    I bought this thing and it do not work as expected – the email display don’t work due to a bug on software and Logitech don’t care on updating it after 10 months!!!

    Don’t buy a product that its desktop software is full of bugs and a company like logitech will not update it after 10 months!!

    I could not get this device to work at all. I dont know why they are moving away from rf and into bluetooth. Bluetooth does me no good because my wifi router is beefed up to 400ma output which means the bluetooth has no chance of working properly on the 2.4ghz range. My router is about 3 feet from my main pc and it is connected by ethernet cable my other pcs and my xbox360 connect to it wirelessly. My dads office is about 200 feet from my house and he piggy backs my connection wirelessly. I have a router that has a range of about 1/2 mile and with this kind of output power the little bluetooth dongle piece of junk has no chance. The makers claim that the bluetooth will search for a clear channel then use the clear channel but the problem with that is there are no clear channels my wifi router is pushing a lot of power on every channel. Bluetooth = GARBAGE. I have not been able to find a valid reason for bluetooth other than a headset for your cellphone which makes you look like a moron walking around talking to yourself.

    Mouse is somewhat comfortable to use, and it is not too heavy. Its battery lasts for about a week under normal use, when fully charged, and not the 14 days that its application indicates. The recharger base is a nice thing to have, and can charge the mouse in a few hours. But, it would have been nice if it was designed in such a way that it was easy to use. Whoever designed the charger’s base must have been on something very strong. Good luck trying to get the mouse to line up on the charger.

    Mouse’s pointer is not 100% accurate, and sometimes it takes a bit of back-and-forth moving to position the pointer on a small icon or object. Free-spin does not work well at all, and it does roll back most of the times. Sometimes, I have to manually set it to Click-to-Click so that it stops rolling the opposite direction. It automatically switches between Free-Spin and Click-to-Click, when it is setup to do so, but I cannot tell what makes it switch between the two options. Sometimes it seems like it just switches as soon as you touch the mouse, and without even touching the wheel. It seems like that the Free-Spin function does not work right.

    The keyboard is already in the trash after about 4 months of using it. It was just not usable, and the feel of it was terrible. I had to get rid of it. I just could not type on it. It drove me crazy enough that I just finally got mad and throw it away.

    So, overall do not waste you money on this set. It really is not worth the money, and even if you buy it cheap, it does not work well. The biggest problem is its bad design. They should have tried to keep it simple, and normal. When a keyboard does not feel and look like a keyboard, then it is not a keyboard.

    There is no Num Lock Key! I phone Logitech and there isn’t even a solution to this dilemma. Therefore this keyboard was totally useless to me.

    I will say it has many nice features, was easy to install, and worked very well. One can tell by the touch that it is a very high quality keyboard.

    I don’t understand adding so many new wonderful features, and at the same time deleting a key that is an absolute must for some users.
