That’s one of the reasons I ended up sticking to manual selection, but that’s easy enough. I had problems with dropped connections during my fortnight using the MK850 as my main keyboard and mouse, and sometimes had to restart Bluetooth on my laptop to make the mouse recognise my system again.

So, all ingenious stuff, but don’t imagine it’s perfect. And you can link the keyboard too: it follows the mouse’s lead as to which device has the focus. This is one customisable mouseĪs if that wasn’t darn clever enough, you can even cut and paste between two computers. Now, if you enable Logitech Flow, you can switch from one computer to the other simply by swishing left or right – just like an extended desktop, the cursor will jump from one screen to another. Things get really clever once you install Logitech Options on said Mac and laptop. So, you could plug the supplied USB dongle in your Mac, say, and then use Bluetooth to pair with your Windows laptop and iOS tablet. Its key differentiator is that you can pair the MK850 with three separate computers at once.

As its £99 price hints, it’s aimed at serious users, but while other manufacturers justify their high prices with ergonomic designs or bags of features, Logitech offers both. The Logitech MK850 Performance is a curious wireless mouse and keyboard combo.
