Good Product July 18, 2008
I've had this combo for about a month now and everything is working great. I used it with my laptop at first and now I'm using it with my desktop. Everything has worked great for both. You really can't go wrong with this for the price.
 Sexy battery eater July 14, 2008
I bought this because I had another Logitech wireless KB/mouse combo and loved it, despite the KB being contoured (something I dislike - I use a foam KB holder to cushion my wrists, so a contoured KB is always crooked). I was a bit dubious about the key layout on this one - the home/end/etc. keys are in a non-standard layout, and not one similar to any laptop I've ever seen, either. However, typing has a nice feel and the near side of it is NOT contoured, and the built in wrist rest (actually, more a palm rest) is the most comfortable hard rest I've ever used).
The worst part? I had to replace the KB batteries (Duracell Ultra Digitals, NOT cheap batteries!) in about a week - and my usage is not especially heavy. Then I read some of the reviews here, and saw that some people are apparently getting very long life from their batteries - in other words, their keyboards are sipping power, while mine was gulping it. I waited to see how long the second pair of batteries would last. I just had to replace the KB batteries again, about 3 weeks later. At this rate, I'll be going back to a wired KB/mouse - I don't own stock in any battery manufacturers, and I don't like to use cheap batteries with my computer stuffLogitech Cordless Desktop S510. I feel both sad and angry about the wasted money, and about what this has done to my opinion of Logitech products. My disappointment is serious; I've always had a high opinion of their products. :(
Sleek, sexy, and functional! July 5, 2008
The last logitech cordless desktop set I bought just bit the dust so I was looking for something very affordable yet high quality. This keyboard is so thin that it blends in well with my desktop, and without the wires it's easy to move aside, or even place in the drawer when doing book work. The wrist rest is also a nice touch, but unfortunately is not removable. My last Logitech cordless desktop had a removable wrist rest.
Making up for the non-removable wrist rest, I am really impressed with the mouse. Since it's optical, it moves smoother and the tilt wheel is perfect for those who like to do art/paint/photo editing on the computer. I normally zoom in to work on a small area at a time, and with the tilt wheel it easily scrolls me from side to side and up and down.
The mouse and keyboard arrive with alkaline batteries, which I soon replaced with rechargeable batteries. Overall, I feel this keyboard is the best value in a low cost, high quality keyboard and I would definately buy another one in the future.
 Love This Keyboard June 24, 2008
I replaced a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard with this RF Wireless Keyboard. I will NEVER purchase a Bluetooth keyboard again. It skipped letters, typed a "zillion" of one letter, and just plain did not work. This new RF Wireless keyboard works flawlessly. The design is very comfortable to use. I really like the volume button, the Windows Media Player button, the pre-programmed keys that bring up Word, Excel and Powerpoint and I like the programmable keys. All are very handy. In addition to how good it works, it is very nice looking.
Good bargain, nice style, but short range and sloppy key action June 23, 2008

The features and functions of this set are quite nice and good for media. (I haven't used the special mode function keys, though, so no comment there.) Ergo wise it's just fine, though the keys are a bit "spongy" and not as precise or crisp as the diNovo I much prefer. The keycaps are also on there a bit loose, and so add extra noise and wiggle when you type. Style-wise, it's that sleek diNovo-trending style, if you like that sort of thing (I do!).
As for the wireless part, this would be quite sufficient for desktop, but is not good for home theater. I didn't do enough research (dang) or perhaps I would have found this warning already, but range is about 5 feet, and drops off very quickly! At 6-ish feet, it's nearly useless.
Now, it's hard to see much on my TV (like me typing this review) unless I'm pretty close anyway, and I use a Logitech Harmony to control most media-center functions anyway, so this suits my needs fine for the money.
So, in summary:
+ features
+ styling
+ ergo
- loose keys
- very short (desktop-only) range
And, in the balance of cost (good bargain for wireless kb/mouse combo), features, style (looks good sitting on TV stand) and low frequency of use (pull this out when the Home Theater system needs maintenance or other extensive typing) it's a fine compromise for me. Thus, four stars. If it worked better across a longer range, and had crisper keys, it'd get five.
