Logitech has expanded its visually distinctive POP series with the launch of the Logitech POP Icon Combo. We’ve had the opportunity to evaluate this combo, which features a stylish keyboard equipped with four customizable action keys, a dual layout compatible with both Windows and Mac, a matching mouse, and a selection of four appealing color options. The combo offers full integration with Logi Flow and is configurable via Logi Options+.
The compact size of the POP Icon Combo makes it a suitable choice for mobile use, while also being perfectly functional as a desktop setup. The absence of a dedicated numeric keypad might be a consideration for users who frequently work with spreadsheets. However, the keyboard’s typing experience compensates for its reduced width. We will elaborate on this further.
Further enhancing its portability, the Logi Bolt receiver benefits from a small storage compartment adjacent to the battery compartment. Unlike many contemporary keyboards, the POP Icon Keyboard is powered by two pre-installed AAA batteries. While the absence of key backlighting is a drawback for some, it contributes to an impressive battery life of approximately 3 years. While backlighting might have been preferred, the extended battery life is a notable advantage. Both the mouse and keyboard connect via Logi Bolt or Bluetooth, ensuring versatile connectivity. In many respects, the Logitech POP Icon Combo is a competent performer, although its aesthetic is less striking compared to the Logitech POP Keys.
First Impression: POP Icon Keyboard
The immediate impression when using the keyboard is the comfortable typing experience. The keys offer a pleasant feel, allowing for effortless and accurate input. The keyboard also operates quietly, which is advantageous in shared workspaces, meetings, or open-plan offices. The four customizable action buttons, configurable via Logi Options+, offer a wide range of programmable functions. The POP Icon series emphasizes adding a touch of personality and efficiency to the user’s workspace, with four color variants available.
First Impression: POP Icon Mouse
Complementing the keyboard’s portability, the POP Icon Mouse is particularly well-suited for travel. Its compact design makes it ideal for users with smaller hands. Users accustomed to larger mice, such as the MX Master 3S, may find the POP Icon Mouse less suitable for daily use but appreciate its convenience for travel and occasional use. The mouse operates almost silently. The near-silent operation creates a unique user experience. The mouse also integrates seamlessly with Logi Flow, further enhancing its usability.
Conclusion: Logitech POP Icon Combo
The Logitech POP Icon Combo introduces a range of vibrant color options to the desktop. Priced at 899 kronor, the combo offers good value for its features. The keyboard’s comfortable typing experience is a particularly strong point. The customizable action buttons provide a useful addition, allowing users to optimize their workflow. While the mouse is well-suited as a travel companion, users with larger hands may prefer to reserve it for mobile use. Overall, the Logitech POP Icon Combo is a competent keyboard and mouse set enhanced by its smart keys. Its focused functionality makes it an excellent tool for typing-intensive tasks.
As we noted in our review of the Motorola Edge 50 Neo, a touch of color can significantly enhance the aesthetics of typical workspaces. The Logitech POP Icon Combo effectively fulfills this role!
