Summary: at last....FREEDOM!
Review: I rec'd my Logitech Cordless Freedom pack today. Hooked it up immed. Loved it from the get-go! This product is great for those who like to sit back and relax while working on the computer. Gone are the days of hunching over the desk typing or mousing around websites.

I found the range of the keyboard and mouse to be more than 20 feet though I would have settled for 6. With the unexpected distance achieved I'm eager to buy a 19-21" monitor.

If you are undecided, put your fears to rest and buy this set. You will love it too.

Summary: Not for the Absent Minded
Review: This combo works just fine as a mouse and keyboard. However, I ended up replacing my original in a very short period of time because I kept dropping the mouse off the edge of my desk. The mouse was sturdy but it could only take so much abuse before it went to mousie heaven.

The other problem I had was a tendency to wander away from the desk while holding the mouse. Later, after a half hour of frantic searching, I would find it on the file cabinet, in my pocket, in my brief case. It was harder to keep up with than my ink pens.

I eventually bought a wireless Stealth keyboard with a pointing device built in and have had it for the last two years without a problem.

Summary: 6 feet more like 20
Review: When I was in the store I looked at the 6 foot radius this device was supposed to have , and I did not think it would be enough space for me to do what I wanted to do. Guess what even though the box says 6 feet it is seriously more like 20 or so feet. Comparing it to other products you will find there is nothing this good this cheap on the market today to compete. The intel setup looks pretty good , but it is much more money, and the wireless hub is much bigger then the logitech hub. This is the device to have , kudos to logitech.

One thing to watch out for is the connect button on the hub. If you press that button you have to take the batteries out of the mouse for it to work again.

Summary: A good product, better value buying the combo.
Review: Why buy a wireless mouse and keyboard separately? Makes no sense, and Logitech offers this great solution. The product has tremendous range. I live in an apartment and can type in the living room and the receiver receives the info flawlessly. Walls don't seem to be a problem at all. It is great if you like to lay down while typing. I use it for copying reports that I hand write first and it is nice not to have to sit at the computer staring at the monitor.

Drawbacks... well if you are a visual person like me, you need to look at the screen anyways and it is hard to type in a different room and not know what is going through or what errors you are making. As Office 2000 and Word 2000 gets better with its auto corrections, it will improve my comfort level with the remote abilities of this product. Also, the product uses batteries, which I am not entirely comfortable with, but it needs power from somewhere!
