Logitech pluses and minuses November 4, 2008
This Bluetooth combo is a replacement for my previous Logitech wireless combo, which I much preferred; in fact, I would have bought another if they still made them, but nooooo---we have to have a fancy touch-sensitive Media Control Panel these days instead of an analog dial you could spin to adjust volume and---gasp!---a MUTE button instead of a touch-it-and-wait-a-minute-okay-press-it-harder-maybe-it'll-work-then "touch sensitive" thing.
Worse, if you learned to type the hard way, and therefore have your hands in an Officially Unapproved Position, you might find the image zooming or the volume going up up UP UP because your left pinkie is lolling about on the touch pad. . . ask me how I know! Fortunately, you can disable this entire crappy whiz-bang element.
One problem I have not figured out is the fact than when booting up, the PC will not respond to keyboard inputs: So much for accessing the BIOS or otherwise interceding during the launching process.
So far---six months, maybe? Nine?---I have had only occasionally Bluetooth connection glitches, but I do get occasional runaway keys, watching helplessly as a Word document starts recording sssssssss or some other key, line after line after line.
The mouse, as others have noted, is exxxxcellent---though as heavy as a Ford F150 pickup. But since it's the same mouse that came with my previous keyboard, I now have two of them. And the one before THAT was just one generation back, the Laser 700. So now I'm being overrun with mice!
I will probably go back to the last-gen Logitech. I replaced it only because one of the feet broke off, so I had been using it balanced on a pile of mouse pads on one corner. As for this one, I will give it to my wife to see if she can get it running on the other end of the room with her Intel Mac.
Yes, and she has a bigger monitor than I do, too!
 logitech cordless desktop mx 5000 laser October 25, 2008
I enjoy using the cordless mouse with my computer, I do not have to worry about the cord getting in the way when I want to turn away from the computer. I have not really used the key board enough to learn all the different features it has.
 Flaky October 24, 2008
I had a wireless keyboard before and have never had such connection issues. Currently the keyboard will not reconnect after the computer restarts after going in standby. This has not always been the case, but there has always been some connection issue and it can be 10 minutes and numerous power cycles of the keyboard until it gets resolved. The hardware reliability has been poor too. The keyboard had a sticky key and they sent me a new keyboard and mouse. I was thrilled with the second mouse until it failed within a few weeks. I dislike having to recharge it every couple days, I preferred replacing batteries a couple times a year. The mouse does work great though and the keyboard has a neat calculator feature. The shortcut keys on the keyboard are nice too, although the volume and zoom control are not useful to me.
 Good quality, but not the best. September 15, 2008
I've always been a big fan of Logitech products. I've found them to traditionally be high quality at a decent price. However, I find myself with mixed feelings about this product.
On the one hand, I would have to say that this keyboard and mouse are great for the average computer user who doesn't game a lot, but still wants a wireless experience. I set it up on my home entertainment system, and it's working very well. The mouse is definatly of higher quality than the keyboard. But both seem to work well with my system. The programable hotkeys are nice if you have a lot of varying programs that you open and close a lot, and the volume/zoom controls are nice if you have it linked to an entertainment computer, becuase you can easily reduce or increase the volume or zoom with a quick slide of your hand.
I found two faults with this system thus far. First off, the LCD screen on the keyboard is pretty much a gimmick. It's not backlite, which makes it very hard to read unless there is direct light shining on it, and the "features" of the LCD screeen are nice in theory, but not very practical in dayily use. The second problem I have with it is the fact that there is no easy way to tell how much battery power the keyboard has. I suppose it's not a major problem in the grand scheme of things. But I find it to be annoying nontheless.
Overall, I give this a 4 out of 5. It's a good setup if you're not a computeraholic; but if you're an avid gamer or you tend to abuse keyboards/mice, I would advise against this setup. It's definatly not top of the line Logitech.
i recomend it September 15, 2008
I'm a old logitech fan! Almost everything is logitech and I might be influenced by that in this this review, but here it is.
First to explain why to buy it. I had, for a long time the first IR mouse from Logitech. It was great until the mouse button lossed its contact By living in Brazil, Logitech didn't gave me any support for fix it. It lasted almost 4 years (extreme gamer :))
I changed it for a A4TECH model, one that says to be one of the winners of gamming mice the X7 model, well it is a good mice but FAR from beeing a exceptional mice, and it is wired.
As my old keybord from a local manufactor that stared to show maufunction due to loss of contact.
Well I bought this set a week ago, Yes in set 2008. It is a "old" set but HELL it is good!!
No wires at all!!
Simple installation!! A really plug and play at XP SP2
Took me a little to acomodate my hand at the mice due to the weight, but one you master it, it goes smoth! Playing STALKER with it was much better and controllable. The weight helps the hand not going flaying away the table.
AND NO LAGS or DELAYS! I guess the folks that complain don't follow the manual! I also connected, WITH NO PROBLEM, a NOKIA E62 phone synchronized with out look and also browsed the Internet throught the bluetooth connection.
Well but not everything is good, but considering that it was released in 2005, well to hell with that, this new features wasn't available or well managed at that time. This small issues are:
- No backlight at the display or touched keys;
- Size of the keyboard is not standard and sometime for getting used to it is needed;
My final considerations. If you want a wired free computer with a accessible price this is a good choice. If you have mor money to expend, buy the 5500 set.
