Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a mouse for my Macbook that did not require me to plug in a dongle.Therefore, a bluetooth mouse was my obvious choice.I heard about this mouse some months before it was available for purchase.It has bluetooth and laser.I am glad I waited for this mouse - it is great.It does what a mouse should without having to fuss with it or deal with all kinds of uneeded "features".Logitech once again came up with a winner.

It was recognized easily by my Macbook and worked perfectly without having to tweak anything.Contrary to what some reviewers say about laser mice, this mouse is not too sensitive.Scrolling is smooth and accurate.There is a slight delay when the computer starts for bluetooth to recognize the mouse, but this is negligible.

There is an on-off switch to conserve the battery -- very nice!Also, it is white to match my Macbook.I have had this mouse about a week and have not discovered any negatives.I love it.

(More customer reviews)Unlike *all* the other manufacturers out there who seem to have been blind-sided by the advent of Windows Vista, this Bluetooth transceiver works right out of the box.

Just be aware that their in-box installation documentation needs to be updated and download their latest drivers from their web site.(Trust me, I have done a lot of research, and none of the other manufacturers have so much as Vista drivers!)

Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter (F8T012-1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am wondering how long it takes to get in the mindset of looking to see if devices are compatible with Vista BEFORE I buy them and try to install them??

Yes, I just recently got a Vista computer and am not used to it. Most of the programs play nice with Vista, but this one didn't... I tried installing it and ran into errors...it wasn't compatible. The installation finished anyway and I thought maybe it actually did work. I tried to connect to my bluetooth device (cell phone) and it did connect, but then it tried to install the drivers again (it must have bypassed them the first time) and it was pointless. I checked the website and, nope, no Vista drivers.

So now I have a useless $30 dongle and have to try and find one that will work with Vista.

HP iPAQ 4150 Pocket PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this IPAQ for several years now and it has more than served its purpose for me. Just recently however I wanted to add more memory to it and went to Staples to buy a 4 GIG SDHC. When I inserted the card into the unit,it still had the same amount of memory as before. (You can check this by clicking on SETTINGS/System/Memory and then click on STORAGE CARD.) So I called up HP and after they checked their records, they told me that that this unit can only take up to 512MB !! I was then put thru to their parts department and asked if they even made 512MB SD cards anymore. They said no they didn't, but that it could be specially ordered for only $228!! For that amount of money I could easily buy another unit, forget the card. I couldn't believe it. So I researched online and found a user who was using a 4 GIG SD card in his IPAQ 4150 with no problems. I read that since the Windows Mobile 2003 runs with FAT32, there should be no reason why it can't handle SD cards with 2 gig,4 gig, etc., when you need that extra memory. The only difference was that you have to use a NON SDHC card. The HC stands for High capacity which uses a different architecture. So, you have to use the standard 4 GIG SD card without the HC on the label. I ran back to Staples and found a 2 GIG standard SD card from SanDisk (they didn't have the higher 4 GIG on the shelf or I would've bought that one) for only $14.99 plus tax and when I inserted the card in the unit, it showed the increase in memory just fine! I wanted to pass this along so that you don't get discouraged when you need that extra amount of memory and are told that it can't be done. I'm still cringing at the thought of buying only 512 MB of memory for $228! It's unbelievable what people will try to con you into. In any case, this has nothing to do with the unit itself. I am now a very happy camper indeed!

Belkin Bluetooth PDA and PC Adapter Combo Card (F8T006-PC) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't do enough research on the product before I ordered it.It doesn't support the native Windows XP Blue Tooth drivers provided by Microsoft and the drivers provided by Belkin are not 100% compatible with some of the newer Bluetooth devices available.The only way to get it to work at all is to run the full install from the Belkin CD and it disables the Windows Bluetooth services and replaces them with Belkin services rather than just providing a driver that works with the native windows Bluetooth services.This is most likely because this device has been around since before Microsoft released support for Bluetooth technology.It would be nice if Belkin released an updated driver but they haven't..

Kensington SlimBlade Media Notebook Set with Wireless Keyboard, Laser Mouse, and Numeric Keypad (Graphite) K72279US Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This keyboard is great. For years I have been looking for a keyboard that would take up minimum space on my desk. I don't ever use a number pad, and don't use all the bells and whistles buttons that most keyboards have. With this one, I just don't attach the number pad and that gives it a small footprint and locates the mouse close to the keyboard. It's all very slick looking, has a nice weight that keeps it in place, and does not have the clickety clack feel or sound that other keyboards have. The mouse was a nice surprise, also with just that right feel and weight, and has a little trackball for scrolling that is easy to control. My computer is located in a compartment inside my desk, and the compact USB receiver sometimes did not connect. My Dell flat panel monitor has two USB connectors on the side, so I moved it there and it's fine. If I wanted to use the receiver installed inside the desk compartment, which I might still decide to do, I think I would try using a USB extension cable to get it in a better position to reliably maintain its connection. The pictures of it shown on the Amazon web site as well as the Kensington site are quite fuzzy, so I was wary that it might be typical of that creaky plastic construction of keyboards I've had in the past. I was pleasantly suprised how solid it is. Superb quality. (But, $$$. I guess you get what you pay for.)

Tenqa SP-109 Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was trying to find a quick speaker to use in my home gym to listen to the music on my iphone 4. This speaker works perfectly! The audio quality is great and is loud even over the sound of a treadmill, fan and large box fan! The speaker has its own volume control but you can still turn the volume up and down using the phone. It also has a great range, I walked out of the gym and up a floor and it never lost reception.

This was a GREAT find!

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been waiting for this keyboard since December.Microsoft has had problems in production and deadlines about this product.As of the day I write this, Microsoft's website "Press Pass" still publishes an article saying this keyboard and mouse set will be released "January 2007." That didn't happen.But it is here now and I'm not too impressed, even though I'm satisfied.
I was debating between getting this product and the Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard (these keyboards are media-centered keyboards, no numerical keypads in addition).I've used the diNovo Edge and I've liked it.I purchased this Microsoft product because it is both slightly cheaper and comes with a matching mouse.
The diNovo Edge has a lithium Ion battery and a recharging station which looks nice but is impractical because it stands the keyboard on an edge so that it cannot be used while charging (looks cool).This 7000 keyboard, however, is powered by 4 AA batteries, but this keyboard is just as slim and sleek as the diNovo keyboard.On another Microsoft webpage that profiles hardware like this, it is advertised that 4 AA batteries power this keyboard for "an average of over nine months."What is weird (and almost unnecessary) is to make the mouse (unlike the keyboard) come with a recharging base.It is as if Microsoft started with the newer (yet to be released) 8000 model of this keyboard/mouse set (which is going to cost more) and just started subtracting features.For example, whereas the diNovo and the 8000 model of this product have light-up features for dark room usage, this 7000 model does not.Also, the 800 comes with a hub that both the mouse and keyboard use instead of just a hub for the mouse (as in the 7000).
For me, I was disappointed when I started typing on this 7000 model keyboard because the key-depression sounds are as loud as my laptop or PC (some people however like a stronger physical and audible feedback from the keys as they type).diNovo has soft key-depression, and even though this 7000 model wasn't advertised with soft keys I hoped it was a basic feature.The Bluetooth technology works as expected.My favorite feature is the keyless Function buttons which can be redefined for your specific shortcuts.My mouse came with differing pressure levels for the right and left clicks and this has been irritating (the left-click is very sensitive).
In sum: the 7000 keyboard has a cheaper feel than the diNovo (mine is made of hard plastic and the diNovo is partly made of fiberglass); but I shook around this keyboard and pressed on its sides fairly hard: it's pretty durable.This is currently one of the most sophisticated keyboards on the market and it's the most Vista-ready keyboard currently.It's sleek, ergonomic, and rests no higher than your watch on the table.I'm satisfied.

Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So who spends almost $200 on a keyboard that doesn't even have a number pad? Well, I do...

If you are in the market for a good utilitarian cordless keyboard to use, this might not be the best choice. But if you like unique, stylish computer gear, that still works well, then this makes a nice addition to your desktop.Even if you don't get a chance to show it off to your friends, you'll enjoy looking at it sitting in its charging stand, or on your desk. It must hold a pretty good charge, because I've only charged it once in the month that I've had it. So if you're thinking the charger is too cumbersome to take with you on a trip, you don't have to worry about it; you won't need it. And at about 1/2" thick, it won't take up much space in your bag.

You could hook it up using the built-in bluetooth in your computer, but unless you're starved for USB ports, the receiver is about the size of a small flash drive (unlike the previous DiNovo Desktop). It connects instantly too, so you won't spend ages trying to figure out why it's not connected.

The trackpad is a small circlular affair, positioned off to the right, so you won't be constantly hitting it like the pads on most laptops. Only southpaw mousers will suffer from this layout. And scrolling with the pad works surprisingly well.

A few drawbacks are the lack of a number pad. You don't even get the typical fn + keys to enter numbers, which could have been easily included, but wasn't. And the fn key is to the right of the spacebar, which is opposite from what most people are used to using. Other than that you get a full set of keys (except the number pad). Plus nicely placed zoom buttons, volume control, and media keys, and a nice oversized delete key.

Keystrokes are short, but give reasonable tactile feedback. I'm not a very good typist, but I don't think those who are will find much to complain about.

And depending on your computer you can lay it right on top of laptop keyboard. Or use it from across the room.

I was worried that I would be sacrificing usability for style and looks, but it turned out not ot be the case.

I give the diNovo top marks in all respects. This is one of Logitech's success stories, unlike some of their products.

I'm very pleased with this purchase.

update 03/01/07 Since I just got a MacBook I thought I would update my review with some new info. Logitech does not support this keyboard for use with Macs (when you open Logitech Control Center, similar to Setpoint but for Macs), it won't recognize the keyboard. But that doesn't mean it won't work. Mac's bluetooth recognizes and pairs the kb instantly, and almost all functions work. What doesn't work is the set of buttons on the left (which I don't use anyway). And the fn+function keys don't work either as far as I can tell (the function keys themselves do work, and F12 works as an eject button for the DVD drive). But the mousepad works the same, as does the volume control, and the 'windows' key functions as the 'apple' key.

In addition, if you flip up the legs, the DiNovo will fit perfectly over a 17" MackBook Pro. So if you have a Mac and this keyboard, you won't have to put it aside till Logitach decides to support it.

I would also assume that third parties will come out with drivers or whatever might be needed to fill the void.

Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got the MK710 package and the keyboard is an MK700 keyboard with an M705 mouse. I just contacted logitech and they explained that the new MK710 uses an MK700 keyboard with unifying receiver support. The reason they explained that the MK710 box does not say MK700 on it because they already have a product floating around in stores called the MK700 without unifying receiver. They called it MK710 as a way to say it is an upgrade from MK700.

If you were to purchase the MK700 package and look under the keyboard it will say MK700 without the unifying receiver symbol printed on the back. The MK710 package has the MK700 keyboard with the unifying receiver symbol printed on the back of the keyboard.

This is a new keyboard with unifying receiver support. So don't think that the one you purchased is a different product because it is not.

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been a fan of Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combos for several years, and have owned nearly every new model they have come out with.My family has three computers, and all of them get used several hours a day, so I replace they keyboards and mice quite regularly.Logitech has always impressed me with their RF combo models, which have a great range and an extremely reliable signal.However, recently Logitech started dabbling with Bluetooth, and I have been disappointed with them for doing so.When the MX 5000 desktop combo was first released, I was quick to snag one immediately.It took me over two hours, and several reinstallations of the SetPoint software in order to get the combo to work.I encountered similar frustrations when I purchased the diNovo Laser combo for my wife's PC.Both of these keyboard/mouse combos use Bluetooth wireless to communicate with the PC, and both have proven to be extremely unreliable and frustrating to use.Many of the problems involved keystrokes not being recognized, sluggish mouse response, or even one of the devices losing connection entirely; requiring device reset or a complete reboot of the computer.I recently replaced both the MX 5000 and diNovo combos with Logitech's RF model MX 3200, which works flawlessly, and I swore that I would never buy a Bluetooth wireless desktop combo from Logitech again.Well, when I saw that Logitech was releasing a combo that offered the MX Revolution mouse, I just had to have it.You can imagine how disappointed I was to see that Logitech had decided to make this a Bluetooth set.Why would they do this?After all of the problems people have had with recent Bluetooth models, and all of the complaints that have been posted all over the net, I Should think that Logitech would have learned their lesson!Yet I had hope that maybe Logitech had learned from their mistakes and had improved the design and communication of this new model.I decided to order the MX 5500, as soon as it was released, and I have been using mine for the past few days.So far I am VERY impressed.

Installing the MX 5500 system was far better than my previous experience with Logitech Bluetooth combos.As recommended by Logitech, I first uninstalled my previous SetPoint installation and rebooted the computer.I still found that I had to use my MX 3200 keyboard and mouse to let logged into my computer, as Windows had still not detected the new Bluetooth dongle (included with the MX 5500) I had inserted into a USB port.Once I was logged into my Windows account it popped up a message saying that new hardware had been detected.Windows first sees it as a USB hub, and soon installs a two new HID devices, one for the keyboard and one for the mouse.I was then able to remove my 2.4GHz RF dongle for the MX 3200 combo, and my new MX 5500 was working just fine.This is BEFORE I reinstalled the SetPoint software!Logitech has found a way to pair the MX 5500 devices at the factory, to make it easier to install your new devices.This improvement alone won some big points with me.I then proceeded to install the included SetPoint 4.24 software, included with the MX 5500 combo.Installation was a breeze and a Bluetooth Connection Assistant soon popped up on the screen.It showed that the MX Revolution mouse was connected but that the keyboard was not.As the Connection Assistant suggested, I pushed the little red "Connect" button, located on the bottom of the keyboard, and was soon prompted to enter a 4-digit PIN number from the keyboard.After completing these simple steps my keyboard was successfully connected, and both the keyboard and mouse have remained connected every since.

I spent some time customizing the features of my new MX 5500, which can take a while since there are so many possibilities with this combo.The so-called backlit 2.95- x .79-inch LCD on the keyboard is very nice.This display can be toggled to several different modes, including time/date, media (shows artist name, song title, and progress bar), temperature, ABCD "favorites" key assignments, key counter, and e-mail inbox.Very impressive is the fact that the LCD updates quite quickly, when you receive a new e-mail or start playing a music track.This LCD also displays information like Caps Lock status, calculator, volume level, mute indicator, low battery warning, etc.The LCD is not really backlit, pers

Apple Wireless Keyboard (Retail Packaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased an iPad and it became pretty clear that if I wanted to use it for "intense" data entry, I would need a dedicated keyboard. I looked at the keyboard dock that the iPad plugs into, but it didn't really appeal to me--I don't necessarily want the iPad to be sitting up like that, or have to be sitting on a flat surface so that it doesn't fall over. I also liked that since this is a bluetooth keyboard, I can technically use it anywhere--with all my other computers, my media computer, etc.

When I first handled the keyboard, I was amazed at just how light this thing is. It barely feels like anything at all. But what is most impressive is that despite its light weight, it does not feel flimsy or weak at all. Trying to bend it with two hands does nothing--it is incredibly sturdy and solidly built.

Its size is also a huge plus--especially since I am looking at using this primarily on the go. It is about as small as a keyboard can be, without making the keys uncomfortably small. If you've ever typed on a MacBook Pro recently (the "chicklet" keys), it feels pretty much like that. Within minutes, I was finding it very easy to type without errors. (In fact, this review is being typed using the keyboard!)

The price could be lower, but honestly, I am very pleased with the feel of this keyboard and the ease of which it was to set up and begin using immediately. It doesn't feel like something you're worried about throwing into a bag and having it snap or crack, or keys pop off, etc.

Finally, if you are planning on buying this to use with an iPad, it works great with it. A lot of the "mac specific" keys work here too--the volume keys, brightness (which works across all apps, which is an added bonus), and of course the music controls work as well.

Apple Mac Mini MC270LL/A Desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've already put these new minis thru the paces here at Macminicolo and they're great. A few things to know:

-The RAM on these minis is VERY easy to upgrade. This machine comes with 2GB but can be upgraded to 8GB. Just twist off the bottom with your fingers and replace the RAM. (Literally, no tools required.)

- If you're looking to use the Mac mini connected to your TV, you'll be glad to hear that it now comes with HDMI. Nearly every current HDTV should have HDMI and it's a great fit.

- Speaking of TV watching, the new GPU (video card) is great. A wonderful upgrade.

- This Mac mini was reduced in power consumption AND the power brick is now internal instead of the big external one from before. That makes for a cleaner looking hookup.

- We use all our Mac minis as servers here and they're great. They run 24 hours a day and have no problems.

- This machine still has the IR capability so it can be controlled with the Apple Remote or one of the Harmony remotes with no problems.

All in all, a good upgrade.
