 Probably best Wireless M/K combo November 27, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This thing is good. It's almost good enough to game with. the mouse has good features. I couldn't really see a wireless mouse and keyboard doing better than this anytime soon. All wireless equipment has some set backs, that being said...this is probably the best you can get. I've actually been able to get about 15-20 feet away with this thing and it still work. I use this keyboard and mouse when I'm on the couch browsing on my tv(I'm actually doing it right now while writing this review, distance 7-8").

I've always loved the Logitech cordless mice but been less a fan of their cordless keyboards. But since I really liked my stand-alone Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse (910-000718) and was happy with my 2 corded Wave keyboards, I thought I'd give this combo of a try.
I'm glad I did. It pairs a premium version of my favorite MX1100 mouse with what so-far is my favorite cordless keyboard.
My concerns with past cordless keyboards have been lack of ergonomics for extended use for the many computer hours I spend daily, and lag/key-repeat problems which manifest most obviously in PC gaming, but I notice in other usage also. Neither of these are problems with my new Wave.
The Wave keyboards (both corded and this cordless) have a great level of responsiveness. The programmable and multimedia keys offer full functionality but aren't "in the way" for people like me who don't use most of them. The keys have some firmness, giving feedback to my typing but not so much that I have to check that each keypress took. The slight undulation (the namesake "Wave") of the keyboard seems to fit the natural reach of my hands without having a learning curve.
I put the new cordless and old corded Waves side by side and they appear entirely identical, except the symbols on the multimedia keys are black (on this Cordless Wave Pro) instead of white. No other visible differences.
Versus my old corded Dell keyboards and the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3000 Laser (967553-0403) that this set replaced, I seem to typo less and type a little faster.
I've also tried the Logitech diNovo Edge and S500. I prefer the Cordless Wave Pro hands down to both.
The built-in wrist-rest of the Wave is the exact right size for my hands and angled well; I don't miss my separate wrist-rests at all.
Now for the mouse: the ergonomics of the older MX1000 (which I liked, but never QUITE worked for my hand, always felt a little too small) are addressed in the MX1100. Sensitivity and layout is just right; the thumb grip reminds me of the Logitech 931689-0403 MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse (Black) without the added bulk of that mouse.
Versus the stand-alone Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse (910-000718), the bundled MX1100 in this set is a lighter mouse with a single rechargeable/replaceable battery and a mini USB port on the mouse that attaches to a plug-in power adapter that lets you work while it recharges. I like this design better (lighter, no disposables). Although it seems odd for Logitech to design two nearly identicaly but notably different mice under the same name.
The software works well and is easy to understand. It's a great multi-button mouse that doesn't require additional configuration. It's a great keyboard with expanded functionality that doesn't get in the way of basic keyboard usage.
Quibble: The keyboard function (F) keys are a little small if you use them much. And that's my only quibble!
At this writing, I've been using the set for about 3 weeks.
Highly recommended. This is the best on the market today.
 Awesome mouse, so-so keyboard November 20, 2008

I've done a more extensive review of the mouse here Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse (910-000718). The short answer is it's the best mouse I've ever used. Yes I own two copies of this mouse, the standalone version and the one bundled with the keyboard. There are a couple minor differences between the two which I'll mention below.
The main difference between the mice is that that standalone version can run on 1 or 2 batteries while the bundled version only runs off 1 and can be recharged via USB. It comes with 1 Eneloop AA rechargeable battery and a USB cord so you can recharge it from the mouse. Of course you can also use regular AA batteries in it. Just remember not to charge it if you put in non-rechargeables. The standalone mouse can use rechargeables but you cannot recharge the batteries directly from the mouse.
The other difference is how the SetPoint software displays battery life. It only gives general estimates such as 'Good' or 'Low' whereas the standalone version actually gives me detailed estimates in days (e.g. 284 days left).
The keyboard is large so you need plenty of desk space for it. The ergonomic wrist pad is nice and comfortable. The pad is dimpled like a golf ball and those dimples are magnets for crumbs to get stuck in. Keep a can of compressed air handy. There are a lot of extra keys and they are useful. There are dedicated keys for the calculator, default music player, volume controls, etc. You can map most of those keys to other functions as well. The keys have a nice feel and have just about the right amount of clickiness to them. I noticed the lettering on the keys appears to be stickers instead of stamped on. I hope the stickers never come off. The keys are also not perfectly even, but are angled slightly. I guess it's some ergonomic thing. It looks a little unusual but I haven't found it makes any real difference to me either way.
I have one major gripe about the keyboard that bring the overall usefulness down a notch - non-standard arrangement of some important keys. First, the function keys are in 4 groups of 3 instead of 3 groups of 4. Second, the ins/del/home/end/page up/page down keys are not arranged in 2 rows of 3. I've had too many years being trained in a specific layout and Logitech went against standard convention to confuse me. I constantly hit the wrong keys because of this.
Overall the keyboard delivers a lot of useful features but it's odd key layout makes it more difficult to use than it should be. 5 Stars for the mouse but only 3 stars for the keyboard.
Excellent choice November 19, 2008

If you have bee putting off the decision to buy a cordless keyboard, it's time to lay it to rest and face your anxieties. It's time to spoil yourself, after all you deserve it. It's time to make the decision to go with the latest and greatest in ergonomic design and comfort.
Take a chance on this product, I'm sure you won't regret it. I didn't.
The keyboard was designed to make it easier on your hands when all the creative juices are flowing and the last thing on ones mind should be wrist pain. There is flow to this design, sleek texture and ease. Your hands never feel pressure while you type, your fingers are floating, your mind is absorbed by the thoughts that you try to convey on your screen, there is nothing to stop you from typing what you truly want to type.
The keyboard's palm rest is adjustable to three different positions. The one-touch hot keys on the keyboard allow access to various Windows Vista features like photo gallery, zoom and music. The F-keys can be pre-set to instantly open up favorite web sites, games from your PC, or frequently used folders. The LED battery indicators alert you when its time to change the batteries. So what's left? For you to make the decision to buy it.
Highly recommend.
