Is the Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo worth it?
Yes — the cheapest sensible way to go wireless.
No independent reviewer has tested it, so this verdict comes from Logitech's specs and what verified owners say. You get a full-size keyboard with a number pad and eight media and web hotkeys, plus a small symmetrical mouse, both on one USB receiver. The keyboard runs up to two years on two AAA batteries and the mouse about a year on one AA. There's no Bluetooth, no backlight, the mouse is small for big hands and the keys feel plasticky.

How we reached this verdict
We found no independent expert test of the MK270, so we rest this on Logitech's spec page and verified owner reviews. Logitech lists a 2.4 GHz receiver, a full-size keyboard with eight hotkeys, up to 24 months on the keyboard's AAA batteries and 12 on the mouse's AA; owners praise its build, value and reliability, and the complaints are mostly a keyboard that lags or misses keystrokes, the odd failed unit and a small mouse.
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.
