Summary: Awesome keyboard! Don't expect much from the mouse...
Review: Let me first say that I love being cordless. I don't think I will ever go back to a corded keyboard/mouse. The keyboard is awesome. I give it ****1/2/*****.The best feature is definately the media controls. It makes it much more convenient to change songs and control the system volume. I don't find myself using the keys on the top left and right hand sides of the keyboard (f-lock, email, webcam, iTouch, etc.), but maybe I just need to get used to them being there.

The mouse is a whole different story. I really wanted to like it, but I can't. I am very frustrated by it. One of the things that really turned me on about it was not having to use a mousepad. Well, my desk has wood grain and if I attempt to use the mouse on it, the cursor jumps and skips around. So I have to use a mousepad, or an unsightly piece of paper. Second, for me, the ergonomics are bad. I have a small/medium hand, and I get cramps after using the mouse for more that 30 minutes. Also, the scroll wheel does not work in games. There is absolutely no comparison to my original Dell Logitech optical mouse. The tracking was 10 times better on any surface. I give the mouse */*****.

The software definately needs some polishing. When using any of the volume/media controls, the text on the lower portion of the screen becomes distorted. This can be defeated by turning the on screen key effects off, but then you have no visual indication of the volume level. Also there is no way to program the buttons to do different things in different applications. For instance, there is no way to make the side button go back in Internet Explorer and make it double click everywhere else. I give the software **/*****. I expected better from Logitech.

Because the mouse is so bad, I am looking at spending another $70 on the MX700 which looks much better. There are many other people who were satisfied with the mouse, though, so you should probably try before you buy.

Summary: Great Product!!!...
Review: Third cordless I bought...3 times a charm, this keyboard rocks!!! The only thing missing is voice recognition! Mouse is very comfortable and has several setup options. If you're looking for a great cordless interface, this is the one to get! Great reception from any room and access to my music at the touch of a button, can't ask for more then this product gives you!!!

Summary: The guy from cary doesn't know what he is talking about
Review: This is a great product. It doesn not chage your drivers. It is wireless; however, it is the same as a ps2 mouse. It worked right out of the box. The software that comes with it does not load a driver. It is only a software that lets you use all the features on the key board. You don't have to load it if you don't want to. And if it did load a driver and you wanted to go back to your wire mouse. All you have to do is plug it in. Windows will find the drivers you need. If loading a mouse put you system down for 2 days then you should not be doing anything to your system. Both the wireless and wire mouse are ps2. So there is no change. Only the freedom of being wireless. For the price and the rebate you can't beat it. A good buy and good product. My wife loves it. She hates being tied down and wires hanging up. If you read reviews prior to bying then read them all. If you have more bad then good then don't buy. But remember when reading a review read it all.

Summary: It would be a five-star rating
Review: If it weren't for two minor complaints.

#1) I wish the CapsLock, ScollLock, and NumLock indicator lights were on the keyboard itself. For some reason these lights are on the remote unit, so I have to kind of look under the monitor to see if the CapsLock button is on. I could pull the remote out closer to me, but that would defeat the purpose of a wireless, clutter-free desktop. (On Mac keyboards, the key itself has a small green light and most PC keyboards have the lights in the upper right corner of the keyboard.) You can opt for a screen message or a small menu that displays the keyboard state, but that takes up screen real estate.

#2) The thumb button on the mouse is very easy to hit unintentionally. Since everything is fully programmable, I switched its default properties to "Unassigned" (which I thought would de-activate that button). Yet, even unassigned, in some programs it will act as a "Back" button, which is annoying when you're working or concentrating.

I like the solid weight and feel of the mouse. The iTouch keys on the keyboard are all programmable for either a program, website, or menu command. There are function keys galore and iNav keys -- all easy to tailor to your needs. The volume is a large dial rather than two keys (you know, one for volume up and one for volume down). Very intuitive and as it should be. If you share your computer with others who have their own settings, all they have to do it hit the "user button" to switch to their sign on screen, not affecting your work (in WIndows XP, at least). The keyboard is very responsive and comfortable. It's nice-looking and one of the few keyboards out there that matches a black monitor (if you buy your computer components separately).

Summary: Hype
Review: Things I experienced with this product:
Mouse:
- Comfort is stressful
- Right button is no easy to press
- Tracking is jittery, sometimes not at all
- Radio frequency interference
Keyboard:
- Some of the extra functionality buttons are placed in spots
where it causes you the hit them by accident.
- Radio frequency interference problems. Sometimes the keys
would not work at all or repeat 5 times with one press.

I got rid of it a when back to reliable wired technology.

Too bad, because I really loved the look. But for me, it has to work first, then look good.
