Question 1

My computer no longer has a CD ROM and I noticed that this product comes with "CD Software." Will this present a problem when I plug in the wireless remote?

Accepted Answer

Nope, as long as you have windows 7, you just plug it in.

One tip is to use a USB extender other wise the keyboard may lag.  YMMV.

Question 2

is the keyboard wireless too? or just mouse is wireless?

Accepted Answer

Both are wireless.  You will receive a small USB stick that you will plug into your computer and that will allow the keyboard and mouse to work using wireless.

Question 3

Is this compatible with windows 8.0?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this keyboard does work with Windows 8, and also with my update to Windows 8.1

Keyboards are fairly basic item for the drivers to be updated.
You should have no problems.

That being said, I do not use any of the shortcut buttons.
The built-in buttons generally require manufacturer specific drivers (software that helps hardware talk to the Windows system) in order that specific buttons function.

Hang On!!!

Yeppers, the volume shortcut button works, so others are likely to work as well

Question 4

is this a back lit keyboard?

Accepted Answer

Using the keyboard to answer this question and the answer is no, it is not a backlit keyboard.

This is my keyboard of choice, currently own three of them. I use this keyboard in all types of lighting environments, from low light to very bright light without straining to know which key is  which.  Often use it with the only light being that which is thrown off by the monitor.

The keys are large, black with white lettering which adds to their visibility in all light conditions.

As I said this is my keyboard of choice, partly due to its near indestructible nature and its keyboard layout and usability.

Hope this helps

Question 5

Is this a full size mouse, or mid to mini in size ??

Accepted Answer

It's a mid size. I didn't like this wireless keyboard, sent it back because it is extremely slow, ,and got the wired version -- MUCH faster!

Question 6

Are there compatibility with Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

I have a number of these at this office and have used them on XP and Windows 7 (I haven't tried them on Windows 8 yet).  Nowadays, of course, I'm only using them on Windows 7.  Works fine.

Question 7

Is this compatible with a Dell PC?

Accepted Answer

Because it uses a USB port it should work with any PC that supports a USB.  It's not hardwired to the mother board interface.  As long as you have a free USB slot and are running some reasonable level Windows OS it should work just fine.

Question 8

Will this work on a computer running Ubuntu?

Accepted Answer

The keyboard will work with Ubuntu but the Logitech software to set up hot keys and such on the keyboard will not

Question 9

Is this the Logitech K350 keyboard?

Accepted Answer

yes it is they just add a mouse and call it the mk550 combo

Question 10

Can you turn the ability to be lit on and off or is the light on all the time?

Accepted Answer

Please ignore my other answer - this question turned up under a small gigabit switch which has a few small LEDs.
