Description:

With mouses, keyboards, speakers, external drives, modems, and the like, the modern-day workstation is less a testament to efficiency than it is an exercise in cable management. This wireless remote receiver is capable of picking up signals from your keyboard and mouse from a whopping six feet away. You'll also welcome the freedom of having two less cables to wrestle with.

The digital radio technology behind the cordless desktop is simple. The Logitech scrolling-wheel mouse and Windows 95-compatible keyboard aren't subject to line-of-sight limitations, meaning that the unit works even when obstacles are blocking the radio receiver--a normal occurrence for messy workstations. The pair of AA batteries in the keyboard and the pair of AAA batteries in the mouse last about six months.

And don't worry about experiencing problems with lag. After installing the cordless desktop, we fired up the epic first-person shooter game, Half-Life, to see if the unit's radio technology would burden our ability to kill aliens and send commandos home in body bags. We're happy to report that our shooting was as lethal as usual.

The cordless desktop ships with Logitech's MouseWare software, allowing you to customize your desktop.

Pros:

  • Wireless technology
  • Wheel mouse is sturdy
  • Digital radio technology works when receiver is hidden

Cons:

  • Batteries only last six months
