Logitech K380

- Up to three devices can be connected simultaneously

The battery life (3 AAA) can go up to 24 months, so you can forget about it for a while. The manufacture of the keyboard and mouse is nothing to write home about, but its low price makes up for it.
The keyboard is not very big, so if you are going to make intensive use of it, it is better to opt for other options.
And where do we put all this? We are going to need a good mouse pad, and it is best to buy an XXXL model that is a mat that occupies the entire table: TeckNet XLL Mouse Pad with a dimensions of 900x450x3mm
