2 out of 5 stars OK, but a couple of problems   December 8, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've had this for a couple of years, and in general it works OK, but I've had a couple of problems with it that you ought to know about.

1. My wife has a Logitech wireless mouse too, and I found that two such mice interfere with each other if used in the same room. So I went back to using a wired mouse.

2. Some of the keytops wear off with fairly heavy use (I'm a professional writer). After about six months, I find that several of my keys are completely blank (currently N, M, and L). So far, Logitech has given me free replacement keyboards twice, but it's rather a hassle. I haven't had this problem with any of the keyboards I used in the past. I'm a bit stuck for alternatives because I live in Spain, most of the available keyboards have the Spanish layout, and unfortunately Amazon UK won't send hardware to Spain.



4 out of 5 stars Good budget keyboard combo   April 29, 2008
My only gripes with this keyboard are
* The Logitech software is very intrusive and is forever checking for updates.
* There are no lights for caps lock or number lock, just an on-screen prompt when you switch them on
* The mouse isnt that accurate for some applications, i have upgraded to one of the MX Laser mice

Apart from that, the programmable keys are invaluable and the response time are both excellent compared to similar priced products from Microsoft or Belkin I have used in the past.



4 out of 5 stars good but not so stable   April 12, 2008
it's good for the price. but some times, it's not so stable, it likes to jump across the screen. not a major issue.


5 out of 5 stars Working well ... 1 month in   April 9, 2008

Wanted this to be able to work and surf from the sofa (lazy) and it does the job.

Good:
* range - I can type from a different room with this (pointless but only a test!)
* compatibility - works in usb or ps2 mode - works in both XP and Ubuntu (apart from extra software-programmable keys)
* Plug and Play - you can ignore setup CD unless you want programmable keys or OSD options
* Batteries - duracell supplied and still showing good (after 1 month)

Minor Gripes:
* slight variation layout of Insert Delete End - but it is logical
* still getting used to wheel-tilt gestures - good for forward/back but middle-click (tabbed browsing) is more tricky



1 out of 5 stars Not impressed at all!   March 5, 2008

I was used to the Dell-branded Logitech keyboards and mice that came with my last few Dell PCs and others I've used, so was expecting more of the same, if not better, with this "upgrade" from the basic stuff. Alas, it wasn't to be!
The mouse has awful accuracy and sometimes has to be moved around just to get it to move anywhere. Using something like Photoshop or using it for games is out of the question. It's being used on exactly the same surface as my previous mouse, by the way, which I never had a single problem with.
As for the keyboard, it's a plasticky affair with rattly keys, a couple of which (Num Lock and Insert) can be activated by literally touching them ever so lightly. Very annoying when you're trying to do spreadsheet work and the vibrations from using the numeric pad cause them to toggle on and off at will.
In summary, it could be that I've got a duff keyboard, but that doesn't make up for the poor performance of the mouse or the suspect build quality of the set as a whole. I can honestly say it's the worst keyboard and mouse I've used, and I've used a few!
And why is it that Logitech insist on rearranging the Home/End/Delete/PgUp/PgDn keys? It was the same on my last Logitech keyboard, but this one's different again!
Not recommended.
