Logitech Is Born To Be Wired With New Signature Slim Wired Combo Keyboard And Mouse

Forbes04-06-2025

With more people returning to the workplace for at least part of the week, some companies are looking to refresh their IT systems. Instead of replacing entire computers that haven't been used a great deal, some companies are investing in new mice, keyboards and screens to give things a facelift.
Logitech has announced the launch of its Signature Slim Wired MK620 and MK625 Combo for Business. Consisting of a revamped keyboard and mouse package, the Combo is designed for companies and industries that prefer to use wired peripherals for reasons of reliability and physical security in shared workspaces.
The keyboard and mouse combo can easily switch between Windows PCs, macOS and ChromeOS devices, making the setup suitable for people working in shared spaces with desktop computers or where people bring their laptop but need an external screen, keyboard and mouse.
Launching a wired mouse and keyboard may seem a little counterintuitive in this age of wireless peripherals, but there is plenty of logic behind Logitech's position. Indeed, many workplaces have compelling reasons not to use wireless devices and don't want to cut the cord.
For example, on financial trading floors, the physical security of devices is vital and the keyboard must be instantly responsive. In medical settings, something like a flat battery in a wireless keyboard or mouse can hinder the input of test results, especially in critical situations. Meanwhile, in schools, colleges and shared workspaces, wired keyboards tend to be stolen far less often.
'Workers in these industries deserve the same modern experience typically seen in wireless tech,' says Henry Levak, VP of Product, Logitech for Business. 'Signature Slim Wired Combo MK620 rewrites the old-school perception of wired devices. It's the end of wired as we know it; time to introduce upgraded performance and customization in a wired model designed for the critical needs of government, banking, healthcare, and shared public spaces.'
This latest addition to Logitech's Signature Slim family includes the Signature Slim Wired MK620 for Business keyboard that offers a similar feel to a laptop-style keyboard that many people are used to using. The keyboard has a dedicated AI Launch Key with instant access to Microsoft's Copilot for Windows or Gemini for ChromeOS. The keyboard can also be customized to launch other AI tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity.
For users of meeting software like Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, the new keyboard has shortcuts that can be configured using the Logi Tune software for creating handy actions like muting a microphone, turning off a webcam or sharing a screen with a single keystroke.
The new keyboard comes with the Signature Wired M520 or M520 L for Business mouse. The ambidextrous rodent can be used by left-handed and right-handed people, plus it has an adjustable cursor speed.
With a flick of the mouse's SmartWheel, users can activate super-fast scrolling that can race through lengthy web pages or large spreadsheets. Alternatively, users can scroll documents line-by-line with Silent Touch technology that reduces 90% of the mouse's clicking noises.
While employees might not appreciate coming back to the office, finding a brand-new and up-to-date keyboard and mouse could ease the pain a little. Logitech thinks IT teams will also appreciate how easy it is to deploy en masse. The Signature Slim Wired Combo MK620 has a switch for IT and employees to easily toggle between Windows, MacOS, and ChromeOS.
IT departments can plug the keyboard and mouse into USB-C ports and then choose the operating system they want and deploy multiple devices across the company. The status of the mouse and keyboard can be checked with Logitech's Sync portal and tap into global support when needed.
Because wired devices don't require any batteries or recharging, less maintenance is required. This makes connectivity more reliable and there's also less risk of the devices being stolen. The upshot is fewer support calls and help desk tickets.
As a company originating in Switzerland, Logitech is hot on sustainability and the Signature Slim Wired Combo MK620 is no exception. Both devices are made with plastic parts containing a minimum of 66% post-consumer recycled material and they are shipped in paper packaging from FSC-certified forests and other controlled sources.
The keyboard plate is made with low-carbon aluminum and the MK620 combo improves power efficiency by consuming 49% less energy on the keyboard and 50% less on the mouse than its predecessor, the MK120 wired combo.
The Logitech Signature Slim Wired Combo MK620 & MK625 for Business will be available globally from June 27 and priced at $69.99. The K620 keyboard is available separately for $49.99, while the M520 and M520 L mice sell for $24.99. All products are available from logitech.com and through authorized resellers.
