Customer Reviews

Good keyboard, short range
I love the look and feel of this keyboard. The mouse is a little big and bulky, but it works well. I was not able to find a good reference for the range before purchasing this pair. As it turns out, the range was not long enough for what I needed, but would be just fine on a desk near a PC. I think that the max range I can get out of it is about 4' from the receiver to the units. Looks nice and functions well outside of the range issue.

Mouse set-up a chore
I only received mine today so I can't say anything about battery life or other long-term issues. That said, I think I am in love with the keyboard but the mouse took too much effort to get to work properly. The included software didn't work with the scroll wheel so I had to download the software from Logitech. I also had to restart my computer and reconnect the mouse several times. Seems to work great now, though.

Okay for very simple tasks
The keyboard itself is reasonably functional. The keys are far enough apart that typing is not a problem and it's slim factor is appealing for tight workspaces. It looks nice as well and has fair battery life, though that's nothing spectacular.

The receiver is something of a pain, as it needs to be plugged in and set fairly close to the keyboard (within a few feet, which shouldn't be a problem in most work areas), so it often falls off my desk and behind things, which degrades its already mediocre reception further.

My big beef with this keyboard is that it's plagued by bouts of unresponsiveness. This is especially prevalent in gaming, particularly fullscreen gaming, where the keyboard will, for no apparent reason, fail to recognize that you've pressed a key, or fail to recognize that you've stop holding a key down. In games with the WASD movement standard, this is incredibly frustrating as you'll release a movement key, but fail to stop moving. I've been using it with Oblivion lately, and it's making the game especially difficult. I've had the same problem in Guild Wars and World of Warcraft.

The mouse suffers from similar problems, but it seems as though it's always in tandem with the keyboard, which leads me to believe the receiver may be the actual culprit. As far as the utility of the mouse goes, it's, again, merely adequate. It is contoured well for most people, but my hands are large and my fingers very long, and I have rest my palm on the desk while using the mouse, which cause the heel of my hand to become sore after about 30 minutes. Users with shorter, smaller hands should have no problems with it.

If you're going to use this for very simple tasks like typing documents, it should be sufficient, but using it for any gaming at all is not something I would recommend.
