Lenovo Essential Wired Combo — Keyboard and Mouse Set, German, Black
Quiet membrane keysCopilot key1600 dpi mousePlug and play
The Lenovo Essential Wired Combo (4X31R64414) is the set Lenovo ships alongside its business desktops: black, plain, quiet and completely unremarkable in the way an office keyboard should be. The keyboard is a full-size 2.5-zone layout with an integrated number pad, quiet membrane keys and a water-resistant membrane that handles accidental spills, plus a dedicated Copilot key for the Windows assistant. The mouse is a full-size ergonomic shape with a 1600 dpi optical sensor — higher than the 1000 dpi that comes with most bundled sets, which is noticeable on a large screen. Both are wired over USB, so there is nothing to charge, nothing to pair and nothing to lose. In the box: keyboard, mouse and documentation.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Layout: German QWERTZ swaps Y and Z, puts Ü, Ö, Ä and ß on dedicated keys and moves most symbols and brackets compared with a US or UK keyboard. Choose it only if you type in German; for English use in Cyprus ask us for the US or UK version of the same model. This is a wired USB set: nothing to pair, and it works in the BIOS and in boot menus. There is no wireless option, no backlight and no palm rest. Lenovo does not publish a key count, dimensions, weights, a cable length, an operating-system list or a warranty term for this part number — its PSREF entry still reads "Tech Specs coming soon" — so those rows are left out here rather than guessed. If the cable length or the warranty decides your purchase, ask us and we will confirm with Lenovo before you order. Lenovo describes the membrane as water resistant and able to handle accidental spills, but publishes no IP rating, so treat it as protection against an accident rather than a washable keyboard.
Best For
✓ Offices buying wired sets alongside Lenovo desktops
✓ Machines that need keyboard access before Windows loads
✓ Shared and public workstations
✓ Quiet rooms where key noise is a complaint
✓ New Windows fleets that want a Copilot key on every desk
✓ Data entry, thanks to the integrated number pad
Key Features
Quiet by design
Membrane keys tuned to be quiet rather than clicky — the reason this set turns up in open-plan offices and call centres.
Copilot key
A dedicated key for the Windows assistant, increasingly a line item on new fleet specifications.
1600 dpi mouse
Higher tracking resolution than the 1000 dpi mice bundled with most sets, which matters on a large or high-resolution screen.
Spill-tolerant membrane
Lenovo builds the membrane to handle an accidental spill — the failure that ends most office keyboards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "2.5-zone" mean?
It is the industry term for a full keyboard whose number pad is slightly compressed rather than sitting in a fully separate third zone — it keeps the numpad while saving width. Lenovo uses the term but does not define it on the page.
Does it work before Windows loads?
Yes. It is a wired USB set, so it is available in the BIOS and in boot menus.
Why are there no dimensions or a warranty term?
Lenovo has not published them for this part number yet — its own PSREF page still says "Tech Specs coming soon". We would rather leave the rows out than invent them.
Which layout is this part number?
This one is German. Lenovo builds the Essential Wired Combo in other layouts under separate part numbers — tell us which you need.
Singular Expert Insight
This is a fleet set: buy it because everything else on the desk is Lenovo and you want one part number for forty machines. If the user cares about the feel, a CHERRY STREAM or an HP 225 gives a better key stroke for similar money. See our

wireless mice.
