2-in-1: TOP-5 sets of wireless keyboards with mouse

The FG1010 kit from A4 Tech is one of the most interesting wireless kits in terms of price, quality and functionality. It is part of the new line of fun office equipment FStyler. The uniqueness is manifested in the cute multi-colored decorative inserts along the keyboard and mouse body.

All this stuff is connected to the computer using a common USB radio transmitter (radius 15 meters, powered by two batteries) and costs just under $20.

Despite the full-size format, the keyboard is very compact. On the one hand, this is good, on the other, not so good, since the distance between the keys could have been a little larger. Typing blindly at first is unusual, you hit adjacent keys. Membrane switches operate with relatively little force and return quickly to their place (key travel is low). When printing, the buttons make virtually no noise. In general, it is convenient to work. Among the useful bonuses, we note laser engraving of symbols.

The FG1010 mouse turned out to be universal and quite comfortable. It is symmetrical, so it will serve both left-handers and right-handers with equal success. A colored insert made of textured plastic runs along the body, and the body is covered with some kind of soft-touch plastic, which fits nicely in the hand and prevents the mouse from slipping. In addition to two buttons and a wheel, there is a separate button for switching sensor sensitivity (1000, 1600 and 2000 DPI). Overall, the mouse turned out to be really comfortable, it glides perfectly and we don’t even know what flaws we can spot in it.

Despite its status as a major star in the world of peripherals and its own research institute, many buyers associate the Swiss company Logitech with simple and inexpensive office peripherals. The Wireless Combo MK220 kit, consisting of a wireless keyboard and mouse, is just from this story. This is the most simple, but at the same time reliable technique that will not fail at the right time. It’s not for nothing that it hasn’t fallen out of the top sales for almost 10 years.

In terms of form factor, the Logitech MK220 is a simple working membrane-type keyboard with low key travel. However, it is difficult at first to shake the feeling that something is wrong. Then you realize that it has no bottom edge at all, and Alt, Space and other keys from the bottom row actually hang over the table. The keyboard body is made of durable matte plastic and overall leaves the feeling of a reliable, tightly assembled thing. The matte keys rise slightly above the body and have a soft, quiet stroke.

In turn, the mouse is absolutely simple, comfortable and unpretentious: a regular curved body that fits both left and right hands, two main buttons and a scroll wheel. The optical sensor is quite primitive, so you shouldn't expect good sensitivity on all materials. Despite its simplicity and lack of DPI switches, the mouse performs well both in everyday work and in dynamic shooting games. Power requires 2 AAA batteries. Depending on the batteries, the kit lasts for 4 – 6 months of daily use.

The products of the Chinese brand Rapoo attract users with special features. In the case of the 8210M keyboard and mouse set, this is the ability to simultaneously connect to several Multi-Device devices.

Overnight, the kit's keyboard and mouse can communicate with multiple gadgets, quickly switching between them. This functionality is provided by the support of two wireless connection methods: via radio channel and Bluetooth network. The manipulators can be easily switched between a computer and a TV, a laptop and a smartphone.

The full-size keyboard from the Rapoo 8210M stands out from its classmates with its waterproof design and the presence of a number of additional multimedia keys. The buttons at the top of the keyboard are used to control the media player, adjust the volume, return to the home page in the browser, etc. The switches here are membrane-type, with low-travel island-type keys. They make virtually no noise when typing, but the left side of the spacebar has low sensitivity, which is why this button does not always respond to pressing on the left edge.

The included mouse is equally suitable for both right-handers and left-handers (due to its symmetrical design). It is low-noise and is additionally equipped with a sensor sensitivity switch, which allows you to adjust the DPI to your own needs (600/1000/1300/1600). Overall, the Rapoo 8210M kit can be assessed quite well - it provides flexibility in terms of connections and ease of use. Moreover, the set has a reasonable price.

The Dell KM3322W keyboard and mouse set is one of the longest-lasting wireless pointing devices on the market. It’s no joke, the kit’s keyboard can operate autonomously for up to 36 months, and the mouse for up to 18 months in a row.

The keyboard here is full-size with an additional block of Num keys and multimedia quick access buttons (in particular, for volume control). It itself is a membrane type with a low, soft and quiet key stroke. Moreover, the keyboard is waterproof, and its buttons are covered with anti-fading caps. To adjust the position of the keyboard, inclined legs are provided.

The second component of the set is an optical mouse in a symmetrical design with a sensor resolution of 1000 DPI. The mouse fits comfortably in both right and left hands. Structurally, it has two buttons and a scroll wheel with a click function. The mouse is powered by one AA battery, while the keyboard uses two AAA batteries to supply autonomous power.

The kit performs well in work and study, when consuming multimedia content, and even in some computer games. Plus, the keyboard's 128-bit advanced encryption provides a secure connection and helps protect data transmission. Dell Wireless Keyboard and Mouse KM3322W is a universal set for comfortably solving problems of a wide variety of nature.

Logitech MK470 is a mid-level work kit consisting of a super-compact keyboard and mouse, which can equally well play the role of an office peripheral or an assistant for a smart TV remote control. In addition to its compactness, its feature is an automatic sleep mode, which greatly extends the life of the batteries.

The included keyboard turned out to be very comfortable; the buttons are pressed moderately easily and silently. Considering that it uses island keys with low travel, people who are accustomed to similar laptop keyboards will get the most pleasure from their work. Thanks to its thin body and small side edges, it looks neat and attractive, the kind of visual impressions Apple equipment usually leaves behind. It's a pity that the top panel is not used in any way, it's just a large decorative insert with the Logitech logo. Or if they could add multimedia keys, the design would hardly deteriorate, and there would be much more benefits. On the back of the case there is a plastic roller that acts as a stand instead of traditional legs.

But with the mouse everything is not so simple. On paper, stories about unique ergonomic design look tempting, but in reality things are different. The fact is that the mouse is very low and almost flat, so hands accustomed to classic manipulators feel out of place. Again, an analogy arises with Apple and its Magic Mouse, which is either loved with all our hearts, or hated just as much. But there the flattened shape was justified by the touch panel. But the optical sensor is cool and responsive, and the switches are almost silent. Well, the top cover with magnetic latches is quite convenient. The batteries can be changed in a couple of seconds, and you can hide a radio inside.
