Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard

2 stars until the mouse lag problem is fixed. 5 otherwise.

After having the issue with mouse lag I decided to move the bluetooth usb dongle from the rear usb to the USB on the front of my tower pointing twords the area I sit and use the keyboard and mouse the issue has gone away for several days now and hope it stays that way. Anyone else having this issue I would say do what I did or get a USB cable and move the USB BT Dongle to a better location. Another thing to try would be switching to the internal BT if your computer has it. I Give this combo 4 stars now that I got the problem fixed. I would give it 5 stars if it worked back in my bedroom as well.

The only good thing about this key board and mouse I like are the mouse. It has lasted about 3 years and still going. I want to throw the keyboard out the window and run over it several times. The keys are so far apart I feel like spider man trying to type. If you have big fingers it would be great and as long as you don't mind having to press keys more than once to type. or if they get stuck you just have to punch them with your fingers. Oh, as long as you don't need to type anything, your good.

Save your money and buy a steelSeries mouse, and a generic keyboard with a gel wrist-rest.

all the issues:
keyboard ergonomics is bad
keyboard angle is too low
software problems (including crashing and losing mouse functionality, had to reboot)
LCD brightness
mouse buttons (middle-click too hard)
mouse resolution too low
button associations are restricted in many ways (eg you can't assign middle-click to the button below the wheel)
