Logitech MX 610 Cordless Laser Mouse (931350-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, I've seen a lot of complaints about the Email and IM buttons on the MX 610.First, I don't see how these buttons should make it or break it for you anyway.If you're looking for a reliable mouse with lots of customization options, then you shouldn't even care about the Email and IM buttons.But, if you are concerned, as some seem to be, then simply download the latest driver, restart your computer and everything should work just fine...that's what I experience anyway.I own my own business and constantly receive email.Let me tell you, the flashing email indicator is a nuisance that I quickly shut off the option and recustomized the button to do something more productive.

I also want to correct another complaint.Someone mentioned you can't customize the Email and IM buttons - that's completely false.You can customize ALL 12-buttons - that's a FACT!

Ok, here's why I gave this mouse 5-stars.The ergonomics of the MX 610 should be the standard for all right-handed mice, it just feels natural in your hand.The weight with the AA batteries installed gives it a solid feel. 12-button customization makes my computer tasks so much faster and simpler.I do a lot of copy/pasting, minimizing/switching multiple windows, referencing key websites, and the MX 610 does it all!I use 2 easy to reach buttons for the copy/paste features, I use the middle wheel button to minimize my windows, I use the left/right motion of the center wheel for switching windows quickly, and even have a button that pulls up a customized window (that I created with the included software) that I can select programs and websites from!Anyone that gives the MX 610 a low score is simply not using this mouse for productive purposes, or simply doesn't understand how to customize it to fit your needs and style.

One last thing: I have a lot of wireless products nearby and this mouse hasn't hickuped yet.The wireless technology in the MX 610 is superior and I can see why Logitech focuses it's media attention on it.

Logitech diNovo Cordless Desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this cordless set for several days now. Here are my thoughts:

First the bad news. There could be better quality control on this. The first unit I purchased had a right-arrow key that would not work properly (all other keys worked fine). Another reviewer of this model here said that the space bar did not work properly on their unit. I liked everything else so much, I returned mine and got another unit, which is now working properly. The only other negatives I can mention are: (a) the temperature on the numeric keypad ALWAYS reads 77 degrees; (b) the Media key on the numeric keypad always seems to launch the default media player, no matter what I set it to (the media key on the full keyboard works fine).

Now the good news. I love the sleek look and modular design of this set, and it happens to match my HP Pavillion Notebook perfectly. I love the small USB receiver. I love the profile and tactile feel of the flat keyboard. I love the features that let you use this both on a desktop (in my case a docking station) or on the road with your laptop. The mouse is the least sexy of the three main parts, but nevertheless works well and the off switch is a nice feature; its main appeal is that it can be used on the desktop and as a portable laptop mouse. The wireless USB reciever, while small (a good thing), still has a very sufficient range.

All in all, this set has solved a number of problems for me and I strongly recommend it. Just be sure to check ALL the keys, etc. immediately when you get it and exchange it for another unit if any of the keys do not respond.

Gyration GYM1100NA Air Mouse GO Plus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a teacher who uses this in the classroom.I used to use a green laser pointer (green is tremendously brighter than red), but these are very fragile.

With this, I can walk around the room, using a Powerpoint, and use the mouse cursor as a pointer.The hand motion is quite fluid and intuitive.It took about 15 minutes to get the hang of it.The key was rotating the wrist rather than pointing at the screen.

The good:
1) vastly better than a pointer.
2) much better than a slide advancer type of controller.
3) it does not dominate a presentation; it complements it.
4) the size, weight and format is ideal.

The bad:
1) a new user would not be able to just pick this up and start talking, it does require a short learning period.I am told that some do not find this motion as intuitive as I found it.

2) The battery is non-standard and a replacement is not readily available. (all vendors, including Gyration, are sold out)

3) If it is not charged you are out of luck.A shell to hold AA or AAA batteries would really help.

4) The battery life is sub-optimal

5) the RF receiver would benefit from a clip to hook it to something, to that it does not get lost.Another model from Gyration has an internal storage compartment

6) The device itself could use holster.When preoccupied with a discussion, it is too easy to put it down then wonder away.It is a bit bulky for your pocket

Logitech Cordless Desktop S 530 Laser for Mac ( 967664-0403 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my first Mac (an iMac, all very swish), about two weeks ago. I got over most of the initial oddities of the Mac and came to appreciate very much its overall strength and superior quality to any PC I'd ever owned (and I always owned good ones).The only lasting problem I had was the horribly annoying (for PC users) keyboard and mouse (I had the Mac bluetooth/wireless mighty mouse and keyboard . . . high end stuff for Mac).Traditional Mac users who've never used anything else, simply don't understand the ease of use which comes with most higher end PC mouse/keyboard combos.Though I tried very hard, I found the Mac keyboard and especially the mighty mouse to be simply too focussed on form and not enough on function.In particular, for the mouse, the right click function is just not good enough for ex-PC users, it's really not good enough for Mac in general, given the rest of their quality, but many avid Mac people will have difficulty in accepting this.I don't think it's a matter of preference, either, it's really just a matter of ergonomics and basic physics.Enter, then, the Logitech s530, the product that enabled me to finally find happiness and satisfaction with my iMac.Above all, it works really, really well in terms of system function, which is extended with lots of useful features (Mac addicts will say "I don't know why anyone would use these features, why not just learn six thousand different key combinations instead?!" to which I reply: why not use a single button with a nice little icon on it?!), and very very nice in terms of ergonomics. I bought the bluetooth mac mouse/keyboard with my iMac.I shouldn't have wasted the money.I should have bought this product FIRST and just chuckedwhatever combo came standard.We live and learn, but I hope mine helps yours.

ASUS Wireless Eee Keyboard and Mouse Set - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this keyboard and mouse set for my pc laptop. I connect the computer to my television, so I needed good range. It doesn't make mention of this in the specs above, but 10m (30ft) is the range as specified in the manual, and it does so.

Very responsive devices. Elegantly designed, these items look great in my living room when I leave them on my coffee table. I do web design, and I find this easy to use and feature rich enough for my needs. OH! and it also works with my Mac, which is also not specified above. I'm assuming Mac support is not guaranteed, but it was an added bonus. Comes with installation CD, but I didn't need to use it. I love my new keyboard/mouse combo... very pleased.

Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Installation is a breeze. Plug in the charger. Turn on the mini switch on the back of the mouse. Pop the USB receiver into a USB port. (It is so tiny; it is the size of 2 USB plugs altogether.) then use the auto install on the CD. Then shut down, remove your old mouse, and reboot. Done. By the way, the lithium battery had a sufficient charge right out of the box. You're up and running in a couple of minutes.

You don't need a mouse pad. Right away I put it to the test. You know the frustration you feel when a mouse doesn't work, restricting you to the mouse pad. Not this one. I tried it on a gloss lacquer finish maple desktop table, it worked great. Then I said, "Aha, I will put it on the perfectly clear, see through plastic, it came in", and it read perfectly again. You could do microsurgery with this thing, using it on clear plastic, your pants, your legs,or whatever. No movement is too fine, no matter what surface you use it on.

The scroll wheel has a special feature, it tilts right and left. That is a whole new set of choices. You can custom set the features yourself in the Set Point software. You can set up this whole mouse to your specifications, and it is an intuitive menu for doing so. For scrolling at hyper speed, I set "Cruise down" and "Cruise up" at 40%. With a gentle tilt, you are rapidly moving up and down the page, able to stop anywhere. At 100% the page is flying by you. I love hyper speed at 40%. The bottom line is their is no having to scroll the wheel like crazy to get down to the bottom of a long page. It even has an autosensing feature that automatically adjusts the speed to the size of the page. In addition to the tilt is the standard scroll wheel function, but now with 2 speeds, normal and extra fine, by simply pressing down on the wheel, to toggle between the two.

You have presentation flexibility because the mini USB receiver is good up to 12 feet away, even though it had to go through my couch to get to me.

This thing rocks. It's got a topside mini search button that you set up with your favorite search engine. All you do is highlight a word, or phrase, hit the search button and you're there. (HUGE time savings.) Great for learning software; you've got the book, you've got the help file, but you need more. Highlight the topic, one button, and instantly their is a page full of help called Google. (for example)

The document scroll feature is cool enough to deserve its own scroll wheel on the side, which it has. If you're working between two or more programs, or documents, a quick push on the scroll wheel, up comes a box with all the running applications/docs right under your mouse cursor. Then, the tiniest movement brings up your program. Way faster than using the task bar.

The design is something right out of Star Trek. Finally, someone built a mouse with tons of features and the buttons don't get in the way. The top of the mouse doesn't have a left and right click panel, instead the complete top flexes on each side of a slit, in the front middle. So it is an arch that is flexing. It has a Frank Lloyd Wright feeling to it. It works perfectly, very sensitive. I guess you can tell, I love this mouse.

I have been using Logitech keyboards and mice on my machines for quite some time. This thing is a technological breakthrough in sensitivity, intelligent design right down to how they wrap the CD, and I have to admit, beauty. You should see it. Whether it is sitting on the charger, or on your desktop, it's beautiful.
I'd like to say it is a toy, but it is a very serious business tool that makes your work more efficient, and exact. This is the way mice should have been made all along. The only thing wrong with it is you won't be happy with your old mouse anymore. I should get one for every machine. Highly recommended.

PS: This thing is intelligently wrapped. You can be sure that in a UPS (Unbelievably Pulverized Shipment) :-) it won't be flopping around in the box. To remove it once it arrives, do as the instructions tell you, and press on the mouse "On the logo" and it pops right out. The mini receiver pops out just as well.

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 VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Logitech VX Nano Laser Mouse is a very good product that fills a big need for mice: a powerful and convenient wireless mouse for mobile use.You can use this mouse for your desktop, but it's really ideal for your laptop on the go.Sure you can take any mouse with your laptop, but the short receiver, small size and included travel case make this mouse extra portable.

Over the past year of using this mouse, I have come to further appreciate its good features as well as become more aware of its short-comings.This is still one of the better laptop mice you can get, but the size means it will be more ideal for women and smaller children than for men.After using it for hours at a time, I have found that even though I have small hands for a man it's just not as comfortable as some of the larger models.

PROS:
+ The tiny receiver works great!Leave it in your USB port or store it in your mouse!
+ Great optical mouse lets you use it anywhere; no mouse-pads!
+ The side grips have a nice dimpled texture for moving your mouse in comfort
+ The included buttons (L-click, R-click, forward, back, slow) are just enough for most users
+ The buttons can be reprogrammed, though only the *slow* button behind the scroll is worth possibly changing
+ The LED light on top alerts you to a weak battery and when turned on or off
+ The premium scroll wheel switches from normal to turbo with a quick press; can be used to "click" or "hyper-scroll" for normal to superfast scrolling
+ Nice convenient storage compartment for USB receiver inside the mouse
+ Convenient On / Off button for conserving battery power when not in use
+ The AAA batteries are convenient and will last a few months between replacements
+ Great comfort for those with small hands, like women and teens
+ The mouse works for right and left handers; lefties need to click the forward / back buttons with their ring finger or pinkie

CONS:
- The size of the mouse will be too small for extended use by those with medium sized or larger hands, including most men; might be OK for short stints, but over time it becomes tiresome
- The forward / back buttons are placed in a strange location on the top but still off to the side; this actually is more comfortable with the left hand than the right hand
- Logitech's Setpoint software is often the source of complaints, though it has improved with updates over the past year
- The lack of extra function keys limits this mouse from power users
- The list price is in the ball-park, but not a great value

INSTALLATION AND SET UP

This mouse generally works upon plugging it in. The software that comes with it allows you to customize the buttons, but for this mouse I didn't have a need to do that. Only the center button behind the scroll wheel is worth customizing.By default it's set to *slow scroll* mode where you move your mouse to control the direction and speed of scrolling.The rest of the buttons are standard and probably don't need to be changed.

FEATURES

This mouse is sleek and fits nicely in your hand. It's got all the standard buttons, and the scroll button is head over heels above all others.The extra *forward* and *back* buttons are now basically standard requirements.

The VX Nano uses 2 AAA batteries, which means no you can use regular or rechargeable batteries and can replace them when they fail. I burned through my first set after about 3 months of usage.I have found since then that I sometimes need to change batteries every month.Sometimes I can get about 2 months out of a set with light usage.

Even when your batteries are dying, you can squeeze out some more time by switching the batteries or turning the mouse off and on again.Turn it off when it's not in use to preserve power.The power button is on the underside of the unit.The mouse also comes equipped with a slot to store the USB plug on the bottom.

In fact, the best feature of this mouse is that USB plug, which is almost flush with the back of my computer when plugged in. Most other wireless mice have plugs that stick out 1-2 inches.This receiver only sticks out about a quarter of an inch. This is the first wireless mouse plug I don't have to worry about forgetting in my laptop. I just toggle it on and off on the bottom and go!

Unfortunately, the forward / backward side keys are in a weird spot, particularly when using this right-handed. You have to move your pointer finger over in such a way as to be uncomfortable. Left-handers can click the forward / back buttons with their ring finger or pinkie, which is much more comfortable.You can even use your middle finger if you are *left-clicking* with it, which is the same as *right-clicking* with your right hand.So if you are ambidextrous, it's better to use this left-handed.

I found the placement of those buttons to be less than ideal when using either hand.They are so small that it's difficult to find them, and after not using them much it's easy to forget they are even there when you need them.They do work a little better left-handed, but in general I wish they were bigger and not so far off to the side.

CONCLUSION

This is a very good mouse that is great for mobile computing.The discrete USB plug makes it convenient for laptop users on the go.The small size means that over time those with medium or large sized hands will want to step up to a larger version.Some may decide that the nano-receiver is not worth the smaller mouse and choose the Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse or the Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse instead.Logitech has been adding to their lineup of mice that use the smaller mini USB receiver.That includes the Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Mouse- Black and the Logitech V550 Cordless Laser Mouse, among others.So unlike at the time I got the VX Nano, you do have other options.

Enjoy!

Logitech Wireless Marathon Mouse M705 with 3-Year Battery Life Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mouse for my desktop computer because it fit my hand well when I tried it in the store. I initially had the USB receiver plugged into the BACK of the computer and I had serious tracking issues. The mouse worked so poorly at first that I had to go through the software install using just the keyboard. I was hoping the problem had to do with drivers. It didn't. The problem was simply that the USB receiver was too far away from the mouse (or was blocked by too many obstacles). I moved the receiver to a USB port on the front of my PC and the mouse now works perfectly. And just so I don't scare too many people away with concerns that the mouse has a short range, my computer sits on the floor to the left of me and the mouse sits to my right. There's about four feet between my mouse pad and the back of the computer, with plenty of metal and clutter in between.

It's probably safe to assume those other reviewers had the same problem. If you're using this mouse with a laptop I'm sure you'll be fine. If you plan to use it with a desktop, you may want to get a USB hub if your computer is too far from the mouse and doesn't have a front USB port you can use.

Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110 (967561-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I also own the logitech laser LX3000 and the LX 700, and I initially liked the EX 110 for its cheap price, light weight, and small foot print (or lap print in my case).I've concluded that despite these benefits, in my opinion, this keyboard is cheaply made, and you get what yo pay for.The keys have a cheap feel to them, and the buttons on top look and feel low quality.I can already hear a very small piece rattling around in the keyboard that must have broken off from somewhere and I've only had this keyboard a few days.I guess it's good if you want something cheap and plan on upgrading in a few months, but you're better off with the LX 300 or better which is heavier and more solidly build.The reason I don't like the more expensive models is because they add buttons and features that most people, including me, don't need or want, but you're also paying more for top quality that feels better.The mouse is also junky; it's not ergonomic (curved for comfort) and the scroll wheel makes a lot of noise.

Logitech MX620 Cordless Laser Mouse (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't usually don't take the time to rate products, but I really like this mouse and noticed that some others had problems with it while others loved it.Here's my bottom line on it:
1) DOES NOT FEEL CHEAPLY MADE -- to the contrary, feels heavier and more substantial than the previous Logitech corded laser mice I have owned; I have used it for 6 months or more and the feet are not coming off or anything like that.So I really don't know what other reviewers are talking about here, unless they are used to some kind of high-end heavy duty mouse or something.Looking at my mouse, it would take an effort to physically take the feet off of it, so I can't understand the "separating feet" comment either.
2) WIRELESS RANGE CAN BE AN ISSUE -- some of the other reviews mention this mouse has "jerky" behaviour.I had the same problem until I moved the USB receiver from my PC tower (which was under the desk) to a USB hub I have on my desktop that is closer to the mouse.So jerkiness is not an inherent problem with this mouse, but you DO need to be able to place the USB receiver module in close enough proximity to the mouse to ensure you don't have this problem.
3) WORKS GREAT WITH WINDOWS XP -- some reviewers had problem using this mouse with one of the MAC operating systems.I can't comment on this, but I had absolutely no problem or trouble using this with Windows XP.Was a seamless process.
4) GREAT PRICE -- I think $39 at Amazon is a great price for what you're getting here.Some of the other cordless mice are over $100, so logically these more expensive mice have to be better/more features in some respects or they are taking you to the cleaners!But this mouse meets all the requirements I have for a mouse.

Logitech Wireless Keyboard K320 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this keyboard (and the Logitech Performance MX Mouse) as part of my home office remodeling / update, as I wanted a wireless keyboard and mouse that used Logitech's Unifying receiver.

Installation was a breeze, I launched the Unifying setup program from within SetPoint, and added my keyboard with minimal fuss. Both the mouse and keyboard work flawlessly through the single receiver (about time, Logitech!)

This keyboard is basically a Unifying wireless version of the Logitech Internet 350 and Logitech Deluxe 250 budget keyboards (which I also use and love). The keyboard layout and dimensions are very similar.

Pros:
- Simple setup
- Excellent key-feel. Uses the standard Logitech Budget keys and switches.Very familiar.
- Fantastic Unifying Wireless receiver (works with other Unifying devices).This receiver is TINY!
- Standard keyboard layout (a MUST. Who uses L shaped Enter keys, small backspace, or non-traditional insert delete rows?)
- A couple of nice multimedia keys. I like the volume keys (+, -, mute). I don't really use the rest.
- Includes number pad. Casual users may not use this, but as a professional programmer, I occasionally need one. Perfect for my needs.

Cons:
- OK battery life. It turns itself off when not in use, but the 3 year claim has got to be wishful thinking from Logitech.
- Packaging. Amazon sent this keyboard in a truly gigantic box. I appreciate the concern, but surely 1 inch of packing material on all sides is enough. This thing was cradled in 1 foot of Amazon's brown packing paper on all sides.

Final Notes:
- The included SetPoint software was woefully out of date. Get the one from Logitech's website instead.
- The whole point of the Unifying receiver is for multiple devices to work on the same nano-receiver. I suggest getting a mouse to match your fancy new keyboard.
- The K340 and K350 are also Unifying Wireless Keyboards, but the K350 uses the wave shape ("ergonomic") and the K340 uses a non-standard key-layout. I'm a keyboard purist, so the K320 was the only option for me

Logitech LX6 Cordless Optical Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a mouse mouse to use on one of my other computers and just happened to stumble across this nice LX6 on clearance at target.Since I have an LX7 on my main computers, I figured I'd give this one a shot.

First off, the differences.As far as I can tell, the only differences is the lack of back/forward buttons, the large receiver, and some very minor design changes.

Performance wise, this mouse seems to work just as well as my LX7.Both are rather heavy using a pair of AA batteries, but in turn you get outstanding battery life.My LX7 will last at least 4 months of pretty heavy daily use.A little side note, if the weight is really a problem, the mouse will work with a single battery.I have not tested this for an extended time but have confirmed both my LX6 and LX7 will work without both batteries...go figure!)

Buttons have a nice feel to them.While I don't use the left/right scroll-wheel click, all other clicks have a soft feel.I will say they are almost too soft.Well, except for the center-click, though it seems much easier on the LX6 than my LX7.

There's really not much else to say regarding this fairly basic mouse.However, if all you need is a basic mouse, this is probably about as good as they get.No software is required either (unless you do want the left/right wheel clicks)

Logitech K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My K350 came yesterday and I'm quite pleased, in contrast to the other review. I've been using PCs since 1980, so I've typed on a bunch of keyboards, all the way back to the original IBM PC and a handful of DEC and other terminal boards. This is the first "wave" keyboard that I've used, but not the first with an attached palm rest.

GENERAL:
The feel of the entire unit is solid, and the keys seem to have a good response. (It's not as solid as my Northgate OmniKey, but nobody has made mainstream metal keyboards for over a decade.) The keys seemed to be spaced and sized much like any other keyboard, then I measured. The keys on my basic Dell keyboard are 3/4" square, nearly flat, and touch each other. These keys are separated, deeper like an older keyboard, and just about 5/8" square, though there is enough space between them that they are almost 3/4" from center to center. My conclusion is that these keys are, indeed, typical in size and spacing. The wave shape makes the positions a bit different fom what I'm accustomed to, but not enough to cause me problems.

The palm rest is lightly padded and I find it quite comfortable, though for me it is a wrist rest as I have small hands -- 6 1/2" from base to fingertip.There are two feet on the back for either a 4

HP Wireless Elite Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Picked up one of these yesterday and so far I'm loving it.It's quiet, the key feel isn't bad, the key layout is good (like the enlarged Delete key), and some of the special keys (like the volume control) work even though I haven't bothered to install HP's software (yet, anyhow).

Wireless range is sufficient for my needs.The little USB fob plugged right into my existing USB hub and was recognized by my system instantly without having to load any drivers.Neat!

I love the look of the keyboard, and it's very small without a ton of useless plastic around the edges - just a narrow border about half an inch wide.I was using an older wired USB Apple keyboard with my PC before this - one with white keys and a transparent body - which I chose because it didn't waste a ton of desk space.I'm not sure why manufacturers feel they have to surround their keyboards with an idiotic ocean of useless plastic.Until now, Apple seemed to be one of the few manufacturers who realized that it's not only unnecessary, but also really ugly.

I was never entirely happy with the key feel of the Apple though, and it collected dirt (and cat hair) like nobody's business.And I wanted a wireless keyboard so I could remove it from the desk entirely when I needed the space.This keyboard isn't much larger (same width, about an inch deeper), but doesn't suffer from the same . . . hygiene issues, and the keyfeel is much better.

According to everything I've read the batteries (which it comes with a set of already installed) should last for about a year, at which time I'll probably replace them with rechargeables.

It's a little spendy, and it isn't quite as space-saving as Apple's old design, but given its looks and performance I'd recommend it.

Logitech Wireless Wave Combo Mk550 With Keyboard and Laser Mouse (920-002555) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very impressed with this product.I have used many, many keyboards and wireless mice over the years and this keyboard / mouse combo really are excellent. They both look and feel high quality with a soft rubberized coating on the mouse and the keyboard wrist wrest.

I have been using a Microsoft Natural keyboard 4000 for the ergonomics and convenience buttons.This Logitech keyboard is MUCH, MUCH quieter and the spacebar is much easier to press.In addition, I think that the convenience buttons (like the volume control, media center launcher, etc) are much easier to see and use on this Logitech Keyboard than the Microsoft Natural keyboard. I will say that I occasionally thought that I noticed a bit of a delay with the keys I typed not showing up on the screen instantly. I'm not sure if I can blame that on the keyboard or not, but whatever the case it wasn't something that caused me enough of a problem to knock a star off the rating. Since I'm now using this keyboard as my keyboard I'll update this review if it becomes problematic.

The mouse is a good size and fit. It does not have an ergonomic slant to it where your hand is tilted a bit to give your wrist a more natural positions, but my thumb and ring finger just seemed to go perfectly into the grooves and the convenience buttons worked well.This is the first optical / laser mouse I've had that doesn't light up. No red glow, but it is works great!

The one thing that you need to know about this product is that it is really what I would call an ergonomic "blend" product. By that I mean that the keyboard is more ergonomic than a standard straight keyboard and the keys are very easy to press, but it definitely is not as ergonomic as a keyboard with a true split keyboard that is angled up in the middle.This will be completely up to your preference of which style you prefer and the product marketing material makes it very clear that this keyboard is more ergonomic than a standard but doesn't require learning how to type again. I would say that is true. I've used various split style ergonomic keyboards for years where the keys are literally split along the T-G-B keys for the left hand and Y-H-N keys for the right hand.I like that style and may go back to it, but often people will sit down to use my split style keyboard and find that they can't type very well.With this Logitech keyboard, my wife noticed that there is a bit of a difference from her regular keyboard due to the bit of ergonomics factored into "wave" of the keyboard, but it didn't seem to cause problems for her to type.So to that end, I suppose that the product works as advertised and isn't a reason to knock a star off, but you definitely should beware that it isn't as ergonomic as some keyboards on the market, such as the Microsoft Natural Keyboard.

I have to rave about the wireless receiver. It is the smallest receiver I've ever seen. It really is about the size of thumbtack and the single receiver works for both the keyboard and mouse. The mouse has a little slot for storing the receiver, so it can be safely stowed away. I was very impressed by the fact that I plugged it in, pulled the battery tapes out of both the keyboard and mouse and everything instantly started working (I use Windows 7).That was all it took to get most of the functionality working. Most of the extra functionality buttons like volume control worked immediately.I did end up installing the software from the CD to get the last few buttons to work, but that was no big deal.I stood back about 12 feet to see if the receiver would work from that distance and it worked fine.

I am impressed with the build quality, the quietness, the small receiver, and how easy it was to get started with it.I also liked that Logitech included the Duracell batteries pre-installed in the keyboard and mouse, with only having to pull a tab to activate them (Note: the keyboard and the most each take 2 standard AA batteries). I would prefer a keyboard that has a bit more of an ergonomic split to it, but I also know that many people can't stand that style of keyboard.So perhaps this keyboard is a pretty good blend or ergonomics and ease of use for most people.In the end, you probably would be wise to go try it out in the store to see if you really like how it feels. If you like the feel of it, then I think you'll be really happy with how well it works once you get it home.
