Question 2

Does this keyboard have an external USB port for memory sticks?

Accepted Answer

No it does not it would need to be wired or bluetooth to transfer the data. This is RF wireless which works very well but you cannot transfer that kind of data through RF.

Question 3

wheres the usb rf thingy, none in either box?

Accepted Answer

The actual USB transceiver is stored inside the mouse.  Open the battery door and you will see it.  There also should be a small USB extender to allow you to locate the transceiver closer to your keyboard and mouse.

Question 4

how do i connect the mouse and keyboard to the computer??

Accepted Answer

The USB receiver is inserted into a USB port, then the user activates the software [called SetPoint, and available in 32 or 64 bit versions] to pair up the mouse and keyboard. Usually however, the mouse is found when the receiver is inserted, and so no other mouse or keyboard is needed. If for some reason it is, after pairing the mouse and keyboard, simply unplug the non-Logitech keyboard and/or mouse.

These things are usually close to automatic, and you only get in any sort of difficulty if you have more than 1 set, or are switching using a receiver that has been previously set up on another machine.

Question 5

Does the "CAPS LOCK" button have an indicator light somewhere?

Accepted Answer

No - that is why the bats last. Just need to be careful. It is the BEST wireless keyboard mouse around!!

Question 6

does refurbished mk550 work with windows 8.1?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  I have one of these keyboards running on my daughter's laptop with 8.1 and I have another keyboard running on my laptop with Win 7.

Question 7

Is there a reason why I should not use the Logitech K350 keyboard with Windows 8.1?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I am on Windows 7 Pro so I don't have the Windows 8.1 experience.  Having said that, I can't imagine why it wouldn't wouldn't work with 8.1.  It uses the standard Logitech Unifying Receiver that all the wireless Logitech products use these days, so if Windows 8.1 didn't have a driver for it I'm sure Logitech would fix that pretty fast.  I'd go to Logitech's support site to see if they know of any 8.1 issues.

Question 8

If buying 2 sets of these can they work on 2 systems sitting next to each other on the same desk without stepping on each other? In other words; if I type on 1 would it appear on both systems (assuming both were on and in a text field or both mouse pointers would move when operating the mouse) So is there a way to "assign" each mouse/keyboard pair to 1 system?

Accepted Answer

I use two of these systems at the same time [one on my laptop, one with my desktop] without any issues. I think each begins automatically paired to the RF receiver they are shipped with. So if I use mouse #1, it will not affect computer #2, same goes with my keyboards.

My advice would be to set each system up individually, as in with one set turned off while setting up the other, and go from there.

Question 9

i see that their are three listing for this one new and two refurbished they all look the same but this one not as plashed on the black by the gray buttons so is older than the other two and this my be a typo but this has 2AA batters for power as the others say 4 also if this is not same what can those two that it cant?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure about the other listings you are looking at.  When I look it up on Newegg I only see the refurbished listing and one listing for the keyboard new.  The 2AA batteries is a typo.  The keyboard and the mouse each require 2AA batteries.

Question 10

DOES THIS KEYBOARD HAVE A USB PORT TO USE?

Accepted Answer

Mouse has the Nano chip stored in battery compartment which you must open to install two AA batteries. Remove the Nano chip and install into a USB port of the computer and reboot also install two AA batteries on keyboard before you restart
The computer will restart allow the software to download itself and the keyboard and mouse will work. The mouse has a good feel and can be adjusted as the keyboard as well. There is new software on the web that will find the mouse and keyboard and downloads itself. I have purchased three of these items and they work perfectly and I doubt another keyboard works any better and you can't beat the price. The batteries have been in the items well over 1 year and it still works perfetly
