2.0 out of 5 stars
Buy the Logitech LX 300 for only a few dollars more.., May 22, 2006
I also own the logitech laser LX3000 and the LX 700, and I initially liked the EX 110 for its cheap price, light weight, and small foot print (or lap print in my case). I've concluded that despite these benefits, in my opinion, this keyboard is cheaply made, and you get what yo pay for. The keys have a cheap feel to them, and the buttons on top look and feel low quality. I can already hear a very small piece rattling around in the keyboard that must have broken off from somewhere and I've only had this keyboard a few days. I guess it's good if you want something cheap and plan on upgrading in a few months, but you're better off with the LX 300 or better which is heavier and more solidly build. The reason I don't like the more expensive models is because they add buttons and features that most people, including me, don't need or want, but you're also paying more for top quality that feels better. The mouse is also junky; it's not ergonomic (curved for comfort) and the scroll wheel makes a lot of noise.

Great product with good price at Amazon, December 27, 2007
First of all, you really can't beat the price here with its great quality. Two years ago I purchased one set of this model and recently I purchased another three sets to replace all my computers' keyboards and mouses. Unlike the other more expensive models which are bulky, the EX110 keyboard doesn't occupy lot of space on the desktop.
The keyboard uses two AAA batteries and the mouse uses 2 AA batteries. The battery drain is considerably low and I use rechargeable NiMH batteries that last for a long time. I like the speedy buttons on the keyboard to control the sound volume and mute, plus a quick button to open up the calculator. This unit comes with both PS2 connector and USB connector. You can use its PS2 connector if you don't want to waste your limited USB ports. For the new Dell Vostro Desktop model that comes without PS2 port, you can just plug this unit's USB connector to one of your USB port and it works for both keyboard and mouse. With fresh batteries, the unit can operate six feet away from the reciver. Of course, make sure that you don't lay your cordless phone, cell phone or wireless network antenna around the receiver and you will do fine.
I am very please with this product. The fact that this model has been on the market for more than two years without being retired from the manufacture, it speaks its great value for itself. Best of all, you can plug the USB connector into your computer and it works without the need to install any driver. Unless you want to try out additional software provided on the CD by Logitech, you can just toss the CD into your desk drawer.

Small footprint, excellent value for light/intermediate use, December 28, 2007
At a price of only $29.99, I wasn't expecting too much, but this unit has delivered all that I expected - a functional wireless keyboard and mouse, working well right out of the box. I chose this unit because of (a) price, and (b) its small keyboard footprint. I wasn't seeking additional programmable buttons (though it has some), nor was I concerned with 800dpi pixel precision mouse performance, because it's not used for any work that detailed (like photo editing). We also didn't care if the mouse was "non-ergonomic", in fact, we prefer the 'older' style small mouse as opposed to the larger curved ergonomic style. Given these expectations, the EX110 does the trick for us. All buyers should consider listing what's important to them, in priority order, and let that be a guide for product selection. Many of us are so easily attracted and influenced by features and functions that we'll never use or use only infrequently.
Production quality appears sufficient for our light use, perhaps an hour each day; for a heavy user, I might be concerned about long term reliability of pounding the keys thousands of times, but that is simply an opinion and projection, and is not based on experience. I don't have enough time with the unit yet to experience the battery life (two AA in the mouse, two AAA in the keyboard). The system worked well right out of the box, and my wife, the primary user, is very pleased with it. The receiver sits under the desk totally out of view around 15 inches away from the mouse, with the thick desktop in between, with perfect performance. I didn't even have to install the Logitech drivers for my WinXP OS. My only product design complaint - the keyboard tilt legs (underside, in the rear, that lift the backside of the keyboard) are somewhat low, are not adjustable as on the more expensive units, and do not tilt the keyboard enough for her liking; this might be an individual preference.
