logitech wireless keyboard

[inmate]

I` m thinking of buying the above with the wireless optical mouse, anyone rate them? they go for £99.99 from pc world. Anyone know if i could buy cheaper elsewhere?

Wireless keyboards are ok but i prefer the cabled models because i find them a bit unreliable

If its an iRDa Model you have to have line of sight. Microsoft do the Blue tooth model at the sam price and you dont need line of sight but you need XP SP1 for it to work

dabs.com value wireless keyboard and mouse £23.00
not tried it so don't know of quality

Just switched back to wired mouse as I prefer

I have one, it's one of the older versions with the controls for music on the keyboard. Make sure you get one with a charger for the mouse, because my mouse eats batteries.

Approx £70 from www.overclockers.co.uk


I have the the wireless keyboard and optical mouse (not the latest MX version) and find it very good. A little strange at first (the mouse) but I've had it a year and it's been fine.

I bought logitech's cheap and cheerful wireless kbd and mouse a couple years ago ... kbd has always felt a bit zunky and flimsy but still works fine. Mouse wasn't optical and was shite coz the ball didn't roll smoothly. Wireless kdb and mouse have benefits, but at £100 when a wired kdb costa a tenner probably worth shopping around.

I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse about a year ago - keyboard is fine, but the mouse batteries appear to run out every 3 months with 'frequent - regular' use.

I've recently switched to an optical mouse which has been much better.

I would buy a seperate keyboard and mouse as Logitech for some stupid reason don't do a bundle with their brilliant MX optical mouse.

Why is it so good? Because it comes with a recharging cradle so you don't need to about with batteries which cost money and it is the best optical for games and DTP because of the better CCD in the base.

Alternatively you could buy some NiMH batteries and a charger. NiMH are good because you don't have to let them fully discharge before recharging.

Got the logitech keyboard and mouse when I bought a Dell PC two months ago. For me it cost an upgrade fee of about £50 from memory. I would recommend it though the mouse is on it's third pair of batteries (walkman size).
