Summary: One of the best add-ons I've ever bought
Review: At first I was hesitant to spend ... for a keyboard, but after a few hours I am glad I did. I spend about 8-10 hrs a day on the computer and type quite a bit during that time trading stocks and options. As a result, I developed a slight case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on my right wrist. Since I have used this keyboard I have not felt any pain at all. I have used about 3 types of keyboards before with the previous being a Microsoft Natural style keyboard with the "curve" in it. The Logitech keyboard and mouse are very comfortable and have been designed for ease of use. The keyboard also has some nice features (ie: hotkeys, etc.) that come with the software and are customizable. In about 3 minutes my keyboard and mouse were working perfectly without any flaws from the wireless connection. I would really consider getting this keyboard if you have CTS or use a keyboard for an extended period through out the day.

Summary: A bit disappointed
Review: I purchased the wireless keyboard and mouse combination. The keyboard worked great--I would give it 5 stars--but I couldn't get the mouse to establish radio contact. I exchanged it for a new one twice more with the same result. I am a fairly technical person (so is my roommate) and since set up is not complicated at all, I'm quite certain that the reason for the mouse's failure was not a result of something I and my roommate did.

And there is no customer service number.

I would wait until this technology develops a little more. Then I would jump on it. The wireless keyboard, for it's part was well worth the money.

Review: I purchased this product because it claimed to offer wireless freedom for your keyboard and mouse, at least that is what I imagined. Logitech utilizes radio signals (unlike other wireless devices which use IR technology) to communicate between the keyboard/mouse and the receiver. With this in mind, Logitech clearly indicates that for optimum performance, you must keep the reciever unit at least 8 inches (20 cm) from ANY electrical device. Understood. However, no matter where I located the receiver unit, flawless operation could not be achieved. I would type a sentence only to find out that 2/3 of it made it to the screen. Very frustrating. Even though the unit was new, I changed the batteries hoping that it might help. It didn't. Finally, I pulled the receiver and its cord across the desktop and placed it directly in front of the keyboard and mouse. Now, I have flawless operation. If you look at this product as a quick break-away device, pulling the receiver unit close to the keyboard as you need it, then sliding it back out of the way when you don't need it, I suppose you will be happy with the Freedom Navigator. I just wish the radio transmitters in the keyboard had a bit more muscle. Ending on a positive note, the split keyboard is very comfortable to use for extended periods of time.

Summary: pretty good
Review: It's alright. I love the freedom of sitting across the room from my computer and typing. The only problem is that I wish I had a bigger monitor because, my eyesight only goes so far. It's also very conveniant when multiple people need to use the computer and desk.

Summary: The best cordless desktop combo you could imagine
Review: Not saying its cute design, you have to believe, this cordless keyboard/mouse have a reach of at least 2.5m no matter where do you place the receiver. I tested it; it is real, it is fun and it is really fun. Standard USB with PS/2 exchanger. Easy to install. And no drivers are needed under Win2000/Linux(there does come a driver CD which I didn't bother with). Both of them are just working well as I expected. acurate with fast response(no worse than the highly rated mouseman serie) and what is the most important: Freedom!

Summary: Good...For the most part.
Review: The Logitech Freedom Navigator is a very tight keyboard and mouse combo. And for the price, it's pretty good. Instalation is fairly easy. It takes around 10 mins and isn't to hard to do. The mouse "grip" is wonderful. It fits in your hand perfectly. The keyboard is very nice too. The "play/pause" button [stinks] though. It's more like a stop button. And you'll really never use the buttons much either. But all the same, it's a good keyboard. A lil problem. Sometimes the mouse and keyboard get a little sketchy... And it is a bit annoying. But all you have to do is reconnect. So it's not a life-threatening problem :) And I really wish the mouse were optical. That is a major downer. But overall it's pretty good.

Summary: Heads above Microsoft!
Review: This New and latest mouse has custom silicon and a specially designed infrared sensor that essentially takes a picture of your desktop 1,500 times a second and turns differences in the images into cursor movement on your screen. Logitech says this gives them a year's lead over Microsoft.

There are also new power-saving features, including an instant-on sleep mode and technology that turns on the LED--which gives the device the cool red glow underneath--just brightly enough for the desktop surface. A dark desktop takes more light to image than a light-colored one, and the mouse adjusts accordingly.
