Logitech’s MX series of mice and keyboards are some of the best-regarded on the market. But they’re also some of the most expensive, at least if you’re not interested in the excessive, LED-laden gamer designs. Today two travel-friendly entries are being offered in a combo sale for an impressive $80 off. You can get the slim MX Keys Mini keyboard and MX Anywhere 3 mouse, which would run you $180 together, for just $120 from Lenovo’s online store with a coupon code.
Specifically, Lenovo is selling the “MX Keys Mini Combo for Business” package at this discounted price. Don’t be intimidated by the button-down labeling — that just means they come in non-retail packaging. The keyboard and mouse inside are exactly the same models you’d find on a Best Buy store shelf, with the same capabilities.
And those capabilities are pretty nice. The MX Keys Mini is basically the Windows version of the Apple Magic Keyboard, but with a deeper and more satisfying typing feel thanks to generous scissor switches and comfy concave keys. It has automatically dimming backlighting and quadruple-device pairing. You can read our review of the keyboard here — it’s one of our best picks for portable designs.
The MX Anywhere Mouse 3 is a travel mouse, smaller than a standard design, but still has the MX series’ signature metal scroll wheel with silent and inertial scrolling that can automatically shift between super-fast spinning or precise clicking. Its primary claim to fame is that its highly sensitive laser can work on almost any surface (even glass), and it’ll last for months on a charge.
Both devices can connect to up to three inputs via Bluetooth or share a USB wireless dongle, and can smoothly shift between multiple PCs or Macs at once with Logitech’s Flow software. But having owned both products, I think they’re most at home with mobile devices — add both of them to an iPad or Samsung device and you’ve got an on-the-go writing setup that’s the rival of any ultra-portable laptop.
Lenovo’s online store is offering the combo package at a discount of $149.99. But if you add the coupon code Graphite120 at checkout, you can take an additional $30 off for a final price of $119.99, with free shipping. Not bad at all.
