Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
the overall apperance is good and the keys feel firm (not cheap as i feared) the mouse lights up also wich my daughter really liked. i would recomend this keyboard.

the cons are the mouse is a little small (great for a teenager) and it is shipped without an adapter so you will need 2 free usb ports.

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks - White Review

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks - White
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.

Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks- Grey Review

Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks- Grey
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, as far as I can tell, there is no operational difference between this black version of the Logitech V320 wireless mouse and the grotesquely ugly grey and silver version of the Logitech V320. It was worth the price difference for me to have this much more attractive black version. The images of the product shown here on Amazon are *exactly* what it looks like.

I am using this product with Windows XP Pro SP2, without the Logitech driver.

PROS:
* Stylish design and color.
* Very responsive and accurate, which gives you a wide range of actually usable mouse speeds via the Windows Control Panel --> Mouse pointer speed adjustments. If I am doing some digital photo editing, I can slow the mouse down via Windows to give me greater control. When I am browsing the internet, I speed the mouse up to make swift movements across my dual display setup. In fact, the fastest setting in the Mouse Control Panel is almost too fast.
* Fits my hand well. I am a man, but I wear gloves in size small (male) or size medium (female LOL), so the diminutive size is handy not only for travel but it fits my hand much better than the huge desktop mice (such as the Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1000 which this mouse is replacing).
* Furthermore, the ergonomics are excellent: the curvature on the top feels perfect, the sides are rubberized for easier gripping, and the Teflon pads on the bottom are large and allow the mouse to slide easily across my desktop, and these pads look thick enough to last a long time before wearing out.
* The left and right clicks are sure and smooth. It does NOT require much pressure to click the left or right buttons, and this is important to me to reduce the stress on the tendons of my arm. I can click and click and click and my arm does not grow fatigued.
* The scroll wheel is also reasonably responsive.
* There is an on/off button on the bottom.
* Or you can plug the receiver into the mouse and the mouse will automatically turn off. When you remove the receiver, the mouse automatically turns on again.
* It uses easy-to-find inexpensive AAA batteries. I use alkaline batteries, because a mouse is a very low-drain device, but of course you could use NiMH rechargeable batteries--I use and recommend Sanyo eneloop batteries, since they hold their charge much longer than regular NiMH batteries.

CONS:
* In order to middle-click, you must press down pretty hard on the scroll wheel. I do find this quite aggravating, as I often need that middle-click to open new tabs in Firefox. This is my only complaint about the mouse, as I love everything else about it.

UPDATE: I thought I would add the following information: This mouse does *NOT* turn off automatically after a period of disuse. Yay! I have a Kensington Optical Wireless Mini mouse (model # 72214) that *does* turn off after a few minutes if you do not move or click the mouse, and I find that behavior quite aggravating. Let's face it, modern mice are *very low drain* devices, so it already costs next to nothing to operate them on regular alkaline batteries. I don't need the nuisance, just to save a few pennies a year, of grabbing the mouse and having it not respond until I click a button. Also, a mouse that is rechargeable is going to co$t much more, and comes with the additional bother of being *required* to recharge it periodically.

SECOND EDIT (on June 21, 2008): A fresh pair of alkaline batteries will last about 4 months in this mouse. And, while the mouse is still working, but just before the batteries expire, the little green LED on top of the mouse will very slowly blink on and off as a warning that it is time to change the batteries.

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

Logitech MX 610 Cordless Laser Mouse
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.

Gyration GYM1100NA Air Mouse GO Plus Review

Gyration GYM1100NA Air Mouse GO Plus
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

I have an old Dell ergonomic (split) keyboard that I really like, that still works great, but has a PS2 plug. I have a new Dell Optiplex 300 that only has USB outlets - no PS2. This is the perfect solution - plug and play. It just works. I was a little concerned after reading some reviews for similar products, especially after reading the mixed reviews for Cables Unlimited ADP-5210, for example. After reading another review for another product, I found this, ordered it, and am very satisfied. Highly recommended. In fact, I'm typing out this review with the keyboard connected through the adapter right now!

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

Logitech Cordless Desktop S 530 Laser for Mac
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.

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

Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse Review

Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using this mouse for more than a month now. When the MX1100 first came out, the price was more expensive than the Logitech MX Revolution mouse. So, I was expecting that the MX1100 was going to be an upgraded version of the MX Revolution and that might not be true in some aspects.

I have been a big fan of Logitech for a long time. Ever since they made their first mouse, I was a customer and have never been dissatisfied. The only other company that I think is the best for a mouse is Microsoft (Yes, they are a great hardware company). The reliability of a Logitech mouse is very good and I still have many Logitech mice and trackballs floating around my house. When I got the Logitech MX Revolution mouse, I thought that I finally got a mouse that can go with the rest of my life. :) And when I saw a Logitech mouse that was more expensive than the MX Revolution, I was excited how Logitech would have improved their technology even further. The thing is that there is no fancy feature added to the MX1100 and some things are not better than the MX Revolution. Here are the things that I felt during the month of usage. I mainly compare the MX1100 with the MX Revolution, because the mouse in this price range, I think still the MX Revolution is the best and it can be served as a reference for a review.

1. The MX1100 is fatter than the MX Revolution. At first, I thought that the MX Revolution was big, however, the MX1100 is even bigger. As a matter of fact, it is fatter and more round than the MX Revolution. When I first grabbed it, I felt like I was holding a baseball in my hand. Since I got too used to the contour of the MX Revolution, the MX1100 felt a little awkward to me in the first place. But, once I got used to it, it felt much better. Still, I like the shape of the MX Revolution better (I have a small hand) and now the MX Revolution feels much slimmer than before.

2. The material used in the MX1100 feels cheaper than the Revolution. It might be because of the grayish black color and the light weight plastic, however, the touch and the feel of the MX Revolution is way better. And the color and finish of the MX Revolution looks even better than the MX1100.

3. As far as the weight is concerned, the MX1100 is lighter than the MX Revolution. So, if you prefer a light mouse and want to have less burden on your wrist, then the MX1100 might work better for you.

4. I have always liked a mouse with a rechargeable battery. However, the MX1100 uses normal AA batteries (2) and does not provide rechargeable batteries. The good thing is that Logitech claimed that the battery can last almost 9 months of a normal usage. If so, I would not complain about this. Because, the rechargeable battery in the mouse gets degraded and you should recharge the mouse more often over the time. And the rechargeable battery in the MX Revolution is not easily replaced. If the battery in the MX1100 lasts about 9 months, I am happy with it.

5. In the MX Revolution, clicking the wheel changes the scroll mode from the fast scrolling mode to the clicky wheel mode or vice versa. In the MX1100, you should use the small button right beneath the scroll wheel to do that. I am using the MX Revolution and the MX1100 together now and am always confused about it. But if you are one who uses either one, you do not need to worry about it. BTW, I am a huge fan of the fast scrolling mode (you can scroll many pages within a second) and it also works beautifully in the MX1100.

6. Finally, there is a new thing in the MX1100. It is a thumb button and is located under the place that you put your thumb on it. It is not visible and hidden inside the rubber under the place for your thumb. Once you get to used to it, it is very convenient. As you expect, you can assign any action to this thumb button. And the horizontal wheel used to located near the thumb in the MX Revolution is gone. I am not missing it since I did not use it much. I assigned the volume up/down to the horizontal thumb wheel, however, I always forget that the wheel is there. I think Logitech might feel the same way that it is useless. No complaint.

Overall, the MX1100 mouse is a great mouse. The tracking couldn't be better and it is a top notch mouse in every aspect. It just has a sibling that shines more, the MX Revolution. Now the price of the MX1100 is approximately $10 cheaper than the MX Revolution and if you prefer a light mouse with a fat and round design, there is no reason not to choose the MX1100. I dropped the MX1100 more than several times from the table and it still works very well. It did not have a single scratch on it. It is very sturdy and firm. And if you are not a big fan of a shiny and glossy surface mouse like the MX Revolution, the MX1100 mouse is for you. They are like the glossy and matte papers in the a photo printing. The choice is on you.

I just received my ErgoMotion Mouse. I was looking for an ergonomic replacement for my previous Microsoft mouse that died on me after several years of loyal service. I was very frustrated with the options available for left handed users. I came across Smartfish Technologies web site a few months ago, before the mouse was available, and decided that this would be my next mouse (I used my "back-up" mouse until now, a wired $3 mouse). I kept checking back to see about availability and when I saw that Amazon had a few in stock, I jumped at it and it arrived today. I love the ErgoMotion Mouse. It took me a few minutes to get used to it, Its a little larger than I expected, I had to decide whether its more comfortable to use a palm rest or not, and I had to adjust the pointer speed in the mouse settings. Now I am happy. My months of suffering with my uncomfortable back-up mouse is over. I highly recommend the ErgoMotion Mouse. It is comfortable, seems to be well made and the pivoting top has just the right amount of resistance. At first I found that I was accidentally pressing the buttons while moving the mouse, but after a few minutes, I'm used to it. It is a great product.
