The best part about a keyboard and a mouse combo is that both operate over a single dongle. That ensures that the USB port on your laptop/desktop remains free. In this post, we have lined up some of the best wireless keyboard and mouse combos that you can buy this year. Most of these peripherals are affordable and don’t cost much. However, before that,
Looking for a wireless mouse? Here are the best mice with programmable buttons.Laggy Bluetooth? Fix it at one go with these Bluetooth adapters.
1. Logitech MX900 Performance Combo
The MX Master is one of the most ergonomic mice out there. It has several buttons, and the thumb pad and the buttons on the side are a boon for multi-taskers. Plus, you can customize the programmable buttons further. It is powered by the Darkfield Laser sensor, which can track up to 2000 dots per inch (dpi). However, if you are looking for more accurate tracking and customization, you should check out the third-generation MX Master 3. This neat mouse is also designed for office work and can track up to 4,000 dots per inch, thus making it highly versatile. However, you may have to invest in a separate keyboard should you decide to buy the MX Master 3. Buy MX Master 3
2. Corsair Gaming K55 + HARPOON RGB
Being a gaming keyboard, the K55 packs a few additional functions. You will find dedicated multimedia controls at the top, followed by a bunch of macro keys that can be programmed via the iCue software. And if that was not enough, you can cycle through three lighting settings. More importantly, it’s inclined a little towards the top and together with the palm rest at the bottom, it gives you a comfortable experience. When it comes to the mouse, it has a DPI of 6,000, which can be considered decent for an entry-level gaming mouse. The best part of the mouse is that all 6 buttons can be programmed as per your preference.
3. Logitech MK850 Performance
The MK850 keyboard is again a membrane keyboard and renders soft and quiet keystrokes. Yep, no loud noise that is generally associated with mechanical keyboards, particularly the one with Cherry MX Blue switches. Simultaneously, the concave-shaped keys have the right amount of plunge needed for touch typing, a feature it shares with the Logitech MX900 keyboard. Apart from that, this combo is lightweight and easily portable. Pack the three things, put it in a bag, and get going. More importantly, it is an ergonomically designed keyboard. You will find a textured palm rest at the base, and the keyboard can be inclined via the two small feet at the top. Same is the case with the mouse. Though it has been designed well, it’s still a right-handed mouse and not ambidextrous. On the upside, the mouse buttons can be customized to an extent as per your preference.
4. Microsoft Wireless Desktop 900
However, the mouse is rather simple and doesn’t have anything other than a scroll button and two left/right keys. On the upside, it is accurate and gets your work done. The Wireless 900 is relatively quiet, and you can’t do most of your work down without major distractions. And hey, did we tell you that there’s a dedicated key to launch the Calculator app? Cool, right? Besides the above, you can use the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center software to create your own set of keyboard shortcutss.
5. Dell KM636 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo
In addition to the standard buttons, the mouse packs a duo of thumb switches on the sides. While these can’t be programmed, you can use them as the forward and backward button when you are scrolling on your browser. Both the keyboard and the mouse use the same 2.4 GHz receiver. Make sure you connect the dongle to a high-speed port and keep it in line.
6. Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop
On the other hand, the Sculpt Ergonomic mouse packs a unique look and shape. Apart from the usual buttons, it also packs two additional buttons. Unlike most mice, only one of the buttons acts as the Back button. The other is a trigger for the Windows Start Menu. If you search for a lot of tools and apps on your system, this might be the mouse you are looking for. If we talk numbers, it has a DPI of 10,000 and is pretty accurate. When it comes to the keyboards, it’s not a mechanical keyboard. Rather, it’s a membrane keyboard with low-profile keys that makes typing a comfortable affair. However, do note that the position of the main keyboard can’t be customized. Like the Wireless 900 keyboard above, this one also encrypts your keystrokes.
Type. Scroll. Type.
While the above are some of the best keyboard and mouse combos out there, you can check out keyboards with integrated touchpads such as the Logitech K600 TV and the Microsoft Wireless All-In-One Media Keyboard. These prove to be super handy when you do not use the mouse much in your work. At the same time, these devices prove to be super useful when you have to enter your login credentials into apps and games on your smart TV or FireTV Stick. The easy connectivity means you have to hook the Bluetooth dongle to the USB port of the TV and make the connection. The above article may contain affiliate links which help support Guiding Tech.
