Logitech MK251 Compact Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

A compact Bluetooth desktop set that keeps the numeric keypad while trimming the width. No receiver means no USB port used and nothing to lose. Batteries are supplied and rated for roughly twelve months of use, so the set can be paired once and left alone.

Before you buy

Bluetooth only, with no dongle in the box. This is the biggest reason this model gets returned. It will not work in BIOS or UEFI, will not work at a boot menu, and will not work on a PC without built in Bluetooth. If you need any of those, choose a 2.4GHz receiver based combo instead.

Compact does not mean tenkeyless. The numeric keypad is still present. What has been compressed is the navigation cluster between the letters and the numpad.

The mouse is 1000 DPI fixed with no DPI button. It is not intended for gaming and the buttons are not customisable.
