Logitech MX 3200 Black 103 Normal Keys Cordless Standard Desktop Laser

Pros: This is def one of the best wireless desktops i have ever owned. Keys are extreeeeeeemely soft and quiet - actually takes getting used to but it feels great! Very slim and sleak. No connection issues or lag like with other Bluetooth desktops. Stick with the RF Wireless you wont regret it.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Mouse is very nice but not great. I am coming from a G7 Gaming Mouse with adjustable DPI settings. I got rid of it to have both the mouse and keyboard on the same USB receiever

Pros: +The mouse has me completely spoiled. Smooth and responsive, comfortable to use, and a wealth of programmable buttons, including back/forth buttons :), all perfectly positioned: easy to reach when you need them, hard to hit by accident. Very very smooth tracking; doesn't require much effort at all. It makes using other mice a pain. +Keyboard very good for typing; I like the soft (but responsive) keys, although they seem to be stiffer in a dusty room such as mine. +Lots of programmable hotkeys on the kb, as well as media keys. Calculator button is surprisingly useful, VOIP button can be used for IM client. +Zoom slider on kb; I don't use it that much but I don't find it gets in the way either, and I like the 100% button. +Cordless. +Mouse and kb feel sturdy; although I wouldn't try dropping them, I don't think they'll spontaneously break. +Stylish design, especially when paired with a black case, black monitor, black mousepad...but be warned that the kb shows dust very clearly.

Cons: My only real complaint--which takes it down an egg--is that the hotkeys on the kb aren't that great, and I bought this combo in part for the hotkeys. The F-keys double as shortcut keys; unfortunately, the FN key (to activate shortcuts) is on the opposite side of the kb from the shortcut F-keys, making it almost impossible to hit them one-handed. There is no F-lock key (not a problem, altho it wouldn't hurt to have one). Standalone hotkeys, including media keys, form a continuous row below the LCD, so they're tough to find by feel. Since the hotkeys are angled back slightly they're also tough to see w/o looking directly at them. They're useable but can be tricky--it's easy to hit the wrong key. (Hotkeys along the side are easy to see and don't have this problem.) Also, you don't have 100% control over programming keys/buttons; for some reason I can't set certain keys to certain features. It's not a big deal but I don't understand why there are any restrictions at all.

Overall Review: I'd really give this a 4.5--5 for the mouse, 4 for the keyboard. The mouse alone wouldn't justify the price, but it's still the best mouse I've ever used. (note: mouse is not for lefties, sorry.) The keyboard is better as a keyboard than stock boards, and while the hotkeys have issues they're still plentiful and useful. Overall recommended. One technical problem: occasionally, the horizontal scroll on the mouse wheel will get "stuck" to the left (even when I don't use it), pulling the cursor irresistibly to the left and making typing impossible--everything comes out backwards. Disconnecting and reconnecting the receiver fixes it but I wish I knew why it happened in the first place.

Pros: Wireless; good to very good mouse accuracy, dynamic search function. Highlight text in your browser, click the magnifying glass button, and it opens a new tab/window and does a default search engine search for that word/phrase. Most excellent for the lazy. :)

Cons: Zoom bar on keyboard is annoying and frequently gets bumped, and so far I've found no way to turn it off. I need to give Logitech a call and ask about this. The scroll wheel on the mouse has a little side-to-side play and has a metallic "spring" sound if I brush it, but this is a minor annoyance. It'd be nice if the sleep button was a little more recessed, or at least not right next to the calculator button, but as long as I pay attention to what I'm doing, I don't accidentally put the computer to sleep (make a mistake once ...). The mouse does make a very faint buzz or hum when I move the cursor, but I only notice this when it's really quiet and I have all my case fans turned to "low." Come to think of it, I haven't noticed it once since I installed an additional case fan on the side port of my tower.

Overall Review: Overall, a good semi-budget-minded setup. The wireless is a huge improvement over the corded setup I dealt with last time I had a desktop. There have been some complaints of the keys being difficult to work with (hard to press just right, stroke accuracy as it relates to the KB layout, etc), but other than the standard learning curve associated with switching from a laptop KB back to a desktop KB, I have not had any issues. Battery life seems to be pretty good, though I haven't had it long enough to burn through a set. This combo is compatible with Windows 7, however a piece of software that comes with it is not yet, and there's no updates as of two months ago. Obviously, it's nothing special, and nothing I need (unless it shuts off that pesky zoom bar). Overall, this combo is a good option if you can't afford or don't want to spring for the MX 5500 Revolution.

Pros: Good wireless keyboard, I particularly like the calculator key. I play games on it all the time. Keys have nice tactile feel to them. USB dongle holder and cable extension is really needed for a desktop. It nice that you can use the USB receiver by itself for laptops. The mouse is Great. I did not realize just how useful the ZoomIn ZoomOut buttons would be. I always was a fan of the PageFoward PageBack buttons. The response tracking is very good. It fits the palm of my hand very nice.

Cons: The Mouse is designed for right hand. The LCD clock on the keyboard has no back-lite or better yet a photo-luminescent background, so it sometimes hard to read.

Overall Review: Never was a fan of the new Home,End, Insert, Delete, PageUp, PageDown key layout, but it hard to find good keyboards with the old layout nowadays. You can secure via encryption the keyboard wireless communications.

Pros: The keyboard seems to be more comfortable to type on than the other Logitech keybaords I've used. I think it's because the anti-bacterial plastic is a little less slippery that the usual plastic. I like the matt black finish and the subdued white letters on the keys. The wireless receiver works very well, never misses a beat. I have it plugged into the extension cable so that it's close because I had some trouble with it plugged directly into the back of my computer. The main reason I'm writing this is to brag on the mouse a little. I put the batteries in the mouse on the 20th of August and the little light has just now started to blink slowly. Ya cain't beat that with a stick. My last mouse (Logitech wireless) drained a pair of 1500 Mah rechargeble batteries in a week. I don't know what the Mah rating is on the 2 ordinary Duracell batteries in this one but almost 4 months is astounding and a welcome change.

Cons: The bells and whistles on this keyboard are about as useful to me as those on the others. The little optical slider on the left side was a pain for a while until I got used to it. Also the "F" keys are about half the size they are normally and I found myself hitting the tilde key when I wanted "esc". Last but not least, the mouse was hypersensative until I went out and bought a ten dollar mouse pad specially made for a laser mouse. The other mouses... mices worked on everything and anything but any surface other than the special mousepad makes the cursor on this one jump around like a flea on speed. I had the sensativity turned down all the way too. Even with the special pad the sensativity is way down but it works fine. Now all I need is more hand to eye coodination. Oh, and one more thing, the mouse's little feet are really slick.

Overall Review: I really like hot chocolate.

Pros: - Buttons and palm rests feel great to the touch, they're not the usual plastic buttons I'm used to from my past keyboards - Mouse feels great, doesn't feel too small or large, and the extra buttons are a nice touch, though I'm not entirely sure how much I'll use them - LCD screen is a very nice feature! Definately is nice to have when I'm doing full screen gaming and want to know what time it is - I like the fact the palm rest is integrated into the keyboard, that's definately a nice feature for me as my last keyboard had a detachable palm rest that I can't use currently because I'm typing from my lap, not a desk - Seems to have very good reception, though the keyboard is probably a foot and a half from the receiver and the mouse is a couple of feet from it. No noticable lag yet!

Cons: - Kinda pricey, definately the most I've EVER spent on a keyboard and mouse combo - Like another reviewer said, the media keys are kinda small and this will definately take some getting used to, as my last keyboard was a Dell that had a twist knob to control the volume - Lettering/wording pops up on screen to indicate you've pressed the CAPS key or turned up the volume, which is annoying, but I'm sure with some research I can find a way to disable that. - The software included, and update to the keyboard software I just installed, actually change your default sound to a Digital output. See Other Thoughts for the fix! - Insert key moved from it's usual slot amongst Home, End, etc keys to between F12 and Print Screen. This will definately throw people other than myself off for a while.

Overall Review: When I discovered I couldn't hear any sound from my headphones/speakers after installing the keyboard software, I did some googling and found out that the software actually changes your default speaker output setting. Someone suggested installing the newest software update from the Logitech site, which I did, but I still had to go back and manually change the sound back. This is how I did it in Vista 64bit: 1. Access Start and then Control Panel. 2. Select Sound from Control Panel and then look at the Playback tab. 3. I have Realtek audio, so my Default sound had been changed to "Realtek Digital Output" by the software, which unless you don't have Digital speakers, will cause no sound to come out. I selected the setting "Speakers" as "Set Default" and viola! Sound once again! The process is similar in XP. Hope that helps anyone who may be having an issue!

Pros: Cool design! Worked when I first booted my computer with the BIOS setup, didn't even have to install the drivers first! Nice onboard LED's.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Still trying to learn how to use all the extra features

Pros: Works great on an old XP machine of mine. No need to install drivers for the keyboard or mouse to work. Looks really nice and sleek.

Cons: Says the LCD will display battery info, but I can't get it to display. There is no real documentation about how to operate the LCD included or on the website.
