Quick answer
Choose the Slim LX3 Wired Keyboard for a straightforward, full-size wired keyboard with a numeric keypad. Choose the Slim CLX3 Wired Combo if you also need a mouse and prefer a complete desktop set.
What each option offers
Both the Slim LX3 Wired Keyboard and the Slim CLX3 Wired Combo share a full-size layout with a numeric keypad and navigation keys. They also use a USB-C wired connection with an integrated USB-A adapter for plug-and-play setup on macOS, Windows, ChromeOS, and iPadOS. The main difference is that the CLX3 comes as a combo that includes a mouse with quiet clicks and a precision scroll wheel, while the LX3 is a standalone keyboard.
The trade-off: standalone keyboard vs. combo set
If you already have a preferred mouse or want to save a few dollars, the Slim LX3 is the more economical choice. If you need a mouse and want a matching set with consistent design, the Slim CLX3 Combo adds a mouse for a modest price increase. The CLX3's mouse offers quiet clicks and a precision scroll wheel, which can be a plus for shared or quiet office environments.
