Logitech MK540 ADVANCED — Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo, Italian, Black
Unifying receiver8 shortcut keysSpill-resistant1000 dpi mouse
The Logitech MK540 ADVANCED (920-008679) is the office combo that gets bought by the dozen and then forgotten about, which is exactly the compliment it deserves. The K540 keyboard is full size with a numeric pad, adjustable tilt legs, eight shortcut keys for volume, media and applications, and a spill-resistant construction that survives the coffee that eventually arrives. The M310 mouse is a contoured, right-hand shape with 1000 dpi optical tracking and a soft rubber grip — a full-hand mouse rather than a travel one. Both run through a single Logitech Unifying receiver, so one dongle covers the pair. The keyboard measures 442 × 149 × 20.5 mm and weighs 550 g; the mouse is 105 × 68 × 39 mm and 100 g without its battery. In the box: keyboard, mouse, Unifying receiver, batteries and documentation.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Layout: Italian QWERTY keeps the QWERTY letters but adds accented vowels on dedicated keys and moves most symbols and brackets away from where a US or UK keyboard has them. Choose it only if you type in Italian; for English use in Cyprus ask us for the US or UK version of the same model. Both devices connect through the supplied Unifying receiver, which needs a free USB-A port — a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter or a dock. There is no Bluetooth: this set cannot be paired directly to a tablet or a phone. There is no backlight and no palm rest — if you want wrist support built in, the MK545 ADVANCED is the same idea with an attached rest. The mouse is a right-hand shape, so it does not suit a left-handed user. Logitech lists Windows, macOS and Chrome OS; the keys are labelled for Windows and Logitech Options is an optional download.
Best For
✓ Offices buying keyboard and mouse sets in quantity

✓ Anywhere a spilled drink is a realistic risk
✓ Sites already standardised on Logitech Unifying
Key Features
One receiver for the pair
Unifying pairs both devices to a single USB-A dongle and can take further Unifying devices later without another port.
Spill-resistant keyboard
The K540 is built to survive a knocked-over drink — the failure that ends most office keyboards.
Eight shortcut keys
Volume, playback and application shortcuts on dedicated keys rather than hidden behind an Fn combination.
A mouse for a whole hand
The M310 is a contoured, full-size shape with a soft grip and 1000 dpi tracking — comfortable for a working day rather than a laptop bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a palm rest?
No. For an attached palm rest choose the MK545 ADVANCED, which is otherwise the same idea.
Can I pair it with a tablet?
No. There is no Bluetooth on this set — it works only through the Unifying receiver in a USB-A port.
Is the mouse suitable for left-handed use?
No, the M310 is a right-hand contoured shape. Ask us and we will suggest an ambidextrous or left-handed wireless mouse.
Which layout is this part number?
This one is Italian. Logitech builds the MK540 in several national layouts under separate part numbers.
Singular Expert Insight
The MK540 is our default recommendation for offices replacing wired sets: nothing exotic, spill-resistant, and one dongle per desk. If wrist support is the priority step up to the MK545; if you need Bluetooth for a tablet as well, ask us for a Bluetooth set. See our
keyboards and
wireless mice.
