Overview
The Logitech MK470 Slim Wireless Combo combines a low-profile wireless keyboard and a compact wireless mouse in a space-saving desktop set. Its minimalist design, laptop-style scissor keys, and quiet mouse clicks make it suitable for office work, home computing, and shared workspaces.
The keyboard includes a numeric keypad and function shortcuts, while the ambidextrous mouse is designed for use with either hand. Both devices connect through a compact Logitech USB nano receiver using 2.4 GHz wireless technology.
Wireless Connectivity and Operation
The MK470 uses a USB receiver for wireless communication rather than relying on a Bluetooth connection. Setup involves inserting the receiver into an available compatible USB port and powering the keyboard and mouse with their respective batteries.
The specified wireless operating range is up to 10 metres, although the actual range can vary with the surrounding environment and computer configuration. Automatic sleep functionality helps reduce battery consumption when the devices are not in use.
Keyboard and Mouse Design
The slim keyboard uses low-profile scissor keys for a laptop-like typing experience. Its compact layout retains a numeric keypad for entering figures and working with spreadsheets while reducing the desk space occupied by the keyboard.
The accompanying mouse has a smooth, compact shape, three buttons, a mechanical scroll wheel, and high-precision optical tracking with 1000 DPI resolution. Logitech specifies that its mouse clicks are laboratory-tested to be more than 90% quieter than those of the Logitech M170 mouse.
Key Features
- Compact keyboard and mouse combination with a slim, minimalist design.
- Low-profile scissor-key keyboard with a numeric keypad and 12 FN shortcuts.
- 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity through a USB nano receiver, with a specified range of up to 10 metres.
- Ambidextrous three-button mouse with 1000 DPI optical tracking and a mechanical scroll wheel.
- Manufacturer-rated battery life of up to 36 months for the keyboard and 18 months for the mouse, depending on usage conditions.
Applications
The MK470 is suitable for office desks, home workstations, administrative tasks, spreadsheet entry, document preparation, and general desktop computing. Its compact layout can also help keep smaller desks organised where a separate full-size keyboard and larger mouse would occupy more room.
DC Supplies Product Note
The MK470 is a receiver-based wireless combo, so check that the intended computer has a compatible USB port available. Colour and regional keyboard-layout variants use different Logitech part numbers; confirm the exact SKU and key layout before ordering if a particular colour or regional layout is required.
