Logitech Cordless MX Duo 967300-0403 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received my cordless mx duo and have to say that this is by far the best keyboard and mouse I have ever owned. The keyboard is whisper quiet, the mouse is so responsive I sometimes think it's telepathic, and the enclosed software (this refers to the Mac OS X software) is top-notch, easy to use and programmable to your liking, plus incredibly stable. The price alone for both products (and only having to deal with one cordless transmitter and losing only one USB port) is reason enough to buy them together instead of separately. Even if you're thinking of just getting a new mouse, or a new keyboard, get them both and watch your amazement at how wonderful these two products work seemlessly together. Even the keyboard has a little scroll wheel and internet buttons if you don't feel like reaching over to your mouse (which also has a scroll wheel) or taking your hands off the keyboard because you're busily typing. This is one mouse and keyboard that even Microsloth can't copy (their late-in-the-game accessories are made by hewlett-packard and redistributed under the MS logo) just yet. But give them time. ;)
Every button on each Logitech product is fully configurable, but you may not want to fiddle around in the Logitech control panel. The default settings are already intuitive, and the mouse feels so good under your palm, you'll probably be saying goodbye to sore wrists in no time! Speaking of which, the mouse is incredibly smooth and responsive (for a cordless optical), and you have to wonder how they did it. Which I did, and I learned that it uses the very latest in cutting-edge RF technology. If you're a graphic designer, or even a regular computer user, you will not regret this purchase. People who have tried my mouse and keyboard were simply stunned by its incredible looks, feel, and handling. And so will you. Though your boss may think you're not working because the keyboard is so quiet!

Kensington K72318US SlimBlade Notebook Set with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (Graphite) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful keyboard. After looking at piles of keyboards and buying and trying 3 others for my new computer set-up, this one's a keeper.

I prefer keyboards that are more like a laptop with short keystroke travel and very smooth, quiet functioning. I also like compact keyboards without a number pad or lots of extra keys and dials and whatnot. Just the keypad for me, please.

This keyboard is all that - plus it is just a beautiful piece of equipment. Solid and weighty while being extremely thin and trim. I wasn't expecting the weightyness part as most keyboards are now light as a feather, but now that I have it, I like it. Keeps the keyboard from moving and I think probably helps to keep it quiet.

One thing I would note is that the keyboard is compact, even more compact than my previous wired Kensington keyboard, and it might be a bit too tight for someone with quite large hands. I have pretty normal sized hands and it fits fine.

And also I am not using the mouse, so can't really comment on that at all. I am extremely happy with my Logitech MX 1100 (which took about 5 tries to get right) and won't be abandoning it anytime soon.

Logitech Cordless Desktop Keyboard, Mouse, and Stereo Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got a wireless keyboard, mouse, and wired speaker set for $15! and its also made by logitech..a great brand (imho). It a refub, and the box was in rough shape, but the item works great.I had to change the batteries and the keyboard and in the mouse, but for $15 it was worth it. The speakers don't sound the best, but there ins't any static/crackly noise, so they're good enough.
Everything in this package works great and worked the first time I installed the product. Would recommend to anyone wanting an inexpensive wireless setup.

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.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000 - b5q-00027 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great basic wireless keyboard/mouse set. Works great for the price.It does not eat up batteries, regular batteries can last a good 3-4 months before you have to change them.The keyboard works right out of the box, you don't have to install any software unless you want to use the special shortcut keys, but I recommend against installing included software, it is buggy and may mess up your USB drivers.The range on this is about 3 feet, I wish it was longer, but the usb receiver has long cord so you can position it at an optimal distance for your setup.

Gyration GYM1100CKNA Air Mouse GO Plus with Compact Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)*******HOW LONG HAVE I OWNED THE GYRATION GO AIR MOUSE & COMPACT KEYBOARD?*******

I have owned this Compact Keyboard and Go Air Mouse Combo for well over a year. I bought it to replace my IR (infra red) Silitek SK-7551 compact keyboard + pointing device for my Home Theater PC (HTPC).

*******WHY DID I NEED IT?*******

Since I have an HTPC it's connected to my HT receiver in my living room and its used to play back DVD, music, stream online video (YouTube). And usually in an HTPC setup the the actual computer case is next to the TV and HT Receiver while you sit a couple of feet away (11ft in my case) from the set up. So you need a wireless keyboard/mouse and remote to work everything.

I have had some sort of an HTPC for about 6 years and in these years the MOST used device (besides the universal remote) is the MOUSE. The SK-7551 retailed for $25 but is no longer made. The OLD mouse was a pointing device in my Silitek Keyboard which meant I had to cradle the weight of the entire keyboard just to use the mouse. So I realized that I need a separate mouse and keyboard but did not want to spend on high end stuff like Logitech DiNovo. Plus the Silitek Keyboard was IR which means I needed to ALWAYS point to the receiving station (placed under the TV) for me to make it work. *******SO HOW WELL DOES IT WORK?*******

Note the OLD keyboard on my HTPC was an IR or infra red keyboard which means the two sensors MUST be in the line of sight to work. That was the bad news, the good news was that it was immune from interference. Any RF product that run at 2.4 Ghz (like the Gyration Keyboard&Mouse) will have some interference. Even a microwave can cause some interference.

Here are some observations:
1) The Gyration KEYBOARD is a compact 88 keys RF keyboard and it's very light. But I do have some delay between initial keystrokes and them appearing on screen. But once the letters start appearing on screen the delay is minimal. But it can get irritating but you get used to it.

2) If you plan to use this as the ONLY keyboard & mouse connected to your PC you need to enable USB mouse and keyboard in your BIOS. The RF receiver that comes with the product plug into your USB device. Otherwise you cannot use the mouse or keyboard when you are in the BIOS.

3) The RF USB receiver seems to work better when plug it in the front USB ports. This could be because my HTPC has 802.11G PCI card with antenna in the back and plugging it in the back with both devices on 2.4Ghz may not be a good idea. But if you have a toddler in the house like I do, that's not very feasible to put it in the front USB port. So I bought 3 ft USB extension cord and plugged one end in the rear ports but the actual RF receiver is safely hidden in the TV cabinet. Since its RF it works through walls.

4) The STAR of the system in the Gyration GO Air Mouse. It can be used as an optical mouse and if you pick it up it becomes an gyro controlled air mouse. It works "pretty well" most of time. The Go Air tools software controls hand gestures and they work well too. But I cannot get the back and forward swipe motions for Firefox to work. Every time I gesture to go back in the FireFox browser it will do it but it will also open ANOTHER Firefox window. The solution is to open an IE window, minimize it and then use Firefox. When you do this the back and forward motion in Firefox works fine. This is a Firefox specific problem...its irritating but I have learned to live with it.

The above problem only happens with back and forward gestures in the Firefox browser, if you use IE you wont have to deal with it. The short cut to programs are really cool and they work well.

The other problem is with the battery. It does not hold charge that long (and I mean like a standard on your table bluetooth or wireless mouse), the solution is pretty simple keep the mouse + charger as close to your couch as possible this way you use it and when you are done put it back on the charge and its always on the charge till you need it. It will hold a charge for about 2-3 hours enough for you to get through a DVD movie.

*******OK OK...DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT WE BUY IT?*******

I did NOT buy this from Amazon, there was a very very slickdeal for this combo and it cost me about 1/4th of it's current Amazon Retail (at the time of writing).

Do I think its a great product for $100 + ? No, go for a Logitech DiNovo Mini for a little more.

Do I think its a great product for $50-100? Meeh, it depends.

Ok so is it a great product for under $50 ? ABSOFRIGGINGLUTELY :-)

Logitech Notebook Kit MK605 Keyboard, Mouse, and Laptop Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like this notebook kit. There are several things that stand out about it.

1) Stylish - the mouse, keyboard and stand are all minimalistic, but look nice with black and yellow accents.
2) Quality - I buy a lot of logitech stuff, but this seems to be really good as far as the build of the keyboard and mouse.
3) USB adapter - it comes with the low profile USB adapter so you never have to take it out of your notebook. This was the main reason i bought the kit, to replace my old notebook mouse with annoying large USB plug.
4) No Wires - some people may want a kit with extra USB ports or inputs, but i did not. I'm glad because there are no extra wires to clutter up my desk.

So overall no complaints. Id heard with some of the other kits that the notebook didn't stay on the stand to well, but this one has multiple levels of incline and rubber on the bottom to grip the edge of the notebook. Maybe a little overpriced but i still recommend it.

Wireless Rf Mini Multimedia USB Kyb with optical Trackball 2.4GHZ Blk Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this as the keyboard for my living room entertainment center. Although I have the USB RF receiver in the front USB port, I am able to type and mouse as if it were a wired keyboard/mouse even from my kitchen 25 feet away. This is the best purchase I've made for my entertainment center. I love the trackball on the right and the scrollwheel under the left trigger spot. My only complaint is that the RF times out after a short while (5m perhaps), but it comes on with any keystroke (and it still registers that keystroke). When I need to use the mouse, I just hit the shift key and it functions again. This is probably a good feature because it should be saving battery life. I've been using the same batteries for three months and have not had to re-register the keyboard to the USB receiver.

Logitech Wireless Keyboard K340 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just perfect ! This replaced my Kensington SlimBlade Media Set (Software needs IMPROVEMENT) and Logitech DiNovoWin Keyboard (Compact but TOO HEAVY).
So far this is my favorite compact keyboard at the moment compare to my other small keyboards thatI used previously (Kensington SlimBlade Media Set, DiNovoWindow & DiNovo Media Desktop),this one is very light, compact and I especially like the deep red orange highlights behind the keys, it gives it a very discreet sexy glow. I'm not a heavy typist so I got all the keys that I need, although using it with Photoshop, some of the key locations needs getting use to, but its small compromise, the full integrated number pad is a plus.

Pros:
Compact & light with a full number keypad.
Light but looks & feels very well made.
When typing the keys, it feels like a real keyboard (Not Laptop like)
Nice Soft Edges all around
Deep Red Orange Highlights behind the keys is very slick and hide all the dust & dirt better compare to black.
On & off switch is a nice addition
Small compact receiver
Unifying receiver is a plus (Still have to try)
Battery Life (Still too early to know)
Good SetPoint software to customize keys & Settings (Much Much Much Better than Kensington)

Cons:
Glossy Black finish is nice but it's thumb prints magnet (but easy to clean LOL)
Unifying receiver does not work with my old favorite mouse ( MX 1100 & MX Revolution)
Some key location needs getting use to.

Conclusion:
Logitech did it again, for the price, it's a great compact wireless keyboard, unifying receiver is a nice feature but does not work with older mouse & products. For the heavy typist, I recommend try it out first before getting one.

U Wish !
Unify with DiNovo mini keyboard .
I wish the new MX mouse that could be unified with this keyboard is NOT RECHARGEABLE
Toggle to double as mouse like the one on DiNovo Mini

2.4 Ghz RF Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo Unit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent keyboard. Its buttons feel similar to a laptop keyboard which I don't prefer but that's OK.

Also, as another reviewer mentioned, it does NOT have lights to indicate button status such as CAPS LOCK, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, etc. Fear not, there is a solution to this. You can find the solution at sourceforge dot net. All the software there is OPEN SOURCE which is even better. :D Go there and type in "caps lock" and hit enter. The program is called "keystate". I'd give you a direct link here but Amazon won't allow me which is why I've had to edit my review.

Be sure to download the "static" version. This will show you the status of those above mentioned buttons on your screen.

The range of this thing is impressive to say the least. My computer is in my backroom and I closed the door, went into the kitchen, out the side exterior door with it closed and stood on the porch and held down the buttons in notepad. It typed them just as I did. That must've been 35 feet and through multiple walls. I also play processor intensive games and I need a keyboard that doesn't have any lag because I have to act very quickly on my game or I could end up losing. So far, there is NO lag at all. Not even a little bit.

The mouse seems pretty cheap. Though, they didn't tell me this in the description but the mouse is actually a 5 button mouse which is great! I was expecting only a 3 button mouse. So that makes up for the cheapness of it.

Also, both the mouse and the keyboard only require 1 AAA battery each. Though, you can put two in each to extend the range or longevity of use before replacing the battery.

Media buttons on both sides including Play, Pause, next, back, mute, volume up, volume down, and default music player launch.

It also has computer hotkeys at the top. Such as Sleep, My computer, calculator, search, refresh, (a star key), mail, and home page. It is a tad bit heavier than other wireless keyboards but that's probably due to the fact that it's a 2.4 ghz wireless keyboard and not one of the lesser type.

I've had it now for a little over 24 hours. If this thing breaks or anything goes wrong, I will come back here and update this review. Otherwise, assume that everything is just fine.

UPDATE: It stopped working. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was. I reinserted the CD and it would start working again and then shortly stop there after. I'm running Windows XP but you know when it comes to software there are too many variables to consider. It's hard to know if it was my fault or the keyboards fault. All I know is, it stopped working and I had to resort to my previous keyboard. Also, the brand "Frisby" I do not recognize so I would have to say I would no longer recommend this item. Unfortunately, I can't change my star rating or I would drop it to a 3.

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.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro v2.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Over the last 2-3 few years, I've used no less than 4 different keyboards and more than 8 different mice.As a programmer, I spend hours (10+) each day typing on the computer and then even more time after hours playing computer games.As such, the quest for a comfortable keyboard/mouse has been a long one; it has become my quest for the "Holy Grail" of comfort.
I have to say that I am impressed with thie setup.The mouse is one of the most comfortable ones that I've EVER used.The keyboard is soft, tactile, and well laid out (spacing + key size).Both components operate without the slightest hint of lag, which is one big turn off I had in my previous experiences with wireless input devices.As far as the materials quality, both components feel top notch.While the keyboard squeaks a bit when you torque it, the plastics are certainly of high quality and the design is clean and functional (lots of handy quick launch buttons, all well laid out and labeled).
Setup was a breeze.I was somewhat concerned as it appeared that I would have to use PS/2 to connect the keyboard while my laptop does not have a PS/2 board. However, the base station only needs to be connected via one USB port for both keyboard and mouse.And if you are using the USB interface with a newer O/S, this setup is completely plug and play with no need for any driver installation (for basic features).Some of the advanced features (like the horizontal scroll) require driver installation.
So far as battery life is concerned, I can't comment at this time.But hopefully will be on par with similar models (Logitech at work has been on same battery for 3+ months now).
So give this keyboard a shot if you've been waiting on the technology to catch up with the concept, if you've been having pain with other keyboard/mouse setups, or if you just want a cool looking wireless setup.
------UPDATE-------
Since I've gotten this set in October (mid March now), I've been on the same set of batteries for the keyboard and I've changed batteries once for the mouse.Keep in mind that this is with regular 10+ hours of use a day.
I've had some issues with the signal intering with other wireless devices (it's either my cell phone, cordless phone, or the router).This will cause the keyboard and mouse (mostly mouse) to act quirky.However, this can be resolved by 1) creating more space between your workspace and the suspect interering item and 2) hit the connect button on the base station and then on the mouse (usually the mouse goes quirky) a few times and it'll usually correct itself.
Other than that, I have to say that I am still extremely satisfied with my purchase.Extremely comfortable!Cramping and pain in my hands have been reduced drastically since using this set.It's hard to believe that, before I got this set, I was feeling numbness and twitching in my right hand...still some pain now (you can't help it with 10+ hours on the computer), but it's much, much better.

ASUS Wireless Eee Keyboard and Mouse Set - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought a large monitor to use in lieu of my laptop LCD screen, and needed a keyboard/mouse to complete my set up.I was looking for something that was form-factor, would look pretty on my desk, was wireless, simple, and works well.I looked at a number of different keyboards (HP elite, microsoft arc, rocketfish, adesso, logitech), and this was the only one that seemed to fit allof my qualifications.The HP, rocketfish, adesso, logitech ones had too much going on (numeric keypad, shortcut keys, etc - who needs em?), and the MS arc one had a strange cursor set up that i knew I would find irritating.

Pros:
- Small (thin, light)
- Easy set up (put in batteries, plugged in dongle, win7 did the rest!)
- Attractive (has 'chiclet' style keys and a piano black finish to the rest of the keyboard/mouse)
- Simple (no 'unnecessary' features)

Cons:
- Spacebar sometimes unresponsive (same issue I have with my Asus laptop - even as I'm writing this review I'm finding that although I'm hitting the spacebar, it doesn't always register unless I hit it pretty forcefully)
- No Bluetooth (bluetooth would be easier since no additional dongle or anything would be necessary for me)
- USB Dongle a bit large (I have another wireless mouse from MS with a dongle roughly an inch long, whereas this one is the size of your typical USB flash drive)
- No 'on/off' button (when not in use, I'm not sure whether it's eating up the battery or goes on some kind of standby.An on-off switch would make it easier to know and save battery power)
- Lack of internal 'storage area' for USB dongle (again, my MS wireless mouse has a little place on it to store the dongle when not in use, so you don't have to worry about losing it.This product would be well-served by a similar feature)
- Volume controls(you can control volume by pressing Fn+F10/11/12, however, dedicated volume control buttons would be easier)

-----

Update:I found a 'fix' for the spacebar issue on this forum: [...].I tried it out (using 5-6 layers of tiny square cut-outs of tape instead of the epoxy glue) and the spacebar now works perfectly!!
