Price drops on this keyboard and mouse at Big W :)

These prices are available in-store but you can price match at other places if they're closer. Doesn't have unifying receiver unfortunately but still a good price.

Seems to be the cheapest the MK220 has been. Delivery is an extra $9.95 but I would not recommend to do this as it's cheaper elsewhere.

Enjoy :)

    +1 for price and for posting in description about the unifying receiver as thats what I wanted to know.

    it doesn't seem to have the lights to indicate whether Num Locl/ Caps Lock/ Scroll Lock is on. It can be very frustrating at times not knowing when Caps Lock is on, especially when entering passwords.

      It's wireless, an LED on 24x7 would kill the battery. The equivalent MS keyboard is the same.

        The tiny little LED under such keys would not 'kill' the battery, or drain it to any meaningful degree. In any case, these keys could always be 'unlocked' when the keyboard was not in use.

        • Grok on 25/05/2017 - 15:28
          +15

          It would kill the battery, wireless keyboards more or less turn off between key presses that is why they last a year or more even on the cheap models and even with one AAA battery.. An Iit LED would massively increase power consumption.

          Having it turn off after a time would make it non intuitive and introduce a timer and extra circuitry. This is a base model wireless set.

          Finally many of these models have driver that shows an onscreen indication of caps lock but that is an even worse situation.

        • EnALup on 25/05/2017 - 16:39

          @SamR: I have a wireless keyboard and it shows capslock on. Pretty handy feature I would say. But for That price, I wont bother asking for it even.

          @Gaggy: i have a wireless and a wired keyboard hooked into the same computer. when I hit capslock on the wireless keyboard then the light goes on on the wired keyboard

        • EnALup on 25/05/2017 - 19:31

          @altomic: That is normal and will happen if you have multiple keyboards attached. I have K270 and does not affect the battery life. I think it switches off automatically after not used for some time.

        • Suspect420 on 25/05/2017 - 20:57

          @altomic: Got Milk? Yep - I've got 4 hands!

        • SomeGuyOnOzB on 27/05/2017 - 18:53

          @Gaggy:
          Maybe altomic is saying, if you have space etc, you can have an old wired keyboard plugged in, as well as one of these wireless keyboards, to overcome the lack of a light on this one?

    • mrfluffy on 25/05/2017 - 16:31

      I got mine from Harvey Norman on special for about $18. I don't use the keyboard because of the no Caps lock indicator. That annoys the hell out of me. Hope i don't get negged like Zinger for have the same opinion.
      The mouse is fine though.

  • jtrvk on 25/05/2017 - 15:48

    I think the keyboard and mouse lacks an on-off switch but still a great bargain at this price!

    Edit: Thanks @Dabbler68 for clarification regarding the keyboard on/off switch.

  • KupoHo on 25/05/2017 - 16:01

    Is this available at Officeworks? Couldn't find it when I searched their website just then :(

    • doweyy on 25/05/2017 - 16:03

      Oh wait yeah it isn't, it was last time I checked. My bad.

      • KupoHo on 25/05/2017 - 16:06

        Doh! Think this is a pricing error as I saw it in the catalogue for around $22 I think?

        • doweyy on 25/05/2017 - 16:06

          That's weird cause the MK270R is also on sale so I thought I'd be normal pricing.

    I recently bought one of these combos just for the keyboard. I like the small size, but am disappointed that it is not compatible with my existing unifying receiver, as I am keeping my better mouse in service, so need both receivers plugged in. It feels like what it is … a cheap keyboard. For $12 it's great value if you are happy with the feel. I'm thinking of looking for something better.

    As for the comments above about lights for Caps Lock. It does have such a light, and it stays on for about 3 minutes before going out. Any keypress illuminates it again. There is no indicator for the NumLock. An interesting feature is when rebooting the PC (Win 7), the CapsLock setting gets reset to Off, but Numlock stays as set on the keyboard.

    Also, the keyboard does have an On/off switch. I can't say for the mouse (M510) becasue it's still in the packaging.

    • oldspice on 25/05/2017 - 17:01

      Any other value for money keyboards that are compatible with the unifying receiver?

      • banana365 on 25/05/2017 - 17:35

        There is one that is visually identical but has a better build quality, the K230. I use one every day at work (bought my own as I like them). Combine that with an M570 trackball and you've got the perfect solution for a cluttered desk - small keyboard + non-moving mouse.

    • ntt on 26/05/2017 - 13:34

      I think there is a software to sync your keyboard with your unifying, if I don't remember it wrong, just google it.

    • unwashed00 on 26/05/2017 - 15:36

      Where's that light? I have this very keyboard and it doesn't seem to have it

  • zappy32 on 25/05/2017 - 20:56

    The keyboard on these are quite small and flimsy. I wouldn't recommend it for anything but having a portable keyboard to take with your laptop. I accidentally ordered one of these for work and found it wasn't practical for any serious amount of typing, the mouse is fine however.

    • buneyha on 25/05/2017 - 22:59

      You must be the first person I've heard of that uses an external keyboard on their laptop.

      Can't picture anyone at a cafe doing that.

        I do use an external keyboard at home as I usually connect it to another monitor and also have a laptop stand if I'm using it in a different location around the home. This model would be geared more towards giving presentations etc where you're hooked into a projector or pushed back on a desk for clients to see while you're working on it.

      • Gravy on 26/05/2017 - 08:22

        I have my laptop set up as a desktop in clamshell mode (lid closed) and have an external keyboard and monitor

      • drunkendoody on 26/05/2017 - 10:06

        Make that 2 :) I have 2 monitors connected to my Laptop so having this keyboard is handy as the screen on my laptop is switched off.

        • buneyha on 28/05/2017 - 15:36

          He mention as a portable keyboard.. ie. Used outside the house. Thats why i mention the cafe..

  • Crazy Lion on 25/05/2017 - 22:53

    great price. i m a big user of logitech, i have this product, i works good. great for typing.

    • buzzliteyear on 26/05/2017 - 09:58

      Haha I'm going to presume that your trying to be funny or you posted this with your phone because the praise your giving it is being undone by your typing skills lol.

      • Crazy Lion on 29/05/2017 - 16:13

        :/ this is harsh. i guess you are a teacher in a Montessori school.

  • aromatase on 26/05/2017 - 00:03

    I've had this keyboard for over 3 years, its an excellent buy. I for one like the low profile and mushy key presses almost haha.

  • woodwa on 26/05/2017 - 09:06

    can anyone confirm the range all my wireless stuff struggles 5m from behind the tele(where it needs to be). and if it would work on carpet

    cheers

    • drunkendoody on 26/05/2017 - 10:03

      I had it attached to my computer sitting behind my tele and it worked great, was roughly 3 - 4 mtrs. Since I got another keyboard for home, I am using the MK220 at work. The real estate on this keyboard is not that great, but the keys are nice to type.
