Hi,

I'm using a Logitech MK220(Bluetooth mouse and compact keyboard) on my new PC. The mouse is perfect and I loved the keyboard size. However, the keyboard keeps freezing very often, what made it really troublesome to use.

Is there Blueetooth Keyboards available that don't freeze and function 100% perfect? The mouse from Logitech never freezes.
If there's not a Blueetooth available, I would have to use an USB, but it should have a long wire, of at least near 1,40m.

What I'm looking for then it's:
- Compact Keyboard
- Never freezes
- Blueetooth or Long Usb wire (1,40m at least)
- Preferably, comes with a mouse too (or I would have to use 2 usb ports, one for the mouse I already use, other for the keyboard...)

Is there perhaps some product that does all this?

As for my short review of Logitech mk220, it's concise in this:
- Simple but perfect Mouse
- Cute and nice Keyboard, but that freezes a lot :?


Thank you.

I like the Logitech MX Keys keyboard. Tried it in a shop, and the feel is very nice. Never heard something bad about the wireless connection either.

I found some very good reviews about these! However, the price is quite above what I would think of budget for now... :scared:
But it looks a nice thing to have in the future, for sure.

I think they'll be releasing a version without the numblock soon as well, which should be a bit cheaper. Not sure how much cheaper though.

Reading some reviews, I guess the problem with my Keyboard(mk220) is that it "hibernates" after sometime without use.
What I mean is that when I'm typing it doens't fail at all, it's very responsive. But, if I keep some time without using, when I use it again it's frozen, and can take several seconds to respond again.

Maybe it hibernates to save battery? Would it this hibernating thing be optional by some configuration? Is it possible to know which models of Logitech have this hibernating thing and which not? Those would be my questions... This hibernating thing is that makes it unusable.

I just checked to see which configuration software you can download from Logitech's site for that keyboard/mouse, but, couldn't find it.

If there was a CD/DVD bundled with the keyboard, I'd install the software, and check if there's an option in the software to configure the hibernation. Should be "Logitech Set Point", or "Logitech Options" software.

I use the brand inphic, bought on amazon.ca. It doesn't freeze but certain keys double type. However, now that I'm used to it; it happens less and less (could be My sausage fingers). Happy with it, but it's small and no print screen button. I end up using win+shift+r in windows 10, that is the snippet selector to do the same thing.
I don't make audio products anymore. I sell furniture & smart products.
