The keyboard's 102x42-pixel LCD screen was unimpressive. Its handy default view shows username, date, time, and temperature, and it can display media playback information, zoom and volume levels, and hot-key combinations. However, we experienced delays in the announcement of new Outlook messages and instant messages. The LCD lacks a backlight, making it unreadable in many lighting situations, and the viewing angle is poor; we couldn't see the display unless we were looking at it from directly above.
The included MX1000 mouse has been updated with Bluetooth support and a thinner charging station. The mouse features 800 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution, typical for laser mice, and a strip of LEDs indicates battery level. The MX1000 is comfortable to use--but for the right-handed only. A smart tilt wheel lets you scroll both vertically and horizontally, and there are three programmable buttons.
Logitech offers a three-year warranty where most manufacturers only offer one year on input devices. Logitech's support site has software downloads and updates, user forums, product-specific support, and e-mail support options.
