Bluetooth - Windows 8/10 or later; Mac OS X 10.10 or later; iOS 5 or later; Chrome OS; and Android 5.0 or later A: If you’re using a PC with an OS older than Windows 10 (WIN 7/ WIN XP / WIN Vista), you must install the XBox 360 Controller Driver before connecting the MK850 for the first time:

The reason for this delay is because it is acting as if you are unplugging the device. When it’s on, the keyboard is recognized as a controller. When turning off, the keyboard gets recognized as a keyboard. Most of the time, there is no reason to turn on/off and you should access keyboard functionality via M1. The MK850 is both, though. On a technical level what’s happening is that a game reads mouse-and-keyboard inputs from your mouse and various non-analog keys like Ctrl and the Spacebar. Then it gets controller inputs from WASD. As for the mouse, it traveled across our mousepad quite smoothly. It felt pleasantly balanced, and its finger grooves and palm contours were comfortably arranged. In addition, the combo supports Logitech’s DuoLink feature, which allows you to modify the behavior of mouse movements and gestures by holding down the function key on the keyboard.Or…well, sort-of. As I said, games aren’t built to support Aimpad. Whenever it’s enabled? The corresponding keyboard inputs are disabled. The K850 Performance's options include the ability to keep the keyboard always in the Windows layout and the option to use the F1-F12 keys as standard function keys (without using the Fn. key qualifier). The configurable keys include the Home button, F1 through F4, F11, and F12. They can be mapped to a variety of Windows functions / programs such as closing windows, Cortana, Calculator etc. Concluding Remarks All of the details of the Logitech MK710 and the Logitech MK850 are recapped in the comparison chart below.

Type and switch seamlessly between your computer, tablet, and smartphone.* Pair your mouse with up to 3 devices. MK850 Performance combo has been optimized for use with your operating systems including Windows, Mac, and Chrome™. To calibrate the Aimpad function of each key, press the key and hold it down for 4 seconds until the corresponding Aimpad KEYS change from red to green, this means that it was successfully calibrated. Whether you're investing in a convenient mouse/keyboard combo to pair with a home PC, or trying to improve your laptop experience on the go, you want an ergonomically sound wireless combo with sufficiently long battery life and connectivity to keep up with your needs. If you prefer an elegant, minimalist keyboard for your desktop, Dell’s Premier Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard is fantastic. This full-size wireless keyboard has 109 keys, including 12 programmable function keys. The aluminum board has relatively large keys with scissor switches, and it’s easy to type accurately at speed. There isn’t much travel, but it’s whisper quiet.

Regardless, it’s not hard to enable or disable Aimpad. You don’t need to go through that whole calibration routine again each time, so long as you just use the profiles to swap instead of turning off Aimpad entirely.
