Worse, if you learned to type the hard way, and therefore have your hands in an Officially Unapproved Position, you might find the image zooming or the volume going up up UP UP because your left pinkie is lolling about on the touch pad. Nine.-I have had only occasionally Bluetooth connection glitches, but I do get occasional runaway keys, watching helplessly as a Word document starts recording sssssssss or some other key, line after line after line. The mouse, as others have noted, is exxxxcellent-though as heavy as a Ford F150 pickup. Fortunately, you can disable this entire crappy whiz-bang element. As for this one, I will give it to my wife to see if she can get it running on the other end of the room with her Intel Mac. But since it's the same mouse that came with my previous keyboard, I now have two of them. ask me how I know.
So now I'm being overrun with mice. This Bluetooth combo is a replacement for my previous Logitech wireless combo, which I much preferred; in fact, I would have bought another if they still made them, but nooooo-we have to have a fancy touch-sensitive Media Control Panel these days instead of an analog dial you could spin to adjust volume and-gasp.-a MUTE button instead of a touch-it-and-wait-a-minute-okay-press-it-harder-maybe-it'll-work-then "touch sensitive" thing. And the one before THAT was just one generation back, the Laser 700. I will probably go back to the last-gen Logitech. I replaced it only because one of the feet broke off, so I had been using it balanced on a pile of mouse pads on one corner. Yes, and she has a bigger monitor than I do, too. One problem I have not figured out is the fact than when booting up, the PC will not respond to keyboard inputs: So much for accessing the BIOS or otherwise interceding during the launching process.
So far-six months, maybe.
I enjoy using the cordless mouse with my computer, I do not have to worry about the cord getting in the way when I want to turn away from the computer. I have not really used the key board enough to learn all the different features it has.
The keyboard had a sticky key and they sent me a new keyboard and mouse. The hardware reliability has been poor too.
The mouse does work great though and the keyboard has a neat calculator feature. This has not always been the case, but there has always been some connection issue and it can be 10 minutes and numerous power cycles of the keyboard until it gets resolved.
I dislike having to recharge it every couple days, I preferred replacing batteries a couple times a year. The shortcut keys on the keyboard are nice too, although the volume and zoom control are not useful to me.
Currently the keyboard will not reconnect after the computer restarts after going in standby. I was thrilled with the second mouse until it failed within a few weeks.
I had a wireless keyboard before and have never had such connection issues.
I've always been a big fan of Logitech products. But both seem to work well with my system. I found two faults with this system thus far. The programable hotkeys are nice if you have a lot of varying programs that you open and close a lot, and the volume/zoom controls are nice if you have it linked to an entertainment computer, becuase you can easily reduce or increase the volume or zoom with a quick slide of your hand. The second problem I have with it is the fact that there is no easy way to tell how much battery power the keyboard has. It's definatly not top of the line Logitech.
It's a good setup if you're not a computeraholic; but if you're an avid gamer or you tend to abuse keyboards/mice, I would advise against this setup. However, I find myself with mixed feelings about this product. The mouse is definatly of higher quality than the keyboard. I've found them to traditionally be high quality at a decent price. On the one hand, I would have to say that this keyboard and mouse are great for the average computer user who doesn't game a lot, but still wants a wireless experience.
It's not backlite, which makes it very hard to read unless there is direct light shining on it, and the "features" of the LCD screeen are nice in theory, but not very practical in dayily use. I suppose it's not a major problem in the grand scheme of things. First off, the LCD screen on the keyboard is pretty much a gimmick. Overall, I give this a 4 out of 5. I set it up on my home entertainment system, and it's working very well.
But I find it to be annoying nontheless.
Well but not everything is good, but considering that it was released in 2005, well to hell with that, this new features wasn't available or well managed at that time. AND NO LAGS or DELAYS. - Size of the keyboard is not standard and sometime for getting used to it is needed;. As my old keybord from a local manufactor that stared to show maufunction due to loss of contact. If you have mor money to expend, buy the 5500 set. It lasted almost 4 years (extreme gamer :)).
I changed it for a A4TECH model, one that says to be one of the winners of gamming mice the X7 model, well it is a good mice but FAR from beeing a exceptional mice, and it is wired. I'm a old logitech fan. It is a "old" set but HELL it is good. Almost everything is logitech and I might be influenced by that in this this review, but here it is. My final considerations.
Took me a little to acomodate my hand at the mice due to the weight, but one you master it, it goes smoth. It was great until the mouse button lossed its contact By living in Brazil, Logitech didn't gave me any support for fix it. The weight helps the hand not going flaying away the table. First to explain why to buy it. I also connected, WITH NO PROBLEM, a NOKIA E62 phone synchronized with out look and also browsed the Internet throught the bluetooth connection.
Well I bought this set a week ago, Yes in set 2008. Simple installation. If you want a wired free computer with a accessible price this is a good choice. I had, for a long time the first IR mouse from Logitech. I guess the folks that complain don't follow the manual. Playing STALKER with it was much better and controllable.
A really plug and play at XP SP2. - No backlight at the display or touched keys;. No wires at all. This small issues are:.
