    "Nice as long as it worked!" on by GeoSci40

    Pros: First wireless - freedom was nice.

    Cons: Letters "O", "L", "M" stopped working unless hit VERY hard after only a few weeks!

    Summary: Have read others with same problem - something is wrong with "O", "L", "M" keys!

    "Somtimes Misses kystrokes" on by cfivince

    Pros: Battery Life. Dedicated Calc button., Volume Control & Mute.

    Cons: Keyboard misses strokes, receiver needs to be really close to keyboard to be reliable. Can't actuate most hotkeys with one hand since function button is only on right side of keyboard and I use my right hand on the mouse most of the time.

    Summary: I've been using this Keyboard for 4 months and I want to go back to a corded keyboard. It seems to miss some kestrokes and find myself hitting the backspace button more often than I do with my laptop keyboard.

    "All the keys you could want in less space" on by jksgvb

    Pros: This is a nice looking keyboard and mouse that work as advertised. Logitech has done their homework as usual. The keys are quiet and have a nice touch. The mouse, although a little heavy, works very well also.

    Cons: The wrist rest that looks like it's detachable in pictures doesn't detach. I haven't figured out how to enter BIOS with a wireless keyboard yet, so I still keep a wired one for that purpose. The mute key should be separate from the volume keys.

    Summary: The keyboard is just under 17.25 inches wide and has a standard entry key and backslash key in the usual place. Other compact keyboards hide the backslash in strange places. Logitech's drivers are excellent and work with 64-bit Vista Home Premium--a big step above the funkware drivers included in so many 3rd party peripherals. Logitech puts the USB antenna on the desktop which gives it excellent range. You can type from 20 ft away no problem if you have a big display. Plus you can verify via LEDs when the keyboard and mouse are in standby and when they're active and communicating with the antenna. This is a very well engineered product at a very reasonable price.

    "Keys stopped working, one by one" on by purple_frogs

    Pros: Works out of the box with PC and Mac, no setup required. The included wireless mouse is pretty good, though it requires quite a bit of force to click the button.

    Cons: From the start, I had to use very hard keypresses to type on this keyboard. After 6 months of moderate use, some keys got much harder to press, starting with O, K, and L, and eventually stopped working no matter how hard I pressed them.

    Summary: Terrible quality control! The keys not working is a simple manufacturing issue - not software or wiring - the key caps simply weren't making contact with the switches below! I cut up some eraser tips and put them below the key caps, and the keyboard started working better but felt terrible to type on. Perhaps if you're used to typing on an old Remington, this would mimic that experience, but for me, this keyboard required such forceful key presses on that it started giving me a repetitive strain injury. I expected much better quality from Logitech!!!

    "Worst quality Logitech product I have ever purchased" on by Froggels

    Pros: It's a sleek and quiet and attractively designed nice if it works.

    Cons: I had to return the product three times to the store because some keys would not respond while typing normally.

    Summary: While it's an attractive keyboard and has nice features, the quality is by far inferior to any Logitech product I have ever purchased as many of the keys would not respond properly out of the box. I am *finally* able to type this review on one of them after three trips to the store. The included cordless laser mouse is also poorly designed with its flat surfaces that fit in neither the left nor right hand very well. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was designed in the 1980s when the Atari 2600 joystick felt good in one's hands.
