Review of Dell KM117 wireless keyboard and mouse combo
Delivery was fast. Received within a day even though estimate said later. The packaging was good. Contents were intact and there was no damage. Purchased it for Rs. 1281 from the Amazon seller “Appario Retail Private Ltd”. MRP on the box was Rs.1399. It was manufactured in China and imported for sale by Dell. Batteries are included in the box. I am happy to see Duracell batteries and not some local brand that might not last long. 2 AAA batteries for the keyboard. 1 AA battery for the mouse.
My initial impressions are it does not give a premium look and feel. However, it’s functional. Dimensions are a little big for my taste. I would have liked them a bit smaller. It’s a full keyboard with a number pad and arrow keys. Function keys are also present with some additional multimedia keys. the keyboard layout is in English. The mouse is a little noisy when clicking and scrolling. Precision is good. I am used to Logitech mouse which is much quieter compared to Dell. At this price range, it is a good deal. Tested all the keys to check for any manufacturing defects. Everything seems to be working fine. There is an on-off button on the mouse but there is no such option for the keyboard. So I am not sure how long the batteries will last for the keyboard. Better to keep a couple of AAA batteries handy just in case.
Keypress and travel are good. Distance between the keys is adequate. Keys are a little hard to press at first but I am getting used to it. There is not much delay from keypress to displaying text on the screen. Sometimes it is noticeable as I am used to a wired keyboard.
There are no LEDs on the keyboard for NUM lock and CAPS lock. There is one very small LED indicating a low battery.
I did not check the wireless range yet. Box says it should work up to 10 meters. We get a single unified nano USB receiver for both keyboard and mouse in the box. It’s small in size and will not protrude much outside the USB slot. I did not face any issue with the connection on my Win10 laptop. No additional drivers are needed. I was able to use both keyboard and mouse from the very instant the USB receiver was plugged in.
Verdict: I am happy with the performance of the Dell KM117 keyboard and mouse combo. I will definitely recommend it for people looking for a good wireless keyboard and mouse combo with good performance within budget.

Easy Installation
I am using this keyboard and mouse combo with my Macbook Air 10.13.6. I had to use an external keyboard as I extensively use a Numeric pad for my work. and due to the limited USB port, I specifically wanted a wireless keyboard and mouse. there is a single dongle for both keyboard and mouse. the pairing was a breeze and took me less than a minute. the mouse had reverse rolling on MacOs because of its inherent windows alignment. However, it can be corrected in setting and it’s working without a problem. just two issues with Keyboard. it is not backlit and it has not light for the Caps lock. other than these two issues I have no problem with this package. the key combination for MacOs will also get a day or two to get used to. After that, it’s much simpler to use. Would definitely recommend it.

Amazing wireless keyboard and mouse!
This is my second pair of the same wireless keyboard and mouse. I really like it!
The mouse fits perfectly in my large hands! It’s not tiny like some other wireless sets
The battery life is amazing! The keyboard battery lasted longer than 6 months with daily usage! Even the mouse battery life is pretty decent.
They both look premium and good quality products.
The range is sufficient for a slightly better than average distance.
You can always buy a USB extender for that if required!
Now for the bad things
The keys are a little hard to press. It takes a little time to get used to it. But they are comfortable. Good travel speed and once you get used to it, it starts feeling faster
Overall great product. Would surely recommend it to anyone wanting a good quality keyboard and mouse!

Satisfactory product
Friends, this is ready to use keyboard and mouse with a provided wireless adapter. I purchased it for use with my Samsung Tablet. The keyboard is fine and well laid out. It has though only one LED indicator and that too for low battery. You DO NOT get any indication for Caps Lock or Num Lock and this might be an issue while typing passwords. There is no physical key to switch off the keyboard and you might want to take out the batteries every time for saving them.
The mouse is a regular, lightweight mouse with two buttons and a scrollbar. The mouse has though an ON/OFF switch.
I read somewhere that the batteries on normal usage last till 1 year. However, I can’t corroborate it.
You get in the package two Duracell AAA batteries for the keyboard and one AA size battery for the mouse. In addition, a wireless USB adapter is also provided. With an OTG adapter(normally provided with mobile phones, as I got with my Samsung phone) you can even connect it to your mobile also. The mouse also works great on mobile.
Overall a good buy. Thx for reading.
Jai Hind!!!

Worth invest for regulars office and general use
Worth investment for regulars office and general use. have not tried gaming (don’t play it actually). Using for daily office work, normal tasks, browsing, etc., and don’t see any issue. Keyboard keys are silent (not pin drop but not problematic and is normal). The only thing I feel about mouse clicks are a bit noisy (yes they are not silent, if you want a silent one, go for Logitech or the other with almost double the cost). I was using the silent mouse earlier so initial this was a huge change for me but slowly got adjusted to it. can’t ask for more at this price. Keyboard keys are actually very good and are easy to touch (due to spaces between the keys)
LED light indicator is only for the low battery I guess, Haven’t seen it blinking so assuming as soon as the batteries are low, it will blink, can confirm only after seeing it.
Been using this for more than a month now and am satisfied.

Poor value for money, awful customer service by dell.
Pros:
- Smooth surface
- Almost silent typing
- Ergonomic mouse
Cons: [Note, I got warranty replacement in 3 months and the replaced item has the same issues as listed in the cons below, so they are standard lackings in the product]
- Battery Indicator never works – it is a mere gimmick
- The absence of the Indicators for Num Lock, Function Key Lock, Scroll Lock is more inconvenient than I thought. Makes case change typing really complicated. Very unpractical.
- Both the original mouse and the second mouse went nuts after few weeks of use. They become hard to click causing RSI conditions for users.
- Keyboard batteries do not last beyond 2 months even on moderate use of 2-3 hours typing a day.
- Dell does not have straightforward customer service for peripherals which made customer service experience a nightmare during warranty replacements.
Overall rating: Poor value for money

This Keyboard is for “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones. Not for Regular Size hands.
This keyboard is BIG. And impacts my typing speed. I can’t reach my speed of 85 WPM because of the extra big size of the keys and their alignment. The keys are not properly aligned.. they are stretched a few millimeters than the standard keyboard.
Every time I use the ALT function, I accidentally touch windows keys. This Keyboard is for HUGE people like Sir Gregor Clegane = The Mountain from Game of Thrones.
Don’t buy it if you are among the humans that can be classified under the normal category.
Very Disappointed. I doubt this is an original or Fake product. Is this actually from DELL, because other Dell keyboards are absolutely perfect for me :/

Worst product. keys stopped working after 3 months.
I bought this product in March-2020. I’m writing this review after 3 months of usage. Within 3 months keyboard started giving problems. Function keys are not working (F10 & F11). I’m a techie and use these Function keys as shortcuts for my development work. Also, the mouse seems to be a power-hungry device. within 3 months “Duracell ultra alkaline battery” got emptied. I don’t know when both will stop working. I trusted Dell brand and Amazon, but both ditched me.

Not for professionals
If you are a serious type, then this keyboard is not for you.
I use a mechanical keyboard all the time, I had to buy a keyboard immediately so I choose this one. It was a very bad decision. I’m a software developer, Keyboard is a big part of my day-to-day job. This keyboard is causing nothing but pain for me. a lot of keypresses are not getting register. Keys are very hard. I’m making a lot of typos due to this keyboard. I have tried other rubber keyboards as well but this one is very very bad

DO NOT TYPE. PUNCH THE KEYS
The name DELL sounded good enough to buy the product. Using it was never easy. I have lots of DELL products from the USA but this is the first time I am buying from DELL INDIA. Threw the keyboard out yesterday and got myself another one from Logitech. The keys in DELL were not a soft touch and when you are typing fast, at least 50% of the letters will not show up on the screen. I had to keep punching in (and not typing) so as to not miss any letter.
Definitely not worth the price. If you are thinking to buy this, I would say, think again. There are lot better products out there.
