Question 1

does this keyboard have 12 function keys, as shown in the photos, or 8 as states in the description?

Accepted Answer

I suspect the description is referring to the 8 "special" function keys that control things like audio playback. Virtually all keyboards have 12 regular function keys (F1 to F12).

Question 2

Does this include the short Unifying Receiver shown in the picture?  It's not specifically stated as such in the package contents section.  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.  The short one is the only receiver.  The larger one is a standoff that you can use to extend the distance of the receiver from the computer should you have reception problems.  This is more or less used for applications such as where the receiver is on the back of a PC under a desk.  You don't have to use it.

This keyboard/mouse works well.

Question 3

Will the Logitech MK270 wireless key boars and mouse work with windows 8 ?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tested it personally since most of our workstations are still running Windows 7, but I've never had a Logitec KB/Mouse failure on ANY system.

Question 4

Can the keyboard be paired with a unifying receiver?

Accepted Answer

The model I received can NOT be paired with a unifying receiver, only the nano-receiver that came with the combo.  When I try to pair with the unifying receiver from another Logitech device (M570), the software tells me the device I'm trying to connect (the keyboard) is not compatible.

Question 5

work with Inspiron ONE 2330 dell ?

Accepted Answer

I can't see why it wouldn't, as long as you have one free USB port. The provided software was easy to install and should be generic to any version of Windows. It works flawlessly with my T61 ThinkPad.

Question 6

Are you able to setup macros for the Function Keys or button combos like shift+2?

Accepted Answer

It's been awhile since I"ve done any spreadsheet programming, but most spreadsheets allow you to write scripts involving many functions, which are initiated either by a few key strokes or else by a call in the spreadsheet itself.

The actual  keyboard and mouse combination are no really relevant to the question you ask.

Question 7

What is the length and width of the keyboard ? I want to be sure it will fit into my case with the computer.

Accepted Answer

It's a little over 17 inches wide, and about 6 inches deep. it's fairly slim.

Question 8

how do you connect the mouse and keyboard?

Accepted Answer

If you are running Win7 or later, the process is pretty much automatic. The driver is detected and installed. The keyboard and mouse and generally fully functional during boot up, so you even have access to UEFI or the BIOS.

It's essentially smooth and painless, though when you have to log in, the numeric keypad may not be enabled, so if your password includes numbers, you will need to enter them on the top row.

Question 9

does this keyboard  have a indicator light to let you know if you are using lower case or Capital letters? If know can you recommend another wireless keyboard that does?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a light for CAPS in the top right corner. There is also an icon in the Windows tray (bottom-right of screen). The software monitors my mouse and keyboard batteries; I hover there and it says this:
Wireless keyboard K270 battery: good
Wireless mouse battery: good

That hover text also indicates the status of CAPS/Scroll/Num lock, although only CAPS has a physical light on the keyboard itself.
Num Lock: ON
etc.

Question 10

Will this work with Windows 98??  I have a wireless set now (and yes, still using the old tower w/Win 98) but the keys are getting 'sticky'  I have a converter/adapter for the USB to PS/2 plug in...

Accepted Answer

32 bit windows driver needed and  your motherboard must have USB 2.0 port then you may have a bad problem.
