Summary: Great
Review: I like the layout of the keyboard. I can't type on regular keyboards anymore. I've had the cordless freedom pro for over 3 years, and bought this one to match my new system. I am a little disappointed about the optical mouse, it is not as precise as the wheel mouse, but thats not a big deal. The keyboard is still awesome. That was my main concern.

Summary: Great product, software needs updating
Review: I ordered this keyboard to replace my Adesso, which became obsolete when I bought my new G5; and it is indeed terrific: however, the software that comes with it was terrible; I thought I was going to have to send it back, because the characters were all wrong, until I thought to go to the Logitech website and download a new driver. That one worked, and my keyboard and mouse both are great, atlhough without the wonderful ergonomic touch of the Adesso. Thanks to all those who gave this product reviews, it really helped me make the decision.

Summary: Good But...
Review: I really like the Cordless Comfort Duo.

Pros:
Smooth as butter scroll wheel
Great key action on keyboard
Wireless is great

Cons:
Can't program iTouch keys for simple commands e.g. minimize all, open My Computer
home-end
ins--pgup
del--pgdn
keys very akwardly arranged
Mouse is largeish
Mouse buttons are not big enough from left to right. I can't use my ringfinger with this mouse like I could with my trackman marble.
The buttons to the right of the spacebar are too small.

The mouse has been somewhat unreliable at a range of 4 feet through a thick wooden desk.

Granted I love this set, but there are a lot of nits to pick.

Summary: No flaws comfort. What these devices SHOULD be.
Review: I'd been wanting to get an ergonomic keyboard for some time, as I type an awful lot and I thought I'd give it a try. I found this Logitech combo (Logitech's a name I've used and found dependable) that was cordless to boot, and perfectly competitive price-wise with wired devices from other makers. I couldn't be happier. I can't believe I waited so long to go ergo, and to go cordless for that matter (well, cordless headphones still suck). This combo has worked flawlessly for me. The software is just perfect, letting me adapt all buttons on mouse and keyboard to my needs--on a Mac no less, the last, and only, bastion of one-button mouse design. I tested the keyboard to see how well I could send commands from a distance. I was amazed to find that not only did it work wihout a hitch at 6 feet or more, but also even facing in the opposite direction against a wall. I think these products prove beyond a doubt that cordless input devices have finally made it--prove to me at least for sure. Highly recommended.

Summary: Nice and smooth
Review: I'd like to submit, simply, that I'm very pleased with this combination. I've read these reviews, and it seems to me that the whiners are nitpicking. The mouse is *better* than my "wired" mouse: more responsive, smoother. I'll hang in and find out about battery life, but it's so smooth and nice, I'm not too trepidatious about keeping this thing in batteries. It's so nice to finally be able to sit back and type! Take care, techies!

Summary: Excellent keyboard - Wish it came with the trackman
Review: I'm buying my 3rd Logitech Cordless Duo Pro/Comfort Duo, not because they wear out, because once you get used to it you'll refuse to switch back. I have one for home and one for work (had to buy my own...the cheapskates, now I'm buying one for my mother's computer for when I'm working on it. My only wish was that it came with the Cordless Trackman. I have to buy it separately but it works off the same receiver or you could use it in addition to the mouse.

I'd like to address some of the other comments:
Yes, the keyboard feet do collapse but I just whittled and glued some feet on it to my personal angle.

So they changed the "standard" layout of the keyboard buttons, once you get used to it all the other keyboards are "wrong." It's just a matter of what you're familiar with.

Summary: nice but not very functional
Review: I've been using the original MS Natural keyboard for years and I love it. But I wanted to go wireless so I bought this set. Unfortunately, it falls far short of being functional. Overall, the keyboard and mouse have a nice solid feel to them. The keyboard especially has a nice feel to the keys. Reception has not been a problem at all.

Here are the problems:

Keyboard:
1. The strangely laid out home/end/pg up/pg down/insert/delete keys that everyone has mentioned.
2. In order to conserve space, the different key pads are placed uncomfortably close together. The letter keys, the home/end/cursor keys and the numeric keypad are so close together that they are almost one continuous keypad. This makes it difficult, tactily, to move from one set of keys to another. This sort of defeats my purpose, which was to buy a full-sized keyboard for my laptop. For instance, when I use the page up/down keys, I have to be careful not to press on the numeric keys. These are not things I need to be thinking about when I am touch-typing.
3. Again, a space-saver issue. They have brought the function keys right down on top of the letter keypad and the scroll-lock/print scr/pause keys down right on top of the numeric keypad. I use the numeric keypad a lot and because they have basically added a 6th row of keys at the top, my hand is always positioned on the wrong keys and I'm typing all the wrong characters. Same with the function keys, which I also use a lot. Not only are they right on top of the number keys of the keyboard, they have these sort of random spaces between them, which again, makes them very difficult to use when touch-typing. With this keyboard, I've been forced to resort to hunt-and-peck typing a lot.
4. One last negative. Yet again, a space saver issue. The right shift key has been reduced to nearly a "normal" letter-key size in order to squish the cursor keys right up against the letter keyboard. This makes the "enter" key stick way out past the shift key. And again, tactily, I constantly end up pressing Enter instead of Shift because the shift is a good 3/4 inches in from the end of the Enter key.

Mouse:
1. Huge mouse. Not good for small hands, which I have. It is also a right-handed only mouse. So if you're a lefty, you're out of luck. I'm not a lefty but I mostly use my left hand for the mouse and I switch to my right, when my hand get's tired. It is nice to have that versatility.

I suppose once you get used to these inconsistencies, it would be an adequate keyboard. But I wonder why I should have to relearn to type to suit Logitech's quirks? P>The one thing that the old MS Natural keyboard and that none of these new split keyboards have is the reversed "stand" (can't think of a better word) where it tilts the keyboard AWAY from you rather than toward you like they all do now. When the keyboard is tilted away, it is much much much more comfortable. I have seen other people mention this as well. I wonder why they did away with that excellent feature. Right now I've propped up the Logitech with a piece of wood under the wrist pad. Makes a world of difference.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great choice for wireless combo!
Review: I've tried several different wireless combos, and this is by far the best for the price. I would recommend that you do not install the software that comes with the package, as it's not needed. Just plug it all in, reboot and you're set! Good tactile feedback on keyboard, and the mouse is comfortable, unless you're a lefty, in which case this won't work... They make a lefty kit, so go for that instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Product
Review: Its The Best decision to buy this.
My hands & fingers are very happy for this.
If you care for quality, Just get this one.
