Mascom International stocks the Logitech MK250 at KSh 4,400, brand new and sealed, a compact keyboard and mouse pair that connects over Bluetooth Low Energy with no USB receiver at all. The Logitech MK250 keyboard weighs 380 g with its two AAA batteries fitted, and both devices are rated for 12 months on their cells. The 1000 DPI mouse weighs just 76 g with its single AA battery, and each device works up to 10 metres from your computer. Come and handle the Logitech MK250 at Mascom International, First Floor, Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for MacBook owners, consultants, journalists and NGO field staff across Kenya, the Logitech MK250 solves a problem thin laptops keep creating: too few ports. Many current laptops carry only two USB-C ports, and a receiver-based combo takes one of them or forces you to carry an adapter. The Logitech MK250 pairs directly with the laptop's built-in Bluetooth, leaving every port free for charging, flash drives and a projector. It works with Windows 10 and 11, macOS 12 or later and ChromeOS, so it suits nearly any recent laptop in a mixed office in Westlands.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International sells the Logitech MK250 only as a sealed, genuine retail unit, and our staff will pair it with your laptop at the counter before you leave. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the Logitech MK250 frees up a USB port they badly needed on a thin laptop, and that the light mouse is easy to forget in a bag. Visit us Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, to try it with your own machine, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to your door.
Common Questions About the Logitech MK250
How much is the Logitech MK250 in Kenya?
The Logitech MK250 costs KSh 4,400 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That covers the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with their AAA and AA batteries installed, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. There is no receiver to pay for or lose. The receiver-based Logitech MK220 costs KSh 1,100 less at KSh 3,300, and the Logitech MK270 sits at KSh 4,000 with a full-size layout.
Should I buy the Logitech MK250 or the Logitech MK220?
Buy the Logitech MK250 if your laptop has Bluetooth and few spare ports, and the Logitech MK220 if your computer lacks Bluetooth or runs Linux. The Logitech MK250 connects without a receiver and lists macOS support, while the Logitech MK220 relies on a USB-A receiver and is not listed for Mac. The Logitech MK250 mouse is rated for 12 months on one AA cell, against 5 months on two AA cells for the Logitech MK220, which costs KSh 1,100 less.
Does the Logitech MK250 need a USB receiver to connect?
No, the Logitech MK250 has no USB receiver; both the keyboard and the mouse connect through your computer's built-in Bluetooth. Logitech uses Bluetooth Low Energy, a version of Bluetooth designed to stretch battery life. Pair each device once in your computer's Bluetooth settings, and it reconnects when you switch it on. Many office desktop towers have no Bluetooth, so check your PC first; one without it needs a Bluetooth adapter or a receiver-based set instead.
Will the Logitech MK250 work with a MacBook or Chromebook?
Yes, the Logitech MK250 officially supports macOS 12 or later and ChromeOS, along with Windows 10 and 11. Because it needs no USB-A port, it suits MacBook Air owners whose laptops have only USB-C ports and no room for a dongle. Pairing happens through the normal Bluetooth menu on each system, and basic typing and clicking need no Logitech software. Logitech does not list iPadOS or Android, so test a tablet or phone with the set at our store before buying.
How long do the Logitech MK250 batteries last?
Logitech rates both the Logitech MK250 keyboard and mouse for 12 months on their batteries, which come installed in the box. The keyboard takes two AAA cells and the mouse takes one AA cell, all replaceable by the user. Battery power means KPLC outages never affect the set, as long as your laptop itself stays on. A green light on the keyboard and a red light on the mouse show power and pairing status, which helps after a battery swap.
Is the Logitech MK250 practical to carry on a daily matatu or boda boda commute?
The Logitech MK250 travels well, because the keyboard weighs 380 g and the mouse 76 g, with no receiver to drop on a matatu floor. The keyboard is 22.8 mm thick, so it slides into most laptop bag sleeves beside a 14-inch laptop. Switch both devices off before you leave so they do not wake in the bag and drain the cells. For boda boda rides in the rain, keep the set in a zipped inner pocket, since Logitech gives it no water-resistance rating.
How does typing on the Logitech MK250 feel?
The Logitech MK250 keys need 50 g of force to press and travel 2.5 mm, giving a light, quick feel close to a laptop keyboard. Logitech rates the standard keys for 5 million presses each, so they are built for heavy daily office use. The compact layout keeps the mouse close to your typing hand, which eases shoulder strain over long days. Students at USIU and Strathmore writing long assignments can expect it to feel gentler than hunching over a laptop's flat deck.
Who should buy the Logitech MK250, and who should skip it?
Buy the Logitech MK250 if you use a recent laptop or MacBook, value free ports, and want a set that slips into a bag. It suits consultants, journalists and students who work between home, office and campus. Skip it if your desktop has no Bluetooth or runs Linux; the Logitech MK220 with its USB receiver is the simpler fit. Accountants who need a number pad should look at the Logitech MK270, and anyone wanting a slimmer, low-profile set can consider the Logitech MK470 at KSh 9,000.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Bluetooth Connection
- Bluetooth Low Energy on both keyboard and mouse — a low-power wireless standard that connects without any USB receiver or dongle.
- Up to 10 metres of wireless range — room to sit back from a laptop on a stand or a computer linked to a TV.
- Optical IR LED mouse sensor at 1000 DPI — DPI is pointer movement per inch of hand travel; 1000 handles documents and browsing comfortably.
- 133 Hz Bluetooth report rate — the mouse updates its position 133 times a second, smooth for office work though not built for competitive gaming.
- Three mouse buttons — left, right and a middle click under the scroll wheel for opening links in new tabs.
- Status lights on both devices — a green light on the keyboard and a red light on the mouse confirm power and pairing.
Compatibility
- Windows 10, 11 or later — pairs through the standard Bluetooth settings on current Windows laptops and desktop PCs with Bluetooth.
- macOS 12 or later — supported officially, so MacBook Air and MacBook Pro owners get a combo listed for their system.
- ChromeOS — works with the Chromebooks many schools, universities and students use for coursework.
- Requires built-in Bluetooth on the computer — many desktop towers lack it and would need a Bluetooth adapter to connect.
- No USB port used — leaves the ports on a thin laptop free for charging, flash drives, external screens and projectors.
- iPadOS, Android and Linux not listed by Logitech — test any of these at our store before relying on the set daily.
Build and Typing Feel
- Keyboard size 369.9 mm wide, 136.9 mm front to back and 22.8 mm thick — a compact footprint for narrow desks and laptop bags.
- Keyboard weight 380 g with batteries — light for travel yet steady enough not to slide around while you type.
- 50 g actuation force and 2.5 mm key travel — actuation force is the press needed to register a key; 50 g feels light and quick.
- Standard keys rated for 5 million keystrokes each — built to hold up under heavy daily typing in busy offices.
- Mouse measuring 100 mm by 60 mm by 38 mm and weighing 76 g with battery — a light shape that suits small and medium hands.
- Post-consumer recycled plastic in keyboard and mouse — the shells reuse plastic from discarded consumer products, cutting the need for new plastic.
Inclusions and Power
- Keyboard battery of 2 x AAA cells, rated for 12 months — a full year of typing before the first swap.
- Mouse battery of 1 x AA cell, rated for 12 months — a single low-cost cell carries the mouse through the year.
- Batteries pre-installed in both devices — the set is ready as soon as you switch it on and pair it.
- User-replaceable cells — no built-in battery to wear out and no charging cable to keep track of.
- KSh 4,400 spread across the 12-month battery rating — about KSh 12 a day for a desk free of cords and dongles.
- Printed user document in the box — pairing steps for each system, handy for first-time Bluetooth users.
- Brand new sealed retail unit — the keyboard and mouse have never been paired with another computer before they reach you.
Package Contents
Inside the Logitech MK250 box you get the compact Bluetooth keyboard with two AAA batteries installed, the wireless mouse with one AA battery installed, and a printed user document with pairing steps. There is no USB receiver, because the set connects through Bluetooth, and no charging cable, because both devices run on replaceable cells. Mascom International sells each unit sealed, so you are the first person to pair it with a computer.

The Logitech MK250 comes with a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use in the keyboard and the mouse.
