Logitech MK470 Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

Unfortunately, the connectivity issues that this keyboard had literally right out of the box is ruining an otherwise really great set. I specifically wanted the most silent keyboard and mouse combo I could easily and affordably get, and this fit the bill. I will say: they are remarkably quiet. Fully silent when typing/clicking relatively slowly. Which is great! The issue is that the keyboard persists in losing connectivity with the USB dongle for some reason (and this is when I am actively using it - not letting it sit and go into sleep mode or anything). I was trying it out with some video games and my character kept stopping in the middle of whatever I was doing. So I'd hop over to a webpage and basically (gently) keysmash until I could see that it started typing again, which would take something like 30 seconds. I just unpackaged this keyboard and set it up not even 3 hours ago and it has already happened 5 times. I replaced the batteries with fresh ones and that didn't seem to help. I haven't had too many connection issues with the mouse, although cursor does very occasionally "jump" around randomly, which I was not at all experiencing with my previous mouse. My main issue with the mouse is that it isn't the most ergonomic. It's very cute but doesn't feel great to hold and use for extended periods of time, and I have quite small hands. I think the really symmetrical shape is the main issue (which looks really nice, but isn't how your hand is shaped). It definitely feels like something you'd casually use for short periods of time, rather than for a long work day or playing games. I knew that it wasn't going to be a gaming mouse or anything like that, but I do wish it were a little more comfortable to hold than it is. Ultimately, I feel like I just can't recommend this set. The color is really lovely, the size is perfect, and I love how quiet they both are. This set would have basically been exactly what I wanted if it actually worked properly. But given that it's having issues literally right out of the box, I can't say it's worth it. Incidentally, the keyboard lost connection halfway through this review and I had to wait to finish it. Twice. So, yeah. Update, a few days later: the mouse is even worse than the keyboard now. A good 75-80% of the time this set is only good for being a cute desk accessory but is otherwise utterly non-functional.
