Great video, but I have a suggestion. The background music overwhelms your voice, it is hard to hear what you are saying at times.

Nice honest review Ken. I'm still thinking to get this keyboard for my workstation since I'm still partially working from home. Switching between my working laptop to my personal PC by using the same keyboard and mouse will definitely boost my productivity. I have subscribed so keep creating awesome content as always :)

Hi Ken, Great Video 😀 Thanks a lot. I have a question please. Can i connect them with Bluetooth only without using the usb? I would like to use with mu surface pro5 that have only 1 usb hub and maybe connect with my phone. Would it be ok without any needing of usb at all? And how well of the response as is it very compatible when we linked btw notebook and the keyboard and mouse?

[@kendidshoots]

Hey there! Yes you can use them using Bluetooth only. Both the keyboard and mouse are bluetooth devices. The USB is defaulted as Device 1 for both. And for the response part, it depends on the Bluetooth connection (usb directly works better for connectivity for sure) so far it’s pretty ok with Bluetooth for me !

[@phuonganhtran8752]

Hey, great informative video, thank you! Can you tell me, if it‘s possible to scroll horizontal with the mouse? I want to buy this combo to use it with my MacBook and iPad and the horizontal scroll is quite important to switch between screens and applications. Would be great, if you can help me out :-)

[@kendidshoots]

Hey Phuong, glad you found this useful, the horizontal scroll wheel is by no means a replacement for hand gestures, I believe switching app (trackpad style) utilities two finger gesture right? Only the Magic Trackpad can achieve this function. On the keyboard you can still (CMD + TAB) to switch apps with ease The horizontal scroll only works with like excel sheets, premiere pro timeline, and some scroll function replacement~

Hey Ronald, the G613 simply being a gaming mechanical keyboard have totally different features compared to the MK850 ! Lower response time, hotkeys on the left and mechanical switches... if you are really into gaming, the G613 at least is way way better than the MK850..

[@jeremylamb12]

Question: If I am not too interested in the Device Switching ability, can I re-bind that Mouse button to do something other than switching between devices?

[@kendidshoots]

Hey Jeremy, short answer no. But there are other buttons that you can remap other than the dedicated device switch button (it’s meant for that) . Even gestures controls too… but all thru Logitech’s app FLOW. not sure if you use other key binders since I haven’t tried it out.

[@mikesun7631]

The numpad doesn't work on Mac, but perfectly fine when paired to Windows PC. Do you have the same issue, or do I have a defect product? Thanks.

Do you find that the num pad takes up space for the mouse and make it harder to use? I trying to find right setup to stop wrist, elbow, arm, shoulder pain when using computer... I recently returned it to try a different k380 keyboard and mx ergo mouse but the k380 keyboard buttons seem to small, I prefer the mk850 keyboard without the number pad cuz the mouse seems awkward... but could be just desk and chair issue

[@kendidshoots]

Yooooo sorry for the late late reply. Numpads are a blessing in disguise. Taking up way more space then intended. when I was using the mk850 back then it was OK for me probably because I have a larger desk don’t find it awkward. Since then I’ve changed to using a small form factor keyboard and never looked back

[@kendidshoots]

Hey there, thanks for dropping by! For this price point its really hard to beat, but membrane keyboard gets boring pretty quickly, if you are not fuzzy about it, I guess its still a good buy. Of course there are cheaper logitech combo (Mouse + Keyboard) - MK235, MK245, MK545... For me the Triatholon mouse itself is worth a lot IMO !! Middle scroll wheel lean Left and Right is OP

[@67steinip]

I love this review, I actually bought today my 3rd M720 mouse, I have the 4th in a packaging, waiting for 2025-2027 because as much as I LOVE that mouse! to DEATH for my productivity (nongamer) The lifespan of the click is approx 10M clicks which in 2.5 years almost like clockwork starts misfiring, then I have the Logitech MK345 which I like but the space bar is getting a bit loosy goosy, so I am trying to see if im replacing it with just another MK345 or if MK850 Performance would be the replacement. The Mesh armrest is putting me off though, the MK345 has a plastic armrest, no need to brush it monthly.. It's a tough one, but the review is good thank you =)

[@Ichimaru29]

[@MgThompson]

I bought one, and I am very satisfied. It is very good to see that it kept the quality after 1.5 year of use. Previously, I had the Microsoft Designer bluetooth and keyboard, and I am thinking this MK850 from Logitech is superior and cheaper. Thanks for the review!

Hey Fabiano, yes ! It has hold up for about 2years now ! All still very functional ! The mouse tho has insane value in this combo in my opinion! Thanks for stopping by 🥺

[@MgThompson]

@@kendidshoots I totally agree, this mouse is awesome! I have just tested the Flow feature from Logi Options app, and it works very well. The best for me is that you can replace the same mouse as it is bluetooth and it also connects with the unifying dongle. For me, Logitech is winning the device race against others by bringing high quality products at a competitive price. I quit buying Microsoft devices for now. :) Keep posting! Thanks!

[@kendidshoots]

​ @Fabiano Simões yes ! Unifiying dongle is OP! I gave away my K850 keyboard to someone that has a MX Anywhere 2S. Paired it up, they are both using the dongle that came with the 2S. 100% agree on Logitech dominating the peripheral market for quality! I am looking forward to pick up the MX Keys sometime in the future !! Thanks man! Have a good one yourself!

Hey Sheng, 6:19 u mean? Yeah it’s built for ergonomics, and it’s pretty comfortable. Never really annoyed me. The mesh finish is not slippery, has like a “mesh” texture when you slide across it. Yes it’s doesn’t stick to your palms

[@JonathanLindeque]

Hi there... I was curious if the mouse and the keyboard "device select" buttons worked 1) independently or in 2) tandem. What I mean by this is: if I am connected to more than 1 device, and 1) I press "DEVICE 2" on the keyboard will both the mouse and the keyboard switch over to "DEVICE 2"? Or 2) would I need to switch them both over independently? In other words... I would need to press "DEVICE 2" button on keyboard and "DEVICE 2" button on the mouse as well, if I wanted to switch both to "DEVICE 2"?

[@kendidshoots]

Hey there sorry late reply. It automatically switches when pressing device 2. both mouse and the keyboard will switch together.

[@JonathanLindeque]

​@@kendidshoots Thank you for the response. But after purchasing and receiving the Logitech MK850 Keyboard and Mouse Combo, *that is NOT my experience.* One needs to switch each device independently. I don't know how you experience something different, or if you have additional software installed to aid this (or have a different version of MK850). Further feedback on the keyboard is that it does NOT always connect successfully or speedily to the device(s) connected by Bluetooth (sometimes requiring me to turn off and on again the BT on that device, and manually re-connect to keyboard and mouse when trying to switch). The keyboard does NOT feature a "context key" (usually between the RHS ctrl+alt keys) - which is really annoying. The Functions Keys are not "grouped" or split into groups of 4 - like most keyboards. Finally the last complaint I have about this device is that the keyboard also does NOT have a NUM LOCK indicator. Do I have any positive feedback? Yes. The keyboard is constructed from good material, the palm rest is comfortable, and the height/tilt feet conveniently offer two (plus default/none) different angles. The two mouse scroll options (controlled mechanically by button on top of mouse) are odd - some may like it.

[@santoshbulusu]

Without any software will the function key work by default or do we have to press fn+f8?

[@kendidshoots]

Hey Santosh, I have just checked and there is a way to bypass using the FN keys without installing any software. [FN + ESC] allows you to use the FN row directly pressing (F1 --> F12). Hope this helps !

Can I use 3 USB dongles (unyfing) for each of the buttons? Instead of bluetooth?

Hey Felipe, I am not sure about it, but I don’t think you need a unifying dongle just to connect to this keyboard. Instead, if you pc or device doesn’t have Bluetooth, just get a Bluetooth dongle and pair it. The Unifying dongle is meant to connect multiple Logitech devices into a single dongle instead of 2, or 3 dongle just for peripherals

We are allowed to install softwares only from company's internal software store. Everything else is forbidden. That means Logitech Options and Flow are not options. Does device switch work natively/transparently? (without installing any software) Without Logitech Options, pressing device selector 1/2/3 switches both keyboard and mouse together?

Please help me make a purchase: I am considering a relatively cheaper model K375S as I already own a Razer wireless mouse. Can you please help me understand if this combo is worth its price (INR 6500)? and is it worth dumping my Razer Atheris mouse? Thanks in advance.

[@kendidshoots]

Hey Sukumar, I would say the MK850 is really a great combo deal. Both the K375s and the Razer Atheris are pretty old right ? For the keyboard, if you are not looking at a smaller sized keyboard then MK850’s Keebs are good. For your mouse, the razer’s latency is not too competitive also, changing to the m720 triathlon mouse won’t make a huge difference, i assume you are not a competitive gamer, if you are planning to get a better razer mouse for competitive gamer then consider your K375s!! Hope this helps a bit! If this purchase is for casual daily use, the MK850 is solid

[@SukumarBallavolu]

@@kendidshoots Thanks for the info. I do game a bit but not too often and that is when I switch to 2.4ghz channel over bluetooth. There is no intension to change mouse anytime soon, I am pretty happy with the Atheris(compact and functional - gets the work done). The first set of batteries I got with the mouse are yet to die. Will check mk850 out. Thanks again.

[@dineshk4254]

My m720 is getting disconnected, When im using the mouse for scrolling or for some operations, and when i use my key board to type something, and return to mouse operation it was taking 3-5 seconds to use the mouse? Is there anyone facing the similar issue

[@kendidshoots]

Hey Dinesh, so far my connection have been pretty solid. Only when switching thru flow (laptop 1 to laptop 2) takes about 1s. And among bluetooth connection probably 1-2s

[@Waemaa]

Will this keyboard/mouse works with a XBox series X?

Heyyy, sorry I don’t have an Xbox with me. Maybe someone from the comments can help out ? 🥲

[@ROHILJAIN9826]

Can I pair it with total 3 devices (2 bluetooth + 1 receiver) or 4 devices (3 bluetooth + 1 receiver) ?

[@kendidshoots]

Hey there ! Only up to 3 devices, on the keyboard indicated 1,2,3. By default no.1 is the USB receiver but you can change it to all 3 Bluetooth connection also. Pair it back with Logitech unifying app later if required

[@ROHILJAIN9826]

@@kendidshoots Thanks!

[@AnilKumar-lf5jt]

How is the latency when connected over bluetooth? Is is good for FPS gaming?

[@kendidshoots]

Hey Anil, will highly not recommend this for gaming coz it's not meant to be a gaming mouse XD rather your everyday browsing, casual mouse. Bluetooth connection on Windows is pretty Good, however on the M1 Macs, suffers a little bit of stutter here and there.

[@AnilKumar-lf5jt]

@@kendidshoots Curious, why aren't these mice not suitable for gaming?

[@kendidshoots]

@@AnilKumar-lf5jt there should be a reason why Razer or Logitech G series, Steel Series have their own line up for gaming mouse. Have to do with Polling rate, DPI sensitivity, and also hot keys for in game. The MK850 is not designed for gaming but for overall everyday use, I mean you can “technically” still use it for casual gaming but don’t expect it to be super good 🤣

[@AnilKumar-lf5jt]

@@kendidshoots I was wondering if I could get the job done with a single mouse for both the use cases. Gaming mouse do seem aesthetic, but the side buttons seem to do the same job. I dunno if its just a business point of view to have two different lineups, or practically as well. I understand any mouse will do for casual gaming, but for FPS, it seems a bit tricky...

[@kendidshoots]

@@AnilKumar-lf5jt yeah for sure, it will get the job done.. but how well does it perform doing its job, if you care about gaming seriously then MK850 probably wont cut it? but if its an all rounder everything mouse, it is fantastic!

I can't get the mouse to connect via Bluetooth with my Mac. Any suggestions?

[@kendidshoots]

Hey there, can you give me more information to help troubleshoot? Does the mouse have batteries? Does the mouse have any LED ONs when you turn on? Can the mouse connect to other devices other than the Mac? Did you try the the correct pairing method? Long press on bluetooth button and pair on your device?

[@natashamcdaniel8542]

@@kendidshoots yes, it has batteries. The LED light blinks on both the keyboard and the mouse when I pair. But, once I pair to my computer, the keyboard works, but the mouse will not. I can connect the keyboard to my phone using the "2" key, but the mouse will not work for that either. The number 1 on the mouse is blinking, but it's not working. thank you for replying!

@@natashamcdaniel8542 first device is paired via USB. By default. Unless if you decide to connect Bluetooth then you would need to pair. To return to the original dongle USB default setting , you would need the unifying app to reset it.

You got the dimensions of the mouse wrong. I would guest 115mm depth 74 mm width and 45 mm in height based on the dimension you gave.

[@integrateerp479]

This is a great review, thank you. I've had this keyboard and mouse for around a year and only used minimal features. This has opened up a whole new world and makes repettetive tasks so much easier. Great review on the mouse as well (kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3vJimSoZ5yAlcU) Flow is such a cool feature. Being able to copy and paste between different devices is such a time saver. Very informative and clearly laid out review, thank you for making this.

[@kendidshoots]

Appreciate your time here , glad that it was helpful! Flow indeed was amazing especially crossing between mac and windows !!

[@ChibiKeruchan]

I'm surprise you didn't include the "battery" on your dislike part. with todays standard most cheap competitor put a rechargeable battery on it which can be charged by USB cable. battery last up to an average of 20 days of continues usage. and since it can be charged with USB cable, it won't interrupt you if it does goes off at the middle of your work coz you can connect it to USB while using it. I believe this model needs an upgrade. I really like the easy switch to different devices. that's the reason why I came here after seeing this on lazada. but the battery is giving me doubt. I'm not a a fan of 2A 3A batteries.

[@kendidshoots]

Hey James, battery being easily replaceable is always an advantage for me. Rest assured than battery has higher charge capacity around 1,200-2000 maH per battery. So it's doubled when used. It's true that being able to use keyboard whilst charging is useful, but you do get a battery warning indication when you are using it a low battery. AA batteries should be easily accessible everywhere, you might even have a spare at your house. Agreed that the standard nowadays should have built in battery as well as an option to use batteries. Solves the issue here. And BTW, consider rechargeable AA batteries XD Thanks for writing, appreciate your thoughts

[@AnilKumar-lf5jt]

isn't the battery life here rated for a couple years and not days already?

[@kendidshoots]

@@AnilKumar-lf5jt it is, the batteries last at least 1-2 years. Rechargable mouses like the MX Master 3, chews thru battery around 90days ish

[@DanielZanellaDZ]

I got a combo MK850 and after two years I got problems and frustrations...The keyboard can't stand for two weeks with an alkaline batteries pair. With the mouse I had to buy new micro switch to change it because the left mouse started to double click with a single click movement...After that, the mouse is working fine, but the keyboard is absolutely impossible to use... That said...I think it's expensive for the price...cheaper products can survive more than two years...
