Rating - 3.5/5Wireless peripherals are no longer just about cutting cords—they're about delivering seamless connectivity, ergonomic design, and long-lasting battery life. The Alogic USB-C Rechargeable Wireless Mouse & Keyboard combo aims to check all those boxes while offering a premium feel. With a price tag of Rs 6,990, this combo is designed as an ideal upgrade for professionals seeking a sleek, minimalist desk setup that delivers high performance without sacrificing style.. But does it justify the price tag? Let’s find out.
Alogic USB-C wireless keyboard: Design and performance
At first glance, the keyboard boasts a slim and compact layout, making it an excellent option for those who prefer a clutter-free desk. The keys are well-spaced, reducing the likelihood of mistypes, which is particularly useful for fast typists. Unlike many budget keyboards, the keycaps have a soft matte texture that enhances grip, preventing fingers from slipping.
During daily use, the typing experience is satisfying. The keys are clicky and manage to offer a distinct feel when pressed, making them comfortable for prolonged typing sessions. The key travel is moderate—not too shallow, like Apple’s Magic Keyboard, yet not as deep as a full mechanical setup. This middle ground makes it ideal for long hours of work without fatigue.
The key presses are not as silent as one might prefer, but they are far from overly loud. There’s no annoying clatter, allowing you to focus without distracting yourself or those around you.
The full-size layout features a dedicated number pad, making it ideal for spreadsheet users and frequent number crunchers. While it may take some time to get used to the keyboard, once you do, it feels natural and effortless to use.
Functionally, the keyboard integrates shortcut keys for volume control, brightness, and media playback, making it convenient for users who frequently switch between tasks. The keyboard includes dedicated keys for Windows Lock, Home, Calculator, and other essential functions, adding convenience for everyday tasks. Other shortcuts on the Echelon keyboard include one-touch Cut, Copy, and Paste keys above the Numpad—ideal for number crunching. It also offers OS-specific shortcuts for quick access to Email, Calculator, and Search.
The USB-C rechargeable battery is a notable upgrade over traditional battery-operated keyboards, reducing the hassle of frequent replacements.
The keyboard features LED indicators on the top right for Caps Lock, Bluetooth pairing, and charging status. These indicators provide quick visual feedback, ensuring you’re always aware of the keyboard's connectivity and battery levels. The Caps Lock indicator is especially useful for preventing accidental typing errors, though it would have been even more convenient if it were placed directly on the Caps Lock key. The Bluetooth pairing LED simplifies the connection process. The charging indicator helps you keep track of the battery status, so you’re never caught off guard with a drained keyboard.
Alogic USB-C wireless mouse: Design and performance
The accompanying wireless mouse follows a low-profile, ambidextrous design, making it suitable for both right and left-handed users. It fits well in hand, but those accustomed to ergonomic mice with deeper curves may find it slightly flat. The left and right buttons offer responsive clicks, requiring minimal pressure. This makes prolonged use comfortable, though users who prefer a more pronounced tactile feel might wish for firmer resistance. The scroll wheel is smooth, allowing effortless navigation through long documents or webpages without excessive resistance.
One of its standout features is its quiet clicking mechanism, making it an excellent choice for offices, libraries, or late-night work sessions. The tracking performance is precise, with no noticeable lag when moving between applications or editing documents.
The mouse doesn’t offer built-in sensitivity adjustment, which might be a drawback for those who prefer fine-tuning their cursor speed. However, for everyday tasks like browsing, document editing, and even some light design work, the default setting feels well-balanced and responsive.
Verdict
Alogic USB-C Rechargeable Wireless Mouse & Keyboard combo delivers a solid wireless experience with a premium build, thoughtful design, and convenient rechargeable batteries. The keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience with well-spaced keys, handy shortcuts, and LED indicators that enhance usability. Meanwhile, the mouse is sleek, quiet, and responsive, though it lacks sensitivity adjustment.
At Rs 6,990, this combo is best suited for professionals seeking a clean, efficient workspace without the hassle of cables. While it may not cater to hardcore gamers or those looking for extensive customization, it ticks all the right boxes for office and home users who prioritize comfort, functionality, and a clutter-free desk.
