5.0 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard! 10 Stars, December 13, 2006

I returned two other wireless keyboards because the ergonomics were poor. This is a work of art, the keys type to perfection. It does take some getting used to, in comparison to my old logitech wired keyboard. The keys are slightly closer together. It's very light weight, slim and the design is just awesome.

One small complaint about the mouse, the scroll buton clicks rather loudly. Other that the mouse works great. I could say that the mouse is on the cheap side, but that may be too harsh a remark.

I would have (should have) bought this keyboard first, but the photo confussed me. I was not sure about the silver edge that ramps down. I thought it was going to ramp down too much, and that it would be too large. It's not too large for me, but could be a problem for some.

I am very fussy when comes to keyboards, and if you are like me, you will never hit 100%. I am giving this one 10 stars and rating it 95%.

3.0 out of 5 stars Close, but not quite..., May 9, 2006

This review is from: Logitech Cordless Desktop S510 (Personal Computers)

I've been an avid computer hobbyist and professional for more years than I like to discuss, so I've used a lot of keyboards in my time (and used them heavily). As a result, I'm very picky about my keyboards.

In the search for a new "favorite" keyboard, I tried this S510 and found it mediocre. Although it comes in a keyboard/mouse combo, my interest was solely in the keyboard. I found the key spacing and size a little bit odd (eg, the distance from cursor keys to "enter" or the size and placement of "delete"). A bigger problem is the built-in wrist-rest. It's too large to properly pair with a normal wrist-rest, but too short (and the upward swell too close to the keyboard) to use it without a separate wrist-rest. So ergonomically it doesn't work for me at all. If you have very small hands or a very thin wrist-rest this may not be a problem for you. All of that combined with a defect in my model (a bad contact under the letter "A") led me to return this product.

That all being said, this is quite a lot better than the average, say, Dell keyboard that ships with a new PC. The Logitech software is as good as ever, the setup is quick and painless, this RF model has no transmission speed problems that I noted, and the keyboard is attractive and stylish. But if you're buying new, consider the Logitech MX3000 or Logitech dinovo instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal at the Price; Reliable!, January 7, 2008

This is not a top end set, but the price isn't top end either. For me, it does exactly what I want it to do . . . work reliably. I have never had a problem with reception on either component, and the battery life is astounding. If you are looking for wireless at the "entry level" price, you can't go wrong here.
