Pros: Beautiful design, for lack of better words this is down right sexy. I’ve yet to encounter a better feel to the keys, they have the right resistance and layout. It’s a clean design, my HP tablet PC sits on a docking station and has built-in blue tooth, so I don’t even need the dongle it comes with.

Cons: I read all the reviews concerning the mouse lag and went ahead and bought it anyway. I should have listened to other New Egg customers. I owned the previous blue tooth model (the non-laser version) and was extremely satisfied with it (that one gets 5 stars from me) so I purchased the new model with high expectations only to be disappointed with it’s range. I’m not sure if the problem is with the mouse or with the blue tooth dongle they provide. This new mouse does not have user replaceable batteries, so when they go (probably in a year or two) I’m going to find myself having to through this away :-(

Other Thoughts: If you are planning to use this for a Media Center computer, go online and find the older blue tooth version of this (non-laser). That one works great, this new one blows and you will experience the mouse lag that everyone is talking about. If you are planning to use this for an office application (where the range is not important) then you will love this product. Having the ability to use regular AA batteries once the built-in one no longer hold a charge would have been a customer-pro design, versus filling their own interest in selling you a new mouse in a year or two.

Pros: Great design, appealing, and awesome keys.

Cons: only one thing, the mouse. i originally bought this keyboard/mouse to replace the diNovo Cordless Desktop i already owned. my computer is actually several feet away from my desk which meant i had to have a usb extension cord so that the RF signal would reach. i thought w/ bluetooth i wouldn't have to worry about the extension any more since bluetooth has a working distance of 30. keyboard and media work perfectly. the mouse on the other hand had to be within a certain range to work properly (3 feet or so). ended up returning it and staying w/ my diNovo Cordless Desktop

Other Thoughts: the keyboard and color nothing like the picture. the picture shows the same color as the diNovo Cordless Desktop but is actually darker

Overpriced Junk

Pros: Cordless. Keyboard contains the entire alphabet. Media remote has been useful on occasion.

Cons: We'll just do this one part at a time:

Keyboard: Weak tactile response. Space bar requires way too much pressure to register. Frequently loses connection despite remaining only 3 feet from the bluetooth dongle.

10 Key pad: Powers down to save battery life, requiring you to wait a few extra seconds every time you need to use it. Still uses too much power and needs new batteries more often than the keyboard. Keys have been sticky (like someone spilled a soda into it) from day one.

Mouse: Purchased to replace aging Logitech MX1000 mouse that was having connection issues. This one drops far more often (and that's not counting the times when someone is using the microwave and it becomes completely unusable, but all of my bluetooth devices do that). Does not fit into the charger properly and takes entirely too much effort to set the mouse in the charger just right so it will actually begin charging. Batteries die much faster than my 4 year old MX1000.

Other Thoughts: It would have been nice if there had been a way to attach the 10 key pad to the keyboard or at least add the fold down legs so it can be angled like the keyboard.

Also, the rubber coating below the keyboard and 10 key pad look nice as long as you don't touch them, but will begin peeling if you look at them funny.

I expected a lot better from Logitech (especially considering the price).

Love Hate Relationship

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Looks great, slim width allows it to fit into small desk areas. Keypad does calc and media separate. Rechargeable Laser Mouse perfect fit for right handed. Looks very nice sitting on the desk with no wires "when it is new."

Cons: The most annoying thing is if you lose any one connection of the three devices for some reason the system reconnects everything from scratch. This means you have to wait and process screen after screen of connection approval for each of the three devices, one at a time. Of course nothing works until you complete this process of marrying each device to the wireless. I suppose this is for security - but it would be great if there was a way to turn it off for the single office / home user.

They used a thin plastic covering over parts of the keyboard and mouse. For the power user these areas will begin to peel off at the slightest wear, making your once impressive pristine devices begin to look rather ratty. Whatever you do - don't think you can remove this plastic layer once it starts to wear - as it is NOT like a protective shipping plastic that peels off. It is too bad too - as the plastic underneath looks like new but there is no way to get all the upper layer off.

Other Thoughts: Over the year that I have had this - I have been torn between loving it and hating it.

If you are casual PC user then this will be fine but for someone who sits in front of the computer most of the day you will find it annoying and getting in the way of your work.

In the end, after heavy use - what used to be a showpiece will end up looking a bit ugly. That is just not right for this kind of money.

To be fair - Logitech did send me a complete replacement unit when I reported the plastic issues - but now that newer one is also looking rather beat up less than six months later. It is nice having the two mice - one in the charger while one is in use - however the plastic does peel off the mouse too.
