SilentTouch: 90% Less Noise, Same Feel

The headline feature of the Logitech MK295 is SilentTouch technology. Logitech says it removes over 90% of keyboard and mouse noise, yet the keys still have a normal, comfortable press and the mouse still gives a clear click. It is perfect for open offices, shared homes, night-time work and video calls, where a noisy keyboard can be picked up by your microphone.

Full-Size, Comfortable Keyboard

Unlike compact keyboards, the MK295 gives you a full layout, including a dedicated number pad for spreadsheets and billing work. Eight shortcut keys give one-touch access to things like play/pause, volume, mute and email. Adjustable tilt legs let you choose a comfortable typing angle, and the spill-resistant design means an accidental splash of tea or coffee is less likely to end in disaster.

Compact Silent Mouse

The included mouse has a contoured, compact shape that is comfortable for everyday work, and its silent clicks match the quiet keyboard. It is light, easy to carry, and gives smooth, responsive cursor control for browsing, documents and spreadsheets.

Simple Setup and Long Battery Life

Both the keyboard and mouse connect through a single tiny USB receiver, so setup is just plug in and start typing, with no software needed. The keyboard is rated for up to 36 months and the mouse for up to 18 months of battery life, so you will rarely need to change batteries.

Logitech MK295 vs MK470: Which Should You Buy?

Both are quiet Logitech combos, but they suit different needs. Choose the MK295 if you want a traditional full-size keyboard with tilt legs, shortcut keys and spill resistance at a lower price. Choose the MK470 if you prefer an ultra-slim, minimalist design that takes up less desk space. Read our Logitech MK470 Slim Wireless Combo review to compare.
