About POP Icon Combo
The Logitech POP-Icon Combo is a stylish and compact set consisting of a mechanical keyboard and a wireless mouse, designed with a focus on personality and functionality. The keyboard has mechanical keys that provide a tactile typing experience and includes fun emoji hotkeys that can be customized to the user's preferences. The mouse is ergonomic and easy to navigate, and both devices connect wirelessly to both computer, tablet and phone via Bluetooth or Logi Bolt USB receiver. The set stands out with its eye-catching, colorful design that appeals to users who want to express themselves through their technology.
In the box with the Logitech POP-Icon Combo, you get a wireless POP keyboard with mechanical keys and customizable emoji hotkeys, as well as an ergonomic POP mouse that matches the keyboard's design. A Logi Bolt USB receiver is included for easy wireless connection to devices without Bluetooth. The batteries required for both keyboard (2 AAA) and mouse (1 AA) are also included, so you can get started right away. In addition, the package includes a user guide for setup and warranty information from Logitech.
The Logitech POP-Icon Combo stands out with its vibrant and unique design, aimed at those who want to express personality through their technology. The keyboard has a compact shape with round, retro-inspired keys reminiscent of a classic typewriter, giving it a playful and nostalgic touch. The colorful combinations in bright and eye-catching tones contribute to a modern look, while the emoji hotkeys add a fun and creative element. The mouse has an ergonomic and slim design that matches the color palette of the keyboard, and both devices are built to stand out in the workplace or at home with their stylish yet functional aesthetics.
The Logitech POP-Icon Combo differs from many modern keyboard and mouse sets by not requiring cables or charging. Instead, the keyboard uses two AAA batteries while the mouse is powered by a single AA battery, making the set incredibly flexible and portable. This battery-powered solution means you don't have to worry about charging the devices regularly, and Logitech promises long battery life, so you can use the set for months without changing batteries. The absence of cables also provides a cleaner and more minimalist workspace, and the wireless connection can either be achieved via Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt USB receiver.
To connect the keyboard and mouse, you can either use the included USB dongle or connect via Bluetooth. Both devices support up to three different profiles, making it possible to save connections to multiple devices. This gives you the flexibility to quickly switch between different devices, such as a computer, tablet or phone, without having to reconnect each time.
The base of the keyboard on the Logitech POP-Icon Combo is designed with a fixed and flat construction, which means that there is no possibility of height adjustment as seen on some other keyboards. This simple design maintains the keyboard's compact profile and makes it easy to place on any surface. Rubber feet on the bottom ensure that the keyboard is stable and does not slide around during use, even without the possibility of adjusting the angle. Although it lacks height adjustment features, the keyboard's ergonomic design is still comfortable for many users, especially for shorter typing tasks.
The test – Use and comfort
Normally, this part would involve me testing the keyboard in a few different scenarios, from office use, comfort and gaming. But since the keyboard, as such, is not aimed at the gamer, I want to focus on the other two areas.
I have therefore chosen to use the setup at my work computer, where I have used it for a long period of time. First of all, the comfort is a really good experience. It gives the feeling of sitting and typing on a keyboard on a laptop, but still where you get the freedom of an external keyboard. The size itself also makes it a set that can easily be taken with you, making it possible to work with it wherever you are sitting and not just at the desk.
Since the switches have the feel of a keyboard from a laptop. It was also a keyboard where I quickly got used to it and it felt very natural to use.
The size of the mouse itself makes it natural to use a claw or fingertip grip. It has a compact format, and again this also supports the fact that it is a set that has a minimalist look, and makes it easy to carry with you if you want to use it on the go.
Price
