Dell Premier Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Review
Ғылым және технология
The Dell KM717 may be the best wireless keyboard and mouse combo I have ever used. The premium build quality and killer features separate it from the pack.

Thanks for the review. I recently switched desktops to a Lenovo 510. Great desktop but the included K/M was wired and I prefer a wireless setup. I was previously using a Surface Pro with docking station and the MS Surface Keyboard and Mouse. The were both really nice but due to the BT connection, the keyboard would sometimes drop strokes. I ordered the Lenovo 500 pair and the day it came in, I found your video. Given your excellent review, (and the keyboards similarities to the MS Surface keyboard) I ordered it from Amazon ($77) and was able to return the Lenovo 500. Well it's been a week with the Dell and I have to say you were spot on! This is one of the best keyboards I have ever used. The travel is perfect and the extra added bonus of being able to be connected the 3 separate machines without a KVM is awesome. Once again many thanks for the review. You did good!
Your setup is badass! Very fancy and elegant. Thank you for the 5-star no BS review too!

Thanks, my updated setup tour comes out this Sat at 10:30am. Look out for it
Thank you for the review. How would you compare this with a ThinkPad laptop keyboard, or maybe with an Anker Compact Bluetooth one?
I have an HP Zbook G3 and I love its keyboard. The tactile feeling and how it is absolutely silent. I want a similar for my desktop, how does this Dell keyboard compare to that other?
I would like to see a tkl version
I love the KM714 mouse/keyboard combo. Especially the keyboard. It's sturdy, quite and very stable (doesn't move when you type). Is this one similar in feel?
does anyone know if you can connect the mouse and keyboard to an ipad?
Thanks or the video. I love this combo I do have it but just 1 problem I use it in USB mode on Win10 Desktop PC and tried it on Win7 on a laptop. But the Caps Lock Light and the Num Lock light go to sleep after about 7 SECONDS. Very annoying because you can't tell whether the Caps &/or Num lock is on or off. Do you get the same results? I rang Dell about this and they had no workable answer. But I did find something about a setting in control panel in HID devices to disable the power saving mode on the device... but it made no difference. Any tips greatly appreciated.
I was HIGHLY skeptical but I used your link and purchased myself a set. I am super impressed by both...perfect for using on my workbench and switching between PCs. The typing is amazing on this...I have bad hand and it is getting painful for me to use Mech keyboards (which I love) but this is just fantastic! Thanks for the recommend!

Nicely done review Jay, thanks! (typed on a new KM717)
Hi! So this video is 4 years ago.. Just want to know is that keyboard and mouse still working well with no problems at all? Thank you.
Hi ! How its compare to Microsoft Surface Keyboard ?
Great review. Far more meaningful than others.
Does this KM717 caps lock and num lock indicators turns off after 5 second? Bczz mine wireless keyboard and mouse KM7321W turns off the indicator light after 5 second when ever I turn it on.
how far away can you use the keyboard & mouse from your device?
What is the point of the backlight? Are you working in the dark?
Have You got Something wireless for gaming (cheap)?
Hello, which keyboard would you recommend as alternative for this one if i need a backlight?
Great review thanks! About to order one, just curious how are you getting on with the mouse?

Hi just wanted to know if you hit the F5 key on this keyboard does it refresh? I brought a similar keyboard but it was a multimedia keyboard and the F5 key did not refresh when I hit it.
How does this compare to HP Spectre 1000 or Microsoft Surface Keyboard?
Could you tell me why you are not using the mouse anymore. I am considering buying the KM717 as they have a sale right now. Thanks.
friend this keyboard is perfect for me but more reduced not so long shorter you know what they are called?
Apply magic keyboard has the best scissor switch mechanism I have seen. Does anyone know how these keys compare to that?
Does this keyboard not last longer then 12 months? You sate it is rated to last 12 months?
Awesome review, thanks Jay. I've been on the fence about getting this keyboard to replace the wired mouse and keyboard that came with my Dell XPS. Your review helped push me over the top. Thanks again.

Looks nice, they should release a tenkeyless version without the mouse. I use a dinovo edge and g700s. I really like these quieter keyboards over mechs.
Do you know if this is compatible with mac?
Does this product support linux? thank you
I purchased this keyboard and mouse set and after a few months usage I started to experience very bad issues with the signal. The keyboard input was fine and then suddenly stopped communicating with the PC, typing lots of repeated characters upon reconnection. Could not find a solution. The mouse worked fine, but started squeaking badly after a few months of use. I RMAd both and still looking for something with the same typing feel. Just skeptical to spend 90+$ (EU price) for this set again...

Very nice review. Just bought it.
How is the actuation pressure? I have the MS Surface keyboard, and the actuation point is borderline mushy. It's okay, but if it was any less, I'd probably return it.

I have a Surface Book 2 as well. This keyboard is a little more direct and has a satisfying "hump" at actuation. While I actually really like the keyboard on my SB2, the typing feel of this keyboard is unquestionably better.

I got the keyboard and mouse combo after watching this review. It worked fine for few days then bluetooth 2 stopped working completely. I ordered form amazon, so got the replacement. Guess what, same issue in this on after few day. I tried researching if I did something wrong and turned out this same issue where one of the bluetooth function stops working, is faced by many. There are huge complaint about this same issue and yet no solution. Try google "KM717 bluetooth keyboard won't go into pairing mode"
have you had any luck pairing the keyboard to a Mac via bluetooth? I get to the part to enter number on keyboard but nothing happens. Thanks!

thanks for the review. I bought the product. I really enjoy the keyboard. For the price, it should have come with backlighting. The mouse is not ergonomic or comfortable at all to me. I like the minimalist look to the mouse but it's too flat and hurts my wrist after a while. Anyway thanks again and take care
Very nice review. Thank you.
wish this keyboard had esc and f1-f12 keys in right place and size. some dumb forward button where f12 should be is a big no-no for web development.

@@Tekeverything no problem. Was just hopeful. I couldn't find a good review on it, let alone a comparison between the km717 and 7120. Even Dell couldn't really tell me the difference lol
Does the keyboard have mechanical keys?
Does it works with a Mac?
A premiere keyboard without backlight? :( Love the hardware swich though. Can't be doing with software bluetooth device switches...
That was a rather good review and your enunciation is good which is something I like, thanks, thumbs up for this video.
I've had thoughts of getting a new keyboard/mouse combo, and just saw the advertisement for the Logitech MK470. However, that doesn't appear to be available yet in the U.S. Also, i'm not super crazy about Logitech's drivers and software, given it's failed me a few times. With that said, I forgot about this combo from Dell, and the KM717 definitely looks worth the investment, so I think I'm going to spend some hard-earned money grabbing this Keyboard/Mouse combo in the coming weeks. Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated!

It is fine for casual games, I wouldn't use it for competitive play though. It definitely wasn't designed for that.
This is the Keyboard version of the MX Master 2S. It has very similar features and the color even matches.
@michaelxz1305
5 жыл бұрын
maybe visually - but the MX Master 2S is the best mouse on the market (if you're not a gamer)... best keyboard has to be mechanical, those new short profile switches like in the upcoming corsair keyboards look great. I have short profile mechanical in my gaming laptop and it is the best notebook keyboard I've ever used by miles. So I think these short profile wireless mechanical keyboards will be great. I had a rapoo keyboard that looked similar to this dell one, it was very sleek but still can't compare to mechanical ones. Of course all this only matters if you type a lot.
How do you adjust screen brightness on this keyboard ?

It doesn't have built in controls for that
This review was so glowing that it blew out my budget for a keyboard and mouse by almost 100%. Happily, everything you said about it is true. It is a great keyboard to type on, and the mouse surprised me by gliding over my mousepad with very little resistance given how small the contact patches are. I find the keys are a touch closer together than on my Logitech keyboard, so a small degree of learning is necessary. The only thing I miss is the backlighitng on the old keyboard, but this is so superior in every other way that I am delighted with my purchase. Thanks for a terrific and accurate review.

You can pick up rechargeable AAA batteries anytime if you like to have that feature in the keyboard/mouse. 6 pieces will cost around 15$ and you will always have a full spare pair.

Thanks - just what I needed to watch. I just ordered the Dell XPS touchscreen and this is the set that comes with it. I was worried it was going to be "cheap." Not the case at all I see. Just hope I like the mouse too. I have been using the HP wireless elite v2 for years now.. Not as fancy, $69 for the set.. but have loved it and am used to the mouse.
