all keyboards

I purchased this product due to its Bluetooth capabilities. While it takes a bit more setup than your standard keyboard and mouse, it works extremely well. The keyboard and mouse work very well and have a great feel. The keyboard is extremely comfortable. The mouse charger also acts as a Bluetooth hub, which I used to connect my Palm Pilot and hope to use with a Bluetooth enabled phone soon.

The software also provides a few nice extras, such as onscreen volume display. Cap Lock/Num Lock/Scroll Lock onscreen display.

It came down to this product or the Microsoft Bluetooth setup. I chose Logitech both because of my previous success with their products and because the keyboard is a standard layout. The Microsoft version moves the Insert/Delete// block of six keys into a two column formation and doubles the size of the delete key. As a programmer, this frustrated me to no end.

Overall I am very impressed and I am planning on purchasing a duplicate set for my home.

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.

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.
