Wait a few moments before replacing the battery. Perform a reset on the mouse by removing the battery (as described in the previous section).During extended periods of use, the PC may no longer recognize the USB dongle. The Logitech M185 comes with a wireless dongle that fits into one of the PC’s USB slots. This also counts as a hard-reset for the mouse, so if the wireless receiver was the cause of the problem, it could start working after removing and replacing the battery. Then close the compartment and switch the mouse back on to see if it registers with the PC. Remove the current battery and replace with one you know has power.

If the PC doesn’t detect any movement, try replacing the battery. As these models of mice do not come with an LED power indicator, you’ll need to test the power by moving it and looking for the cursor on the PC’s screen. The MK550’s wireless connection never dropped or sputtered during my testing, and both the keyboard and mouse quickly reconnected after going to sleep following periods of inactivity.Move the mouse after placing it on the mouse pad to see if the PC recognizes the device. Connectivityīoth the MK550 keyboard and mouse connect to a PC via a wireless 2.4GHz USB dongle, which plugs in and works instantly without the need for drivers. The newer, slicker Logitech Options utility works only with the mouse in the MK550 bundle-which, as we’ll soon see, comes equipped with its own impressive array of extra buttons.

In all, I counted 30 hotkeys on the K350 (assuming toggles count for two keys), 17 of which can be reprogrammed using Logitech’s aging SetPoint app. Logitech says its so-called “Comfort Wave Design” is intended to “support the actual, varied lengths of your fingers.” We’ll delve into the actual feel of the keyboard in a moment.Īnother attention-grabbing design feature on the K350 is its array of hotkeys and controls, complete with a central volume toggle surrounded by media playback buttons, prominent buttons for Photo, Music, Windows Media Center (which maps to Groove Music in Windows 10), Settings and Task View, plus a Zoom toggle, hotkeys for Microsoft Word, Excel, Edge, Search, E-mail, and more.

The keyboard itself is both slightly curved and contoured in a wave shape, creating a pair of dips roughly where the A, S, D, F, and J, K, L, and semicolon keys sit. Besides its imposing height, the K350 also boasts a padded palm rest.
