The Final Verdict

We have noticed various complaints that the nano receiver was not included. Many people think it is missing but do carefully check the box lid. Speaking of the nano receiver, they are excellent and very much plug and play for both the Logitech MK270 and the Logitech MK275. The wireless range was good and overall, it made both combos set very convenient. Other things that we loved about the Logitech MK270 and the Logitech MK275 were the 8 hotkeys and caps lock light indicator, but many missed the num and scroll lock indicators.

The blue details of the Logitech MK275 were very nice. This wasn’t enough to make it today’s winner. It does help a great deal when product information is clear but even with the details we have, the longer battery life and extra compatibility made Logitech MK270 a great functional keyboard and mouse with an excellent price tag.
