User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Best Logitech Keyboard/Mouse Combo
Pros: One of the best keyboard/mice combo’s I’ve owned. Very small foot print, which is good if you have a small work space. Keys are very quiet and wrist pad is comfortable.
Cons: The mouse & keys on the keyboard could be a little bigger. The Setpoint software is (to put it nicely) is garbage.
Overview: I have 2 of these, one at work and home. Both went bad after a year. Logitech has a 5 yr warranty, shipped out 2 new sets within a week!
2 Stars Odd oversights
I bought this keyboard/mouse combo because I get a burning sensation in my fingertips when I use laptop touchpads. Unfortunately, with the mouse from this combo, I get a similar burning sensation in the thumb and forefinger. Admittedly, it could just be that I am particularly sensitve, although I’ve never had a problem with mice before.
I thought the problem might be the wireless transmitter in the mouse, so I tried a corded Logitech MX400 Laser mouse. I’m still getting the same sensation and I’ll have to get rid of this mouse too…
The mouse from the combo is too narrow for comfort (I have large hands). The forward/back buttons are in a really awkward position – can’t figure out the reasoning behind this design (or maybe it’s the length of my fingers that makes it so awkward).
Regarding the keyboard, I appreciate the light weight. Typing feels good. What is bothersome is the positioning of the delete-home-end-pageup-pagedown block. If you continue to use standard full-size keyboards, you’ll find the Logitech positioning to slow you down. This is especially the case if you’re using the keyboard in the dark.
The positioning of the media buttons on the outer edges of the keyboard means you will hit them unintentionally on occasion.
I didn’t find the lack of numlock/caplock indicators to be a problem. I have those indicators on my (HP) laptop, and they are activated by the mobile keyboard.
The combo did synch up right out of the box. Both the mouse and keyboard worked immediately – I never got around to installing the customization software.
4 Stars Great Product
I bought this item to once and for all get rid of cords on my desk. I had a wireless mouse already and was only looking for a wireless keyboard. But this provided the opportunity to use only 1 USB port for both peripherals and not worry about any interference between the two. One little mini USB receiver that plugs into an adapter (connected to a docking station in my case)on your desk out of the way or it can plug directly into your laptop. Very cool option. No problems installing it on my laptop (running XP). Had to get use to the slightly different layout of a few other keys on the keyboard (Home/End/PageUpDown/Delete) but other than that I love it. (I type >70wpm so had to retrain a couple fingers…)
4 Stars Solid Product
I have had this product for a couple months now. So far I would reccomend it for those wanting both a wireless keyboard and mouse.
The main negative thing I can think of is you really have to have decent line of sight with the sensor and your mouse and keyboard. I use a USB extention wire and put the sensor under my monitor and it works well. I also was not a fan of the redesign of the “F” keys as that took me a little bit of time to get use to. Having the side buttons are nice but they are slanted down and bump into things easily and it will mute your sound or pull up a music app depending on which one gets hit. I may be able to disable them, but have not really tried to figure that out.
They are durable as I have dropped both of them on the floor several times pretty hard and they have not broke. I also like the wrist rest built into the keyboard. It feels great! Hope this review helps!
4 Stars Decent Wireless Keyboard
This is a pretty decent wireless keyboard. I liked my previous one a little better because of the ergonomic keyboard. Keys are very quiet.
