C.
Cons:
* Key backlighting drastically reduces battery life.
* Does not proactively warn of low battery on the Mac’s display.
Summary:
There are many options for keyboards for your Mac, but this one has some really compelling features and doesn’t take up a ton of space on your desk. First and foremost, it’s a great keyboard to type on; the keys are nicely sculpted, have good spacing, nice travel, and are comfortable to type on. Those are the basics required for a good keyboard. But this one is specially designed for the Mac and has many useful one-touch function keys designed just for the Mac. It also has a great feature whereby you can pair it with up to 3 different devices, and easily switch between them. For example, at my desk I have an iPad, iPhone and my Mac. This one keyboard is paired to all 3 and I can choose which one it is connected to at any time with a single button press.
The keys are nicely backlit and there is an ambient light sensor to determine when the lighting is needed. This keyboard charges over USB-C and has great battery life; provided the key backlights are off. When the key backlighting is enabled, the battery life drops from 5 months to just 10 days. Pairing to my Mac, iPhone and iPad was super easy and switching between them while typing is just a tap of one of the 3 buttons at the top-left of the keyboard.
The entire top row are Smart Keys that do special Mac-centric functions such as muting the microphone or putting your device in Do Not Disturb. Eleven (11) of these keys can even but fully customized to do what you want instead of their pre-determined function. I use a third-party screenshot program for my job, so I changed the “print screen” type button to invoke that program instead.
I also have a Logitech Ergo Trackball mouse, and the same Logi Options app is used to customize both. There are tons of options not just for redefining some of the Smart Keys, but also other aspects of the keyboard and checking the battery life of the keyboard. One thing that is missing, though, is that when the battery is low, the LED on the keyboard lets you know, but there is no notification on the Mac’s screen. Same goes for my Logi mouse. That’s one thing that the Apple products do better, but that’s a small complaint for an otherwise excellent product.
Overall, this is a really great keyboard with a ton of functionality and customization that doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk. If you don’t need the numeric keypad, this keyboard will support your typing needs quite well and offers a lot of great conveniences.
Oct 01, 2021 14:11Honestly... I have some mixed feelings about the new mini version and let me tell you why.
Just a little background, prior to this pickup, I've been using the full-size MX keys for over a year now, and I loved it. It was my to-go keyboard for a while, super smooth and easy to type on, and the auto backlight never disappoints. Unfortunately, it developed some backlighting issues (a story for another day). So when the mini version came out, despite the MX keys light issues, I wanted to give this one a try and bring it with me on my travels or when I go to the office.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similarities with MX Keys Full-Size aka Big Sis:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look/feel are the same minus the key number bad. So it was super easy for me to adjust, 0% learning curve despite the shifting of certain keys to fit the frame. Although since I've been so used to the full-size keyboard I often find myself trying to type in numbers or reaching out for the bigger arrow buttons.
Curved keycaps that feel natural to the fingertips
Bluetooth connection pairing was easy.
Switching between multiple devices was seamless.
Smart illumination backlit keys (although I hope that this doesn't develop similar issues as its big sister)
Solid premium build.
USB-C Charging
No way to adjust the height of the keyboard
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Improvements/new additions from big sis:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bit more tactile - not sure if it's because it's brand new out of the box but there is a bit more of a tactile sensation(?) compared to big sis. Which I honestly love - and one thing I really hated with the standard Magic keyboard for the Mac (it didn't feel like you were typing). With the mini, I feel like I'm typing, and rarely do I even have to stare the keyboard to find letters.
Special keys for quick assess to emojis, voice type/dictation, screenshot, and mic mute/unmute.
Much more portable because of its size but still having a lot of juice.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably unpopular opinion:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite the updated function keys that seem pretty cool, I found myself a bit upset that I no longer have my forward and back buttons which I use quite often. Yes, there is a way for me to change the functions of the other keys, but yeah... that bugged me more than I thought. If I could change the function key features, I'd bring back the forward and back button, get rid of the voice type/dictation and emoji icon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other things I'd change:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish that the Mac version of the mini wasn't this pale gray color. Although nice, I would've loved to have the space gray version but I'm guessing this color choice was thanks to the updated iMacs with the white bezels. Which is a missed opportunity. At night with no light source then having the backlight is amazing, however, if you're using it during the day or have any type of light, the backlight makes it difficult to see the keys, at that point, I just turn it off.
Another gripe I have between the two keys: no way to elevate the keyboard. Granted - still SOOO much better than the Magic keyboard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even still... I'd recommend this
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall despite a few things that I disliked, I'm excited to use MX mini for my travels whenever I need to be away from home for work.
Sep 30, 2021 22:46This is my second MX Keys keyboard for Mac, the first being the full-size MX Keys for Mac and I loved that one. If you were a fan of the original Apple wireless/Magic keyboards you are going to love the MX Keys Mini for Mac!
The Mx Mini looks, works and feels exactly like it's larger sibling, just without the 10-key number pad. It comes sustainably boxed and wrapped in tissue paper like a fine instrument or china. The minimalist design looks great on any desk or work station.
Setting it up via Bluetooth was no different than any other keyboard, activate the pairing mode by long pressing one of the three selection keys, let the Mac find it, type in the passcode and it was connected. Like most Logitech Bluetooth keyboards, the MX Keys Mini for Mac can connect to three separate machines or devices, switching between them by pressing the corresponding selection button.
Installing Logitech’s Logi Options program allows you to change the options on the keyboard like specialty key assignments and back lighting. While this keyboard is designed for Apple devices with the command and option buttons, it will also pair with a Windows PC, which I did with no trouble at all.
Typing on the MX Keys Mini for Mac has a very similar feel to the wireless Apple keyboard with short key throws and the same satisfying tap you get with the short throw keys. The satiny feel of the perfect stroke keys along with the curved indent make it a joy to type on.
My favorite feature on this keyboard is the Smart Illumination backlit keys. When it senses your hands it automatically lights the keyboard up. There are six brightness levels and off.
My one issue with the backlighting on this keyboard is with white/light keys that have black/dark print, if your work area is not completely dark the lighting has a tendency to wash out the printing on the keys making them difficult to see. This is the same on my laptop that has white keys as well. It's not an issue on black keys with white print.
Another cool feature are the specialty keys for emojis, voice type and mic mute. You can also change what these keys do using the app if you’re not one to use those specific features.
Logitech says a charge on the MX Keys will last approximately 10 days using the backlight or up to 5 months with the backlight off. My experience with my previous MX Keyboard was generally more than 10 days between charges but this will depend on your usage.
I highly recommend the MX Keys for Mac to anyone looking for an excellent minimalist keyboard.
Sep 30, 2021 08:14Pair Surface Go Type Cover with Surface Go* for a full keyboard experience anywhere. Ultra-compact, yet it includes a complete mechanical keyset, backlit keys, and extra-large trackpad. Plus, three colors are covered in rich Alcantara® material¹ for an added touch of luxury and comfort.* Sold separately.
Easy instal, great feels when typing. The perfect keyboard.
Jan 28, 2021 06:05This is a necessity to make typing a viable exercise when using the Surface Go. Magnetically attaches to the Surface, and stays attached very well.
Has a key backlight with 3 brightness levels for typing in lower light. Keys feel reasonable for such a thin keyboard. Touchpad works well, with the exception it sometimes does not do a 2 finger scroll.
Another small gripe is that I see no way to adjust the backlight time out. It is quite short.
Still recommend....
Oct 29, 2021 17:47This is a good cover that protects the screen well. The keyboard is a little too small for me to really use it comfortably for wordprocessing, but my eight-year-old was able to use it for his schoolwork while we were remote schooling during the ‘Rona.
Nov 09, 2021 21:02This keyboard works okay, but it's smaller than a regular keyboard, so it's hard for me to type on it -- I often hit the wrong letters/keys. I also recently bought a regular wireless keyboard to use with my Surface Go and, when I'm going to do a lot of typing, I use this regular keyboard.
Dec 04, 2021 12:18Slim keyboard, easy to use, it is easily incorporated into the laptop, giving an elegant design.
I like it!!
Nov 10, 2021 11:53A little small for people with bigger hands like myself, but a great add on nonetheless.
Nov 19, 2021 16:56Really do like this Surface Go Type cover!!!!!!!! Would recommend to anyone it for anyone looking for a cover for their Surface Go 2
Oct 23, 2021 20:09Keyboard connect pretty easy to the Surface Go and turns the tablet into a laptop in an instant.
Nov 12, 2021 21:39The Design Collection Limited Edition mice mood-boosting designs bring a vibrant new look to your desk setup. Choose between different fun styles. It’s small, comfortable, super responsive, and completely wireless. Get total freedom with 10 m of wireless range, and work worry-free for 12 months on a single pre-installed battery. With smooth, line by line scrolling and precise cursor control for easier navigation at home or at work. The compact design perfectly fit users with smaller hands and kids—making it a great option for homeschooling.
I was a little hesitant to get this for my work Surface Pro but it works flawlessly. My husband picked it out for me because my color is pink (survivor). I love my wireless mouse!!!! It fits my small hands perfectly and makes for a great travel buddy. It has rubber grip sides that’s a great touch (no pun intended). This is a must for anyone that appreciates adding a little happiness to your day!
Nov 19, 2021 19:44Love it. A little smaller than the previous wireless mouse I had to for 10 years, this one fits my hand better and I don’t have pain. It is fast and accurate. And definitely cute!
Dec 17, 2021 20:21Beautiful colors . Descent size . Good quality .
Dec 15, 2021 12:22Very nice design, easy setup and very small mouse for to go
Nov 15, 2021 18:34Sensitive mouse. I was about to return because I did not see a USB in package. I even went to a store & asked an associate. They couldn't tell me. I decided to open the cover 1 day & there it was.
Works great. Came with battery.
Dec 07, 2020 09:46We're longtime fans of all sorts of Logitech accessories--mice, trackballs, webcams, keyboards...we've run the gamut across many of Logitech's product lines and always come away happy and impressed. Thankfully, the same can be said here--this latest entry into the wireless compact mouse Design Collection (our second actually--that's the "Cosmic Play" pictured below next to the new "Chirpy Bird") is another winner!
I typically wear an XL in men's gloves so the mouse feels pretty darned small (though still immanently usable) under my fingers. But for travel, it's positively perfect! The mouse stows neatly in a small laptop pouch or backpack pocket without taking up too much room, and yet it comes with everything you need onboard to get mousing no matter where you might be--the USB nano-receiver stores neatly under the battery cover when the mouse is not in use, and the battery itself will very likely last close to/more than the promised 12-month charge cycle as the batteries in all our other Logitech compact mice have EASILY gone several months or more without needing a change.
Tracking performance is excellent and has proven ideal for mousing on the go--I have yet to run across a working surface that the mouse hasn't tracked well...I even used it directly on top of my covers and blankets when I had my laptop unfolded in bed for some home-office work or a bit of Netflix chilling while I was sick. Thankfully, the mouse easily and effortlessly serves double duty for both the Windows and Chrome operating systems. Installation was plug-and-play without any manual intervention (at all!) on both our Dell Windows 10 laptop and our Samsung Galaxy Chromebook--I just plugged in a low profile USB-C to USB-A dongle, plugged in the even lower-profile nano-receiver included with the mouse, and within seconds I was mousing without wires on either device. Even better, you don't need to install a huge, resource-hogging software client (or log into another app or program with an account of some kind) to get things working--nice!
Mousing action is reassuringly solid--left and right clicks aren't hard or stiff, but they do register with a satisfying tactile 'click' rather than just a mushy and indistinct depression of the mouse button. Scrolling is also very easy with detents in the wheel mechanism offering enough haptic feedback and light resistance to aid in precision scrolling--you definitely won't feel like you're just free-spinning the mouse wheel without any fine control over the results on the screen. Overall, this mouse has delivered on everything promised and everything we expected--definitely recommended if the size (and graphic design) suits your needs!
Jul 12, 2021 17:45The mouse is very good.It works perfectly.No issues at all.
Aug 03, 2021 00:20The pattern is a nice touch for a mouse. It performs perfectly as Logitech mice always do.
Sep 05, 2020 11:23You’ve never seen a computer like this before. With a strikingly thin design made possible by the Apple M1 chip. An immersive 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with over a billion colors that gives you the big picture in stunning detail.¹ The best camera and mics ever in a Mac so you look and sound your best. And roomfilling, six-speaker sound that takes movies and music to the next level. It works seamlessly with iPhone so texts and calls go right to your iMac. And with a spectrum of colors to choose from, it’s the all-in-one that’s all yours.
This is my first iMac so I was a little worried about transitioning from a chromebook laptop I had been using for work for the last 2 years. I've been using it for almost 1.5 months now and I'm really happy with it; the biggest improvement has been my video-conferencing, I currently work from home and am people can FINALLY hear and see me clearly (I had constant issues with this with my laptop and figure it was due to my connection). The only drawback is that I don't particularly care for is the mouse and keyboard since they're not ergonomic (I tend get pressure in my wrists) but that's just my preference. Highly recommend overall though :)
Nov 05, 2021 16:17Honestly, I am very pleased with this version. The only downside is the size of the keyboard. If you have large hands, you will definitely find some difficultly typing comfortably. The accessibility features also makes it easier for my older parents to use. Thinking of purchasing a second one.
Jul 23, 2021 06:10I just got it today and oh my God! I LOVE it so much the speakers are loud the screen it’s big. I am using this iMac for my projects and editing photos and i hope it really helps me make better quality pictures.
Jul 02, 2021 19:22Honestly I bought it because of the color. The white bezel has grown on me and I love the new look. The camera quality is a huge upgrade from my previous iMac so my zoom meetings are no longer fuzzy.
Sep 22, 2021 14:24amazing product but its not easy to learn for the not so savvy tech people.
Jul 10, 2021 11:20Enjoy my iMac. Best purchase i have made when it comes to computers.
Nov 05, 2021 15:39Love my new Mac. What I wanted plus more. Super fast. Screen clarity is amazing. Best Buy quick shipping and packaged well.
Aug 22, 2021 23:26The best thing there is out there on the computer Apple is the best
Jul 23, 2021 15:43You’ve never seen a computer like this before. With a strikingly thin design made possible by the Apple M1 chip. An immersive 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with over a billion colors that gives you the big picture in stunning detail.¹ The best camera and mics ever in a Mac so you look and sound your best.

Absolutely fantastic product!!! This iMac-24 delivers everything the ads boast and more. Loving the fact that the iconic computer is a serious top end product that comes in fun colors!
Apple does not disappoint bringing constant innovation to the table. The speed is lightening fast, the screen laser sharp. This is my first Apple desktop, although I've been an iPhone/iPad user for more than 10 years. The transition has been a breeze with this intuitive tool. My only regret is not being an Apple desktop user sooner. Best Buy made this easy breezy. I bought it online and had this difficult to get color in 2 daZe!!!
Dec 04, 2021 21:52Perfect upgrade from my 6 year old laptop that was on its last breaths. New to Mac but loving it. The Retina display is superb and it makes using a computer at home that much funnier.
Jul 18, 2021 14:51It’s small VERY SMALL but it’s exactly for what I needed it for . Perfect for video editing & everything else.
Oct 29, 2021 22:39Best of the Best!! Love my computer!! Getting to know it so much to do I am Happy with it!!
Aug 13, 2021 16:01This is my first iMac & love it
Only one thing I don’t like shin white
I am enjoying my iMac
Totally awesome
Jun 26, 2021 08:28In my opinion the orange one is my favorite , graphics on games are 100 % perfect . 100 % lag free for my first day of experience using tiis macbook . 100 % lag free
Dec 04, 2021 10:31As a Windows pc user just migrating to Mac pc, I’ll se I very impressed with this masterpiece of a machine. It’s very fast in processing, stylish, easy to use, the speakers are very good and your screen is crystal vibrant. I can’t say enough, I love it
Oct 13, 2021 00:02I may be biased as a lifetime Mac fanatic. We absolutely love the look and feel of this thing. Although we just use it for home/fun stuff, it's look blends perfectly with everything. Really has helped brightened up an otherwise gray year. If you're a fan then you've probably already bought one. If you're not an apple fan then you probably wouldn't understand anyway. Definitely worth the money for what we were expecting with the iMacs.
Jun 20, 2021 11:16The 27-inch iMac now comes packed with one of the latest processors, faster memory, powerful graphics, and ultrafast SSD storage. And the gorgeous Retina 5K display is better with True Tone technology and optional nano-texture glass. With macOS and all its built-in apps, the 27-inch iMac is the total creative package - powered up.Apple Brand Store at Best Buy.Shop more Apple products
Wasn’t sure at first but I now love this way more than Windows. Beautiful looking, simple design, high performance yet quiet as a mouse, doesn’t bombard you with constant updates every day like Windows 10 does. Takes up very little space. I don’t play games on it but it’s great for music recording and photo editing.
Nov 02, 2021 14:06I have a book to write and do some graphics. This the 2020 version of Apple 27” IMAC, Retina 5k display, Intel i7(3.8 GHZ Memory) - 8 GB is my first Apple Computer and what I need. I’m slowly getting oriented to it and have MS Office. I need to download couple of softwares. But overall, I’m pleased with it. I won’t know the capabilities until I utilized it with other softwares. I love the screen display and many functions.
Dec 08, 2020 01:05I upgraded from a mid-2014 as part of a regular upgrade cycle. I run a law practice on these machines. I routinely have to run OCR and handle very large PDF files. This new machine, when installed with 72GB of RAM, is excellent.
In addition, the improved video camera and microphone allows a much better Zoom experience for court hearings and client meetings. It was a prime factor in my upgrade decision.
Finally, because these machines are so durable and practical, I was able to sell the 2014 iMac, which was a TOTL for its time (quad i7 and 1TB SSD) for nearly half what I paid for the 2020!
Sep 07, 2020 21:09Acquired my top of the line new 2020 iMac a couple of weeks ago and it performs great as a new Apple product would be expected to perform. Excellent response from the 512GB SSD. Have utilized CleanMyMac to keep my storage size to a minimum. I did not get the i9. The i7 gives great response. Graphics are fast with the extra capability of this model. Added 16GB of RAM to the existing 8GB that came standard and have 24GB total RAM. Started with my first Macintosh in 1986 and have had new models every three or four years since. Got a good price for my old iMac that was a little over three years old. No waiting around for things to happen with the power of this new iMac. Love it!
Sep 11, 2020 17:07Awesome, I've been a Mac user for years. Love the upgrades. First thing was to upgrade the Ram. Very simple. Did it myself. Saved me a few hundred off the top. Love the bigger viewing screen. Went from a 21.5" to a 27" (WOW!) Totally love it. Don't need the Nano screen. Editing photo's. Awesome! I'm not a Pro. This is a big improvement from Apple. Download and upload speeds. What can I say. Blows my old Mac out of the water. I can run several programs all at once and still get my work done and this thing has nooooo lag! I'm not big on gaming. So if you think this is the computer for that. I don't recommend it. This is not a gaming computer. Simplicity of use is aces. Once you go Mac. You never go back! The 1080 camera is awesome for conference calls. Face time, or what ever floats your boat. Couldn't be happier. The 27" is like having a mini T.V. at your disposal. Just a lot more powerful. If your thing of upgrading. It's well worth the money. Pricy, yes! but like anything. You get what you pay for.
Oct 29, 2021 20:54This is the second IMac I purchased. I never learned to operate the first one so I gave it to my son who has 5 girls, 3 are in college so I am certain that one is used!
I waited & waited for someone to come to my house to set it up & finally made an appointment at Apple in Tampa. The Genius truly was a genius because he asked me just what I needed, clarified what I said, went right to work explaining what he was doing, gave me time to ask more questions, showed me how easy it is to use”dictate”, and had me practice it a few times. I am having severe problems with my sight, however, with this computer I can easily tell stories (on paper) just like my 86 year old brother who only has an eighth grade education is doing!
Apr 16, 2021 17:41I am a college student for music production and this was a great buy it helps me with my schooling and its going to help me with my career also is very fast I switched from always buying HP and Dell but was always having issues with Dell and HP to where I said I was going to imac and havent had any issues this far I had issues non stop with my Dell and HP I would highly reccomend getting an IMac
Oct 06, 2021 09:11I Love this computer!! Don't know why it took me so long to convince myself to buy it! When I went to pick it up the Geek Squad helped me get my washing machine fix by hooking me up with the right phone number! Turns out there wasn't really anything wrong with it! You guys are the best! Thank you!!!
Oct 15, 2021 21:59The 21.5-inch iMac features a brilliant widescreen display, a powerful seventh-generation Intel Core processor and Intel Iris Plus Graphics, and ultrafast SSD storage. All in a stunningly thin enclosure that's only 5 mm at the edge.Apple Brand Store at Best Buy.Shop more Apple products
Great Product. It has been a joy accomplishing task with this new machine. It has been over 10 years since I had a apple computer or Laptop and i am absolutely enjoying getting reacquainted with the system.
Jan 01, 2021 20:55It’s exactly what I needed for my small business. Having a desktop computer and dedicated space helps me focus. In my opinion you can never go wrong with a Mac.
Apr 09, 2021 16:33Apple makes the best products! They are innovative and creative while maintaining a simplistic beauty that can be admired! At Best Buy I did not get the best price but was more than happy to pay for the customer service and ease of shopping
Apr 02, 2021 15:46Best Buy says this is a 2020 model, but the computer says 2017. I called apple and they agreed we were given bad info from the Best Buy site and we have 2 2017 models. I called customer service and was told my complaint was not worthy enough to speak to management. My request for a manager “was not approved”. I’ll be returning these and contacting the BBB.
Jan 15, 2021 16:58Apple's computer is great in every way. There is no comparison with other processor ,ram looks everything isperfectp. I took it but my son said it has to be the latest one of 2021 so I gave it back, but when you use Apple's computer. Then all the computers will be forgotten.
Try to use it .
Mar 18, 2021 15:09I really love this computer. I’ve had it for awhile now now and it’s still running smoothly. It has more space than I thought I would need and runs fast. I’m very happy with my purchase!!
May 15, 2021 00:57Love Apple. Apple products are always the best. Great purchased
Mar 08, 2021 18:34I got this as a gift from my son he Surprise me i do Cricut went good with it I love it I’m happy with it I’m so happy my son got it for me
Jan 08, 2021 22:29Now everyone from video editors to 3D animators, to musicians and software developers can turn big ideas into amazing work like never before. iMac Pro is powered by an Intel Xeon W processor with 8 cores for incredible performance. Its Radeon Pro Vega graphics chip lets you build and render amazingly lifelike special effects and VR worlds. And with up to 32GB of memory and 1TB of flash storage, saving and loading projects happen almost instantly.Apple Brand Store at Best Buy.Shop more Apple products
Powerful, but not the best value. Build a 2020 iMac. You’ll get more performance per dollar, while spending much less.
Dec 11, 2020 16:38Perfect computer for 3d modeling and editing, 3d printing, movie making. Light, fast and easy to use. Still learning new functionality every day. Excited to use it for music ventures. Seamlessly integrates messaging and video as well. Beautiful screen and clarity. Really a treat.
Apr 20, 2020 07:33I purchased this computer with the intentions of using it for Video editing of 4K GoPro drone videos and iPhone 4K videos. I am not a movie producer, I just make fun family videos and I don’t want to wait hours for rendering and waiting for videos to process In iMovie. This iMac pro is nearly instant in everything I have attempted to do. I can easily have multiple applications open watching 4K video and edit with no stuttering. It is awesome!!
Jan 18, 2018 20:21Love it , still learning some things with apple itself. Still may have to have someone from the Geek squad come to the house. Need to setup a backup and account to cloud and also use timepiece? Need to make sure I am getting automatic backups. Also on the Trend updates... some questions. I have not been a true apple user so in need of basic information. I learn and take notes while working with someone who does know.
Nov 10, 2020 10:40Good computer expensive but it does the work easy to move
Nov 21, 2021 07:54I took the chance and bought the iMac Pro. I do a lot of video and photo editing. This machine is a beast! It chews through 4K footage in Final Cut Pro X like it was nothing. It has probably cut my processing/rendering time in half. I am really happy I waited and didn't get the Mac Pro tube. I love the all in one design like my last iMac.
Mar 09, 2018 09:27This is the second iMac I have purchased and doubt that I will ever return to a windows platform computer. I enjoy the confidence with Apple products and the security their operating systems provide. The Quality of their products have been far above their competitors.
Feb 05, 2021 21:20This has been an awesome purchase! I wanted a big bad boy iMac Pro but couldn’t see paying the price. Then it popped up $1000 off on the Deal of the Day! Couldn’t pass it up. Have no regrets!
May 29, 2020 17:40The Logitech K380 Multi-Device Bluetooth keyboard for Mac makes any space minimalist, modern, and multi-device, letting you type on your iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac. Connect with up to three Bluetooth-enabled devices simultaneously and switch instantly between them. The K380 Multi-Device for Mac is compact and lightweight. You can type on the device of your choice—anywhere. It automatically detects your device, maps keys, and provides a familiar typing experience with all your favorite iOS shortcuts. So, you can own your space on any Apple device, anywhere.
This is a great keyboard, specially if you have an iPad or an iMac. It works with macbooks and iPhones as well but I won't be using it for these devices as macbook pros have their own keyboard and I don't need one for my iPhone anyways. However, I did connect it with my macbook just to try it out. In fact, I'm writing this review with this K380 keyboard. It works great and I don't see any issues so far. It can be connected to three different devices and is very easy to switch between all three devices.
My main purpose of getting this keyboard was to use it with my Apple TV 4K but unfortunately, it doesn't work with that as the Apple TV 4K is 5th generation and this keyboard only works with 2nd & 3rd generations. This was very disappointing. Typing on apple tv is horrible and not very user friendly. People of own apple tv or have owned will definitely agree with me on this. Now I'm not sure if this is logitech's incapability or just apple tv's 5th generation doesn't support any bluetooth keyboard. I wasn't aware of that first and tried to pair the keyboard with my Apple TV. I went into Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth. Apple TV does recognize this keyboard as "K380 Keyboard for MAC" but when I click on it to connect, it tries and ultimately spits out the error that it failed. I tried at least 10 times using different pairing options before giving up. Tried searching online as well but there wasn't much support. That's when I found out it only supports 2nd & 3rd gen. It would have made life so much easier if it was compatible with 5th gen as well. Hence the reason for deducting 1 star.
Apart from this issue, I didn't find any other problem with this keyboard. It comes pre-installed with two AAA batteries and logitech claims to have two years worth of juice in them, of course that will also depend on your usage. The keyboard is budget friendly, specially if compared with Apple's own magic keyboard. Now, I've never used magic keyboard, so I'm not aware of its advantages over 3rd party keyboards but I've no complaints with this logitech keyboard so far (apart from the above mentioned one). The quality seems great. It doesn't look cheap like some other keyboards available in the market. Keys are quiet and have a good feel to them. I received this keyboard and my new macbook pro on same day (yesterday) and was very excited to use them. I treat any of my new devices as if they are going to break with a slight touch. They trigger my ASMR very easily. The keys on this keyboard are same. It feels so good to press them.
Overall, I'm in love with this keyboard and would recommend it.
Jul 19, 2020 13:50This is a good one! I got this because I had been looking for a decent small keyboard for my Ipad. What I really like about this one is that you can still pair individually with devices, but this has 3 distinct keys color differently at the top left that allow you quickly switch between devices.
Out of the box this looks great. Size is right for a smaller size keyboard, similar to the small Apple one. It’s a bit more solid than the Apple one, the rise is accomplished by designs to slightly raise the top part if you are sitting it on a table or desktop.
Pairing was flawless with both the Ipad and my Macbook Pro. Switching between them was simple push of a button to separately use them. Comfort is key here and this is a very comfortable and quiet keyboard. All Mac keys are here and work great. For my Ipad, I really like the separate keyboard vs. a bulky keyboard case/cover. I don’t always need a keyboard for my Ipad and the portability of this makes it more functional in my opinion. I typically travel ( when I did and hopefully when I do..lol ) with both Ipad and Mac. This will be perfect for that scenario.
I was also able to pair this to my Android Smart TV ! worked great, was able to type and use arrows to much more easily navigate things like You Tube and Netflix searches as well as Web App on the TV. Really nice!
Overall I really like the look, feel and weight of this keyboard. Very well made, quiet and functional in a way that I will use it. I would recommend it.
Jul 13, 2020 12:18Logitech K380 Bluetooth Keyboard
Best Buy TIN had this keyboard as an option. I decided to try it. It is a Bluetooth keyboard that is designed for the Mac, iPhone and iPad. It also reportedly pairs with versions 2 & 3 of the AppleTV.
I paired mine with my 11” iPad Pro and my 2018 Mac Mini. Once paired, I can switch connections with the press of a button. When I power on the K380, an LED momentarily lights up above the pairing key, indicating the device with which the K380 is currently paired.
The layout is nearly identical to the Apple Magic Keyboard without the numeric keypad. Only the top row of keys differs. There are 15 keys in that row on the K380 vs 14 on the AMK that I have. The key functions are very similar, but they are shifted. The K380 can be paired with three devices. The gray buttons in the top row allow me to select which device I want to communicate with at any given time. This forced a shift of the normal function key assignments to the right. The shape of the keys also differs in that the K380 key are round or rounded while the AMK keys are square or rectangular.
The keyboard action is really nice, IMHO. It offers a little springlike resistance that helps with touch typing. It has a very nice feel. After typing on both keyboards, I realized the K380 feel is very similar to the feel of my older, but equally comfortable Apple Magic Keyboard. I think that speaks very well for the K380.
It is powered by two AAA batteries. Logitech says they will last for 2 years. It took some care and a little finness, but I was finally able to open the battery compartment to see the batteries. I was concerned that I might break the latch on the battery cover, but I was careful and managed to get it open without doing any damage.
I like that the K380 isn’t connected to the iPad at all. I can use the iPad normally or grab the keyboard if I want to use it. Many of the other keyboards are also covers, so when I want to shed the weight of the keyboard, I have to also give up the cover. There are pros and cons to both styles, but “detached” seems to work better for me, personally.
While typing this review in Notes, I powered off the K380 to flip it over. The on-screen keyboard popped up on my iPad Pro immediately. When I powered the K380 back on, the on-screen keyboard dropped out of sight again. I can also use the key on the top right of the keyboard to raise or lower the on-screen keyboard.
Using the K380 reminding me what I miss about a physical keyboard when I use my iPad normally. I like the Command-Tab method of cycling through my open apps and the ability to hold the shift key down while arrowing around to make a text selection very precisely. That is much easier than with my finger or using the space bar on the on-screen keyboard as a touch pad (which is now my second favorite method). I also like the “Delete” key rather than reaching up to touch the trash can icon. Command-V is also easier than touching the right spot on the screen and hoping the paste option shows up on the screen. I can also use a combination of actions like touching the screen where I want to paste a block of text and then using the arrow keys to fine tune where the cursor ended up.
I tried pairing K380 with the 4K version of the AppleTV, I couldn’t get it to pair. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or if it truly only works with the 2nd and 3rd versions of the AppleTV. I would like to be able to use the K380 with my AppleTV because typing text (selecting keys) on the AppleTV controller is horrible, but I usually pull out my iPhone or iPad and use the Remote app for this, so I’ll keep doing that. However, I could see where it would be handy to just press F3 (for example) and use my K380 to type on the AppleTV if I happened to be using the K380 with my iPad while watching AppleTV.
Overall, I think the K380 is a great little keyboard that I will use often. I normally take my iPad on trips and leave my MacBook Pro at home. I could take the K380 more conveniently than my MBP and while it doesn’t make my iPad a true MacBook, it does make typing and navigating my iPad (and any laptop I control remotely using my iPad) much easier.
Jul 12, 2020 08:58Unboxing: This comes with the keyboard and already installed AAA batteries with an insulation paper. These batteries are estimated to last 2 years according to the Logitech. There are also some paperwork of course. I would have preferred some velvet cloth in the box so that the keyboard would be properly protected from scratches while in your bag.
Build: Great. I bought the white and its looks so beautiful in person. It feels solid, has some weight to it. This weight and the attached rubber feet prevents it from sliding around while you type.
Typing Experience: Keyboard travel is ideal. I type much faster than using the on-screen keyboard on my iPad. I am actually typing this review with this keyboard.
Connectivity: Easy. Just long-press the connection number you want to connect your device to and it puts the keyboard in connection mode. Put your device in connection mode, select “K380 For Mac” from the available devices list. Enter the number you see on the screen using the keyboard and press “RETURN”. You also don’t get the notification: Using “K380 For Mac” may affect Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity as you get with most Bluetooth devices that connect to the iPad. I got this notification on the other Logitech 380 keyboard for Windows and the non-apple Bluetooth mice I used. Flow (Switching between devices on the fly) also works beautifully.
Other Devices: It works on my Samsung Galaxy Note8. It also works on my Windows computer and my FireTV Stick 4K. I actually tested both K380 types. However, on Windows, the “Start” button becomes “Command” and some other slight changes. Once you get a hang of it, it works well. On Android, the commands are basically unchanged. The function keys also work well on both Windows and Android. Windows also has the capability of changing the assigned functions of some 4 function Keys using the “Logitech Options” software.
Conclusion: If you want an external keyboard and you own an Apple device, this Keyboard is for you even though you own Android and Windows and you use a FireTV stick.
This is an excellent keyboard for the iPad.
Thanks for reading. Peace!
Jul 24, 2020 18:42I was looking for a Bluetooth keyboard for my iPad but wanted it to also connect to my laptop so I bought this one. Since I already have the Logitech Pebble mouse, this keyboard seemed like the perfect combination with it. It is lightweight, portable and it doesn’t make that much noise when typing. Highly recommend.
Feb 19, 2021 23:45The products arrived in excellent conditions. I bought it to use for my tablet but it’s really amazing that I am able to connect it up to three devices. At first it lagged when typing on it, however after a few minutes it was running really smoothly. I find it amazing that they also included batteries since I didn’t even check if I needed to buy some for it. The noise level is not that loud. It’s really obvious if you are pressing the keys really hard but other then that it can be really quiet. I would recommend 100%
Jan 25, 2021 21:43Very nice keyboard. Works good with my small hands. Some of the keys do lag a bit which i did not expect to happen. But, it connects great to my Ipad Pro, the bluetooth sets up fast. There’s no directions that come with it, so just had to figure out how to configure the bluetooth.
Aug 13, 2021 15:30Range is pretty good. Can be used with 3 devices, easy to connect and switch between the devices . No problems so far.
Jun 24, 2021 22:02Master it, anywhere with MX Anywhere 3 for Mac–a compact performance mouse designed for your Mac or iPad no matter where you work –from the home office, to the cafe, to the airport lounge. The electromagnetic MagSpeed scroll wheel is faster, quieter, and more precise. A low-profile design is contoured for the shape of your hand –with silicone side grips ensure that it’s always soft to the touch.MX Anywhere 3 for Mac is built to withstand the bumps and drops of mobile work. And a track-anywhere sensor means you can work on virtually any surface.App-specific button customizations speed up your workflow in the apps you use most. Redefined settings for Microsoft Teams and Zoom let you instantly mute and Start/Stop your video call.Requires Logitech Options software, available for macOS and Windows®.
I got this for my MacBook. It works great and the Logitech Options app allows you to make adjustments and remap buttons. The best feature of this mouse is the scroll wheel. The magnetic magic they put into this wheel makes it worth buying. You can adjust the resistance, ratchet strength, transition from ratchet to smooth, and finally (the best part) no resistance. Scrolling through web pages is so pleasant.
However, with my iPad, the scrolling isn’t NEARLY as pleasant. But I think that’s an issue with iPadOS not having proper support for the mouse. It scrolls fine, but you won’t get the same accuracy/smoothness.
Interesting experience worth mentioning,
While it scrolls nicely on my MacBook, it actually feels even better with my PC. A Mac mouse feels more fluid on my PC than the Mac? Interesting for sure.
Lastly, the 3-button device switcher under the mouse is so convenient. A press instantly toggles between devices when you assign each to a different device. So 1 is my iPad, and 2 is my PC.
Overall, I recommend this mouse no matter what you’re using it for. It works great on any platform (iPad, Mac, and PC).
Just make sure to enable the smooth scrolling setting in Logitech Options and disable resistance to experience the magic of the wheel.
Dec 04, 2020 15:56As compact mice go, the MX Anywhere 3 for Mac by Logitech is one of the better ones I've used. While not perfect, the slim design and form factor, along with the feature set, make this, a great little portable mouse.
I installed this mouse on both a MacBook Air and iPad Pro 2018. Bluetooth setup for both devices was quick and easy. Make sure bluetooth is on for the device you are pairing. Power on the mouse by sliding the toggle button on the underside, then touch the easy-switch button which will automatically place the mouse into pairing mode.For the second and third device you will need to push the easy-switch button until you get to the corresponding 2 or 3. That's it. Once your device sees the mouse in the list of available bluetooth devices, select the MX Anywhere 3 and click connect. You're off and running.
Logitech also offers a Logi Options for Mac, which is a downloadable program (unfortunately not available for iPad OS) that allows you to customize the MX Anywhere 3 to fit your needs. This robust program is a gem and I highly recommend the download. With this you are able to customize nearly every part of mouse. Swap left and right buttons, adjust pointer and scroll speeds, change scroll direction, enable smooth scrolling and horizontal scroll, as well as adjust the scroll force. Additionally you can setup different mouse button actions for individual and specific apps, which is amazing. These profiles are downloaded to the mouse so they are remembered for each device you use.
Logitech has created what they call Logitech Flow which allows you to move the MX Anywhere 3 cursor across multiple computers. This feature must first be enabled inside of Logi Options, and all computers you wish to use Logitech Flow with must also have Logi Options installed. Additionally, all computers must be on the same network. Once enabled, you have the ability to drag and drop files, and move text or images between computers by simply moving your mouse to the edge of the screen onto the next, much like a multiple monitor setup.
Vertical scrolling is line-by-line by rolling the scroll wheel as you would do for typical mouse scrolling (Ratchet scrolling). However, if you free-spin the scroll wheel the MX Anywhere 3 automatically turns to what Logitech has termed, MagSpeed. According to Logitech this will scroll up to 1000 lines per second.
Horizontal, or side scrolling, is accomplished by holding down either one of the side buttons while using the scroll wheel.
The MX Anywhere 3 performs all of the standard and more advanced mouse functions just as intended. Scrolling is fantastic, cursor movements are fluid and accurate, and tracking is flawless. Speaking of tracking, I have not found anything this device isn't able to track on. I have tried different surface types, colors, and transparencies such as wood, laminates, pads, glass, metal, painted, reflective, heck I even used my pants and the accuracy is unrivaled.
Logitech claims an approximate 70 day battery life from a full charge, which is via USB-C by the way. I have not owned the mouse long enough to verify the accuracy of this claim. What I can say is I did not initially charge this mouse. I took it from the box, performed setup, and began using it. After a week of heavy use between two devices, the battery indicates a full charge remaining. Side note - battery life can be found inside Logi Options.
One area I wasn't as impressed was the click noise. Now this is not the loudest mouse I've ever used, but it is far from the most quiet. In a noisy environment you're not likely to notice, however in a quiet area with low ambient noise, you'll definitely notice. I would love to have the much lower click noise of the Logitech Pebble M350 built into the MX anywhere 3.
I want to speak specifically about how this mouse functions with iPad OS. Holy cow! I absolutely LOVE using this mouse with my iPad Pro. If it weren't for the Logitech branding you would almost think this mouse was designed by Apple. Not because of the form factor, but how well this mouse functions within the operating system. I have been able to pull down notifications, trigger Spotlight search, pull up the multi-tasking windows, and perform the typical use-case functions such as selecting text, copy, paste, scrolling, etc. I am truly impressed by how well this works with my iPad Pro.
The form factor is compact and lightweight making this easily portable. I keep this in a small pocket inside my shoulder pack along with my iPad Pro and MacBook Air. No additional charger needed due to the lengthy battery life and the ability to use the USB-C charger from my iPad if needed.
Overall this is a rather fantastic mouse. Customizable, portable, and easy to use and setup. This has become my daily driver. I have no issues recommending the MX anywhere 3 to friends, family, or co-workers.
Sep 25, 2020 22:12This version of MX Anywhere 3 is designed for Mac & iPad users that features a cool pearl white finish to complement the finish of my white desk setup.
This mouse is very compact and portable, designed ergonomically contoured and is very comfortable to hold featuring soft silicone side grips. Also, has a thumb area with back and forward buttons, gesture buttons and a thumbwheel. It comes with next generation MagSpeed scroll wheel similar to MX 3 for mac which is fast, precise, silent and automatically shifts between line by line scrolling and can track anywhere. You can also switch between the ratchet and hyper-fast free spin scrolling by a touch of button. It has lot of customization options that can programmed to different applications via Logitech options software. Like previous MX this mouse can be connected up to 3 devices using Bluetooth (doesn’t come with usb dongle as this is designed for mac).
It works as expected with Windows OS with no functionality loss. I have paired this mouse with 2020 MacBook air, iPad7 and Windows 10 and it works great with no lag. Also, this mouse uses the gesture button to emulate the three finger gestures from the magic trackpad for mac users due to 4000 DPI sensor for flawless control and accuracy anywhere. Works on my glass table without any mouse pad and works on any surface with no flaw.
Battery is advertised by Logitech to last 70 days of use on a full charge and 3 hours of use from one minute of charging. Hope it’s similar to the MX master3 for Mac but will update the review once fully tested after 70 days. Also, the charging cable that includes in the package is USB-C to USB-C.
Overall, great ergonomic, customized mouse with lot of features for mac and for someone looking for the alternative to apple magic mouse 2. Highly recommend this anywhere mouse that is compact, portable, performance for apple fan boys.
Sep 14, 2020 08:48Much better than the Apple Magic Mouse. Better feel in the hand, holds a charge about 3x as long, and personally I like the scroll wheel better than the Magic Mouse version of scrolling.
Very happy!
Nov 03, 2021 13:17This is a review for the Logitech MX Anywhere 3. This is my first experience with the Anywhere series and i am going to compare this this mouse to my Magic Mouse 2 (which i abandoned).
I had a chance to connect this thing to my macbook air and my Ipad and i can tell you that this is a wonderful piece of quality equipment
Pros
——
Battery life -70 days on full charge on a typical usage (About a month on the magic mouse 2)
USB Type C charging , basically you can use your macbook charger
Scroll-wheel - scrolls up-to 1000 lines per second (Magic Mouse 2 does not have a scroll-wheel)
works on any surface (I struggle constantly with Magic Mouse 2 on wood
Available in Pale Gray, Graphite and Pink (Rose)
Cons
——
Would love to have a 6 month battery in exchange for size increase.
BUILD QUALITY
Logitech is king of quality on build. Like every other product i have owned from logitech, it never breaks!! i dont have a good excuse of replacing logitech products. This Mouse - MX Anywhere 3 for Mac is no different, it can easily take a few throws on the wall.
The buttons are made of very good quality and the mouse has a good weight to it. The scroll-wheel is made of metal.
CONNECTION
Connection is through a bluetooth connection and it can connect to 3 devices. you can change the device it connects to using a button on the bottom of the mouse. The mouse can be turned ON and OFF using a different button.
CUSTOMIZATION
You can use the logitech control center to customize the buttons. For example, i use the side buttons for copy and paste.
Pressing the side button and using the scroll wheel will give you horizontal scrolling (This is by default). There is no customization with the magic mouse 2.
USAGE
As the name goes, this mouse is small/compact and it can be used on any surface and still operate with high precision. Hence it is a great travel companion without having to take a mouse pad. you can use it on airports (Once covid ends).
Magic mouse 2 lasts for a month which is half the battery life of the Logitech MX Anywhere 3. I also had a lot of trouble using the magic mouse 2 even on wood, this logitech mouse coasts on any surface!!
1 minute charges gives you 3 hours of usage and the best part is that you do not need a lightening cable like the magic mouse 2. This one can be charged using your macbook charger…
Overall i think it is a great buy and will last a lifetime.
Oct 06, 2020 20:15In the market for a new mouse and I've been a very satisfied Logitech customer so I figured I'd five the MX Anywhere 3 a shot! The light grey aesthetic blended nicely with my iMac and other Apple OEM accessories.
Any iMac owner knows that the included mouse is fantastic, but it's minimalistic. The first thing that struck me about the Logi is that there are 3 customizable buttons. I quickly downloaded the software and made the thumb buttons copy/paste and the top button below the scroll wheel a shortcut to the screen clip feature. So far I LOVE having those shortcuts at my fingertips and makes all three functions so much faster.
The next thing that jumped out at me was the USB-C charging and the charging location at the tip of the mouse. My iMac doesn't have USB-C, but I can only assume that i could use the mouse plugged in, as opposed to the other mouse in my life that has the charger located at the bottom of the device. Definitely another win here!
The ergonomics felt great in the hand and I even kind of liked the way that the rubber sides felt. It is a plastic housing. For me this price point I would imagine that's fair. It didn't feel light or cheap which is great!
The only reason I would deduct a half star is because I quickly began to miss horizontal scroll functionality. True, there is horizontal scrolling if you hold a side button and scroll the wheel but it doesn't feel as intuitive as swiping your finger right and left across the top of the mouse that I'm used to. For me I think I'm OK with that considering the excellent convenience of the 3 shortcut buttons.
Other things that I liked was the easy pairing and the ability to add it to my iPad or MacBook should the need arise. Overall I'm happy with the MXA3 and would recommend!
Sep 15, 2020 21:17Summary: I have been slowly integrating myself into the Mac ecosystem and this mouse makes travel great with my MacBook Pro.
Pros:
- Easy pairing
- USB C
- Outstanding wheel
- Great design
- Accurate movement
Cons:
-No horizontal wheel
Unboxing: The box is not very large. In it, you will find documentation, a USB C to USB C cable, and the mouse.
Set up:
I paired this mouse with my mac. You will need to go in the Bluetooth menu on your computer and pair it with one of the three available devices for the mouse. Yes, you can pair it with up to three computers with a button underneath to switch computer connections.
Use:
Its size is perfect for tossing into a backpack. There are left, right click buttons, a forward / back browsing button set near the thumb, a school wheel and a button to dictate if the scroll wheel will have a smooth scroll or a “click” scroll. I found the “click” scrolling to be a little better overall as the smooth one can overshoot what you are looking at as it is not as accurate as a two-finger swipe on the track pad.
Accuracy over Bluetooth is outstanding, and I could not notice any lag whatsoever in daily use. Reconnecting when turning on is fast as long as your Bluetooth is already on.
The only downside is there is no horizontal wheel so if you want to scroll left/right you will not find it.
Sep 13, 2020 18:59Having used the previous MX Anywhere 2S on a PC, this improves in several aspects an already very well designed mouse.
While being a travel mouse, this is very comfortable for daily, extended use. It feels comfortable in hand. The ribbed sides provide better grip.
The 'for Mac' edition is white (cream) with a silver-painted plastic base. Also it does not come with the MX USB receiver. Otherwise is the same as the universal (black) version.
First, this mouse comes with an USB-C charging port and USB-C cable, so it can be used directly with the MacBook charger or charge from the computer, and it still works while being charged.
It has the two standard left and right button, two buttons (typically backwards and forward) on the left side, the scroll wheel which is clickable (as in middle button) and another configurable center button.
Tracking is precise in any surface I tried, including glass.
The scroll wheel is a standout feature in this mouse: When the 'SmartShift' mode is enabled via the Logi Options application, the wheel starts by tracking in steps, however, if scrolling faster, it automatically switches to freewheel mode. Useful when scanning large pages for example. When the wheel starts rolling slower, it switches back to step mode. This is controlled with magnets inside the mouse. The center button also controls the wheel scroll mode.
Unlike the older model, the wheel does not move left/right, but when the 'Horizontal Scroll' mode is configured on the Options application, it works by simultaneously holding one of the side buttons while scrolling. It took little time for me to get used to this.
Like other 'MX' mouses and keyboards, it can be simultaneously paired to three devices at the same time (Mac, PC, Android, Chromebook, iPad) be either Bluetooth Smart (Does not work with legacy Bluetooth) or with the 'Unifying' USB receiver, that sadly, is not included with the Mac version of the mouse, but if you're already using one, it will pair just fine.
For iPad, it needs iPadOS 13 or 14.
The Logitech Options software that is also used through the MX line provides customization that goes beyond the control panel. It's very well designed with images, animations, and tool tips through the app. Particularly when it's first used.
When used with this mouse, the application can be configured to alter the mouse settings depending on the application being used. This includes web browsers, Microsoft Office suite, teams and Zoom. For example, the default template for Zoom is to use the side buttons to mute audio or video.
Another standout feature is the 'Flow' mode. This requires that one has a compatible Logitech keyboard, one of the MX series mouse, and two or three computers. Both computers also need to be on the same network (although one can be wired and another wireless as long as they are on the same network), and not on a VPN. When both the keyboard and mouse are simultaneously synced to these computers, Flow allows to switch both the mouse and keyboard automatically between computers (It changes the actual pairing selector on both keyboard and mouse, and also lets share clipboard and drag files between computers (copying from one to another).
A minor annoyance is that unlike the previous model, it doesn't work as an USB mouse when plugged via USB-C. Also I did not appreciate that it doesn't come with the unifying USB connector (although Logitech is only providing USB-A versions for it). I find the USB adapter more reliable than the Bluetooth pairing on the MacBook. Particularly, it doesn't work in boot prompts with FileVault.
I'm using the receiver that came with the MX keys keyboard, which can simultaneously pair to multiple keyboard and mouse.
The mouse does work while charging though, which is useful.
Sep 23, 2020 23:23Customize your computer with this Logitech wireless keyboard. Laser-etched backlit keys let you work in virtually any lighting conditions, while the proximity sensors detect your hands to power on the backlights. The PerfectStroke system allows for whisper-quiet, responsive typing. Featuring a unifying receiver, this Logitech wireless keyboard lets you connect one or many mice with just one USB port.
If you are looking for something slim this is not it. Everything else is a plus. I like how the keyboard lights up. It has an insert key, something apple keyboards no longer have. I have a Mac and needed a universal keyboard. This fits the bill. The wrist rest is comfy and the back adjusts up.
Jun 17, 2020 19:54Overall, this is a great keyboard. I'm a heavy user and the rechargeable batteries did not require a recharge until six weeks later after the first charge. That was much better than I expected. The lay out and feel wasn't much different than my other 10 year old Logitech keyboard that bit the dust. The only improvement I recommend is to extend the auto turnoff illumination time longer. It turns off after 3 seconds. That is annoying when working in low light. There is the option to turn on keys all the time but I prefer the auto turnoff to extend battery life.
One thing to note is that my Logitech MX 700 mouse now has some minor compatibility issues that may be from wireless signal interference between the mouse and keyboard. So if you have an old Logitech wireless mouse you may need to upgrade the mouse as well.
Dec 08, 2012 17:18This is probably the best keyboard I have ever used. Some keyboards just don't feel right or aren't easy to type with. This keyboard has neither issue. The only issue i have is that I wish I would have bought one sooner. Not sure if the illumination does anything for me since I only use this in an office setting where the lights are always on, but it's a neat feature to have. The charge lasts quite awhile about 5-7 days without turning off and seems to recharge quickly. This is a great product by logitech...go get you one!
Dec 15, 2016 13:41Love this new keyboard! Didn't need any additional fancy features. I do love how the keyboard lights up just moving my hand over it before even touching the keys.
Jun 18, 2021 19:03This has been a great purchase. I reviewed several keyboards an chose this one to order. I like the feature that lets me run the mouse on the same USB connector.
May 15, 2021 14:22I simply love the wireless backlit keyboard. It's so easy to adjust the brightness, you can adjust pretty much anything on this keyboard. It's a very nice quality. Best Buy always has the best prices, and they only carry the highest quality merchandise.
Apr 24, 2020 18:11Great keyboard! Tactile feel is better than I thought it would be. Additionally, the ability to plug it in and charge it is a “Game-Changer!”
Love it!
May 21, 2021 15:37This keyboard is great because I have at times a dark room.It lights up when my hands come near the keyboard,and turns off when I move away.Saves battery life.
May 20, 2016 20:56With Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse, choose the reliability of a cord with the convenience of wireless – and a 33-foot range – thanks to Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology. This affordable mouse works for up to 12 months on a single AA battery. Set up is simple – just plug the tiny wireless receiver into a USB slot. There's no hassle with pairing or software installation, and M170 is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome.
The Logitech M170 is simply amazing: *But, it's BIGGER than you might think (Palm-Size). I thought, like many, that the Mouse is small, colorful, with texture! But.. [Works as Logitech Quality!]
At about the size of your palm, it's big, comes with a receiver; colored in 3 variety; and, textured grooves on the side. I needed an extra mouse for my household, and @$9.99: Yes.
{Awesome Value for Colored Accessory Mouse}
But, No. Average mouse, with limited quality. It clicks. It performs. It gets the job done. Definitely, yes; but not if you need quicker typing tasks, or click at fast rates per minute...
(Average mouse, Average user, Task completed)
To close, the Logitech M170 is Average, with color and texture. It clicks, and scrolls across the screen smoothly; but at a pace I consider average user. IF YOU NEED A GOOD QUALITY MOUSE, LOGITECH M170 @$9.99 IS GREAT! If you have any advanced needs for outside the residence, travel, app-gaming; I would spend $4.99 extra for the smaller Logitech mouse that gets the job done effectively.

Apr 10, 2020 16:41Great little mouse at a very good price. Simple installation. Tracks beautifully. Sits on my new laptop with ease.
Oct 29, 2021 16:36I bought this to use at my office at work, I absolutely love it. No hassle, no cord, no worries lol.
Jan 29, 2021 16:36Smooth movement, it’s small appropriate for a small hand
Aug 27, 2020 19:00Portable and great quality the fact I can carry it and take it with me is great
Sep 11, 2020 16:13It came without the plug and play usb
I can’t use
Nov 27, 2020 14:00Excellent computer mouse and very affordable. Being wireless makes it portable from computer to laptop and viceversa.
Feb 19, 2021 15:41I needed. Simple mouse and this one does the job. It was inexpensive and easy to use although it’s not Bluetooth but still a great purchase.
Jul 15, 2020 15:06Plug-and-play wireless mouse delivers simple, reliable wireless performance with no delays or dropouts. The tiny wireless receiver gives you a dependable connection with no software and no hassles. Simply plug in the tiny nano receiver and start using your mouse right away. The nano receiver is so small and unobtrusive that you can plug it into a USB port and forget about it. Compatible with Window-based and Mac computers, wireless receiver provides the reliability of a cord with wireless convenience and freedom. Using this advanced, 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity results in fast data transmission and virtually no delays or dropouts. The mouse's 12-month battery life makes sure you don't have to deal with the hassle of frequent battery changes. The On/Off switch and smart sleep mode help conserve power. Wireless Mouse M185 also features a contoured design that feels good in either hand and offers more comfort than a touchpad. Mouse includes the nano receiver and one AA battery.
Works wonderfully. And I was surprised and happy to learn the battery life, because I am notorious for not turning it off. Was a great find for me and my
“at home” job!
Jun 19, 2020 16:20Good little mouse. Does the job. It comes with a mini usb so there’s no mess with cords.
Mar 01, 2021 04:01I like this mouse and have bought few of these already including for my mom, husband and daughter. Super comfortable and great grip. Very good quality and I highly recommend if you want a small mouse and not too fancy.
Apr 29, 2019 07:54A couple of years ago, I purchased a Logitech mouse, which was nice and small and had almost NO clicking sound. That mouse was getting harder and harder to use as the ON/OFF switch is completely smoothed down making it too hard to use. It fit PERFECTLY in my hand and fit in my laptop bag perfectly.
I came to BestBuy hoping to get the same mouse, however the only mouse available was this one. It feels good in my hand, but it is has a larger profile, which means it does not fit in my laptop bag.
The other thing about this mouse is the click factor. This mouse is definitely louder. Everyone hears it when I use it. Thankfully, my wife's Microsoft mouse is much louder than this Logitech mouse, which means she cannot say anything about it. :)
May 21, 2016 22:51Bought several of these computer mice because our company was having an electronics and technology drive to donate to schools to help less fortunate kids with technology. They were just the right size for kids and the price was great!
Sep 12, 2021 11:26I bought this Logitech mouse on the left to replace the 5-7 years old on the right which I loved but the scrolling up/down button doesn’t respond very well. I like Logitech products because of their prices but I gave this one a four star because it doesn’t have a battery status indicator.
Feb 26, 2021 16:16I am very pleased with my new mouse, no problems with it, operates smoothly. Part of the experience was the help I got from your Geek Squad person MItchell. He not only helped me realize I needed a new mouse, but he accompanied me to to where they were in the Henrietta, NY Marketplace Mall store and showed me this and another option and was encouraging, since I am not very confident in my techy skills.
Sep 10, 2021 20:21This mouse works better than a 50 dollar mouse. Paired up perfect with my laptop.
Nov 20, 2021 00:08Pair Surface Go Type Cover with Surface Go* for a full keyboard experience anywhere. Ultra-compact, yet it includes a complete mechanical keyset, backlit keys, and extra-large trackpad. Plus, three colors are covered in rich Alcantara® material¹ for an added touch of luxury and comfort.* Sold separately.
To start with, I want to make it clear that I am a Tech Insider Network member and I received this type cover free of charge from Best Buy. Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.
While this might make one think that my review will be skewed, I actually feel I am in a unique position to review this item since I did not make an emotionally charged purchase.
With that information in mind, I just want to convey how impressed I am with this type cover. I have had many tablets, and I have purchased quite a few different Bluetooth keyboards and keyboard cover options in the past in order to try to simulate the experience of operating a laptop as best as possible. This Signature type cover from Microsoft is an excellent example of what happens when I company designs accessories for its own hardware. The fit, finish, interaction, attachment, and features of this cover are EXCELLENT in correlation with the Microsoft Surface Go 2 I also received from Best Buy.
Every feature you could want is present in this type cover. The attachment to the magnetic port of the tablet is certain and effortless, adding in seconds a custom fit, thin (but not too thin) large (but not too large) keyboard and touchpad that allows you to take full advantage of the Windows 10 experience at your fingertips.
My top favorite features of this keyboard are that is has what appears to be 2 or 3 different levels of backlighting for the keys so you can type in a dark environment with ease or turn it off when the extra lighting and consequent power draw is unnecessary. The touchpad to my knowledge uses Windows Precision drivers and is accurate and easy to use in navigating the Windows 10 environment of this tablet. The touchpad itself is a springboard type tablet with physical spring feedback for the right and left clicks on the bottom of the touch pad. However, it can be used with Windows gestures and multiple finger taps, allowing you to navigate and select without actually having to “click” on the touchpad.
The feel and quality of the type cover itself is excellent, using Alcantara—the same material used for console, seat, and arm rest covers in supercars like the Bugatti Veyron. It is soft and feels very comfortable for the typing experience. My only concerns would be how it holds up to grease or oil stains from sweaty wrists and also how it seems to have an affinity for picking up crumbs and pencil shavings. Keep it wiped down and I think these concerns won’t be an issue at all.
Altogether, I would dare call this an essential accessory to enhance the experience of the Surface Go 2 and add full utility to its usage. Thanks for reading and good luck with your purchase!
Jul 09, 2020 13:13I am using the Signature Type Cover with a Surface Go 2 and I have REALLY enjoyed it so far. The fit and finish and features are such a good compliment to an already great tablet.
The backlit keys are such a welcome feature since I often work in low light and finding keys can sometimes be difficult. Even better, they're adjustable to three different light levels and can be turned off completely if desired.
The material is somehow both soft and sturdy and feels like it will hold up for a long time and makes extended typing sessions much more comfortable and since the Surface Go has an integrated kickstand, the cover is much lighter than solutions for other tablets on the market. The "ice blue" color is more of a gray to me though it definitely has a hint of blue in it.
The interface with the Surface Go is great and has a nice strong magnetic interface that makes it nearly impossible to halfway connect the two and there's virtually no lag between the keyboard and the Surface.
If you have a Surface Go or are considering buying one and are worried about what keyboard cover choices you'll have, don't be. This thing is amazing!

Jul 10, 2020 20:21Easy to connect to bluetooth, easy to use and is beautiful on the eyes!
Nov 11, 2021 18:28The Surface Go Signature Type Cover is a combination keyboard and protective case. It securely connects the Surface Go or Surface Go 2, and transforms it into a marvelously compact and portable laptop.
It uses powerful magnets to snap securely onto my Surface Go 2. The magnets keep it in place and it doesn’t come apart unless I want it too. When not in use, it folds over and protects the tablet front and back.
It is very sturdy when used with the kickstand built into the back of the Surface Go 2. I like this design because it stays upright in laptop mode, on my lap or on a bed, unlike some other floppy hybrid keyboard/case designs that I have used that need a hard surface to stay upright. It is also very adjustable and easily allows for multiple viewing angles.
The individual keys are nicely spaced out for a keyboard of this size. They feel nice to the touch, and are very easy to type on. The keys are backlit and a light sensor triggers the backlight based on the ambient light level. The keyboard illumination can be adjusted up or down, or turned completely off to save battery power, using the keyboard function keys.
The touch pad is responsive, precise and works well in place of a mouse.
The build quality is impressive and it has a luxurious look. It features a material called Alcantara that feels soft and smooth, almost fabric like.
---CONCLUSION---
The Surface Go Signature Type Cover transforms the already capable Surface Go 2 into an even more capable and versatile tablet/notebook hybrid. I consider it a must have accessory, and highly recommend it if you are getting a Surface Go 2. Combined together, they become a powerful laptop that is both compact and portable.
---DISCLOSURE---
I received this product in affiliation with the Tech Insider Network. Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews. That I received this product at no cost did not influence my review in any way. My review is based on my opinion and experience using it.
Jul 08, 2020 12:01Much needed purchase, the transaction was smooth, picked up My purchase and have been very pleased with selection and choice to purchase from Best Buy.
Nov 01, 2019 17:23I received this product from Best Buy through their Tech Insider Network Program. Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.
I can’t imagine owning the Surface Go 2 without the Signature Type Cover – it’s unfortunate that it’s not automatically included, but I would highly recommend buying it if you plan on using your Surface Go 2 for any amount of typing use. The magnetic connector of the keyboard allows it to attach smoothly to the Surface Go 2 with very little effort. (Just hold it near the edge and it pulls into place.) One of the main selling features of this accessory is its multifunctional use. While the keyboard is very slim, it is impressively rigid, and I would be willing to believe that it is effective in protecting the screen of the Surface Go 2 when being used as a cover.
Upon initial use, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the keys were backlit – a must-have feature for me when looking at laptops. The keyboard itself is very slim and lightweight and does not create a feeling of bulkiness when attached to the Surface Go 2. While it is slim in design, it is impressively rigid, and I did not experience any flexing while using it.
Another surprise feature of this keyboard was the small design addition to make it slightly ergonomic. A second magnet runs along the length of the cover which allows for the keyboard to rest at a slight incline when connected the face of the Surface Go 2 - while it is sitting upright via its kickstand.
The keyboard itself does feel a bit crammed, but the only way to improve that – while maintaining a traditional, full-sized keyboard - would be to buy a larger device. While the keyboard had to be condensed to fit, the touchpad was not, and I found it to be very responsive when used.
Overall, the Signature Type Cover is a must have addition to the Surface Go 2, and I would highly recommend buying it to go with the Go 2.
Jul 13, 2020 10:50Full disclosure— This product was received through the Best Buy Tech Insider program. Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.
Overview— This is a beautifully crafted keyboard. The suede-like material feels durable yet soft to the touch (Type cover packaging references it as Alcantara). The keys have just the right balance of resistance and responsiveness in each press giving a gratifying feel. The touchpad has a slightly different feel (harder, less squish) from earlier type covers. To clarify, I’ve owned a Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, and Surface Pro 6 (although never owned a type-cover specifically for this model). Functions register perfectly (vertical/horizontal scroll and pinch to zoom). The overall size, for my tastes, is a bit small. Although, it has started to grow on me. The overall size measures 9 ¾” L x 7 ⅜” W edge-to-edge or 6 7/16” (key surface area excluding fold with magnetic connector). Light-up keys are very bright, such so that it can be used in daylight and you can still see the shimmer around the keys.
Cons— There isn’t much I can complain about except for the raised key bumps (F, J, Vol Up, Prt Scn). Compared to other type covers these aren’t very noticeable. Either not long enough, raised, or too low on the key, I can’t quite figure what. The only other issue (some may say it’s a good thing) I have is the keys are extremely smooth. Other type covers have a very light, almost unnoticeable texture over the key. It gives off a higher quality feel to it, although the texture may cause more dirt/grease to stick to the keys. As I mentioned, this second point is more of an opinion and can go either way.
Jul 08, 2020 15:13“Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.” Microsoft was nice enough to send me one to test. Already owning the Suface Go 1 and keyboard the experience is very much the same. Typing is easy and the key travel and feel while typing is nice. There are several backlight settings. All the necessary keys are there to use windows and control the tablet including brightness and such. The premium material is worth the extra cost in my opinion but not necessary. Its attaches easily and is secure when connected to the tablet. In order to get the full use of Windows it’s optional but realistically necessary. You can use other Bluetooth keyboards which I originally tried but the integration and experience using this one isn’t the same and you get the benefit of portability and protection for the tablet screen. I certainly recommend adding it on.
Jul 08, 2020 11:55Pair Surface Go Type Cover with Surface Go* for a full keyboard experience anywhere. Ultra-compact, yet it includes a complete mechanical keyset, backlit keys, and extra-large trackpad. Plus, three colors are covered in rich Alcantara® material¹ for an added touch of luxury and comfort.* Sold separately.
The keypad functions as a keyboard as well as a protective cover. Because of this it is quite useful. Using it is much more useful than the touch screen capability. I enjoy this facet.
Jan 06, 2019 14:11I bought this to complement a Surface Go I recently bought, and cannot say enough good things about it. I am still evaluating the Surface Go itself and can't say it's as good as my iPad Pro 10.5", but I CAN definitively say this Microsoft keyboard is vastly superior to the iPad's more expensive and less capable one. Note that the iPad's keyboard has no trackpad, and you can't use a mouse with it.
This keyboard has keys with excellent travel, decently spaced considering its size, and a wonderful trackpad that rivals Apple's. I have never seen a Windows trackpad that could compete with an Apple one for smoothness and precision, but this one does. The left-click feel and pointer precision and speed were perfect out of the box, and I didn't have to make any adjustment at all.
This keyboard also has a lighted Caps lock button and adjustable backlighting, unlike the portable Apple keyboard for the iPad, and soft felt-like palm rests. It clasps magnetically to the Surface in a very similar way that the iPad does to its keyboard, which also serves as the power connection, so no batteries are needed, nor does it ever need to be charged.
The keyboard also lays flat against the Surface's screen and magnetically clasps to the frame. Overall thickness and weight between the iPad Pro and the Surface Go with keyboards attached are very similar, though the iPad tablet is about 2mm thinner than the Surface tablet itself. The iPad keyboard itself is smaller and narrower when set up, though Apple chose to also use the keyboard as a stand for the iPad, which adds some bulk when you fold it to stow - whereas the Surface keyboard is entirely flat, since MS built the stand into the Surface itself rather than the keyboard. End result is the Surface keyboard is much larger and more usable than the iPad's, includes a trackpad and more keys, yet is less bulky and takes up no more space when stowed.
I can say this keyboard/trackpad makes the Surface go very usable as a laptop if you're sitting at a desk in a hotel, and makes using applications such as Excel and Powerpoint much more usable and easy to manipulate than they are on an iPad. If you want a portable computer that's easy to tote and very usable as a PC when traveling, the Surface series with an MS Surface keyboard is the way to go. It also has a full set of function keys, as well as keys for brightness, sound, etc., which the iPad's doesn't. See photos - Surface on left.
Mar 23, 2019 12:34I'm not a tech person. I found videos on how to use it. The right size to carry (no heavy and bulky), travel, and go.
Perfect for my needs.
Nov 10, 2021 11:56Great addition to the surface. No connection issues and sturdy.
Dec 03, 2021 18:30Attaches effortlessly, works really well with my surface.
Dec 02, 2021 21:19Size and weight are great for travel and ease of use.
Jan 17, 2020 16:25I replaced my aged laptop with a Surface 2. I got the keyboard along with the tablet. Together they are more than capable. The designers did a fantastic job. The keyboard clips on magnetically. The connection is sure and robust. When closed it protects the tablet screen. The magnet also holds the pen securely. There is an on screen keyboard but it’s a bit of a pain to use. I highly recommend the keyboard to anyone buying a Surface 2. In fact you’d be a right git not to. I’m very happy with my new keyboard. In fact it should be sold in the same package. IMHO
Jul 04, 2020 05:34Good replacement for original keyboard that started to have issues after a year.
Aug 23, 2021 08:11Streamline working with numbers at your desk or on the go. Microsoft Number Pad gives you the perfect number pad when you need it, and a tidy workspace when you don’t. Slim and compact, with premium finish, it pairs perfectly with your Surface or Windows 10 PC, and Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard.
I love it! It’s very useful, I work with numbers at work so if you do as well it’s a MUST buy. It was so easy to connect and works very well.
Feb 19, 2021 15:58A great keypad! I just wish it was rechargeable. Otherwise it’s fantastic. Light and portable.
Dec 06, 2020 11:11Works well, but often times it’s in sleep mode and won’t turn on correctly when you need it to, highly annoying as it pretty much makes it useless as you sit there mashing away numbers and only half of them registered because it was in sleep mode.
Jan 14, 2021 15:01The size and weight is perfect for working off site. The color and texture is easy to clean and the material is sturdy.
Easy to use for both laptop and smart phones
Feb 19, 2021 15:40Love it! I use this daily as a left-handed accountant. Connects with no problems, and can remember its connection to up to 3 different devices. Registers entries a lot faster then the wired number pad I had previously and the buttons are much easier to press. I only wish I could change the number placement, being left-handed. Maybe one day that will exist! lol
Sep 06, 2021 10:39Use this when your laptop does not have a built-in 10 key keypad on the right side. Plus a key to pop open the default calculator to boot.
Nov 29, 2021 16:21This works great and is handy to have for any bluetooth enabled computer without a number pad. It defiantly makes number entry so much easier.
Nov 24, 2021 10:12The Microsoft Number Pad works well with my Surface. It was a very easy install and works flawlessly. Once in a great while it does fall asleep but easy to wake up.
Nov 05, 2021 18:45You’ve never seen a computer like this before. With a strikingly thin design made possible by the Apple M1 chip. An immersive 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with over a billion colors that gives you the big picture in stunning detail.¹ The best camera and mics ever in a Mac so you look and sound your best. And roomfilling, six-speaker sound that takes movies and music to the next level. It works seamlessly with iPhone so texts and calls go right to your iMac. And with a spectrum of colors to choose from, it’s the all-in-one that’s all yours.
The product is pretty good, just wish Best Buy would allow more customization. The Apple Store gives you the ability to add a track pad and additional ram. You can’t do it at Best Buy they only have a few different preconfigurations. The iMac is fast and quiet and recommend the product but if you want to customize it go to Apple.
Jun 18, 2021 16:36Beautiful display and perfect monitor size! Purchased mind for graphic design and marketing use. I also play a few games that run perfectly! I am in love with the design and capability of the device! Definitely an investment, but I know I will be using mine for many years to come.
Oct 29, 2021 17:03Outstanding platform. I’m a photographer and I could not be happier with my IMAC. It runs all my editing software efficiently and the display is superb! It is as essential to my photography as my camera.
Oct 01, 2021 16:04I had a 12-year old iMAC and needed to upgrade. I did my research and when I read the specs on the new 24" iMAC, decided this was the perfect time to upgrade my computer. I love it and am very satisfied with my decision. It is very similar to my older iMAC, but with more bells and whistles and very user friendly. I selected the 512 GB model for maximum storage and I have 4 ports on the back which is very convenient. Great speaker sound! Another plus is that the keyboard and mouse are quickly charged from the computer instead of using batteries. The only drawback is that the ports have been upgraded for the smaller new cables and I am not able to charge my older devices from my new Mac or plug in my external hard drive because they all use the older cables with larger plugs. Overall I am thrilled and Best Buy matched the price of a competitor, so I received an excellent price.
Sep 19, 2021 08:12This desktop is nothing short of amazing. Apple never fails to design an absolutely beautiful machine. As a full time student working from home, I’m willing to invest in anything to make my life easier and motivate me to do my best. This truly does both. The webcam is beyond clear, and looks amazing for video calls. Apple connectivity from my iPhone, to iPad, and to my MacBook is seamless. Downloads are lightning fast. I just have nothing bad to say at all about this desktop. I hope it lasts me for years to come.
Sep 11, 2021 00:29We bought this to replace our 2012 Mac Mini that was no longer receiving updates but otherwise worked well. This iMac is a speed demon for everyday tasks. TouchID is great for purchases and quick logins. The display is better than any regular one you can buy under $700. In the pic, you can see reflections that look purple, but when the display is on, we never get a glare.
We also appreciate that the keyboard and mouse are rechargeable. We’re over 1 month in and still not in need of a recharge. Our old Magic Mouse would use 2 batteries every week if left on.
We’re supplementing the onboard storage with a 2TB SSD drive to hold our photo libraries. This makes the relatively small 512GB that came with it workable for us. If you have big photo libraries, research how to move them to an external drive and save the money. Just make sure it’s a fast SSD.
Jul 09, 2021 17:34Love this Mac!! User friendly and forgiving. Just like your iPhone. I am not very technical and this computer is helping me navigate into a technology world and helping me with my business as well.
Sep 04, 2021 09:53I have never been a Mac person, but I happened to inherit an old iMac and fell in love with the sleek design and large beautiful screen. When it got too outdated to run old programs I decided to take the plunge and replace it with the newest version. It runs so smoothly and has that same beautiful large display screen. I love it!
Jul 03, 2021 10:07Streamline working with numbers at your desk or on the go. Microsoft Number Pad gives you the perfect number pad when you need it, and a tidy workspace when you don’t. Slim and compact, with premium finish, it pairs perfectly with your Surface or Windows 10 PC, and Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard.
I love it! It’s very useful, I work with numbers at work so if you do as well it’s a MUST buy. It was so easy to connect and works very well.
Feb 19, 2021 15:58A great keypad! I just wish it was rechargeable. Otherwise it’s fantastic. Light and portable.
Dec 06, 2020 11:11Works well, but often times it’s in sleep mode and won’t turn on correctly when you need it to, highly annoying as it pretty much makes it useless as you sit there mashing away numbers and only half of them registered because it was in sleep mode.
Jan 14, 2021 15:01The size and weight is perfect for working off site. The color and texture is easy to clean and the material is sturdy.
Easy to use for both laptop and smart phones
Feb 19, 2021 15:40Love it! I use this daily as a left-handed accountant. Connects with no problems, and can remember its connection to up to 3 different devices. Registers entries a lot faster then the wired number pad I had previously and the buttons are much easier to press. I only wish I could change the number placement, being left-handed. Maybe one day that will exist! lol
Sep 06, 2021 10:39Use this when your laptop does not have a built-in 10 key keypad on the right side. Plus a key to pop open the default calculator to boot.
Nov 29, 2021 16:21This works great and is handy to have for any bluetooth enabled computer without a number pad. It defiantly makes number entry so much easier.
Nov 24, 2021 10:12The Microsoft Number Pad works well with my Surface. It was a very easy install and works flawlessly. Once in a great while it does fall asleep but easy to wake up.
Nov 05, 2021 18:45Optimized for exceptional comfort and a compact, space-friendly work area, Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard features a smooth, elegant finish and low profile. It delivers optimized key travel and a built-in expressive input (emoji) key,⁴ plus a Screen snipping key to quickly capture, copy, paste, and share.
Nice keystroke, deeper than Apple Magic Keyboard, fits in my slim computer case. Doesn't work with MacOS tho.
Oct 05, 2021 15:30I have a SURFACE PRO 3 and PRO 4, with the detachable keyboard.
I really enjoy them for the freedom of use.
Well one evening I knocked over a cup of water, and unbeknownst to myself at the time of the spill, some water went into my PRO 3.
The outcome..... two fold;
The first - My keyboard/mouse pad no longer typed or moussed to my PC.
The second - I now have bright spots on my PC screen. (see pictures provided.)
I like to use multiple screens, but with no active mouse pad I was not able to perform this any longer.
First thing I did was purchase an ARC MOUSE designed for MICROSOFT SURFACE PCs.
It performed perfectly straight out of the box. Like my PC knew it was there and started asking as soon as I removed the battery blocking tape.
I clicked yes to connect with the new ARC MOUSE.
SERIOUSLLY....THAT SIMPLE!
I don't Know about you, but I HATE TYPING on a virtual keyboard with the connected Bluetooth pen, my finger or even this new mouse.
TO DARN SLOW.
The mouse ONLY connects to ONE device at a time. That's fine.
SO....
I went back to BEST BUY to see if by-some-chance there was a keyboard that would connect via Bluetooth for a MICROSOFT SURFACE PC.
Low-and-behold, they did and do.
The DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD made by the same manufacturer, I believe.
When I removed the battery blocking tape it didn't connect as fast. I actually went into settings to install a Bluetooth keyboard. From that point it was just as simple.
The PLUSSES of this keyboard are that it can connect to three separate Bluetooth devices at one time, it's separate nature from the PC and it's compact nature.
YOU HAVE TO SWITCH BETWEEN THE 3 DEVICES, but it is as simple as hitting the F1 key(this key has the BLUETOOTH symbol on it and numerals 1,2,3 in a vertical stack. Each numeral has a light by it to notify you of the particular device connected and active.
I recently purchased a SAMSUNG smart TV which allows Bluetooth devices to connect.
Both the ARC MOUSE and the DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD connected easily.
This was the point at which I found out that the mouse will only connect to ONE device at a time,
The DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD works exquisitely with my TV, but even better with my SURFACE PRO.
The DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD fulfills my expectations and enables me to sit away from my PC utilizing my new SAMSUNG TV and an older HDMI connected TV as UHD and HD monitors, AND to use exclusively with my SAMSUNG and its various applications(no PC involved).
The power switch on the back of the DESIGNER COMPACT KEYBOARD is actually in the off position when the FLORESCENT ORANGE color is visible. Off when no color is visible. This is disconcerting... or was at first.(see photos provided)
Apr 10, 2021 05:08Excellent keyboard. Has a great short throw, solid buttons that don't wobble. Here is the big catch... It is *not* a wired keyboard as it says in the description. It is Bluetooth only! Big difference. It also takes CR2032 batteries, which is an odd choice but helps keep the compactness of the keyboard.
Dec 17, 2021 14:17Big things do come in small and well designed packages. Whoever coined that phrase had to be thinking about the small but huge designer keyboard. I mean this sweetheart can date three (3) devices in one studio session. Nice real nice.
Dec 11, 2020 17:43I knew I would like this keyboard, but when I finally got my hands on it I was even more satisfied. I was looking for a keyboard to use with my HP laptop, this it was just what I needed. If you’re the same as me, you want a small keyboard to pair with a laptop and want to take it places.
It has a nice compact sturdy feel to it and the keys feel satisfying to press. Very easy to use, set up, and small enough to throw in My bag for work or traveling. Keyboard connects back quickly after sleeping, literally less than a second.
Definitely would recommend.
Mar 30, 2021 22:04It's got a nice weight to it. The keys have a good feel to them. They are nothing like the other Microsoft Keyboard (the full-sized, non-designer keyboard). Those keys feel mushy and cheap. I picked this keyboard up for $54.00 and it is well worth the money for me. I was going to pick up the Apple Magic Keyboard, even though I am running a Windows 11 machine, but I am glad a passed over it. My only critique is that there is NO backlight to this keyboard. This is something missing from a good amount of small, compact keyboards (not all, of course). I believe manufacturers should prioritize such a function, as a backlight is very nice to have. Regardless, though, I will be recommending this keyboard to anyone looking for a non-specialized (ie., mechanical w/ XYZ key types) keyboard!
Oct 29, 2021 13:06There are many keyboards on the market. I mainly bought this one because I am used to the Surface keyboard layout, and this is exactly identical to that. Otherwise, this is still a great keyboard. It's fairly quiet, easy setup since it is recognized by windows, and easy to use without looking down all the time. Holds connection well, haven't experienced any connection drops. Not bad for light gaming, great for essay writing at 3am, and looks great on any desk.
Dec 12, 2021 03:15Was looking for a small, compact keyboard that was good to bring back and forth from work. This keyboard is great! It looks clean and works well. I have not had any issues with it so far! I would recommend to others. I liked it enough to purchase again for a family member for Christmas.
Dec 17, 2021 16:18Compact enough for any space, and versatile enough for all setups—this is the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed. Enjoy seamless gaming in a sleek package with a wireless 65% mechanical gaming keyboard that still retains arrow keys for the perfect balance of form and function.
TLDR Overview-
This has been the most expensive keyboard I've boughten, but it was worth it. So I love wireless peripherals, I'm not competitive, but I do expect more for my gaming experience, I bought this with expectation to return due to the input lag stigma of wireless keyboards, to my surprise I got home and and fell in love with the performance, I couldn't tell a difference from my previous wired gaming keyboard. I was satisfied.
Keys-
I hate the clicky sound of a ton of mechanical switches, but this one, thankfully, does not have that. It has a plain silent tap. which I love. the keys are nice and comfortable and I got no complaints. However, I do not enjoy typing on it, and I do have a dedicated typing keyboard (flat chiclet) and a dedicated gaming keyboard (BW V3).
Wireless-
I tested as much to my knowledge and ability, and found that I did not notice a difference between my wired gaming keyboard and the v3 wireless. I did some mild tests on the input lag and both were the same. I love wireless and this one is good. However, I am not that much of a competitive pvp gamer, I like story games, so you might want to do further research on that.
Battery-
I mildly tested this feature, and seems alright. With full, dynamic RGB lighting, I get around 20% lost with 2 hours of gaming. But if you set the RGB to plain white, and 40% brightness (in my opinion is enough), then the battery is dramatically longer. doubling it. And yes, you can charge it and use it at the same time, and still works when connected to a wall for charging as well.
Price-
Now I know the price seems steep, at 180, but i bought this at 150, and even then that's a little steep for me. However, I did recognize that not a lot of companies are making 65% wireless keyboards with this level of performance, so I felt justified with this purchase, its capitalistic scarcity really won, and I paid that luxury. Hopefully we see a rise in this category of keyboards for a more competitive playing field in the market in the near future.
Oct 30, 2021 14:20Keyboards from large companies from Razer are usually pretty alright, and this Razer keyboard is no different.
Keyboard enthusiasts would look down on this keyboard, but this keyboard is not for them. No, this keyboard is for someone looking for the bare minimum in terms of useable keys with excellent RGB. I got the yellow "quiet" switches and I got to say, they aren't much quiet at all. Not as quiet as their orange switches. Yeah, they are not as loud as their red or green switches, but that's not saying much.
This keyboard has a dongle for connection, Bluetooth AND USB-C is a killer feature, though.
I mostly got this because of the minimum clear space of my keyboard, all in all, this is a nice 65 percent. I feel like this is as little as I'm willing to go and it fit my needs.
That all being said this is overpriced (as all Razer products tend to be) and it is a crying shame it does not come in white.
Overall, this is Razer's best keyboard, but that's not saying much when you can build your own for cheaper and there are other keyboards offering things like a display, better functioning software, and better prices. This is a good pick-up, but I'd say on sale only.
My keyboard has pudding keycaps to better see RGB.
Nov 10, 2021 03:14i purchased this keyboard to complete my gaming setup. the only issue was getting used to a smaller keyboard, i was used to a full length one. but the keyboard has great battery life. very light weight.
Oct 22, 2021 21:13Razer had some bumps early on when it comes to wireless connectivity and the stability of their Hyperspeed options although they seem to be in a good spot right about now. At the time of this review I was using this device for a few days and only needed to charge it once maybe twice. I had read previous reviews on the full-size Blackwidow V3 Pro and people stated battery issues. For this device I tried to mitigate it as much as I could. I set the device to power down after 5 minutes of inactivity and I also set the brightness of the LEDs to 25%. The lighting was bright enough to see all the effects for my games and for my own personal designs set on Syanapse 3. I used other 60% boards but I missed the arrow keys far too much and I wanted to clear up some desk space. The 65% is a perfect fit and I access to all the keys I need. I hardly use the function row so this works out great for me.
The switches are purely a preference and I enjoy silent switches and the yellows fit the bill to a 'T'. With the added thickness and density of the keyboard the device doesn't reverberate as much when hitting the keys with force thanks to that batter in the lower compartment of the device.
I'm also taking advantage of the multi-device support that Hyperspeed has to offer. I have it paired with my Razer Naga Pro dongle and having that one dongle to control both I haven't noticed any stuttering or connection issues. Make sure to update the firmware for your older devices from Razer's own page (Mainly the Blackwidow V2/3 Pro, Naga Pro). Others noted that if you use two dongles nearby it can cause some issues to using multi-device is your best option to make sure your devices are working as intended. Can be a bit tricky to pair, you have to press a key as the pairing process is happening.
One small peeve of my but completely negligible is the fact that compared to the Naga Pro the device doesn't turn off on it's own when it detects that the dongle is not active. I assume this is because of the Bluetooth capabilities so I'm not really that concerned over it.
TL;DR
Make some changes to light settings, pair multi-device if at all possible, turn off when not in use to keep charge on the device. Keep these in mind and you'll have a great wireless keyboard on your hands.
Jun 04, 2021 12:46Very small keyboard perfect for long gaming sessions. I love the fact that you can customize the colors and style. Very comfortable easy to use
Jul 24, 2021 23:09Love the feel of this keyboard so much. I tried a couple keyboards prior to this but nothing beats the typing feel and overall weighted feel the keyboard has. Doesn’t feel cheap.
I tried the steelseries apex pro tkl and the Corsair K65 Mini and neither beat the feel of this keyboard.
Nov 15, 2021 22:43I love this keyboard I wanted to build my own but diddnt want to pay $500+ this fit for everything I wanted in a keyboard
... I ended up buying 2 am not dispointed!
Nov 20, 2021 12:29If you are looking into compact and silent mechanical keyboard - this is it! The switches are so quiet and it's so smooth when you type. So if you have limited space in your desk or you want an alternative to your mechanical keyboard - this is worth it.
Oct 16, 2021 15:20Logitech K360 wireless keyboard is ready when you are. This compact and portable keyboard fits into your tight workspaces, small offices or wherever you take your laptop or computer. Enjoy more comfort with a layout you're used to in a space-saving design that's about 20 percent smaller than our standard keyboards. Equipped with a number pad and 12 easy access keys, you can be more productive at home or at work. Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity gives you the reliability of a cord with wireless convenience and freedom - all in a tiny Logitech Unifying receiver that's small enough to stay in your laptop and also lets you add up to 6 compatible devices to it.
I bought this keyboard for a work-from-home setup where my monitors take up the vast majority of the desk space. The nature of my job means that I NEED to have the numberpad on my keyboard, which ruled out most other compact keyboards. Some of the buttons, particularly the Home and Page Up and Down keys, are not where my fingers expect them to be, but the letters and numbers are right, and that's what matters.
Aug 21, 2020 22:33The first piece of advice I can give is to open the box correctly. I did not and it took me minutes to find that the receiver was in the box and not on the keyboard. LOL!
Had a Logitech M510 wireless mouse. Had to download software to work with the unifying receiving. So, the wireless keyboard and mouse is connected with one unifying receiving taking up only one USB port that's a plus. This keyboard is comfortable to type on for extended periods. It is the best keyboard, no however it gets the job done.
Sep 16, 2020 12:51No matter the device you use it with it is smooth and effortless. Just plug in the USB and get to work! A must have in these WFH and LIVE Teaching for 6 hrs straight times!
Sep 12, 2020 08:50Basic keyboard that works very well. I was sure happy that I was able to pick one at my local Best Buy.
Sep 24, 2021 18:15I have this as a second Keyboard for a laptop which also has hooked up to it... a secondary screen. Works very well and is my primary keyboard regardless which screen I am viewing. very resonsive and has no lag. I recommend for sure especially at the sale price.
Mar 22, 2020 10:17It was a great purchase the keys are pretty soft and easy to type
Oct 17, 2021 10:13Great keyboard for non long term use (more than 8 hours). It fits my needs. I use it primarily when reading e-papers & posting comments.
Sep 09, 2020 19:15I replaced an older keyboard that was actually to big so this is just the right size.
Mar 30, 2019 15:39Optimized for exceptional comfort and a compact, space-friendly work area, Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard features a smooth, elegant finish and low profile.

Oct 29, 2021 13:06Nice little keyboard that is perfect for traveling. Easily connects with Bluetooth. I do a lot of traveling and one of the things that I often wish I had was an actual keyboard. This fits into that gap. The only reason I give it a 4 star and not a 5 is that it is made of plastic and not the same material as my “office” keyboard, the Microsoft Surface keyboard. That is just a preference of mine and I want to make sure everyone is aware that it is not the same material. It however works great and is a wonderful typing experience.
Oct 17, 2020 22:57Great in size and weight. Easy to carry in a backpack. Bluetooth connection is a plus. the only thing I don't like about it is the batteries. It uses four coin-cell (C2032) batteries. make sure you have spare batteries at all times.
I would prefere a rechargable battery or a AA/AAA bateries which you can find easily at home or any retail shop.
Oct 19, 2021 07:04Small, light, easy to use Bluetooth keyboard.
It uses the coin batteries instead of a rechargeable internal battery. However, that also means that the battery is user replaceable so the longevity of the product should be good. Anyone who uses a Surface keyboard should be very familiar with the layout of the keys.
Since it's a small (and thin) size product, it's best to note that for larger hands, it might be cramped. And it will take some practice to use one-handed, if that is your thing.
Jul 16, 2021 16:01Dell Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo enhance daily performance and productivity with this keyboard mouse combo that fits into virtually any workspace. Easily switch between 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth connectivity.Multi-OS compatibility. Tested and certified to work seamlessly with Dell systems.Programmable shortcut keys/buttons with customizable keyboard tilt.
This keyboard/mouse combo is nooice!!! I love the key feel, great feedback and spring. Very quiet. Peripheral Manager installed without approval? Didn’t care for that. As soon as I plugged in the USB receiver it started running a script to install the software and didn’t give me an option.
There was a Firmware update out of the box, but failed multiple times for the mouse. First try it timed out at 43% and the LED on the mouse kept cycling through the connections. It did that for some time. I tried a couple more times and just kept failing.
Before the Firmware update it was pretty seamless switching between the desktop (receiver) and bluetooth mode...I had only connected to my Galaxy S20 FE, which was hooked to a monitor and running in DeX mode.
Will be curious if it retains the 3 year battery life with multiple connections.
The keyboard size I like, but I imagine will vary by user. It is smaller than a standard keyboard but not by much. I have two 13.3” laptops one is a Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 and the other is an LG Gram. The keyboard (minus the 10-key) is the same size as those laptop keyboards in both height and width...of course that is using sophisticated optics to measure (my eyeballs). In the pic top is the Dell, the middle is the combo that came with my HP desktop a few moons ago, and the bottom is a Logitech setup.
The mouse design is the classic/ergonomic palm mold, so it fits great in hand and is super precise and tracks very smoothly. I just the keyboard tray that is faux wood vinyl layer and it works great. The scroll wheel is super smooth and also has left and right click and down click functionality on the wheel. I'm used to that feature, but the thumb keys are new for me, so may or may not utilize them.
Hotkeys
Windows 10 they are programmable. While the bluetooth and USB receiver are also supported on macOS and couple Linux distributions, it does not indicate that you can reprogram the hotkeys. But at least the hotkeys should work for their default functions.
iOS v14.2 on iPad 10.5” Pro 2017: The Hotkeys work for all intended purposes. The Home button mimics the navigation button and allows full control. If the screen goes dark the home button will unlock the device as normal. I don’t have any lock screen security setup so I cannot comment on whether it will override the need for biometric/swipe/numeric unlock inputs.
Android 10/One UI 2.5 on Galaxy S20 FE 5G: As on iOS, Hotkeys are working great! The only extra functionality that it has over iOS is the Lock Button (F9) actually locks the device. Again, I am running this with the DEX mode with a dock and a monitor. I do have security on my lock screen for this device, but I guess having input devices connected overrides this as in both DEX mode. Switching to just a screen mirror it is the same.
Device Switching
It's working great. Switching between the 3 different devices is pretty cool. Connection is defaulted to the USB Receiver, #2 = Galaxy S20 FE, #3 = iPad Pro 10.5” 2017.
Switching to the iPad was the slowest to connect...maybe 5-6 seconds, the others are near instantaneous when cycling through the list. I do wish that the keyboard and mouse were synced so that if you did one it did the other. Looking at the requirements for functionality you really need both devices to fully control any one device. But since on Bluetooth the keyboard and mouse are synced independently I understand the two-step process.
So far overall use is as expected on the Windows 10 desktop and iPad/iOS. While the Galaxy S20 FE I kept experiencing lag in the mouse, but the keyboard never showed any. And outside of the longer connection delay with the iPad those are the only two issues I have found.
I still have had issues getting the firmware for the mouse to update, but honestly I have not had any issues out of it before or after the attempt. Possibly it is a bluetooth update which may make the mouse better on Android?
All-in-all this product definitely delivers on its utter ease and ability to switch between devices.
I have jumped between each of the devices to write this review using Google Docs as it's the easiest to connect and sync on all devices using three different OSes and is pretty cool.
I have a few situations where the multi-device functionality will be a nice addition, but for me I was looking for something that didn’t have the issue that I ran into with the Logitech setup where the mouse had severe lag and tracking stabilities after a Win10 update recently. It has been a long time problem between the two companies that only just reared its head for me, but Dell just got a convert! The included HP setup I quit using as it too had receiver issues both in the mouse and keyboard, but after using it for a few weeks I didn’t seem to notice those now.
I can easily recommend this product. Honestly the cost is not too much of a stretch for the quality of the product and then add the tri-device functionality, it really is a win either way you shake it.
Oddly enough the battery compartment is the same design as the HP in the photo, however the HP requires a good jab with a flat head screwdriver/letter opener/or whatever blunt object is laying around. The Dell was easy to open thankfully.
If I get 3 year battery life, great. If not a few AA batteries will keep me going. Included are Duracell which seems to be pretty standard with keyboards and mice that I have purchased over the years.
Dec 29, 2020 13:29I am very impressed with the design and operation of this wireless keyboard and mouse package. I am able to instantly and reliably connect it to Windows or Chrome devices. I can not recommend this package highly enough, the performance and multi-device pairing is flawless. Do not be concerned about them being too compact, they make for an excellent primary mouse and keyboard.
The mouse is very comfortable to use and fits naturally in my hand. The optics are outstanding and makes for very precise tracking. The scroll wheel operation is smooth and controlled. The mouse is right hand oriented, so left handed users might have to make some adjustments to compensate.
I normally don’t prefer compact keyboards because they make too many compromises, but this keyboard is an exception. It strikes the perfect balance between function and size. It is very ergonomic, and the layout makes the buttons easy to reach and use. The keyboard is not backlit, but likely this is to maximize the battery life.
The 2 possible connection methods are wireless (1) or Bluetooth (2,and 3). Two different Bluetooth devices can be paired into memory for an instant connection via keyboard hotkeys. Whichever method is used, setup and use could not be easier.
For wireless (1), the first step is to pop the mouse cover off and remove the USB receiver and insert the included AA battery. Then insert the 2 included AA batteries into the keyboard by removing the cover on the underside. Then turn them both on by way of an on/off switch. Insert the USB receiver into your device If you are using the wireless connection (1 is the default connection). To use the USB receiver there must be an available USB-A port. Once the USB receiver is inserted, Plug and Play is initiated and the necessary driver is downloaded and configured. It only takes a few seconds before the keyboard and mouse are ready to use.
To use Bluetooth there are buttons on the top right hand corner of the keyboard that toggles between the connection choices (1,2,3). Then search for the Dell mouse or keyboard in your Bluetooth device list, and pair it. Once paired it will be permanently stored and easily selected via the keyboard hotkey. Using Bluetooth to connect does not interfere with the use of Bluetooth headphones or speakers at the same time. If Bluetooth is the primary connection method, then the USB receiver can be conveniently stored in the mouse until it is needed.
The AA batteries are rated to last 36 months. I have been using them extensively for the last week and the batteries are still showing as 100 percent, so I have no doubt that they will last as long as they are rated too.
Dec 30, 2020 14:09This keyboard and mouse combo looks good and works well. There are lots of thoughtful touches and it has a quality feel. It is perfect for people who have limited desk space or a desk with a keyboard tray (like me). I also love being able to switch between multiple computers quickly (working from home means my work and personal computer are in the same space).
Pros
- Compact Keyboard is a perfect fit for a my keyboard tray - allowing me to use my mouse and keyboard comfortably on the same level.
- Typing feel is good and the keyboard has fold out legs to lift it up slightly if needed.
- Multiple connection options (Bluetooth & USB Receiver)
- Button allows you to easily toggle between up to 3 computers (2 paired via Bluetooth and 1 via the USB receiver). This is a great feature for me as I have a work and home laptop that I regularly switch between.
- If you don't have Bluetooth, both the mouse and keyboard are connected to a single USB receiver.
- Batteries are included and are standard AA type batteries, which are easy to find and swap. Battery life is great so far, but I have only been using it for a few days (still shows 100% full in Windows Settings).
- Keyboard has configurable short cut keys for things like volume, media, internet, locking the computer, and launching the calculator app.
- Mouse has 2 configurable side buttons and the scroll wheel also acts a configurable middle button.
- Physical power switch on both the mouse and keyboard allows you to turn them off if you will not be using them for a while or you are transporting them in a bag/case where the buttons might accidentally be pressed.
- Mouse and keyboard response are good. I was able to play a few first person shooter type games with them and they worked fine.
Things to Consider
- Key placement is great for the most part and the keyboard still has a full number pad, but the some keys are configured differently due to the compact size. The arrow keys, backspace, delete, insert, and end keys are smaller and arranged differently from a normal keyboard. I have more than once hit the number lock key when I meant to hit backspace (for example). The page up/page down keys are missing - accessible using the function button only. I don't mind the trade off for the smaller size and I think the layout just takes some getting used to.
- There is no number or scroll lock light (there is a caps lock light on the key). This is not a deal breaker, but is frustrating when you accidently hit number lock due to the unique key layout and don't realize it.
Dec 29, 2020 00:13Using this to edit videos on a Mac. Solid build quality. Finish goes nicely with my Mac mini. I am able to use the computer from our couch while using my iPad as a wireless monitor. Keyboard and mouse feel hefty which I hope means they are well built and will last a long time. Keyboard is about as compact as it can get for a full-size with numeric keypad. Compact enough to fit on my lap desk.
Dell did a great job with this keyboard and mouse combo. I love it.
Aug 08, 2021 14:52I’m a long-time fan of Logitech peripherals, and I was drawn to the KM7120W from Dell because of it’s similarly minimalistic design that is seen on Logitech’s higher-end wireless products. I also tend to love Dell’s keyboards (at least, the ones on their laptops), so I thought there might be a chance at some excitement in the product.
The keyboard is, in some sense, a full-sized keyboard in that it contains a number pad—but the delete/home/end/insert and page up/page down keys are either compressed to the function row or to other keys. The body is fully plastic, but the materials are premium feeling. The keyboard also has a three-tone gray palette which is great for those looking for minimalist designs.
The keyboard has two height configurations, neither of which are flat; the default configuration without adjustment is adequate for me, however, I prefer a flat option. The legs that can be extended serve as ‘anti-slip’ components for the bottom of the keyboard in both configurations.
Key travel on the keyboard is really, really good—not too much, not too little. In some ways, it could be thought of as an offspring of a traditional Dell laptop keyboard and a standard Lenovo laptop keyboard; if you’re familiar with those experiences, this is as close to high praise as it comes.
It can be paired with up to three devices; two of those devices by bluetooth and the third by the included USB Type-A dongle included in the box. It is powered by two AA batteries which are also included.
The mouse has a total of 5 buttons (left and right click, scroll wheel click, and buttons along the left side where your thumb rests). It is what I would call a ‘medium-sized’ mouse, sitting firmly between the MX Master 2S and the MX Anywhere 3. Like the keyboard, the body is fully plastic but doesn’t feel particularly cheap.
The USB dongle has a magnetic storage area below a magnetically attached plate on the top of the mouse; the battery compartment for the single AA battery (included) is also under this plate.
Because of its plastic build, the mouse is very lightweight and feels comfortable to use for extended periods of time. Dell did a good job designing something that would appeal to high-end mouse enthusiasts.
The devices are clearly intended for use with Windows machines, as the Dell Peripheral Management software is a Windows-only program at this time. That said, the mouse and keyboard work without issue on macOS.
The software allows you to customize some buttons on the mouse and keyboard. It is straightforward and easy to understand, but I would like to see some additional mapping/configuration options for more than just a subset of the buttons/keys. The keyboard’s function keys (which double as media and other controls) can be customized, as can the thumb and center click buttons on the mouse.
There are options for standard system commands, as well as customizable keypresses (for instance, I configured the center click on the mouse for Windows + Shift + S for the Windows Snip and Sketch software). One minor complaint—the scroll direction on the mouse cannot be switched within the software, although you can still accomplish this with some clever registry adjustments if you want to get your hands a little dirty.
The pair of devices comes in at $89.99, which is a good price all things considered. It’s clear that this product will compete with some mouse/keyboard combo options from Logitech, but the design language used here make this a good choice for someone who is looking for an inexpensive minimalist keyboard and mouse.
Jan 15, 2021 14:14I received this keyboard and mouse combo free in exchange for an honest review.
I attached it to my PC via wireless dongle, and to my iPad via bluetooth.
There were no issues connecting to both, and switching between them was at the push of a button on the keyboard and the mouse.
I was able to keep the mouse on one and the keyboard on the other.
You can connect up to 3 devices (1 wireless dongle, 2 bluetooth) and switch between them seamlessly.
The keyboard feels very premium and has some weight to it. It only uses 2 AA batteries and the mouse uses
1 AA battery. Dell claims the battery will last 36 months, so I can't comment on battery performance on this review.
They keyboard keys are very clicky, with a rubberized texture and a mechanical feel. They are very responsive
and springy in a good way. The mouse has side buttons which can serve as "back" and "forward" buttons on your browser.
If you have several computers or devices you work at the same time, I recommend this combo to avoid having to switch between keyboards and mice all the time.
The up and down arrows on the keyboard are small, but probably the price to pay for its compact size. There is no backlight, but it does have an "FN" key to add extra functions to the keys.
This combo is compatible with PC, Mac, iOS, Linux, and Chrome OS, so you're covered with many systems.
Jan 06, 2021 10:47I replaced the keyboard and mouse duo that came with my Dell AIO desktop with this one, and it is infinitely better. The one that came with my desktop was cheap, plasticky, and of a white/off-white color that became dirty and dingy pretty quickly, no matter that I cleaned it regularly. This one is in classy, modern shades of dark grey with black keys, and a look and feel that is vastly superior. I think it’s a bargain for the price because it works very well. I like that you can adjust the height/angle of the keyboard, and its compactness on my desk. I type an average of 100wpm and I was able to comfortably achieve that on this keyboard. The amount of travel of the individual keys are just right. I also like that it has a numeric keypad, yet it still manages to be a full-sized keyboard in a compact form that minimizes clutter on my desk.
The mouse is also a winner. It is ergonomically designed to perfectly fit one’s hand, with a nice slightly rubbery feel where one’s thumb and pinky naturally rests upon it, to give it a light grippy texture. The height is just right, not too high and not too low, so that my hand stays comfortable and doesn't cramp up even during long work sessions.
Both quickly connected with minimal effort to my Dell desktop, as well as to our two Dell laptops at the same time (I wanted to try out that feature, to see how well they would switch between the three systems--for those who need that, it works pretty effortlessly). But I use it primarily with my Dell desktop, and it has worked really well. Definitely recommended.
Dec 28, 2020 18:49Compact & very smooth operation - all works beautifully & really enjoy using it - on keypad all day long & have to type quickly so is best keyboard to date for after many years of using keyboard. Needs very light touch & very ergonomic.
Nov 05, 2021 15:36Easily navigate Web pages and documents with this Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 D5D-00001, which features BlueTrack and optical technologies for accurate tracking and a tilting wheel that enables 4-way scrolling.
I love this mouse....I had one of these years ago.... it just wore out... i could not find it .. so i was forced to get a different one... I was wasting time at Best Buy.. and i happened a cross it... i could not believe it ... so excited.. However.. works on all surfaces.. even reclined chair arm, roller is smooth, fit your hand perfect, back page button is the best, battery life is awesome long.. battery end of life indicator is a excellent feature.. and a great bang for your buck..
Jan 19, 2019 07:42This device works well, I have bought this device in the past say about 3 years ago or more and it still works great on new new levonos Y700 notebook. I recently bought another one for my wife's computer because her computer touch pad has been reacting kind of strange lately and for that reason I bought her this devics, she loves it since she can now scroll and click back on the mouse and can go to the previous screen. The wireless mouse is small, but great how it handles in your hands, I love the device.
Nov 25, 2016 19:10I used to buy Logitech mouses all the time. I thought I would try a different mouse and tried this one. Compare to Logitech, this is better because it's cheaper. I also love the back button on the side of it. It's very handy.
Dec 05, 2020 17:08Previous mouse lasted 7 years. Got another one. A+
Jan 16, 2017 21:55I wanted to try Microsoft 4000. Its really good. The mouse is very light when compared with L 350. The feel is also good. It does not give a click sound when I press the buttons and I love this.
Feb 11, 2015 15:02Clearly Best Buy didnt do quality check of this device. All of its crevices are packed full of dust (see photo). Doesnt work either! Now I've gotta go out of my way and return it physically or having return postage deducted. Not my fault they got ripped off by the original person who returned it. Very disappointed.
Dec 19, 2019 18:32I've always had Logitech mouses, i went to buy another Logitech when my girlfriend saw this Microsoft Mouse with cool design and same price, so i decided to give it a try....what could go wrong with that it's just a mouse, right???? It's just a mouse but........this is my sincerely review.
This mouse is really cool, the design, size, the way it scroll up and down on the internet or any folder but............you know when you are looking to your pictures and you want to give a little zoom or just zoom on it??? FORGET IT you have to scroll up and down very very fast and still wont go the way you want and you must be an Ogre to use the zoom. I bought one and my girlfriend bought another one, when we get home, i thought mine came with problem and i started use hers and i realized it's the mouse.
DON'T BUY THIS MOUSE, look for another one or go for logitech they work much better.
READ THE REVIEWS FROM OTHER USERS ON DIFFERENT COLOURS...THEY ALL SAY THIS MOUSE DIES AFTER 2 WEEKS OR 2 MONTHS, SHAME ON MICROSOFT.
Oct 03, 2010 17:55Great mouse for the money. Very comfortable
and has worked perfectly. Connected with pc without issue. Very happy with purchase and the price makes it a great deal.
Apr 21, 2021 15:42The built-in mini USB transceiver storage on this Microsoft 1850 U7Z-00041 mouse ensures easy portability. Plug-and-play operation enables simple use on Mac, PC and Android systems for versatility.
I bought this mouse for my wife because she is not a fan of her Chromebook’s trackpad. Not only did she love the purple color, but it’s size and functionality is perfect for her. I’m very satisfied with this purchase.
Jul 09, 2021 06:27Worst mouse I have ever bought. I bought it to match the color of my microsoft laptop but the lag is so awful that I cannot work. This mousr is useless and I will be purchasing a logitech mouse instead.
Dec 09, 2021 10:02I loved it a lot.easy to access.it is very handy.fits to my hand
Dec 14, 2016 16:31This is the one of the best item I have ever bought.
Mar 22, 2017 13:39This is the one of the best item I have ever bought.
Mar 22, 2017 13:38It is a wireless easy to use compact mouse. I like that it doesn't take much space.
Mar 26, 2017 08:43Easy to use. I can take it anywhere. I use it for work and personal use.
Apr 09, 2016 09:38I have used this mouse for about 6 months and overall it functions great. It is a rather small mouse but does fit the hand perfect. I use this for traveling and it fits no problem in my small laptop bag. If I had to find a con about this mouse it would be that you have to remember to turn it off after use (takes 1 AA battery) and the clicking is kind of loud. I'd recommend it and will continue to use it!
Mar 27, 2017 14:56Meet your new go-to mouse for precise scrolling and navigation, in a choice of special edition camo designs¹. Also includes exclusive theme pack to bring your Windows desktop to life².
I recently received a new Microsoft Surface 4 laptop. This is a wonderful laptop but it has only one USB-A port. I prefer a mouse whenever I use any computer, even those with touchscreens and trackpads (which the Surface 4 laptop have.)
It just makes control easier and more precise to use a mouse, particularly when dragging and dropping.
If you use a wired mouse you use up the only USB port available.
This means the USB port is unavailable for flash drives, external hard drives, DVD drives, etc.
A wired mouse also means that you have cord flopping around on your work surface.
Most wireless mice and wireless keyboards have a small transmitter that you plug into a USB port to connect to the mouse or keyboard. Obviously, this also ties up the USB port.
Fortunately Microsoft offers this wonderful Bluetooth mouse and Best Buy has it priced very attractively. I bought it and found that it connected to my new laptop with ease. Connection was very stable.
It has a AA battery that will last about one year and you can extend that life by switching off the mouse with the handy on/off button on the bottom of the mouse.
Tracking is very accurate and the scrolling wheel works perfectly.
This mouse is also very compact and lightweight, making it ideal for travel or those work trips with your laptop to the local coffee shop.
This is a great accessory for any laptop user!
May 28, 2021 17:56Awesome lol mouse that connects easy to my MacBook Air. I use it to play GeForce now games. It’s very compact and light to throw in my bag and keep it moving
Oct 30, 2021 13:21Love this mouse. Works with such ease. It even turns itself off when you stop using it, so no wasted battery power. I highly recommend this.
Apr 09, 2021 16:48So i was pretty scared at purchasing this because I figured it wouldn’t work for my iPad Pro with IOS 13. But it works and works awesome i love apple but the cost of the mouse is pretty pricey these days so hope this helps someone on the fence
Oct 15, 2019 20:57Works flawlessly just what the wife wanted very responsive
Jul 03, 2021 17:23It took a little while to start working and three days later it just stop, so I then replaced the battery and still nothing, so I put back my old one that only cost me 9.99 dollars.
Nov 23, 2021 07:31Good is compact and works good, and match the color of my laptop.
Feb 22, 2021 13:38this mouse has been good thus far. the only problem i have with my mouse is that it loses connection with the computer sometimes so i have to turn it off then on. other than that its a great mouse to definitely start with. It connected with my PC really fast so it pretty good in that aspect.
May 22, 2020 20:32For a full keyboard and comfortable typing experience anywhere, pair this Surface Pro X keyboard with Surface Pro X.* Sleek, compact and adjustable, it includes a complete mechanical keyset and a large trackpad for precise navigation and control.
It's perfect for when you just want to use the Surface Pro like a laptop. Whenever I don't feel like using the key board then I just snap it off. The strong magnets that hook it to the tablet PC make it easy to connect that you could even hook it up in the dark without having to see, it just knows where to go.
Jun 18, 2021 16:39it's a keyboard. works well and feels good to type with. I'm surprised they managed to get any backlighting under the keys with how slim it is and make it actually bright enough to be useful
Oct 30, 2021 18:45I had to return it because it was not compatible with the Surface 7 tablet. Make sure you check the box for the fine print compatible devices, it was not not evident on a quick glance that it was not compatible.
Nov 19, 2021 22:07Nice feeling & looking keyboard. Very quiet with responsive keys. They don't click very much but you can definitely feel the response when typing. I enjoy this keyboard.
Oct 21, 2021 09:57Have reused the same keyboard across a few replacement tablets, and never had an issue! Works great, nice backlight feature, magnet on feature is super handy!
Oct 24, 2021 19:51This key board had a strong magnet and feels great to type on. Connection is great and double as a screen cover
Oct 19, 2021 23:18Works amazing with the Surface! Feels great on the hands and isn’t too loud when you type. It provides a great tool to utilize when typing lecture notes in class!
Nov 05, 2021 16:41Works great. Does anyone ever read these? Too bad they don't come with the tablet
Nov 01, 2021 08:40Increase productivity while embracing minimalism with this Logitech Slim wireless keyboard-and-mouse combo. The low-profile scissor keys and Windows-optimized design boost comfort, while the ambidextrous three-button mouse supports versatile configurations. This Logitech Slim wireless keyboard-and-mouse combo includes a plug-and-play USB nano receiver for added mobility, and the auto-sleep function ensures up to 18 months of battery life*.
So you're looking for replacement keyboard and mouse? I can say, you have to look no further. you've found your set in the Logitech - MK470 Slim Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Combo. Out of the box there's not much you're going to receive, just Keyboard, Mouse, unifying receiver and batteries.
The keyboard feels great, if you're use to the other logitech slimline keyboards, this will be exactly the same and if you're an apple user this will feel like the Mac-book pro and air keyboards. If you're looking for a modern style keyboard this is definitely it. The only issue is the muscle memory of typing on a fullsize keyboard. This is slim and compact design so you'll try to use a special key or the arrow keys and you'll then realize it's not your old keyboard but once you get use to it, no issues.
Now on to aesthetics, the keyboard and mouse combo looks good really modern look but also a little plastic...y. Not in a bad way, right were the compartment for the batteries and receiver are stored , looks a little flimsy. The battery compartment is at the top so you don't have to flip over the keyboard to put in new batteries. If you need a little shortage area for your pens or pencils you have space there too.
Leading up to switching to this keyboard I had two brand gaming keyboards and a slim keyboard. I"m also not a Logitech fanboy by any means but I can say I really like this simple yet functional keyboard and mouse set. All the important functions like calculator, volume and music control shortcuts are on the keyboard. I would highly recommend checking out this keyboard.
Oct 21, 2019 19:18Love this keyboard!!!! So smooth and quiet . Very slim. Exactly what I needed
Nov 05, 2021 16:01If you are like most people, you own or use multiple Logitech items. As for mouse/keyboard units, Logitech is probably the most common brand I see in my travels working on computers.
This set is a big distinct from their others, in that the design is less typical and more slimline in design. It is like a MAC computer keyboard, but without the big price tag. And it has many rubber feet to prevent the keyboard from moving around, a huge improvement over many keyboards out there. But it is a slim and attractive design, with a decent feel. The keyboard includes a number keypad too, something I use a lot when crunching numbers on countless spreadsheets.
The mouse is a different design, slim and low to the ground. It is unlike others in that your hand can relax and not be pushed up like an arch in your shoe. It takes a couple of hours to get used to, but feels much more comfortable than having one that pushes that "arch" in your hand up - I can appreciate this as my hand will hurt from too much computer work.
Both the keyboard and mouse are quieter than others, which is also appreciated as cubicle sizes continue to get reduced and annoying noises like the heavy finger keyboarder or the endless mouse clicker invades your sanity.
One thing I noticed with the keyboard, is that the keys were lower therefore requiring less hand movement to go up to hit the keys. Again, with hand pain from too much computer based work, this is greatly appreciated.
The battery is rated at 18 months for the keyboard and 36 months for the mouse, and while I cannot speak to that in just a few days, I can tell you they do not over state their battery life on other Logitech wireless devices.
You'll find a unifying USB dongle in the box, that allows both units to connect via a single USB double vs. having to use two separate ones for mouse and keyboard.
A nice addition to the portfolio of Logitech keyboard and mouse combo units. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll enjoy it and if you like Mac computer keyboards you'll feel right at home with this.
Oct 11, 2019 22:16The mouse is much more flat which helps with trigger finger and keyboard very comfortable.
Jun 04, 2021 15:58Very nice, comfortable.
Wireless keyboard and mouse are lightweight.
Mar 24, 2021 10:54Bought it for my wife while she works from home during Covid-19. She’s going to bring it to work when she goes back. Great product!
Apr 10, 2020 15:41The Logitech MK470 slim wireless mouse and keyboard combo comes in handy if you are on the go and don’t have a lot of extra space in your backpack or travel bag. There is one small unifying receiver that you need to plug into a USB type A slot and all my computers and chrome books recognized both devices right after I plugged in the receiver. Typing on the keyboard takes a little getting used to when you are coming from a windows-based keyboard. They travel on the keys is very minimal and is very quiet to type on as well. Actually, the mouse has very quiet clicks as well and this is one of the advertised features of it, Logitech calls it “whisper-quiet” and they are telling the truth here. The travel on the mouse buttons is small as well and it also takes some getting used to. Overall the mouse is not tall enough to fit comfortably in my hands and I find that after a few minutes of constant use, I find myself having to stretch out my hand a bit from how uncomfortable the mouse is. I wish it was slightly taller and more ergonomic verses being an ambidextrous design. I was planning on using this combo to replace my awful dell set up at work, but the mouse prevents me from this. I will be using the keyboard and I do find that to be pleasing to use. Logitech advertises that the battery life is 36 months on the keyboard and 18 months for the mouse and they have a sleep feature to help reach those longevity goals. In my opinion and experience with Logitech products, they do last at least as long as advertised. The keyboard does not have any lights on it and its difficult to tell if you have CAPS lock on or Num lock on. I do enjoy the 10-key addition on the keyboard and still keep the design small for the limited amount of space that I have on my desk. For the price, you cannot go wrong with this keyboard/mouse combo and it does exactly what you need it to do.
Pros:
Compact design
Quiet keystrokes and mouse clicks
Well-built and sleek design
Long battery life
FN + F keys work well natively
One nano receiver for both devices
Price
Cons:
Mouse is not very comfortable to use
No lights on keyboard for Num lock/Caps Lock, etc.
Oct 11, 2019 21:03Love the keyboard. Quite and perfect for my office.
Sep 11, 2020 19:45The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus lets you experience PC-to-TV entertainment the way you Watch video, browse the web, chat with friends and much more. The all-in-one keyboard with touchpad ends the hassle—and clutter—of multiple devices. And a 32.8-foot wireless range ensures your fun won’t be interrupted. Comfortable, quiet keys and a large (3.5-inch) touchpad make navigating entertainment effortless. Even setup is a snap thanks to the tiny, plug-and-play Unifying receiver.
I have had the non-plus version for years. It was time to replace the old one as it was starting to stutter(not sure if it's just worn out, or the transmitter was dieing. Well the new one is here and the connection is strong and accurate. And all is well again. I did deduct a star for this keyboard using smaller arrows for up and down. Guess people no longer use these keys and thus, Logitech mini sized them for those who voted for bigger something else. Guess I'll adapt.
Pic info: old keyboard in top. The new PLUS keyboard on bottom
Dec 20, 2019 17:20Yeah it’s great, but you can’t tap on the track pad to click which is a deal breaker, I kept it but if I knew befor hand would have looked for one where you could click on track pad
Feb 13, 2021 12:19This is a great, compact keyboard for anyone who wants to hook up their computer to their main entertainment display.
The left click button on the upper left hand side of the keyboard allows you to hold the keyboard kind of like a controller. This was really smart design, especially for web browsing and navigation.
Typing with this on your lap is a bit of a challenge, but I went in knowing that navigating my desktop from the couch was going to have a few drawbacks and wasn’t disappointed with the compact size.
Mar 22, 2019 15:59Keyboard works like a charm and waiting a while and I picked up the last one in stock!!!
Sep 24, 2021 16:07I love the fact that it is a small keyboard and fits in my backpack. It works great and the keys have a great smooth feel when typing.
Nov 08, 2019 20:11I love this keyboard....when my wireless mouse goes off, I don’t struggle but can continue using the mouse pad on the keyboard
Feb 13, 2021 00:53I use this for my home arcade, it’s small and works great.
Feb 19, 2021 21:25I read the reviews on the Logitech - K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard and determined it was what I needed. Compact and immediately Compatible.
Mar 19, 2017 21:49Upgrade your computer capability when you install this Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. The full keyboard includes 12 programmable function keys and six hot keys for faster access to the Internet and other features. This Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo adds sophistication to your system while providing a compact design to save space.
Ok keyboard and mouse combo with ONE EXECPTION! it is NOT UNIFYING (no Unifiying USB transceiver and even if yo uhave one the mouse and keyboard will NOT pair with it. The reason I purchased three of them was because of that and in reading the product details/description it...in MULTIPLE locaitons but apparently this is NOT correct.
I would have taken them back but had to ship all three out to employee's and as such, this would cost more to have them ship them back than the purchase price....but BUYER BEWARE....they ARE NOT UNIFYING despite what the description says.
Apr 26, 2021 14:56Best Buy shows this product comes with the Logitech Unifying receiver, but it is not when I opened the box.
Please correct the information to prevent misleading.
Dec 06, 2018 11:58Large spaced out keys with full number-pad. I bought for long lasting battery and so far it's held out good.
Jun 05, 2021 15:03I love this keyboard & companion mouse. I have 3 computers on a long 90° desk. This
combo. works flawlessly with all three. No hastle moving it around to clear desk space, batteries last incredibly long and they are egernomically very comfortable. The perfect combo for my setup.
Apr 23, 2021 15:44I purchased this keyboard/mouse combo to make my laptop more like a desktop PC. The keyboard has great action, a number pad along the side (a real bonus in my mind) and a comfortable mouse. This keyboard/mouse combo is nicer than many others that are more expensive.
Dec 04, 2021 08:42Logitech MK360- this is a good, smaller footprint keyboard that has all necessary buttons. And also has CAPS Lock Light, which really is a must. The only negative is the play/pause button requires you to also hit the "function" key, so it takes both hands to pause music- a little annoying when you receive a phone call & only have 1 hand free. but the volume buttons are single press.
Oct 17, 2021 09:19Purchased this as a back up to my current keyboard/mouse setup. Would have been nice if they were rechargeable like most current technology but they are dependent on replaceable batteries.
Dec 17, 2021 16:43Works great with a Mac I had a 10 year old Mac sitting in the closet couldn’t find the keyboard so I bought this one and it’s being used as a word processor and for the Internet
Dec 17, 2021 19:34Work or play easily with this Verbatim wireless optical mouse. The mini mouse has 2.4GHz reliability, so you don't have to worry about the cursor skipping around. A small receiver does away with the need for cords, so you can take this Verbatim wireless optical mouse with you anywhere you plan to use your computer.
Versatile in use and very portable. Purchased two and have no regrets.
Apr 23, 2021 16:21This is an affordable mouse that definitely is on the smaller side. It seems like it's decent in terms of quality.
(I have not been able to use it since I accidentally threw out the usb.)
Jul 21, 2020 12:32I bought this for my son for virtual learning. He is able to use it a lot better than the normal size one. I don't need to help him as much anymore.
Sep 29, 2020 14:22Super good its perfect for on the road working and being very nice and the quality is good
Dec 17, 2020 12:27This little cordless mouse is so versatile. I can take it amywhere.
Jan 31, 2021 16:10It’s adorable, works great, and my son loves it!!!
Mar 05, 2021 16:07This mouse is great especially if you have small hands! Its glides really good even without a mouse pad. It is a great buy. I would definitely recommend!
Jun 12, 2020 16:25Works well and is a good value. Smaller mouse, my child loves it
Jan 01, 2021 16:09Logitech Mini Mouse M187. Take it wherever you take your laptop—thanks to its pocket-ready, extra-small design. Setup is simple. Just plug in the nano receiver and start using your mouse. Plus, the receiver is small enough to stay in your USB port—and stores inside the mouse if you do need to remove it—so there’s no need to worry about losing it. You’ll enjoy the freedom of wireless with more precision and control than your laptop’s touchpad. And you get the confidence that comes with owning a mouse from the global leader in connecting you to the digital experiences you care about.
It worked flawlessly since I plugged it in. It’s just so small, it can get lost in the palm of your hand.
May 01, 2020 15:47This is a nice small mouse for my 6-year old's hands.
Feb 05, 2021 16:22I was looking for a small wireless mouse to keep in my travel bag. This one looks good and works great. A bit small when compared to a standard-size mouse but I expected that.
Dec 18, 2021 10:48WOW! This is small and compact. It is okay for someone like me that has smalls hands. I don't anyone with a large hand would like it.
Dec 10, 2021 20:52Great, only didn't realise how small it was going to be for my large hands.
Dec 19, 2021 05:16Super light and responsive mouse. Makes using my Dell laptop so much easier than the built in trackpad.
Dec 04, 2021 06:46This is the perfect travel mouse, small profile doesn't take up space. Very functional. Wireless to boot.
Dec 11, 2021 11:20Just small enough to be very easy to toss in any bag but still just big enough to be functional
Dec 11, 2021 06:27Complete typing assignments on your 5th Gen iPad mini tablet with this space gray Brydge Bluetooth keyboard. The backlit keys have three levels of brightness for easy typing even in dimly lit environments, while the aluminum construction provides enduring durability. This Brydge Bluetooth keyboard has a hinge for easy mounting or removal, and the rechargeable battery offers up to a year of use on a single charge.
This keyboard works and pairs perfectly with the iPad Mini. Has a bit of weight to it but that just makes it feel sturdier.
Sep 05, 2020 08:53These are great keyboards. They almost feel like MacBook Pro keyboards. They attach easily do your iPad and have some nice features like backlit keys and special function keys like play, pause, and so on. We are a little heavy, but that is a feature because it gives your iPad a good solid base. I’ve tried other keyboards that are now gathering dust in my gadget box. You will not regret getting a Brydge keyboard.
Nov 08, 2021 10:33Not quite what I was looking for but it works. Instructions say to remove the bumpers for a better fit but my ipad slides out.
Aug 08, 2020 15:07Keyboard is okay. Functions almost as normally a regular keyboard. I would probably recommend it.
Aug 09, 2020 15:14This keyboard is just perfect it was easy to connect and I haven’t had any issues since I bought it.
Jun 12, 2020 17:38Works great I use it daily. The only thing I would change is you can’t adjust the position of the keyboard.
Dec 11, 2020 16:54This is the keyboard I love. The other keyboard was not from my mini pad it was for a different tablet. I had to return it and buy this one. Are you
Oct 16, 2020 18:41Sets up and works seamlessly. Light. Great for travel-whenever we travel again!

I paid all that money for Fast exporting time and that’s all. I bought this in hopes that my green screen layering wouldn’t lag so much, but it wasn’t much of an improvement from the $1299 model. Disappointing considering the vast difference in price, but I am keeping because the export time is much faster considering that I have to export my entire project just to review it for video editing. I had high hopes for the price tag, definitely not the power house I thought it would be.
Jan 03, 2021 15:04great expensive computer that apple decided to make obsolete a week after purchasing .
Apr 02, 2021 21:07Wanted to love it. Worked great but the display bezels and rear connections made me feel like I had a 2000 iMac
Mar 12, 2021 16:32I love it
The computer is very hight tech and I am still amazed with it
Oct 02, 2020 18:50Great Computer - Even Apple did not have it in stock but Best Buy did!!!
Excellent shipping by Best Buy.
Mar 19, 2021 15:55BeautifulI and powerful the color makes the difference this is my 2nd apple imac
Feb 14, 2021 16:40Easy ordering and delivered on time. Packed well. Easy process!
Oct 23, 2020 16:24Compact enough for any space, and versatile enough for all setups—this is the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed. Enjoy seamless gaming in a sleek package with a wireless 65% mechanical gaming keyboard that still retains arrow keys for the perfect balance of form and function.
The Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed Wireless 65% Gaming Mechanical Green Switch Keyboard is a perfect fit for a college student who occasionally games. The 65% layout makes the keyboard feel lightweight to move around when not in use and does not take up the whole desk. Wireless means no cables are visible and keeps my OCD in check. When gaming, the keyboard produces no delay when buttons are pushed. The battery is forever long lasting. The RGB lighting is bright, and when paired with other Razer peripherals completes the theme. The green clicky switches are still my favorite. I don’t see a need to switch to a quieter option. The only issue I can find, is the price. But hey, that’s Razer.
Jul 21, 2021 10:45Great keyboard! No issues. I would recommend this to anyone who would like a compact keyboard. The keys are responsive and I like that the caps lock key lights up when caps are being used. BTW, all of the keys light up which makes it easy to strike the right key.
Oct 01, 2021 17:48I needed an small keyboard that was bluetooth compatible and this keyboard is perfect. The price is pretty steep but I won't let the price take away from the rating. Basically if you're like me and need a 65% keyboard that will connect to bluetooth, then this is the best keyboard you can buy from BestBuy. .
Aug 27, 2021 17:46Probably the worst typing experience I've had on a mechanical keyboard. Something is definitely off with its key actuation and would register a key press twice. This seems to happen the most with the number row. Other than that, the keyboard is fine and Hyperspeed mostly works as intended.
Sep 26, 2021 16:38Build construction is great but the black metal shows oil residue and finger prints very easily. The inside shows that the switches are soldered to the board. The board also appears to be glued or compressing a piece of foam to dampen noise. Sound and feel are great but limited customization ability unless you put in work
Jul 22, 2021 23:59The lightweight CORSAIR KATAR PRO WIRELESS Gaming Mouse connects via hyper-fast SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS or low-latency Bluetooth®. Weighing in at just 96g, its compact symmetric shape is suitable for both claw and fingertip grip styles, while a 10,000 DPI optical sensor offers the precision you need in critical moments. Take control with CORSAIR iCUE software to program the KATAR PRO WIRELESS’ six buttons with button remaps or custom macros, adjust sensitivity, customize three DPI presets, and more. Play for up to 135 hours on a single AA battery, and bring your favorite lighting and macro profile with you anywhere with onboard storage. Take the KATAR PRO WIRELESS in hand for lightweight design and heavy-weight performance.
This mouse is a very intact one. It does not have any loose part, you can tell the quality is as good as the other product you can get for this price( $30 - $40).
However, there are several facts I would like to mention:
1. This mouse does not have a perfect pair with latest Mac system. Not to mention that the Receiver is Type A, after connected using the Bluetooth, I realized the side buttons where you could have been used to navigate the web actually does not work that way. It worked as a middle click.
2. I tried to download the software iCUE for Mac to customize the mouse, but after the installation and a mandate restart, it turned out this Katar Pro Wireless was actually not supported.
3. This mouse lost connection for 0.5 sec, once it sleeps. This happens when both using the Receiver on a PC and Bluetooth on a Mac. There is a GAME Mode you can switch to but I did not try that.
Overall I think this is OK for the product, but considering the usability and hassles I mentioned above, I would recommend you give it a test before the decision.
Jun 08, 2021 13:23I bought this mouse thinking it was not meant for gaming but it is actually is meant for more than gaming. I thought like some wireless mouses the connectivity would be bad but it is better than any wireless mouse I have had before.
Jun 18, 2021 20:29I love the mouse and it is very responsive. It has nice comfortable grip.
Mar 11, 2021 02:36I was kind of in a hurry and didn't review other options. I went for a wireless mouse and this was the first I saw, so I bought it. My hurry was due to an old mouse losing functionality and needing a replacement just to do my work.
The battery life indicated on this is 196 hours on a single AA battery. That could mean a replacement every couple of months. Other options are indicating battery life of 2-3 years.
As far as functionality, it seems fine, but I am not used to buttons on the side of my mouse and I don't care for them. I find myself accidentally pressing them on occasion(with negative effects), and I don't use them for anything. I do realize this is a gaming mouse and may have advanced functionality for gaming that I'm not using.
For my preferences, I'd give this only 1 or 2 stars, but I'm not grading it lower than 3 stars because I didn't actually look at other options and the mouse not meeting my needs is partially due to me not knowing what I wanted. I didn't read the battery life before purchasing. For what I was looking for, a lower cost standard model with 2-year battery life(or even with a USB cord) would have been preferred.
Dec 30, 2020 13:20Bought as a Christmas gift for my grandson. Had to get the whole set-up so they can play their games and he loves it
Jan 19, 2021 01:01One of the best mouses that i have used in years,very light weight and quick response.
Oct 27, 2021 16:29Picked this up on sale and I’m very happy with it. Got a budget mouse you really can’t ask for much more. Would buy again!
Jun 11, 2021 16:34Works great so far I have had this mouse for about a month.
I use it on my lap top computer it responds well no lag good mouse.
Jul 30, 2021 16:27Make the world your office with the Razer Pro Click Mini—your perfect go-to mouse for productivity on-the-go. With silent clicks and effortless navigation all packed into a compact design, this portable performer is the perfect fit for your workday no matter where you are.
I would say if you’re looking for an (almost) silent gaming/productivity mouse, this fits the bill. No frills though and geared to medium/smaller hands. Great if you live with a roommate in a dorm or same room with significant others. My only complaint is that the middle click and shoulder buttons are NOT silent. What’s the point of making only the left and right click silent but not the rest? Feels very half committal and begging for a v2 release. Also for 80 dollars you could get any other comparable alternatives for gaming or go full silent with the Logitech Pebble M305. How is the Orochi v2 cheaper than this thing MSRP?! One last interesting thing about this mouse is that you can use it with 1 battery to help with weight instead of 2. I use the AAA lithium battery mod and I don’t notice uneven weight distribution.
Dec 07, 2021 03:09Low profile, not super comfy to hold, does connect to 4 devices, unfortunately needs to be flipped over in order to change each time. But i like it better than the anywhere 3. Scroll wheel feels better and side buttons are more comfy. It disconnected a lot, but after trying logitechs mx3 and anywhere 3, i like the razer pro mini.
Dec 06, 2021 04:53Great mouse so far. Replaced another quiet mouse, Logitech M590, which broke after a year. The Razer is just as quiet, noticeably lighter and appreciate the small details, like textured rubber grips on siding.
Nov 18, 2021 15:47The K75504US Multi-Device Dual Wireless Compact Keyboard lets you connect and switch between up to three devices at a time (computer, tablet, or phone), using Bluetooth (3.0 or 5.0) or 2.4GHz wireless with 128-bit AES encryption. Smooth, responsive scissor keys include multimedia hot keys.
For the price,its a good keyboard for basic stuff.
Sep 04, 2021 13:33The supremely portable ProArt StudioBook Pro 15 is the most compact model in the range, but it still packs a big punch when it comes to performance. Its powerful NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max Q graphics make light work of graphics-intensive tasks, while its 15.6-inch PANTONE Validated 4K UHD panel ensures pixel-perfect imagery every time.
The system gets extremely hot to the point that I could not continue typing for one hour.
Also, the description of the item at BestBuy website is incorrect be aware...
it says that the laptop has two 2 TB SSD but in reality It has two 1 TB SSD.
it says it has a detachable screen but it doesn't detach. I think the person who did the description copy and past from other system.
I have only used it for one hour and decided to return it the next day after waiting few days for delivery.
May 23, 2020 04:45I purchased this computer for the speed and the fact that it has 2 hard drives. The hard drives are set to RAID 0, which is the dumbest thing done by ASUS. If you lose one drive, you lose all your data. I tried to call technical support to change it from RAID 0 to 2 separate drives, but they hung up on me after staying on hold for 2 hours. I tried again for another 2 hours, and they hung up on me again. Imagine if I had a real problem and needed technical support!!!! This computer is going back to best buy. I do not recommend ASUS at all. I think ASUS is too big to care for their customers as they used to in the past. I will switch to Framework laptops; they are good computers.
Oct 20, 2021 21:30Awesome laptop, runs all my programs editing and crafting software without any slow down!
Mar 14, 2021 21:52Combine modern functionality and classic style with this AZIO compact keyboard. Bluetooth connectivity offers convenient wireless operation, and the included USB cable lets you connect to most computers and recharge the built-in battery. This AZIO compact keyboard takes up little desk space and has a zinc-alloy frame that offers lasting durability.
These keyboards and mice simply don’t work. The keyboard has very bad Bluetooth connectivity that either drops out or registers key presses multiple times or both. The mouse laser doesn’t track well even on gaming mouse pads. And you won’t get support either from AZIO. When I tried to return both an RCM and RCK well within the return window, AZIO didn’t respond back with an RMA number and then tried to treat it as a warranty claim instead of a return! They purposefully dragged out their responses and gave incorrect responses to push it past the 30 day window and I even emailed them calling them out on it. When I sent it back, they gave me a partial refund telling me I missed the window. This is very shady. The company behaves like it’s going under soon and their products just don’t work. Avoid avoid avoid.

If you're simply looking for a nice desktop computer for your everyday needs, then this is going to do the job and then some. In terms of using it for work and play-related things, I think of it like driving a Cadillac over a Chevy. This machine will perform most any task with great speed and ease. It's an elegant piece of hardware as well, being entirely self-contained, and the keyboard and Magic Mouse both very comfy to use. The latter two stay charged for nearly a month at a time with daily use. Oh, and the 4K Retina© display is beautiful. I honestly can't imagine the new 5K being any sharper.
I bought this computer brand new in the box one year ago. It's the first Apple product I've ever owned, and I'm impressed. I purchased it with the sole intent of using it for music production. With it, I can run Ableton Live 11 (my DAW of choice) with at least eight tracks of plug-ins and automations, as well as hardware—two MIDI keyboards and a USB interface—before it really starts to use up a lot of the CPU. I can even check out a website or watch a YouTube tutorial while I've got Ableton running, and it still doesn't lock up on me. It's impressive!
While this certainly isn't an optimal computer for music production, housing its modest i5 3.0GHz processor, it's still no slouch! If you're a hobbyist musician like myself, it's just fine. With that said, I'm sure someday—perhaps several years from now—I'll upgrade to a more powerful model, but for now, it's really just fine for my purposes.
As for being a used PC/laptop type of guy coming into the world of Apple, I have to say that the quality of this machine is really nice. Of course, it's also the most expensive computer I've ever bought, but hey, you get what you pay for!
Jul 08, 2021 06:11I love my Apple - 21.5" iMac. I got this one as an upgrade to one that was the same size, just a smaller processor. I have slowly changed everything over from Android, Google, and other companies to where all things in my home are now Apple. This iMac has an impressive display at 4k, the Intel Core i5 (3.0GHz) is super fast, I love the fact that I have 1TB of Fusion Drive. I take a lot of pics, and I will never get this drive filled up, a least for a very long time. Maybe a little more on the pricy side but is definitely worth the extra.
Apr 17, 2020 22:19I went in looking for an iMac originally wanted the big one but then realized I would just go with the 21” model..Have to say the Best Buy employee was so helpful and helped me on every question..Came home conectes everything and IM IN LOVE...The plus is the keyboard and mouse it comes with!!
Aug 07, 2020 16:25Very good desktop for your business, organizing all your invoice, new projects, etc
I have a small painting business very useful
Jan 24, 2020 21:21I bought this iMac for the intentions of video editing and it work’s beautifully, I highly recommended this to anyone who is switching to Mac and who is looking into video editing.
Jan 27, 2020 00:39It’s a great way to test out music projects for amateurs.
May 08, 2020 16:52A great desktop! It does what it says it would!! Great picture quality. A good size for a desk. Not too small. Not too big.

Jan 02, 2020 20:16I have been wanting to buy a desktop computer for the longest time. When it came to the type of computer I wanted, I knew that I wanted an all-in-one computer so that I could minmize the overall footprint and the number of cords used. Since I already own an iPad and a MacBook Air, getting an iMac made the most sense. I chose this model and specifications because I knew I wasn't gong to be doing any heavy photo or video editing, nor was I going to be using it for heavy gaming purposes. I needed a basic configuration that would allow me do to everyday tasks. Purchasing this iMac has allowed me to do this. I enjoy how it easily communicates with my other Apple products and allows me to the daily tasks such as emails and presentations that I need. My only complaint is that it did not come with a full keyboard. However, at this point I have more or less adjusted to the smaller styler keyboard.
May 01, 2020 10:33Been wanting an iMac for a while. Finally got one and have been using it more than my laptop. I got the icore 3 version. Pretty smooth and fast went for the bit of the cheaper option, but the 4K retina display is a nice touch no complaints so far.
Feb 20, 2020 10:34Yes the screen is sharp and Retina display is amazing but my iPhone 11 runs faster. This al in one is slow as slow can be. I don’t play games I just have an online business to run and I can’t have all my programs running at once without staring at the spinning beach ball. Also the screen has a terrible looking thick black border that takes your eyes away from the stunning display. The fusion drive is slow I will return this and probably get a laptop. Also the magic keyboard is tiny and mouse is uncomfortable. Sound is decent but overall not impressed. Been waiting for an hour to finish installing Microsoft office.
Jun 15, 2020 15:31I was looking for a home computer but didn’t really want a bulky tower under my desk. This computer doesn’t have a tower, it’s built into the monitor. Works great for all my home needs, and my child’s schoolwork!!!
Nov 09, 2019 09:09I love Mac and this is an amazing machine. I don’t do much on it except school work. But it has been working great so far. My mid 2009 MacBook Pro worked till 2019. So hopefully I get the same performance.
Mar 29, 2021 18:42I have owned a iMAC for about 12 years and just recently upgraded to a newer model.
Mar 01, 2020 17:15Love the all in one. Apple did it again with minimal design and amazing graphics. Not a fan of the Magic Mouse. It’s not ergonomic and hard to maneuver. Would have preferred the larger full keyboard but got used to it. Overall great deal. Love it!
Jan 01, 2021 20:13
