Is the Logitech MK235 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo worth it?
Yes — a cheap, sturdy set for a busy desk.
No independent reviewer has tested it, so this verdict comes from Logitech's specs and what verified owners say. Logitech says the keyboard survives spills and has tough, long-lasting keys and legends; it's full size with a number pad and 15 shortcut keys. The small mouse shares its USB receiver. The keyboard runs up to three years on two AAA batteries and the mouse a year on one AA. No Bluetooth, no backlight, and the mouse is small.

What owners say
Owners find it a well-made, good-value set that works reliably. The complaints are more varied than for most: keys set too close together, a cheap, plasticky feel, lag or dropped connections, an odd layout with a short left Shift, a small mouse and no Caps Lock light.
Good to know

- The mouse is small for large hands.

How we reached this verdict
No independent expert test of the MK235 exists, so we rest this on Logitech's spec page and verified owner reviews. Logitech lists a spill-resistant full-size keyboard with 15 hotkeys, one USB receiver and up to 36 months of keyboard battery; owners most often praise its build and value, and the complaints are mostly keys set too close together, a cheap, plasticky feel, an odd layout and no Caps Lock light.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
