Summary: great product, works for Linux
Review: I love this product. It's very easy to set up. It has both the USB interface and the conventional PS2 keyboard/mouse interfaces. I get it work with both my Linux box (vis PS2 port) and Windows box (using USB) without any hassle.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't buy if using other system than windows
Review: I own the Logitech Cordless Navigator Duo since about 6 month now.

First the good news:
The mouse is great, it's ergonomic, has two buttons plus the wheel which incorporates a third button. The handling of the mouse is very nice and precise, it works on almost any surface.

The bad news:
I am running a variety of operating systems: Windows 2000, DOS, Gentoo Linux and BeOS. The keyboard does ONLY work as it is supposed to with Windows and DOS. All the other systems are a nightmare with this keyboard. The so-called "ghost letters" appear constantly. This means that when I am typing in any software, letters appear which I did not type, on it's own. In my case it's the "q" letter. On other occasions it's just a space. This mostly happens when I use the backspace key--the keyboard inserts a space on it's own.
This really is a nightmare if you regulary write emails etc., the only work-around is to use the delete-key instead of the backspace key. On Linux it also seems to help to disable the F-keys. However, then you won't be able to use the F-Keys.

I know I am not alone with this problem. If you google for the phrase "unknown e1 escape sequence" in Google Groups, you will notice that several people have the same problem and noone ever found a solution.

Afterall I really urge everybody who wants to use other systems than Windows not to consider this keyboard, it will drive you crazy.

Summary: This is an excellent Keyboard And Mouse
Review: I purchased this from Amazon and I got this in two days with free shipping. Just plugged in receiver to USB port and insert the batteries. Amazingly both keyboard and Mouse started working without any settings or restart of my computer. Howerver you need to install provided software if you want to use complete multimedia keys. I am using this for my Compaq presario laptop. All keys are working fine after I install the included softwre. Great package and great deal from Amazon.

Summary: Perfect for Mac OSX!
Review: I recently recieved the Cordless Navigator Duo as a "get well soon" gift of sorts for recently having had serious knee surgery. My computer illiterate dad was able to set the keyboard and mouse up for me in minutes and as long as you install the included software, everything works flawlessly. you can easily program buttons to open up frequently used applications, web sites or folders, and it is perfect for my music collection. It can switch tracks, adjust volume, pause, play, stop, and eject a cd all without opening your media application (iTunes, WinAmp, etc.) The keyboard is extremely quiet and comfortable and the mouse works great on any surface. I love this thing.
So believe me this product works PERFECTLY on a mac running OSX.

Summary: very good wireless combo
Review: I recently tried a Microsoft wireless combo to replace a wrecked keyboard on my HP PC. I exchanged the MS for the Logitech and am much happier. The big difference is the layout of the Function keys and keys over the arrow keys. The MS board has the F1-F12 keys in four groups of three; the Logitech has them in three groups of four, like every other keyboard I use. The MS board also had a different arrangement of the Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up and Page down keys; on the the Logitech they're in a "standard" 2X3 arrangement.

If you only use one computer, the key layout is no big deal. If you use more than one, the differing layout can be very annoying.

FWIW, I also prefer the shape of the Logitech mouse.

Update: The batteries in the mouse lasted about 4 months; pretty good considering that the LED is always on. The batteries in the keyboard are still going strong. On average I use them almost daily for 1-2 hours/day.

Summary: A great product for the PC...
Review: I've purchased cordless mouse/keyboard combinations before, but this is by far the best one that I have used. Installation is easy and flawless, and the product works just like it should. Using other similar products, I had problems with the sensitivity of the mouse. However, with this unit, the mouse has no problems. Highly recommended!

Summary: good but...
Review: its really good one. it can be used for both pc and notepads. but multimedia keys were functioning wrongly. that means for messanger button, it invokes mute options. most of multimedia button's functionality were shuffeled.. other than that it is really fine.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A pox on the cordless mouse!
Review: Just in the last 30 seconds, the mouse has skipped, paused, and jumped about 3 times. It is incredibly annoying. I used a Logitech cordless mouse (a portable one made for notebooks) before, and loved it, but this one is driving me crazy. (It may be that I have to move the 'station' closer to the mouse, but it's only now at the foot of the desk.)
The keyboard is nothing special. The keyboard of my IBM laptop is more comfortable, though I think the plethora of "action" buttons on the top is useful. Unfortunately, the Internet access buttons do not work with the Mozilla Firefox browser.
