Logitech MK470 Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo is now available at Mascom International for KSh 8,500, in stock at our Nairobi CBD store. This set pairs a low-profile keyboard with a full number pad and an ambidextrous 3-button mouse, both linked to one plug-and-play 2.4GHz USB nano receiver. The keyboard runs on two pre-installed AAA batteries rated for up to 36 months, while the mouse uses a single AA battery lasting up to 18 months. You can handle the Logitech MK470 in person at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD before you buy.
The Logitech MK470 is built for people who share quiet spaces. Open-plan offices in Westlands and Upper Hill, home desks where one person works while another sleeps, and university libraries all suffer from clacky keyboards and loud mouse clicks. The MK470 answers that with whisper-quiet scissor keys and a mouse that cuts click noise by more than 90% compared to the Logitech MK470. Accountants entering figures, students writing dissertations, and receptionists at busy front desks get a clean typing feel without disturbing anyone nearby.
At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for wireless sets that clear cable clutter without draining a monthly budget. The Logitech MK470 costs far less than most mechanical or ergonomic bundles yet keeps the number pad and low-profile keys that many trim compact keyboards drop. Customers across Nairobi report that a single nano receiver in one USB port replaces two tangled cords in minutes. Visit our Kimathi Street store to test the MK470, or order it with pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Logitech MK470 Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo
Is the Logitech MK470 good for a quiet office or shared workspace in Kenya?
Yes. The Logitech MK470 was built around near-silent operation. The keyboard uses low-profile scissor keys that press quietly, and Logitech's lab testing puts the mouse click at more than 90% quieter than the M170. In open-plan offices across Westlands, Upper Hill, and Nairobi CBD, that difference keeps calls and meetings free of background clatter. It also suits shared homes and hostel rooms where a roommate or family member is resting nearby while you keep working late.
How long does the Logitech MK470 battery actually last?
The keyboard runs up to 36 months and the mouse up to 18 months on the batteries that ship inside them. That means the Logitech MK470 keyboard can go roughly three years before a battery swap, and the mouse around a year and a half. An auto-sleep feature powers both down when idle to stretch that life further. For Kenyan users, this removes the weekly charging routine that cordless rechargeable sets demand. Two AAA cells and one AA cell are inexpensive and sold in every supermarket countrywide.
Does the Logitech MK470 work with my laptop, Windows PC, or Mac?
The Logitech MK470 works with any computer that has a free USB-A port, including Windows laptops, desktops, and Chromebooks. You plug the nano receiver into the USB slot and both devices connect within seconds, with no software install needed. The key layout is arranged for Windows, so it fits the widest range of machines used in Kenyan offices and schools. On a Mac the mouse and standard keys function, though a few function keys follow Windows labels rather than macOS shortcuts.
What is the difference between the MK470 and a Bluetooth keyboard?
The Logitech MK470 connects through a 2.4GHz USB nano receiver instead of Bluetooth. That matters in practice. There is no pairing menu, no dropped connection during boot-up, and it works on desktop PCs that lack built-in Bluetooth, common in many Kenyan office towers and cyber setups. The trade-off is that it needs one free USB port and does not switch between a phone and tablet the way Bluetooth does. For a fixed desk, the receiver approach connects faster and stays steadier.
Does the Logitech MK470 have a number pad for data entry?
Yes. Unlike most slim wireless keyboards that cut the number pad to save space, the Logitech MK470 keeps a full numeric keypad on the right side. This is a direct benefit for accountants, CPAs handling KRA submissions, bank tellers, data clerks, and shopkeepers running stock spreadsheets. Rapid figure entry stays fast because your hand rests on the dedicated number block rather than reaching across the top row. The keyboard also carries 12 function shortcuts for volume, media, and quick app access.
How far can I sit from my computer with the MK470 wireless connection?
The Logitech MK470 holds a reliable 2.4GHz link up to 10 meters, roughly 33 feet, from the nano receiver. Real-world range depends on walls and interference, so most users see steady performance across a normal desk or a small meeting room. For presentations, the keyboard and mouse still respond from across a boardroom in Nairobi CBD when the PC drives a projector or screen. Everyday desk use sits well within range, so the connection stays dependable for typing and cursor control.
Who should buy the Logitech MK470 at KSh 8,500?
The Logitech MK470 suits anyone who types daily and values a quiet, tidy desk on a modest budget. That includes university students at Strathmore, USIU, and the University of Nairobi, home-based freelancers, front-office staff, small business owners, and second-machine setups. Data-heavy roles benefit most from the number pad. Its slim pebble mouse also slides into a laptop bag, so remote workers moving between a home office and a co-working space in Kilimani carry one compact set instead of a full-size keyboard.
Is the Logitech MK470 worth KSh 8,500 in Kenya's market?
For a genuine Logitech wireless set with a number pad, quiet keys, and a three-year keyboard battery rating, KSh 8,500 lands well below most comparable bundles. Cheaper generic combos often skip the number pad, use louder keys, and ship weaker receivers that lose connection. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the MK470 pays back through years of quiet, cable-free use with no charging routine. At Mascom International you get a genuine unit, a 6-month warranty, and support from a real Nairobi CBD store.

What's in the Box
The Logitech MK470 retail package includes the slim wireless keyboard, the ambidextrous 3-button mouse, and the single 2.4GHz USB nano receiver that links both. Batteries come pre-installed: two AAA cells in the keyboard and one AA cell in the mouse, so the set works the moment you plug in the receiver. Logitech's user documentation and setup guide are also included. No charging cable is needed, since the MK470 runs on replaceable batteries rather than an internal rechargeable pack.

The Logitech MK470 Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Our Nairobi CBD service desk handles any warranty claim directly, so you deal with a real store rather than a distant call centre.
