    "Good mouse, weird keyboard"

    by dragoncancer on October 26, 2005

    Pros: Bluetooth 2.0, Rechargable Laser mouse, Handy Shortcut keys

    Cons: Lots of bells and whistles that aren't very useful, Keyboard is awkward. Mouse needs to be docked every week

    Summary: The laser mouse is amazing. It's not too heavy and pretty comfortable AND rechargeable.

    The first one I got kept repeating the first character when I typed. I returned that one and this one seems to be ok. But I still haven't figured out how to get my sony ericsson p910 phone to sync.

    The keyboard is pretty awkward. First of all, the Delete, Home, Page Up, and Page Down keys are laid out vertically. If you use those keys frequently, you might want to stay away. Secondly, the function keys are half the height of the regular keys, I still can't find them without looking down. Finally, The LCD screen isn't very useful, it's pretty hard to see what's being displayed. I've abandoned the calculator feature on the keyboard and reverted back to using the Windows one... it's just too hard to see the numbers.

    I'm thinking I'll keep the mouse, but give the keyboard to someone and pick up the new gaming keyboard by Logitech (G15). The layout on that one is alot more conventional.

    Shortly after I got it, the Keyboard or Mouse would become disconnected then after a few weeks neither worked.
    Tech Support was great. The Customer Support Representative was knowledgable and easily understood.
    Documentation is meager, consisting of a Quick Start Guide with a few troubleshooting tips.

    This keyboard is amazing, something must be wrong w/ your eyes b/c I can see the lcd perfectly. Moreover, the home button is NOT laid out vertically.
