Logitech's combination is very cool. The curvy keyboard is very comfortable and easy to use, especially with the ergonomic wrist pad, and looks good on the desk. The media keys are useful, and the volume control wheel has a nice clunky feel. The application switcher is really handy- much better than using Alt-Tab. The mouse has a bulbous front that takes a bit of getting used to, but is comfortable enough. The best feature is that the mouse has rechargeable batteries, and the base station doubles up as a mouse charger. In my opinion, this sets this product streets ahead of the competition.

The software is easy enough to use- it just works. It is easy enough to assign tasks to the custom buttons and to set up your favourite media player to wire into the media controls.

One disadvantage of this product is that the mouse backwards/forward buttons located on the side are sensitive, and it is easy to press them by mistake, as they are right by the thumb. Obviously this makes them useless if you use the mouse in your left hand.

However, my big problem with this product, and the only reason that I cannot give it 5 stars is that Logitech have really annoyingly reconfigured the layout of the Insert/Delete/Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys. I have been used to the standard layout of these keys and touch-type with them. This has caused a lot of frustration, especially with the bizarre double-sized delete key which has an annoying habit of being pressed more often than it should be. Why such a destructive key needs to be so big is just bizarre.

So, in summary: great product but it is really worth trying before you buy to make sure that you are happy with its little quirks.
