Connection would have been nice [Posted on 2007-08-20]
I had all kinds of problem using this thing. All I wanted was the keyboard, but it didn't like my logitech wireless trackball. I ended up having to plug it into the keyboard port using a ps2 adapter (supplied). It worked for about 20 days. Now it won't connect, or when it does it disconnects within minutes. I've changed the batteries and tried usb ports again, and nothing.
I'll liked logitech wireless keyboards before but this has been a bitter experience. Now I'm back to el-cheapo wired keyboard.
Geat set for the money [Posted on 2007-10-18]
Everything works efficiently. Keyboard has everything you need without all the noisy unnecessary gimmicks. Mouse is perfect & I appreciate the heavy feel the batteries give it.
I liked the set so much, I bought a second set for my 2nd PC.
Logitech not so good with my game... [Posted on 2008-03-02]
It's a nice simple set and would be well worth the price if it worked with my favorite game, World of Warcraft. It's not really the mouse actually but the logitech drivers because this is the second logitech in a row (Logitech LX7 Cordless mouse) that has had the same problem. The problem is the right mouse button will click-lock about every 3 clicks or so and man is it a pain when you're in a bunch of mobs or trying to loot before another mob shows up.
Made in China [Posted on 2008-09-26]
Have had this for about 6 months and am starting to have problems. I type quickly and it has always had trouble keeping up. Lately, it skips or duplicates letters/spaces or locks up completely. I type a lot in my job and it's frustrating when I have to wait and then go back and correct what it screwed up. I've been pushing the "connect" button on the bottom when this happens and it helps for a while and then starts over again a few minutes later. I'm going back to my old-fashioned wired keyboard for a while to save my sanity.
Good but buy rechargeable batteries. [Posted on 2008-09-28]
I've owned this keyboard and mouse for a while now, and while the functioning has been wonderful I've had issues with the mouse battery life and the keyboard letters.
I use my computer keyboard a lot and while my previous keyboard became nonoperational before the letters wore off, the letters on this one wore off within a week. I don't really need to look at the letters to know what button to press but one would think that they would give them a bit more, for lack of a better term, staying power.
Obviously, this has no bearing on the function of the keyboard, which has been excellent. In the months that I've had it I've had to change the batteries once. It's very comfortable to type with as opposed to many of the other keyboards I've used and its really convenient not having so many wires tangling everywhere.
The mouse however is a different story. Due it to being a lazer type mouse the battery life is absolutely horrible. I would say within the first month of using it I've gone through 8-10 batteries. So instead of spending so much on batteries I went the rechargeable battery route. Buy two sets of batteries and a charger and you are all set. The mouse is slightly uncomfortable and if you want fast point and click games or need to hold down the mouse buttons for long periods of time then I suggest you go a more expensive route.
Overall: Overall since I mainly just surf the net and type, this set has exactly what I need.
Pro's and Cons Overall:
Pros: Comfortable Keyboard,
Good Keyboard Battery Life
