Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3200 Laser review

Along with the standard media-control and application hot keys, Logitech incorporates a few unique features with the MX3200's keyboard. On the left side, you'll find a touch-sensitive zoom bar that lets you move in and out of an image or reduce or enlarge your font size. We found that it works in many common Windows applications, as well as with Firefox. If you spend a lot of time working with images or perhaps formatting word documents for printing, you'll find this feature useful, but many people probably wouldn't bother with it much. Logitech has also added VoIP hot keys for opening your VoIP application of choice, as well as for answering and ending calls. A small LCD screen on the top of the keyboard displays the date and time.

The mouse that comes with this set is a useful laser mouse. It has two main buttons, a tilting scrollwheel for navigating sideways in a document, as well as up and down; forward and backward thumb buttons; and a zooming rocker switch and search engine hot button along the left edge. It also features a battery indicator light, and Logitech throws in six AA batteries to power the whole set.
