Whether you’re seeking to improve your productivity while studying or for remote work, there are several Logitech devices that can help you. I managed to try the MX Anywhere 3S wireless Darkfield mouse, the K950 Signature Slim wireless keyboard, the Brio 100 Webcam and the Zone 300 Bluetooth wireless headset for a few days, and here’s my review.
The MX Anywhere 3S Darkfield mouse
Let’s start with the smallest accessory among the available Logitech wireless devices. The MX Anywhere 3S Darkfield mouse offers wireless connectivity of up to 10 metres. So there’s no need to worry about space or distance. Personally, the most impressive thing about this accessory is its sensor. It offers very precise tracking, regardless of the surface. With 8,000 dots per inch (dpi) sensor, the mouse even works on a glass surface. This makes it a valuable tool if you don’t always have a permanent desk setup at home. Students, who don’t always carry a mouse pad with them to the classroom, will appreciate this feature even more. No matter where you choose to use it, you will still enjoy great precision. Other features include an easy-to-use scroll wheel.
Thanks to its compatibility with the Logi Options+ App, you can customize buttons and adjust tracking speed. It’s even possible to manage multiple Bluetooth connections without having to configure it all over again. As for battery life, the built-in battery provides up to 70 days of use. You can also plug in the mouse and continue using it. This might not seem like an important feature, but it is not always available on other models. Moreover, plugging it in for one minute will provide you with an extra 3 hours of use. This is a particularly useful if you forget to charge it.
The K950 Signature Slim Wireless Keyboard
One of the best allies of a mouse is undoubtedly the keyboard. The K950 Signature Slim wireless keyboard offers a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad. Within a few seconds of trying it, you can tell that the keys are silent. No matter how fast you type, you won’t risk disturbing anyone. One of the things that impressed me the most was the ability to switch between three separate devices. In fact, using the Bluetooth connection, you can use the keyboard with several different types of devices. This can be useful if you use several computers or even a tablet. As for the battery, you can easily enjoy a maximum of 36 months of battery life. The device is also compatible with the Logi Options+ App, allowing you to customize your keys to suit your needs and create your own shortcuts.
The Brio 100 webcam
Having a good camera is an essential device for increasing your productivity. Whether you’re studying or participating in remote meetings, a good quality image is always a great feature. Logitech’s Brio 100 webcam meets most of today’s needs. With its two-megapixels fixed focus, it delivers a clear image. RightLight technology eliminates shadows and dark areas within the frame. Also, the fifty-eight-degree field of view offers clear visualization for video conferences and group meetings. You can bid goodbye to poor visual quality during your calls!
The built-in microphone will suit most individuals. However, it’s no substitute for an external microphone, and you’ll need to be in a fairly quiet room to ensure it does not pick up on any side or background noises. A built-in shutter also protects your privacy when you’re not using the webcam. As it connects via USB-A, this model is ready to use and requires no configuration or drivers. So, you can avoid the hassles of going though multiple configurations to ensure image clarity.
The Zone 300 Bluetooth wireless headset
If you’re looking for a versatile device, Logitech’s Zone 300 wireless headset is worth your attention. This model allows you to listen to your favorite music or chat with colleagues at the same time. Featuring a comfortable, classic design with padded headband and earpads, the headset is comfortable to wear just about anywhere. It can be taken across long distances, boasting a range of up to 30 meters. The unit features sound isolation and integrated 30 mm dynamic audio drivers with precision-tuned diaphragm and frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz.
I was pretty surprised by the sound quality of my calls during this review. This is all possible thanks to the dual beamforming microphones along with noise-cancelling algorithms. Your callers should therefore hear nothing but your voice. The rechargeable battery gives you up to 20 hours of listening time and 16 hours of talk time. You can also enjoy up to an hour of battery life with a five-minute quick charge.
