The full size keyboard in this bundle rarely goes on a deal. Most of the time when you see a deal is your the "mini" version of this keyboard. So this is a pretty good deal if you prefer a full size keyboard.
The palm rest, in my honest opinion, is not the best. But if it's free/cheap it's not bad.

Had some readjusting to get used to, the keyboard works well enough but I hate the position of the Lock Screen button to the top right of the number pad because when I move the keyboard, it sometimes presses it. Also the F12 key isn't above the backspace, it's a add volume button instead.
The keyboard feels very sturdy though.

Why? The Bolt receiver technology is better in every way. For instance much lower latency, more reliable connection, and encrypted connection so it can't be hacked.
For office use it's worth suffering the small latency to have a single dongle.
Makes laptop and accessories easier to take back and forth to work and use in meeting rooms etc.
The sensor on the g502 is much better than the one found on the mx master and tracks better at lower speeds. However, the mx master will track on glass if that's important to you. I personally found the size and shape of the g502 to be better for me personally but it does come down to personal preference. I found the mx master would bother my wrist after a while, and the more accurate low speed tracking of the g502's Hero sensor worked better for editing documents for my job. Lastly, the g502 has onboard memory so you do not need software running to change the DPI, button assignments, etc. That's a huge one for me since I am not allowed to run software on my work laptop. My 2 cents.
If you want to use the Master 3S mouse (silent clicks, Bolt receiver) *and* use just one dongle for both mouse and keyboard, then you need to buy the MX Keys S. This is because the Bolt dongle won't work with a Unifying receiver device.
I have the Keys and Master 3 combo. Bought the Master 3S for the silent clicks and ended up buying a Keys S to stay on one dongle. All that was totally worth it for the silent clicks.

You can easily remap the keys to be whatever you want

Bolt can connect multiple devices to a single dongle. I have this setup and use the keyboard and mouse with a single bolt dongle on 3 different computers (2 PCs and 1 Mac). I mean, yeah, bolt and unifying devices are not compatible, but you are wrong that you need multiple dongles for bolt devices.
