Gear Head Wireless Keypad + Optical Mouse Review

Gear Head Wireless Keypad + Optical Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Nice features include the on/off switches on both the keypad and mouse, backspace, and vol. control buttons. No S/W driver CD required to use this - just plug in the USB base/transceiver. Mouse has two buttons and a scroll wheel. The USB/Transceiver has a snap for connecting it together with the keypad for storage.
Once or twice the keypad did not immediately attach to the USB base transceiver, requiring that I press the "connect" button on the bottom of the keypad - probably RF interference w/ my other wireless keypad. Didn't have trouble with the mouse attaching.
Mouse movement overall is pretty smooth. I tried using the mouse with both Windows XP and Vista. The first time I tried the mouse in Vista it was .1% intermittently jittery, and sometimes the mouse button was not responsive, and I had to click it a second time. I haven't been using this very long, so I'm guessing that's attributed to RF interference from my other desktop keyboard. This is only a minor nuisance so far for me.
(note: I tried the mouse later on a second time with both XP and Vista, and it was very fluid and responsive)
The mouse is small and narrow - about half the size of a normal mouse. Movement for its size is tolerable, but I have to lift my hand off of the mouse and hold the thing by the tips of my fingers to use the scroll wheel or click buttons. I suppose its size is useful when sitting at a small desk or small coffee table.
The USB/transceiver's cap does not snap onto the back end of the transceiver, making the cap easy to lose when connected to a PC.
As for Vista compatibility, both keypad and mouse are working with Vista on my Dell Inspiron laptop.
I didn't have problems with the keypad reported by other reviewer(s), but I did notice that due to keypad size, it is sometimes possible to press two keys at the same time. Otherwise, I didn't experience any negative aspects using the keypad.
In summary, this is a great value for travelers on the go. Everyday desktop users will not like the small mouse.

Logitech Cordless Desktop Keyboard, Mouse, and Stereo Speakers Review

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.

Kensington 64379 PilotBoard Wireless USB/PS2 Desktop Mouse, Keyboard, Detachable Wrist Rest (PC/Mac) Review

Kensington 64379 PilotBoard Wireless USB/PS2 Desktop Mouse, Keyboard, Detachable Wrist Rest (PC/Mac)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was only looking for the keyboard but couldn't find it without the set. This review is for the keyboard only since I haven't tried the mouse and don't plan to. I'm quite happy with the mouse I already have.
I have used this keyboard for only 2 weeks. This is a first impressions review, not a long-term one.
I am a programmer by profession and my Dell keyboard was getting old, noisy and needed increasingly more pressure on the keys. After doing personal research in several stores (Best Buy, Office Depot, etc) I decided that this was the keyboard. I purchased it on Amazon from tech_for_less_inc and was quite happy to pay 1/2 the price of the stores and receive my product with no troubles.
The winner for me on this keyboard are the keys themselves. They are very quiet compared to many other keyboards and require less pressure also. As expected, the layout is full-sized QWERTY so no issues there. Other nice features are the low profile and the NEXT/BACK buttons that you can use by shifting your pinky finger over when using the web browser. I don't use the other buttons too much but I can say that they are set up in a logical and aesthetically pleasnig fashion that doesn't get in the way of normal typing operation.
I have a few cons to speak of. None are all that irritating but worth mentioning. (1) I have yet to find any application in which I can use the scroll button on the left. Supposedly it lets you scroll in things like documents and web pages but it doesn't seem to work for me. (2) The "log off" button at the top left of the keyboard is useful to log all the way out of your user account (i.e. on Windows, such as what I use here at work). I had different expectations though, as I thought it would take me to the screen which allows me to switch users, not log me off completely. (3) Again, the log off button: it is a little close to the ESC key. I use the VI editor where the ESC key is used a lot. A few times now I have hit the log off button by mistake instead of the ESC key. I anticipate that with a bit more practice, this won't be an issue any more.
Despite the cons, I give this 5 stars because it met or exceeded the expectations that are important to me for picking out a keyboard.

Just when I thought that my set was pretty darn awesome I decided to throw away the box. I only had it for like 3 days. After crumpling the box and throwing it away, IMMEDIATELY my keyboard started acting funny! Ironic eh? It goes in spurts of registering keys. Here is some of what it did while I was writing to my brother:
I had to [get wireless] 'cause my cords hang by my feet nd Ikeep kicking htme
Ma, i sware itregisters osme keys ooner than othersto
Whih auses me to hit backspe which of ourse dosn't work1

So that sucks... Right now it's working just fine again... My computer has 3GB of RAM and a 2Ghz Processor with 2Ghz Bus speed so I don't think it's my computers fault... All in all, I'm not too happy with it any longer!

Rocketfish Wireless Multimedia Bluetooth Keyboard and Laser Mouse Review

Rocketfish Wireless Multimedia Bluetooth Keyboard and Laser Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This bluetooth (wireless) keyboard / mouse combo is sold retail by Best Buy. You can get refurbished ones on eBay and through Amazon merchants. I purchased a refurbished one, and was happily surprised to find it in brand-new condition and in the original packaging.
The package includes a bluetooth keyboard which uses two "AA" batteries, a mouse which uses two "AA" batteries, a bluetooth USB dongle, a manual, a CD containing the driver software for Windows, and four "AA" batteries.
The keyboard is full-sized (actually a smidge larger than my desktop computer's keyboard), has a very solid feel, and is a bit heavier than I expected. It has the usual keyboard setup with a separate numerical pad, arrow keys grouped by themselves, Help/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn in a group, 15 function keys across the top, and the Esc key in the upper left corner. It has a "Windows" key to the left of the spacebar. It also has 10 programmable keys running along the left and right sides of the keyboard, plus a full-width wrist rest. On the underside (which is bright red), it has the usual two legs along the top edge and a "connect" button (used to initiate syncing with the bluetooth-USB dongle or directly with the computer if it supports bluetooth). There is no visual indication if the caps lock or num lock keys are on. There is a single LED in the upper-right corner of the keyboard that flashes red when the batteries are low, or red/green when it is attempting to do a bluetooth pairing.
The mouse is a little bigger and heavier than a typical desktop mouse. On the top, it has the usual left, right and middle/scrollwheel buttons. The scrollwheel can be tilted left/right, plus there are additional buttons on the mouse's crown with "play" , "next", "prev", and "stop" icons on them. There is a bluetooth "connect" button recessed on the bottom of the mouse.
The USB-bluetooth dongle is provided to allow computers without built-in bluetooth capability to connect (pair) with the keyboard and mouse. It has a small "connect" button on the end, and a blue LED that flashes to indicate activity and flashes rapidly to indicate the dongle searching for the keyboard and mouse.
I was able to pair both the keyboard and mouse with a Mac Mini both with and without the dongle. In addition, I was able to pair both the keyboard and mouse with a PS3 both with and without the dongle. In all cases, the pairing was easy, and I did not need to install any driver software on the Mac or PS3. To pair with the dongle, simply plug the dongle into the computer's USB port, turn on the computer so the dongle is getting power, press the "connect" buttons on the dongle, mouse, and keyboard, and wait a few seconds. The LEDs on the keyboard and mouse will flash red/green, and the LED on the dongle will flash rapidly, then all three will stop flashing. After this, the keyboard and mouse should "just work". To pair with a computer (or PS3) directly without the dongle is more involved, and generally involves telling the computer to search for bluetooth devices, then pair with the keyboard (this will probably involve typing a code on the keyboard that the computer provides) and the mouse (which should happen without any additional actions by you).
The range of the keyboard and mouse appear to be at least 10 feet (the distance from my PS3 to where I sit). They both work well and without any glitches or surprises so far. I haven't owned them long enough to comment on battery life.
Overall, this package is an excellent deal for the price I paid.

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser (967558-0403) Review

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser (967558-0403)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned every top of the line Logitec cordless keyboard/mouse combo's since they began making them.. about 3 years ago. I'm not stating top of the line out of ego but more to let you know that I havent owned the more economical packages they have to offer and cannot comment on how they compare.
The previous version I owned was called the MX700. It was a cordless optical mouse and cordless keyboard that use FM to communicate to a base station/charging station for the mouse. They keyboards all use AA batteries. Funny thing was the first iteration of logitec keyboards took 6 batteries then they learned a little and the newer revisions only took 2.
The MX5000 brings in a few techie changes:
Laser tracking on the mouse
Added bells and whistles to the keyboard
Bluetooth communication and simpler interface to the computer
I just picked this up 4 days ago so I'm not really sure what all the extra stuff on the keyboard is for. But its back up to 4 batteries now. There is an on keyboard LCD display (non-color) that shows its status and other stuff. Lighted sliderbars and media player controls on the left side. This kit is pretty much the top of the line keyboard/mouse setup you can buy today.
Things I like:
Laser mouse tracking seems to have a higher DPI rate (accuracy) over the old MX700
Onboard mouse battery power meter
Bluetooth connection plug is much better than the old ps2/usb connectors.
Updated tilt/scroll mouse, back fwd browser nav thumb buttons.
General functionality of keyboard/mouse can be attained in Windows XP without installing drivers (I hate installing drivers when I dont need to and load my systray with junk programs)
It all just plain looks cool.
Things that kind of bother me but still ok:
The keyboard seems to have a sleep mode thats fairly short. I havent timed it but it seems like 30 seconds to 1 minute. It saves battery life but the fist key you type is delayed around 1/2 a second and you can notice the delay between keypress and when it registeres. Could be a problem if you're playing a game and use more mouse than keyboard.
Rechargeable mouse batteries are no longer easily accessable. On the MX700 version, I had to replace the rechargeable AA batteries after using it for 5 months. With the new battery meter, i can more accurately guess when I need to put the mouse on the charger so I can do a better job of charging (rechargeable batteries die after so many charges).
From the previous sets that I owned, I normally wear the mouse out in about 8 to 9 months and thats with one battery refresh. The keyboards seem to have no issue whatsoever and I never even have to replace the Duracel Alkaline batteries that come with it out of the box. Its always the mouse that I have the problems with. The recharge contacts become corroded. Sometimes the plastic around them gets warped from heat during the charge processess. The plastic guide feet on the bottom all wear completely off. The silver finish on the top of the mouse always wears down to bare black plastic.
Keep in mind though, I use my computer an average of 3500 to 4000 hours a year. So I am very hard on mice.
To sum it all up, I really like this keyboard/mouse combo. I like everything about it except the non-serviceable mouse battery and they short keyboard sleep delay. I think the majority of people that buy this setup, will never run in to the problems I do so you can consider this a 5 star product. Honestly, I dont really use any of the other offerings. I've seen them at the store, but the similiar offering from Microsoft, i hate the way the mouse feels. Actually I really dont like the way anyone elses mice feel. Plus, for cool factor.. Who else makes a laser mouse??? Sure it doesnt have any higher DPI resolution than the next down Logitec optical, but who cares.. Its like sharks with laserbeams!

Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 710 Laser Review

Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 710 Laser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I admit, I'm brutal on keyboards. I work long hours from home and type quite fast so a keyboard tends to wear out after a relatively short period of time due to the constant absue I inflict on it. Everyone always gets a kick out of my keyboards with the keys worn smooth and few if any letters left on them. So far this one has handled my abuse quite well. I am impressed.
Combined with the fact that I am female and don't have large hands, keyboard/mouse selection is more limited for me. What I mainly look for in a keyboard is size (not too small, not too large) and it must not have a huge mouse. Keyboards nowadays are getting larger and larger complete with software that bogs down and tries to run your computer. Plus, I can't stand a huge keyboard taking up my desk space. Also, in case you noticed, mice are getting funkier looking as ever lately. There is only so much that can be done for ergonomics...so now they are trying to go stylish too.
When I picked up this keyboard off the shelf to test (it was about the 30th model I tried) I was instantly in love with it. My hands fit perfectly on the keyboard with my palms resting just on the front edge. With an overall depth of 7.5 inches it didn't hog up my desk either. Slim-line design without being compact.
Within a few days of purchase and use I started messing around with the options it has. Wow! I'm sold. I would have paid double for this keyboard. I like being able to adjust my audio by simply pressing one of 3 audio buttons on the top front (lower, mute, higher) and the email button right below that opens my Outlook for me. The magnifying glass brings up a side window with Google. But it doesn't end there - on the far right of the keyboard are 5 keys which have been streamlined into the design so you barely notice they are there - all for music. With one touch - my music player opens. The other buttons are for shuffling, next, back, and play/pause. Sweet!
On the other side of the keyboard are 5 other buttons similar to those - to do with picture editing. I haven't played around with those yet..but am looking forward to. Also there are special function buttons to use...then again I don't like installing companies software on my computer so I haven't experimented with those yet either. Maybe in due time.
This last one may seem a bit silly...but it's a darn good idea! The most common keyboard shortcuts are printed on the SIDE of the keys. So for instance, the keyboard shortcut for REDO is CTRL+Y. On the CTRL key is a little diamond and on the side of the Y key is a diamond with the word REDO. So at a glance if you forget a shortcut...it's there for you. Smart idea.
As I have a laptop as my main computer for now...I use this keyboard as an add-on. It's overall size and design allows me to put it in my laptop backpack bag with all my other gear and travel as I wish with ease for the ultimate work-on-the-go experience. I have not had ANY connection issues with this set unlike some other brands I've tried including my Microsoft Bluetooth set (major $$$ and a big disaster).
The mouse - simple, but quite functional too. It doesn't look like anything special. But it works quite well. Not too much...not too little. The scroll wheel works fine and the mouse precision is excellent (what you would expect from a laser). I have not had any surface issues with this one yet - and I do not use a mouse pad.
My only complaint I've had with this set is so minor it's barely mentionable. They moved my END key. As I am used to typing without looking at the keyboard when I reach for the END key it's not there. :) I'm sure within another month or so I'll be used to it...just irritated me for the first few days.
I give this set 5 stars hands-down. If I see it on sale I will for sure buy another one - with 4 computers in our house they will be replaced by this model one by one!

Logitech MX3200 Cordless Desktop Laser (Black) Review

Logitech MX3200 Cordless Desktop Laser (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
------------------- Review edited: May 30, 2006 ----------------------
EDIT: Downrating from 4 to 2 stars.
Reason: Durability and longevity.
Rough timeline:
P = Purchased product
P + 1 month = One key stuck, went away
P + 3 months = A few keys starting to stick
P + 5 months = One button is completely stuck
P + 6 months = Keyboard died completely. No amount of battery changes, receptor/keyboard refreshes, driver reinstallation, etc would bring it back to life. I'm starting to become disenchanted by wireless products. I've already replaced the wireless mouse with a wired one, and I'm debating doing so with the keyboard. I might give Microsoft keyboards a chance.
--------------------- Original review below -------------------------
My girlfriend gave this keyboard to me as a gift set with the HP f2105 monitor (which I have also reviewed). I ended up attaching my laptop to a dock and closing it, and generally use this logitech keyboard and mouse with the monitor.
The mouse is excellent - it is nearly the same as the MX600 laser mouse I used previously, except that it does not have the e-mail and instant messaging buttons that were on the MX600. It has also has a darker tone. The keyboard is great, though it doesn't have as nice of a "spring-back" as some other keyboards. Even so, I think it works excellently. The extra features are, once again, nice to have, though the dynamic search and zoom on the left side is very easy to activate. It is somewhat annoying to have my text zoom to 400% when I merely brush my sleeve across my keyboard. To solve this, I ended up uninstalling SetPoint. Less drivers, less headache. Nyways, who needs all those buttons? They are nice to have and use, but I believe that most people will end up forgetting about them after the first few days of excitement. The glossy black trim along the top, bottom, and left side are very attractive, and while they are fingerprint magnets, I never touch those areas much, so they stay pretty. (My sleeve also helps polish the glossly black finish on the dynamic search and zoom, so I never need to worry about that side).
All in all, a great keyboard, even though I just noticed that the volume down image is slightly off-printed on my keyboard. No biggie. Thanks Amazon Reviews, for helping me find all the previously unnoticed imperfections in my products.
Highly recommended.

Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110 (967561-0403) Review

Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110 (967561-0403)
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 967743-0403 OEM Internet 1500 Laser Cordless Desktop Review

Logitech 967743-0403 OEM Internet 1500 Laser Cordless Desktop

The mouse functions perfectly, but the F keys (F1-F12) on the keyboard rarely work. I searched Logitech's troubleshooting forum and found that I am not the only one who has this problem with this model. Logitech suggested connecting the receiver to a different USB port, which worked twice for me, but has never helped since. Now the F keys do not work at all. This is terrible for me because I need the F keys for games. Also, I can no longer startup while holding F8 to bring up the startup menu and disable driver signature enforcement to make some programs work (such as PeerGuardian 2) with Vista 64-bit. Looking back, I would definitely buy a different mouse+keyboard combo.

Kensington PilotBoard Laser Wireless Desktop Set 64390 Review

Kensington PilotBoard Laser Wireless Desktop Set 64390
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A lot of reviewers are confusing this model (64390) with the older model (64385) and it's not a fair comparison! The newer model addresses all the problems of the previous version and is actually an excellent product. Yes, the 64385 did drop signals and act erratically, but the new one repaired that problem. The "missed keystrokes" have also been dealt with in this new version of the Laser Wireless Desktop.
It's unfortunate that the two models are cosmetically identical, but believe me: As an owner of both versions, I found a HUGE improvement going from the old model to this 64390 version of the set.
Anybody who has the older one and a receipt to prove it should call Kensington and get it replaced with this one under their excellent 5-year warranty. That's how I got the new model, and it was worth the effort.
High praise to Kensington for hearing the customer complaints and dealing with the issues with the original model of this keyboard.
UPDATE 01/04/10 ~ I have to lower the rating on this device because of a troubling policy choice at Kensington. It seems they have no intention of supporting Windows Vista or Windows 7, and have no plans to release updated software to take advantage of the advanced features on this desktop set. What that means is that you can't assign any of the multimedia keys, alter what the additional mouse buttons do, or set any macros. Windows 7 does support some of the extra keys natively, but you have no control over what they do. You're stuck with the default Windows functions. That means the media player button will ONLY launch Windows Media Player. The left-side mouse buttons will ONLY work for web browser Back/Forward. Some of the media keys don't work at all, and the ones that do only launch native Windows OS applications.
Frankly, I have to withdraw my former statement of high praise for Kensington customer support. This desktop set is still on the market, still being sold, and yet they do not support the current or last-generation Windows operating system? That's irresponsible, and especially unfair to those who purchased the keyboard & mouse, and then later upgraded their operating system. It's as if Kensington thinks that we're going to just stop using a perfectly good device set, and rush out to buy their newest product because they've decided to cease supporting this one.
Well, that ain't happening.
I have since dropped the keyboard in favor of a Microsoft model. At least with MS I know the software support for a new operating system will be there. I still use the mouse from this set on occasion, but I'm quite unhappy with Kensington's choice to make it difficult to map the mouse buttons by failing to support Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Kensington made a save for a while, but now they've completely dropped the ball and managed to insult and belittle their customers with this ill-thought plan. You can't tell me that Windows Vista/Windows 7 software couldn't be written for this desktop set; They just don't want to allocate the resources toward doing it because they want people to buy their latest offering. It's a bad marketing decision, and because of the lack of support such a short while after the product hit the market, I'm not buying another Kensington product. Who knows when they'll decide to stop supporting their next toy?
Way to lose a customer, Kensington.

Logitech EasyCall Desktop Review

I am so impressed with the quality of each of the components in this desktop. The mouse is really top notch: precise and very comfortable in the hand. The keyboard has smooth buttons and is a pleasure to type on. The speakerphone itself is heavy and high quality. My one big gripe with this system was that it came with AIM and Yahoo messenger support only, and I am a Skype user. Most of the buttons for managing phone calls (initiate a call, end a call, online status, dial) were just not available to use with Skype, you can only launch Skype, but then you have to do everything else on screen with the mouse, which kind of defeats the whole reason why I invested in this desktop.
For whatever licensing reasons, these sets are only sold in Europe with Skype support. The good news is that there is an EASY hack to get native Skype support with this desktop system in the USA, and the solution is as follows (thanks to mstarmetro.net):
1. Make sure to go to the logitech site and download the latest release of the setpoint drivers for the desktop ending in "*br.exe" (Use the UK site to get a European download)
2. Run regedit (Program Files / Run... / Regedit ) then find / create a dword called VOIP in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\SetPoint
3. Set it to 1 and re-install SetPoint BR and Skype support will be included.
I LOVE this set now that it works seamlessly with Skype.

Logitech Internet 250 Desktop Vista Keyboard and Mouse Review

Logitech Internet 250 Desktop Vista Keyboard and Mouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was very pleased with this purchase. I wanted a keyboard and mouse that connected via PS/2 (old style plugs) instead of USB. The keyboard is well constructed and attractive without all the "bells & whistles" that I would not use anyway. The mouse also performs well and feels very comfortable in your hand. I have had good luck with quite a few Logitech products. If you want an excellent "no frills" keyboard and mouse which utilize the PS/2, plug type connection to free up your USB ports for other peripherals, I would highly recommend this product. It gets "two thumbs up" from me!

Logitech Wireless Desktop MK 300 Review

Logitech Wireless Desktop MK 300
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
OUT OF THE BOX
I own a Logitech C-BK16A Dual wireless keyboard and mouse. My first impression of the Logitech MK 300 is that the keys are full size; but the keyboard is thinner, lightweight and shorter in length and width. There are some tabs in the back we can open to prop the keyboard at an angle.
The receiver is small and bent to rest inconspicuously on the desktop tower out of my way. A direct line of sight is not necessary for the keyboard and mouse to work -- huge improvement over the Dual, which means I have a less cluttered desktop.
MK 300 is advertised as spill resistant, but I hesitate to test that claim.
SOFTWARE
Although the keyboard and mouse work right out of the box, I need to install the software to adjust the sensitivity of the mouse and flip the function of the mouse buttons. I couldn't do that from the Vista mouse control screen. The software is also necessary to control the function button assignments and the hotkey assignments.
The Logitech software has a keyboard encryption feature. I never really thought about that before, but now my keyboard is secure from the prying eyes of other computers.
KEYBOARD
The hotkeys give one touch control to the keyboard. At the touch of a button, I can download email or launch my browser or Google something.
While programming the hotkeys and function keys, I notice the calculator. I always need a calculator when working on my computer. I press it and one pops up immediately on the screen.
Also available is the PC power button. Push that and the FN key and the computer goes quickly to sleep. Do it again, and it wakes up.
The keys respond well to typing. Logitech advertises a quieter experience. I can still hear myself typing and banging the space bar, although it is more muffled compared to the Dual. I wouldn't pay that much attention to this normally, except that it was on the box and it made me take notice.
One thing I miss is MK 300 lacks a volume dial, a function available on my Dual keyboard. Volume is instead controlled by the hotkeys.
MOUSE
The mouse is where this package shines. It is lightweight, fits in both my left and right hands comfortably, slides along the desk smoothly. As for responsiveness, I didn't know responsiveness could be any better until I tried this mouse. The mouse glides like it's on butter and the cursor flows right with it.
It is a little difficult for me to highlight material that requires scrolling. The pointer is extremely sensitive and I find myself scrolling and highlighting an entire page. Moving the mouse back the other direction will have me overshoot my starting point. I haven't found a way to make the scrolling while highlighting less sensitive. My workaround is to zoom out, so that I don't need to scroll.
Zooming in and out is made easy on this system. Just press the CTRL key and roll the wheel on the mouse. Whatever page I'm viewing, whether website or document, is instantly enlarged.
Of course, the wheel and buttons on the mouse are also customizable via the Logitech software.
PROS:
+ customizable one touch control of many computer functions
+ advertised to be spill-resistant
+ receiver can be hidden, doesn't require a direct line of sight to the keyboard
+ no wires to get in the way
+ stroke encryption feature
+ mouse glides smoothly and is more responsive than any other mouse I've ever used
+ zooming is quick and easy
+ keys are full size but keyboard is more compact and lightweight
+ graphic intensive manual is easy to follow
+ comes with a 5 year warranty
CONS
- no volume control dial, must use hotkey
- highlighting material that requires scrolling is difficult
- need to install software (compatible with Vista and XP) for full functionality
SUMMARY
Not all keyboards are created equal. I spend a lot of time on my keyboard and I do appreciate many of the subtle improvements: no cords to get in the way, no unsightly receivers, quick access to a calculator, quick and easy zoom, a secured keyboard, smooth mouse control. It's an excellent package, the best wireless keyboard and mouse I've ever owned.

Inland Pro Wireless 2.4GHz Optical Mice Keyboard Combo Set Review

Inland Pro Wireless 2.4GHz Optical Mice Keyboard Combo Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been on the lookout for a decent wireless keyboard/mouse combo with reasonable range for a very long time. I tried couple of Microsoft 2.4Ghz before and a Logiech laser wireless keyboard/mouse combo as well. None of them could give me a decent 5 meter range for the keyboard. I was at Micro center and picked this up today. Install was a snap and the keyboard/mouse started working right-a-way from the desired range (my couch to TV) without any noticeable lag. I brought the pro set for about 30 dollars (which has some volume control keys etc on the keyboard) -but I think even the regular 2.4Ghz will work (which is 20 bucks). I will update my review once I see this work consistently for more than 2 weeks - but for now it seems to me that the price/performance can't be beat!.

I walked into Fry's today looking for a wireless keyboard/mouse to use with a large screen TV that has a computer attached.
The mini Siig is the perfect trade-off, compact but allowing you to type comfortably. One can use on the lap with the arms in relaxed side by side , left or right index clicking and right thumb rolling the trackball. All fingers seem to fall perfectly on the right places.
