5.0 out of 5 stars This is the perfect keyboard..., May 6, 2002

Finally, a natural keyboard that is wireless. This keyboard is absolutely perfect. Great range. Great touch and feel. Regardless of what the person who disparaged the positioning of the key layout, I find the key layout perfect for me (as a developer.) The battery life for the keyboard is phenomenal, the mouse's battery life is average and comparable with other cordless mice. The mouse itself is fantanstic though. Great shape, extra 'thumb' button near the base of the mouse is quite useful. Very heavy, making for greater precision. Very smooth. All in all, the best keyboard I have ever used AND a great mouse. On top of it all, WIRELESS! Yes...

4.0 out of 5 stars Logitech Does it again, alomost............, August 24, 2002

I really like this keyboard and mouse setup. The board is great and the mouse feels just as good as my older 5 button Logi mouse. The only reason I dont give it five stars is because the mouse is not optical. That would have done it. I have used the ergonomic keyboard for the last five years and find them great. The person who complained about keys being in different locations, well thats why this is called an ergonomic keyboard. Either get used to it, or keep typing in that cramped style that you like. This setup it deffintly the package to get when you want to get the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars 6 key is on the right side (the left side), November 6, 2002

The left side of the keyboard is the correct side for the 6 key. I don't know which keyboards the reviewer that complained about the 6 key's position has used previous to this one that has him feeling that the 6 key should be used by your right hand, but this layout is dividing the keyboard down the middle by which hand uses which keys. The top row has 7 keys on each side. `123456 for left and 7890-=[backspace] for right, making it perfectly even for each hand.

People who do not type correctly, such as using their right hand to type "t" or their left hand to type "y", or their right hand to type "6" as already mentioned, will have difficulty at first finding these keyboards cumbersome. However once you adjust to the new layout you will never want to go back to the flat scrunched up keyboard again.

I have huge hands that I can not even come close to fitting on a flat keyboard and the only people that need to be slapped are the ones that continue to make flat keyboards. And well feel free to slap Microsoft employees any time that you want to for any reason, but still, the 6 key is in the correct place.

And as already noted by the other reviewer, why didn't logitech make this mouse optical? If they're going to the trouble of making these great wireless devices, they could atleast throw in the optical mouse.
