Logitech Wireless Wave Combo MK550 Review — Includes Keyboard and Mouse,Ergonomic Wave Design, Long Battery Life

Logitech MK550 Wireless Wave Keyboard & Mouse Combo- Ergonomic Wave Design, Long Battery Life

The Logitech Wireless Waveform MK550 features a slightly curved contoured keyboard and a smooth, substantial mouse. For typists with wrist and tendon pain, as long as you are as warm as a wave-like shape, it will be affected. Although we like the generous design of the keyboard, the padded palm rest and a range of programmable hot keys, we are disappointed with the cheap feel of the keys themselves. Although the included mouse is pleasing, the left-hander will be confused by the button layout facing the right.

Design : Groove Music) highlights buttons, settings and task views, as well as zoom switches, Microsoft Word, Excel, Edge, Search, Email and more. All in all, I calculated 30 hotkeys on the MK550 (assuming switching counts for the two keys), 17 of which can be reprogrammed using the Logitech aging SetPoint application.

Logitech calls its so-called "comfort wave design" designed to "support actual, different length fingers." We will delve into the actual feel of the keyboard in a short time.Another conspicuous style feature of the MK550 is its hotkey and management array, central volume switch encircled by media playback buttons, photos, music, Windows Media Center (mapped to Windows 10)

Button : The updated, smoother Logitech Options utility is only available for the MK550's bundled mouse - as we'll see shortly, it comes with its own impressive array of extra buttons. The MK550 keyboard and mouse are connected to the PC via a wireless 2.4GHz USB dongle, plugged in and ready to work without a driver. The MK550's wireless connection never dropped or sputtered during my testing, and the keyboard and mouse quickly reconnected after a period of inactivity. Although Logitech says the MK550 is only for Windows PCs, the keyboard and mouse combination is also connected to my iMac. However, since there is no Mac version of the Logitech SetPoint software, Mac users will not be able to customize the hotkeys of the MK550.

Whether the MK550's waving keyboard is right for you may be a taste issue. I found the outline design to be a bit gimmick and distracting, although I might get used to it. That is to say, the tiny curve of the overall keyboard shape does help to keep the wrist straighter and more comfortable. Your experience with the Logitech Comfort Wave design may vary, so I suggest you try it yourself to determine if it is appropriate. As for the keys themselves, considering the price of the keyboard, they are disappointingly "meh". Although the engraving of the buttons is easy to find, the keycaps feel a bit hollow and cheap, and there is a lot of buzz when typing.
