This -has- to be -the- most userfriendly thing that has ever come within miles of my computer. First, there's the set up - lobotomoised monkeys could install this device... it was that simple. I was up and running in less than five minutes. Once I had it installed, I was -completely- impressed by the fact that it didn't matter where in the room I sat, or at what angle, the receiver still picked up anything I typed with no problem (this gadget does not use infared, so you don't have to be somewhere special to angle and point the keyboard at the receiver). I have offically given up my computer chair and moved my recliner in front of my computer (I'm not joking!). You won't regret this, and you'll want to give one to everyone you know. Enjoy!

The Logitech cordless keyboard and cordless mouse utilizing the RF technology is a superb product. The RF(radio frequency) feature instead of the infrared type of cordless option allows an infinite variety of location positioning, without having to worry about the infrared line of site restrictions. The typing keys have a very good feel to them. The sizing and spacing of the keys works quite well. Probably the only complaint I would have with this keyboard is the fact that the batteries for the keyboard and mouse were dead when I received the product. The mouse offers all the cordless advantages plus has the intellimouse wheel scoll on it, which I have come to rely on in web surfing. This is an excellent product...I highly reccommend it.

I'm one of those people that buys cool gadgets just for the 'coolness' factor. As soon as I saw this at my friend's dorm, I bought it, and I have been very pleased. Now, here are the Pros and Cons about this cordless set:

PROS:

1) I'm sure you know that it runs on Radio Frequency, which means you DON'T have to point it in a particular direction for it to work. In addition, the receiver is very small, and you can hide it anywhere around your desk.

2) The customizable buttons on the keyboard are amazing! (set your buttons to any webpage, program, or shortcut)

3) The Music Player buttons on the keyboard are really helpful. I relax on my bed and listen to music, and skip songs, or stop, etc.

4) So much maneuverability in terms of where you can put the mouse or keyboard, and you can rotate or change at anytime, no entanglements

5) No matter what others say, the battery life and reception is spectacular. I've had it for 6 months now, and still have not had to replace any batteries.

CONS:

1) This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to get the cordless mouse and keyboard separately instead of in this package. This way, you'll get two separate receivers, and if you ever get a better replacement for one of them, you can still use the one you replaced at another computer or sell it.

2) My mouse had trouble with the scroll wheel, it would lock up after a bit, and not function. But then again, it just maybe because I have so many other peripherals (my friend's mouse works fine; he has the same product)

Everytime somebody comes into my room, they just stare for a moment and look for a cord, and then after they get over the shock, they ask if I really need it. And I answer with an emphatic "Yes" It's one of the best things I've ever purchased, and for the technology and convenience it offers, it is really cheap. It's a great purchase for students, professionals, as well as families.

My son is a technician for a local computer store.

He purchased one for each of us. I ruined a lot of mice by pulling on them and damaging the cord,

I also like to sit down in an easy chair and sometimes that cord on the mouse and keyboard just won't reach. This is an ideal product for a handicaped person as well.

Logitech products are the best. The keyboard is just right for me. Some boards don't fit my fingers. Sometimes the keys are too close together. I love Logitech!

Originally, I bought the iTouch Desktop as a Christmas present for my father, but when I saw the product, I knew I had to have one. Both the keyboard and the mouse are completely wireless. As an avid computer user, it has been invaluable in allowing me greater mobility and functionality. I no longer have to worry about cords that seem too short to work with my desk.

The mouse has two-buttons and a scrolling wheel (great for surfing the 'net!) The weight of the mouse is comforting and the movement is VERY smooth. The keyboard features programmable buttons and CD-Rom controls. My one complaint about this product is the keys on the keyboard are a little clunky. However, I prefer keyboards that have a light touch and high speed. For the average user, there shouldn't be a problem.

As a whole, the iTouch product is well worth the investment.

I received this at my door and what can I say but WOW! At first I thought this was just going to be another add-on but was I wrong, this is by far one of the best keyboard and mouse upgrade you can get! First thing I noticed was the expensive batteries that the package came with! The Utra Duracell's where included in the package to power up the keyboard and the mouse. The Keyboard was easy to install the two AA batteries, the mouse (takes 2 AAA batteries REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU BUY NEW BATTERIES! 2 AA and 2 AAA to replace both, I suggest getting Ni-mh rechargable batteries) may take a while to figure how to get the batteries in but with the added instructions is a breeze. So far as I type this review with the actual product, it has lasted me more than a month, and so far I have never had to replace the batteries. Next, the feel of typing, its wonderful! tactical feedback is perfect! I've had both Ibm and Dell keyboards for some time and just thinking that a third party keyboard like Logitech could out perform both amazes me! I thought Logitech only made great Mice but was a wrong! Other features on the keyboard that that I enjoy is of course the wireless portablity, having the keyboard on my lap is a big plus! I went to another room just to test it (100 feet) and the signals managed to drive into walls! Good Job Logitech! The keyboard has a smooth ergonomic groove to it, good style, and the extra MP3 buttons just top it off when I want to play winamp , also the mute button that controls the systems sound, and the standby poweroff button, the shortcut keys for internet surfing, how can you go wrong with this! And even more....ONSCREEN DISPLAY! Yes, just like my expensive big screen tv, the software logitech has once installed with show that cool green lettering so when you turn the volume up and down or use your shortcut keys (internet bookmark buttons) it will tell you via a green bar the level of your volume and also in WORDS tell you the shortcut site your going to. An example is I have one of my buttons preset for Microsoft Outlook, when you press the mail button on your keyboard, it loads up Outlook and displays in green lettering "MICROSOFT OUTLOOK", COOL! And how about the mouse? WONDERFUL! Logitech is known for making great mice! This mouse may be small and narrow but I have medium size hands so its perfect, and the scroll feature is smooth and easy to move with your "pointy finger" however if you have big hands It might be a problem. Its very hard to go wireless, just cause I still think I'm wired, but I can get used to this! and its a great item to show off to your family and friends not to mention the added mp3 buttons and internet shortcut buttons to show the gadgeteer in you. The only thing that confused me at first was the "warning some experts beleive keyboards cause serious...." engraved above the cursor keys, its very small but I dont need to have to read it everytime, if I wanted that I would have gone to the owners manual to read, also where are the 3 green lights for the caplocks, num locks, etc? oh ya, there on the screen monitor and take up space in the bottom right of your screen. Some great add ons is the color coded adaptors for easy plug in to almost any computer. Logitech is high quality and worth every penny!

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made! The cordless aspect makes it very easy to use. Plus the setup took a few minutes. Now I have a stereo remote, a shutdown menu button, internet hotkeys, a great keyboard and mouse, and a relly hi-tech setup. You have too buy this!

Logitech makes great products and by in large, this one is no exception. Assuming you have the right placement of the transmitter to eliminate interference from your monitor etc... it is a fast and easy set up. The keyboard is light, but you have to hit the keys a bit harder than I would like and its noisy. The mouse works well, and both do have that "cordless" advantage.

I was unable to kick back and type. I kept getting inaccurate keystrokes that appeared to be hardware error, not the operator. As long as I kept the keyboard on my desk... all was well, but since I got it to be able to move away from the desk, I can't say I'm thrilled with what I would consider to be a fairly big chunk of change going to this item.

Best wishes to all those who want to give it a try, I'm going back to the plug in myself.

This Logitech Cordless keyboard is a pretty good keyboard but I have two minor problems with it. The first problem is that the keys are too hard and if you don't push down hard enough the letter won't appear on the screen. This is a pretty minor problem but should be taken care of with Logitech's next keyboard.

The other problem is that the keyboard freezes up on me but I guess this is so because I've had it for a few years now. Despite those two problems this Logitech keyboard is a great buy and will be enjoyed by all. Buy it and have fun.

ENJOY!

This hardware definitely met my expectations. Out of the box and running within 5 minutes.

The optional shortcut features and software that are included are nice also.
