4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a competent Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, December 29, 2003

This review is from: Logitech Bluetooth Cordless Desktop MX Keyboard and Mouse (967301-0403) (Personal Computers)

After the disappointment that was Microsoft's Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, I wasn't expecting too much from Logitech's product. However, I'm glad I gave Bluetooth a second chance.

The mouse: Logitech's MX700 is one of the best wireless optical mice on the market today, and it's great that a Bluetooth version is now available. The mouse tracks accurately, without the jitter and lag of the Microsoft BT mouse. I can notice some skipping compared to my MX700, but overall the mouse included with this set works very well.

The keyboard: It's basically the same one as the keyboard in the Cordless MX Duo set, only with a Bluetooth radio instead of an RF transmitter. I like the key travel and tactile feedback of the keyboard, with a satisfying "click" at the end of the keystroke. Old-school IBM keyboard users will know what I'm talking about. Text input doesn't lag, and there isn't a 2-second delay for the keyboard to wake up after a few minutes like on the Microsoft one.

My only complaint is that battery life is on the short side, the included batteries ran out after only three weeks of somewhat heavy usage. Previously, I used a Microsoft Wireless Desktop and Logitech Cordless MX Duo, and those could go for months on one set of batteries. The Microsoft Bluetooth set I used also suffered from short battery life, so I'm chalking it up to the Bluetooth radio.

The charging station for the mouse on this set also serves as the Bluetooth transceiver, so you get a little less desk clutter. The wonderful thing is that unlike the Microsoft transceiver, you can actually connect your other Bluetooth peripherals through the Logitech device. I currently sync my Sony Ericsson T616 phone and iPaq 4155 PDA over Bluetooth with no issues to speak of.

Overall, this is an excellent product and the best Bluetooth input solution on the market. Though it's a bit expensive, it does its job well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as the_emperor_of_ice_ (reviewer two below) notes, April 1, 2004

This review is from: Logitech Bluetooth Cordless Desktop MX Keyboard and Mouse (967301-0403) (Personal Computers)

I'm not here to do a full-fledged review. Just that I've installed this combo for both my wife and a friend of mine and have seen a few months with both. Nobody has complained about the batteries or poor icons or what have you. Logitech keyboard designs have been using the same batteries for ages. We have owned about three Logitech keyboards and the batteries have only needed changing maybe once or twice a year tops. I basically just keep an eight pack in the house and have never run into issues. BTW, I get paid to review games. And I'll be honest, I like the Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse combos as well but I prefer this Bluetooth combos to Microsoft's current one.

The Bluetooth hub worked with both Nokia and Ericsson Bluetooth-enabled phones. The mouse is basically modeled on the Logitech MX700, which has proven to be my favourite mouse since Logitech's iFeel Mouseman (no longer in production). I don't notice lag in games and the charger is nice to have.

I've been using computers (heavy, heavy usage) since 1983-ish and this mouse is nothing close to as terrible as TheEmperorOfIce made out (no disrespect to you--I just don't agree with your summation and I've used these combos for several months). In addition to these reviews, go out and Google this item and read some other reviews and see what they think. Don't just take my word for it. This combo is not quite perfect, but it's pretty damn good.

Last but not least, head over to your local Best Buy/Circuit City/CompUSA/Fry's and check the combo out in person before you go online and order it for less cash. Not every keybaord/mouse combo is perfect for every person. Have a good one and enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best wireless keyboard+mouse set out there, July 17, 2004

"the_great_gob" (Europe) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Logitech Bluetooth Cordless Desktop MX Keyboard and Mouse (967301-0403) (Personal Computers)

I bought this set after a long search for a wireless set with a USB keyboard connector for my laptop (thanks to Toshiba for not putting one on my P10). When I opened the box and installed it on my laptop (prior to installing the drivers, which I had to download from Logitech's website) and no problems of detection (both on my Windows XP and Gentoo Linux systems). And everything worked like a dream after installing the software packages. If you take to time to play with the iTouch settings you can create a monster of the keyboard (attaching menus (instead of direct commands) to the hot keys, etc.)

I actually had no intentions of writing a review for this set, I didn't even buy it from Amazon but some of the reviews here gave such a bad impression that I had to. First the bluetooth hub works fine with non-Logitech devices, however if a bluetooth hub or similar device is installed prior to this set, the setup utility limits the hub to the keyboard+mouse set in order not to screw your existing Bluetooth configuration.

Someone made a point about the hotkey icons.
"Shopping Cart" for Shopping

How can you better describe shopping. The same goes for all the other hotkeys. I'm starting to doubt that you are talking about this particular product.

Also the keyboards battery consumption is quite economic, compared to my heavy usage (about 10-15 hours per day)

Why 4 stars? No users manual or software is included with the box. Downloading the software (around a total of 40 MB) can be frustrating for people using Dial-up.
