Logitech in their infinite wisdom has dropped the unifying dongle from this product. Instead you get a single dongle that only works for this keyboard and mouse. Even worse, they have replaced the Set-Point software with something new called "Options". This download is 3 times the size of the old Set-Point software, and the first thing it does is ask you to create an account and to share your history! No Thank You! Of course the "Options" software only controls the mouse, so if you want to map the keyboard, you still need to install the Set-Point package! I uninstalled the "Options" package since this mouse is a very basic mouse and can be controlled with Microsoft generic options. The only function that you lose is the battery monitor.
While I have always been a fan of Logitech products, this change from the unifying dongle and this keyboard in particular are changing my opinion. The keyboard has a pretty solid feel to it, but it constantly drops keystrokes. Since that is the primary function of a keyboard, I cannot recommend it. Also, the mouse that comes with this package feels really cheap (probably because it is cheap). Those 2 problems combined make this package not a bargain. I am very disappointed that Logitech is dropping the unifying dongle and software. That change alone is enough to make me look elsewhere for keyboard and mouse replacements. Overall, not recommended!
