The convenience of working with a personal computer depends not only on the technical part of the system unit and monitor, but also largely on the keyboard with the mouse. Even the most powerful “stuffing” and stunning visual component will negate all usability, if you have mediocre input devices.
As an alternative to wired devices, many users prefer wireless keyboards and mice. The convenience of such kits is quite obvious. You can position the devices as you like without looking at the ever-confusing cables and loops.
Of course, gamers may argue that wireless keyboards and mice are highly responsive, that is, they respond to user actions with some delay. But today's communication protocols have yielded amazing results, and there are practically no problems in dynamic games. Here it’s worth to clarify right away that a good wireless keyboard with a mouse will cost much more than “attached” devices. You just have to choose the appropriate kit. This, in fact, will be discussed in our article.
So, let's try to identify a list of the best wireless keyboard and mouse sets, which includes the most intelligent devices, distinguished by their high-quality component and a large number of positive reviews from users. All of the gadgets described below can be bought both in offline and in online stores, so there should not be any problems with “feeling”.
Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop
The Microsoft company with enviable regularity makes us happy with new products, where almost any user can choose the devices for themselves to their taste and color. A new set of input devices for the computer - a wireless keyboard and mouse Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop - is a pre-processed version of the last generation of Natural Ergonomic.
The first thing that catches your eye is the exterior of the keyboard. The original appearance caused a mixed reaction among many users. For some, the set of wireless keyboard and mouse looks like an advanced device of the future, while for others, the design seems somehow perverted. Judging by the user reviews, the first turned out to be much more.
Also worth noting are excellent structural materials. The keys are pleasant to the touch, easily and clearly pressed, and the body does not slide on the surface. The location of the buttons can be called convenient for touch typing. Some, however, complain about too small function keys in the upper part of the working area, but you get used to them pretty quickly.
Kit Features
Users also liked the freestanding digital unit, which can be located anywhere, but simply removed as unnecessary. The keys themselves are not big, but the working area is glossy, therefore it collects dust like a vacuum cleaner. Fortunately, getting rid of it is not a problem, because there are no large gaps or slots around the perimeter of the buttons.
The wireless keyboard and mouse look as one, and the manipulator perfectly complements the design of the main work area. Compared to previous generations of Ergonomic, the mouse gained weight and slightly replenished, becoming more rounded. The main area is glossy, and the sides are made of textured soft-touch plastic. The recess for the thumb adds convenience to the manipulator, and the sensible laser adds efficiency.
In the kit, along with a wireless keyboard, mouse and digital block, the manufacturer did not forget to put a pair of batteries for each device and a USB adapter for synchronization with the OS. So there should not be problems with the start of work. In addition, the devices are perfectly adapted to the Windows environment.
The cost of a wireless keyboard and mouse in "CSN" and "Citylink" ranges from 6500 rubles.
RAPOO Wireless Mouse & Keyboard Combo 8000
Despite the venerable age of the kit, it is still sold, relevant and widely in demand among all categories of users. Moreover, the tandem is quite inexpensive, compared with the previous respondent. The kit is primarily attracted by its minimalism. But this does not make it less functional.
The entire working area is assembled in one block, but the keys "do not swear" and are correctly fitted to each other. Users in their reviews separately thanked the manufacturer for the wide “Enter” key, where “Slash” was moved to another place and does not crop the most important button.
It is also worth mentioning the presence of a membrane system that virtually eliminates noise. The keys themselves are pressed easily, clearly and clearly, which is very important for high-speed typing. In general, judging by the feedback from users, the keyboard is convenient: it is pleasant to type on it, it does not slide on the table due to the rubberized base.
Kit Features
The mouse boasts of originality, alas (and for some, maybe, fortunately), it cannot. The manipulator is simple, with a basic set of keys and a familiar wheel. There are no additional buttons here, so for gamers this is far from the most attractive option.
To solve some specific problems, the kit may not be very suitable, but for printing work at a computer or connecting to a media center - this is it. In general, the kit is primarily focused on convenience and energy saving, while sacrificing functionality.
Estimated cost of the kit is about 1500 rubles.
Logitech Wireless Combo MK520
Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse stand out with their signature design and attractive features. The body received a streamlined shape, and the keys are made in an anatomical key, that is, they repeat the shape of the fingers with drowning towards the center.
The coverage of the working area is matte, which eliminates the concentration of dust and dirt. In addition, it is cleaned of the latter very well. On the perimeter you can see an attractive transparent stroke, which adds originality to the gadget.
Kit Features
The working area itself is quite saturated and, in addition to the usual QWERTY keys and function buttons, there is also a multimedia unit for controlling sound and tracks. The “Enter” and Backspace keys are large, “Slash” is moved “under your feet”, and is not located on top. This moment was appreciated in their reviews by programmers and users who need fast blind printing.
The mouse feels equally comfortable in the hands of both right-handed and left-handed people, for which special thanks to the manufacturer. The laser of the manipulator received excellent accuracy and showed excellent performance even on uneven surfaces. Also pleased with the range of the receiver - 10 meters, which allows you to sit somewhere on the couch and calmly control the system.
The estimated price of the kit is about 3,500 rubles.
HP C2710 WL Ru
The classic and at the same time elegant appearance of the kit attracts the eye. In Citylink, a wireless keyboard with an HP mouse costs just over two thousand, which is quite a bit for a device from a venerable brand.
The manufacturer paid special attention to the ergonomics of the kit, and he succeeded completely. Users in their reviews note a high level of comfort when working with both the keyboard and the mouse. The keys have a clear, clear stroke, and your fingers do not get tired even with hours of work.
Kit Features
The build quality and materials used are also consistent with the brand level. The kit is perfectly assembled without a hint of backlash, slots and gaps. Both parts look solid and inspire respect. The working area is equipped with all the necessary basic keys without a block for multimedia. The last moment allowed us not to inflate the dimensions and limit ourselves to the modest dimensions of the case without any damage to the buttons themselves.
In addition, the kit boasts decent battery life and trouble-free synergy with any operating system. Devices work on the principle of Plug and Play, that is, you do not need to look for any drivers, as well as do unnecessary gestures.
Estimated cost of the kit is about 2300 rubles.
Logitech MK235 WL
Another representative of Logitech, made in a strict and business style. Among the other pluses of the kit, the keyboard can be protected from moisture separately, which fans will probably appreciate tea or coffee in the workplace. Of course, you can’t bathe her in the bathroom, but dampen it with plenty of water with a wet cloth to remove dirt - no problem.
The keyboard design is also a success. In fact, we have only one working area, and there are no frame frames as such here. The keys to the touch and during operation showed themselves exclusively from the positive side. Managing them is a pleasure: a soft, understandable and shallow course. Many users even draw the analogy of a work area with premium laptops. In addition, there is a specific switching layout on Fn.
The keyboard is good in almost everything, but what a good half of advanced users did not like was the Enter key, which has a “cropped” look with the notorious “Slash” on top. Programmers and those who are used to touch typing on standard devices have repeatedly remembered the manufacturer with an unkind word for such “convenience”. The rest do not even pay attention to the small “Enter” key and use it as if nothing had happened.
Kit Features
As for the mouse, here we have the usual and universal option for lefties and righties. The manipulator is no different: two large buttons, a wheel and a nice-looking appearance that completely fits into the style of the keyboard. The coating is matte, and soft-touch plastic is observed only on the sides. Working with the mouse is convenient, but if you have previously used anatomical models, the difference is felt very strongly.
It is also worth noting the long battery life of the kit. According to the manufacturer, on a standard AAA batteries, both the keyboard and mouse will last at least a year. According to user reviews, the way it is, if your working day does not exceed eight hours. With the most active use, the battery life is reduced to 7-8 months. But this is a very good result.
The estimated price of the kit is about 1,500 rubles.
