4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Hardware, Iffy Software, February 25, 2007

I bought this Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser to replace my Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 (which I'd come to loathe). With the hardware, I'm very satisfied. The keyboard is a nice ergonomic version which I'd grown used to from my long-ago Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro. It's got a nice typing feel (not too hard, not too soft) and I've had no problems with it (the keyboard in the Microsoft Desktop 6000 dropped keystrokes). The only negatives I can come up with for the keyboard are that the space bar makes a bit of a clanking sound (which I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read about it here) and the palm rest does show the location of your hands from the oil residue (trivial really). The mouse is very comfortable and I've had no problems with it at all.

Where I have had problems is with the Logitech Setpoint 3.3 software. I'm using Vista, so since it's so new, that might be the issue (though the Logitech forums indicate the XP version has similar problems). In my case, even though the software loaded without trouble, I sometimes couldn't open the Setpoint program. It would basically hang when I attempted it. I also was getting no mouse status from the Logitech icon (keyboard status, yes -- mouse status, no). The forums indicate there's also a problem with the Secure Connect hotkey of CTRL-SHIFT (it conflicts with quite a few important keystrokes in Vista and applications) and with multiple keystrokes generating spurious letters. Because Setpoint was hanging on my system, I just uninstalled it and am running on the native Vista drivers (again, without problem). Without Setpoint, I'm lacking some features. But, I rarely use those things, anyway.

So, overall, I give the hardware an Excellent rating of 5 stars out of 5. However, because of the problems with the Setpoint 3.3 software, I'm subtracting 1 star. Still, that leaves an overall Very Good rating of 4 stars out of 5. Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy with the purchase, August 8, 2006

Overall, I am pleased with the purchase of this keyboard and mouse. One of my biggest concerns was being able to find a keyboard that had keys that weren't too difficult to press down. I went to a local store and tried typing on the Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000, and found that the spacebar was unbelievably stiff. Plus the keys didn't seem spaced well to me. They did not have the Logitech ergonomic keyboard there, but Logitech does have a tendency to make keyboards with lighter keys which is why I took a chance on this one. I was not disappointed. The keys have a perfect amount of resistance (not a lot). The keys make a soft clicking sound, but the space bar makes a much louder click, which could be annoying for anyone who hates noise while typing. I think the keys are perfectly spaced apart for me (medium sized hands), and the wrist rest is made of a soft material which is nice support. There are two sets of feet on the bottom of the keyboard. Two large ones on the bottom of the keyboard and two small ones on the bottom of the wrist rest. Something which could cause concern for others is the fact that the "home" and "end" keys have been shifted in order to make a more condensed keyboard. There are 4 preset buttons at the top of the keyboard which can be used to quickly open a folder or website of choice and this is a nice feature. The mouse is an extremely nice mouse. It curves nicely to the hand and has some extra buttons which are placed well. When I called Logitech's customer support and asked what the difference was between this keyboard and the keyboard in the Logitech Cordless Comfort Duo (as they look the same) she said that this keyboard is better made. What that means specifically, I am not sure. I do know I read a review for the other one about the feet on the bottom of the keyboard not being very sturdy, and the feet on my keyboard seem fine. So, perhaps that is the issue. Anyway, my hands are just flying across this keyboard with ease, and I am quite happy with it. I gave it one less star for the noise of the space bar (which I am already used to) and the fact that after shipping costs I almost paid $100 for it. Probably about 15 - 20 dollars more than I would have liked to pay for it. The keyboard and mouse also look sharp.

4.0 out of 5 stars the best keyboard I've tried, February 15, 2007

By

I bought this to replace my old Logitech Cordless Comfort Duo (w/c was still working, but I thought it would be simpler to buy a replacement than clean years' worth of grime).

Logitech did not disappoint. The comfortable split-keyboard is still the same design as their old version, with buttons that can be preset and a calculator key added.

The mouse is what's different. It's lighter, and its sleeker form is ergonomically better for your hand. Technically, it's a laser mouse not an optical mouse. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference; it works just as well. The new mouse does now have a useful battery-power indicator on top and a connect button underneath. There are new buttons on top for zooming in and out and returning to a 100% view and also a new button on the side for going forward to the next page on your screen, in addition to the old button they had for going back to the previous page.

It's the best combination of split keyboard and mouse I've ever used. The only thing holding me back from giving it five stars is the tilt wheel. It interferes with my being able to press down quickly and surely on the middle button. But that's just me. You may have a better appreciation of the ability it gives you to scroll horizontally.
