Review: Logitech MX 5500 Revolution wireless keyboard

A Bluetooth keyboard that's good to type on

With a smooth key action and sturdy design, this keyboard is a joy to type on.

Both the keyboard and mouse connect via Bluetooth – Logitech includes a Bluetooth dongle with a quick setup button so you don’t need to mess around with passcodes.

A special Logitech function key sits in place of the usual context key (which mimics right-button mouse clicks), but is disappointing.

A small LCD provides information including time, date, email and even the current temperature, but it’s a pretty pointless addition.

Also included is Logitech’s impressive, but right-hand only, MX Revolution mouse.

Verdict

Overall: Good to type on, but the screen is a bit of a gimmick and there’s no context key
