Heads above Microsoft! [Posted on 2001-03-22]
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.

Keyboard is Great, but Mouse Fails [Posted on 2001-04-18]
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.

A bit disappointed [Posted on 2001-06-13]
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.

Good...For the most part. [Posted on 2001-08-04]
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.

pretty good [Posted on 2001-11-07]
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.
