Logitech MX 5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Combo

Comment:
Got this as a gift in October for my birthday. And while the overall, it is a good keyboard and mouse, it is built a lot less durable then many of the other logitech products I have. Currently, I have 4 keys stuck in the down position, and will not pop back up unless I manually pull them up (fn,windows key, enter on the numeric keypad, and the #9 key on the numeric keypad.) When I got through to customer support, was told that I would have to give the keyboard back to the person who bought it for me and have them send it in with the receipt. The person lives in New York, and bought it for me in Naperville when he was here on a visit.

I have owned the set for a little over a month now and it has been absolutely excellent. I have had no issues with the bluetooth dongle and it works flawlessly with my XPS M1330's internal bluetooth (great because i only have two USB ports). The keyboard is extremely comfortable and quiet and a breeze to type on. The media features and loads of hot keys are great. The display is extremely useful and I absolutely love the smart calculator feature. The mouse is by far the nicest mouse i have ever used. The high cost should not deter you if you want a great set by an excellent brand that will undoubtedly last forever.

I have used Logitech keyboards and mice for years. After upgrading to a new Vista notebook I decided to cut the cord, including the USB receivers. I really love the LCD display and built-in calculator. The layout of the Home/End/Page keys is different from your standard layout which took some getting used to. For keyboard junkies that use lots of function-key shortcuts in programs, the small keys are a bit irritating. Mouse works fine, but I finally turned off the automatic clicker on the scroll wheel (it is actually programmable based on what program is active). I find that the scroll wheel sometimes 'back tracks' when scrolling. Talking to others that have a Bluetooth Logitech mouse and they've experience it too. I found that removing the clicker made it more tolerable, plus it is a free-wheeling wheel and you can really fly with a good spin. Although a bit pricey for a wireless combo, notebook users with built-in Bluetooth will really love it.

Great products, but the mouse is too jumpy. There are times were the pointer would lag quite a bit to my movements. The mouse included should definitely not be used for gaming as you'll find your movements lagging a lot. Further, the pointer would not travel smoothly more often than it would lag. This seems to be apparent with all Bluetooth mouse (I had the first DiNovo keyboard and mouse). This characteristic has become more and more apparent, even when I'm not playing games. The keyboard, however, is wonderful and is a great design. It has a lot of features and I only wish that they would sell the keyboard seperately. Definitely would want at least a RF cordless mouse instead of a Bluetooth mouse to use with this keyboard.

This is hands down the very best keyboard and mouse I have ever owned! I let my mother try it out and she loved it so much she went out and bought one for work. Just look at all the features to see how impressive it is. The keys are fairly quiet and I usually can't stand using the extra software that comes with certain hardware but the Logitech software is actually useful. The mouse has a function where you can highlight and word on a page (webpage or word document) and press a button and it automatically searches for it in your favorite search engine, how cool is that! Plus the LCD screen on the keyboard also functions as a Calculator at the press of a button! Worth every penny!

I got this keyboard exactly when I expected it and it has truly exceeded my expectations. I'm writing this review from work right now, and I really miss the quiet, smooth keystrokes I get at home on my MX5500 Revolution. The dual-function F keys are a great new feature for me since I've never had a high-end keyboard before. The mouse doesn't disappoint either, though I wouldn't consider it ambidextrous. Looking at it should tell you why. Everything works wonderfully for me, though. Sorry to all the lefties out there.
