Summary: Great Improvement Of Microsoft Design
Review: I too previously used the MS Natural Pro, and Logitech has made all the right improvements. The unit came with no drivers, but they were easy to install from the logitech website. The keyboard has a great feel, and much quieter keys than MS's version. The mouse is not bad, but I miss the FORWARD browser button that I had on my Intellimouse Optical, maybe I'll buy the Logitech wireless version. Running XP Pro, I have had no trouble with this unit, I just advise that you instll the drivers from Logitech before you even take the unit out of the box.

Summary: Great system!
Review: I've had this keyboard/mouse system for about 10 months and have been extremely happy with it. Prior to this, I used the Microsoft Natural Keyboard (corded) and a Microsoft corded mouse, and have no complaints about either of them. However, this keyboard is more compact than the Microsoft, and it is convenient to not have to deal with any cords. The keyboard's multimedia buttons allow you to control the CD player without using on-screen controls, which is a real advantage over the older Microsoft keyboard (some newer Microsoft models have multimedia controls). You also get 5 buttons that you configure to directly access websites or software programs. This feature worked fine until I changed my MouseMan for a Logitech cordless optical mouse. The mouse works great with the same receiver the keyboard uses, but if my system resources go below 40%, the multimedia and shortcut buttons do not respond properly. The regular keys continue to work fine, though. The newer version of this system has a USB connection; mine requires that you use two PS/2 ports.

Summary: Attachment Falls Off
Review: It seems to function find but if you pick it up by the wrist rest attachment it's likely to fall apart and possibly crash to the ground. This is particularly upsetting since it's wireless which enables you the option of moving the keyboard out of the way.

Summary: GREAT COMBO UNIT
Review: Once you let yourself get used to the ergonomic design, you wont go back to typing on a standard board again. It's akward at first, but keep at it. Your hands will never tire, you wont get carpal tunnel and you feel more relaxed at the end of a long day of typing. I love the freedom from cords, both with the board and especially the mouse. Again, give the mouse a fair try, and you wont go back to a standard design. I love the center scroll and thumb back button.....( that's how I have mine programed)
I started with their wireless mouse, then onto the "Cordless Trackman Wheel ( I dont care for that one) then onto the Cordless Desktop Pro. One interesting thing, I can use the cordless trackman wheel at the same time I use the cordless mouse. No separate programing, or hookups. Both work off the same remote receiver.
Anyway, I'm on my computer an average of 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. I've only had to replace batteries in my units TWICE in the last 2 years!!! No, I dont do much gaming, but I do lots of photo editing.....anyway, I use Duracell's and have had good luck with them in these units.
Again, once you finally get used to the board and mouse, you literally cant, and wont want to type on a standard lay out as Your hands will feel akward and uncomfortable....
I love this unit and hope others will give it a try. They wont regret it.

Summary: Almost Ideal
Review: The Desktop Pro is a very comfortable keyboard. My biggest complaint is that the left shift key isn't very sensitive, so quite often I'll be typing along, look down, and see all lower case! Another complaint is how the function keys are split into groups of 3, 4, 3, and 2 keys. This seems strange to me. I always have to look down before hitting function keys. Another complaint is how the Home, End, Ins, etc. key cluster is layed out. I can't seem to get used to that for some reason. Is it just me? Other than those minor problems, the keyboard is GREAT! I'm thinking of buying another one for work (believe it or not). There aren't too many cordless/ergonomic keyboards out there. With that said, let me say that this one is the best one that I've found! :)
