Logitech - MX 5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop

Well I owned this set now about 3 yrs. It is still working just as good as the first day out of the box. Ths cutomization for the keyboard and mouse are great. I have had to change the batterys in the keyboard once since i bought it, the mouse lasts about 5 days before you need to put it in the charger. I do really like this set-up for a desktop. Doesn;t work very well for laptop use. the keyboard is quite large along with the mouse. I does work on a blanket which was a nice surprise. It is a bit costly for what you get but if you purchase on sale then it is a good deal.

I love this product and it works well on my computer - had no trouble with set-up, but six months after purchase, the "mouse critical" power icon came up and after 24 hours of charging, I could not get it to stop sending me the message. E-mailed Logitech and since it was still under the manufacturer's warranty, they sent me a completely new set (including keyboard), no questions asked, and technical support was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Another seven months goes by - same problem. Now it's out of warranty and I'm either going to have to purchase another one or buy a different model. Haven't decided what to do about that yet. It would also be helpful if the LED function on the top of the screen had some back lighting. Would recommend, but with reservations.

I actually purchased this pricey keyboard hoping that I would not like it. I wanted to use it as a gauge against other lesser quality keyboards. Unfortunately I love it. From email notification, scrolling, one touch applications, temperature gauge (who really cares what the temp is in a room, but it is cool), and ergonomics. Get this keyboard you will love it.

Includes Logitechs comfortable mouse which is also rechargable-Awesome. Bluetooth tech means you can be all the way across the room. Very easy set up, for anyone who has every used bluetooth, you could do it in your sleep. Works on XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (dual-booting and a second computer). Have had for about 4 monthes now and not a single problem. Compared to standard wireless combos you are gonna pay more for bluetooth but entirely worth it for that extra distance, along with being able to connect to any bluetooth device (PS3). LCD is helpfull, but is not backlit, like other reviews seem to have thought, but not a big deal. Trust me this combo is worth the money.

Great keyboard and mouse. I'm connected with Bluetooth, and it works great! Initially I was getting some disconnect issues, but I played around with the computers "sleep" settings, and I'm happy to report that solved the issue. The price is a bit steep, but you get what you pay for here. I had a MS wireless keyboard and mouse, and it had a radius of about 5 ft. which was worthless for my home theater setup. This keyboard/mouse puts my previous wireless setup to shame. I've had this up and running for over a week now, and the mouse hasn't needed a single recharge even with heavy use. The keyboard isn't rechargable, but it appears it'll go roughly 180 days before needing new batteries (according to the on-screen estimate). Incredible! Zero complaints other than the screen on the keyboard being nearly useless in a very dark setting... However, it works great in normal lighting.

I got a killer price match from BestBuy to get this product for $70. I set it up initially on XP and it worked great. I got a new PC with Vista Business 32-bit and it worked great there too. Upgraded about 3 months ago to Vista Ultimate 64-bit, and it has nice options for use with Media Center. I've had the Microsoft Desktop 3000 for a while, and I wanted to move to a Bluetooth combo. I have my PC hooked into the TV and the wireless infrared had spotty connectivity beyond line of sight at times, or outside a couple feet. The bluetooth connectivity on this device is great, it works from the extreme ends of the room without issue. The mouse sensitivity is great. As with all logitech's the special config of the extra buttons is also great. The keyboard has a nice firm feel and really has been great with Media Center. I also love the fact that you can turn off both devices to save power. I typically do that and let the device go to sleep. Turning the power on brings the PC out of stand-by which is also nice. The bluetooth transmitter works great with other deives, I sync my phone and printer with it also. Nice bonus since I didn't have a bluetooth with my desktop prior. At its normal list I don't know if I'd drop that kind of cash, but having bluetooth rocks. It fit my needs perfectly. Now my PC is more a home media center than ever before and I'm not stuck trying to get clower to the TV just to perform basic tasks.

To those who are having problems with this, I'm guessing they are probably using Windows XP or are getting pretty far away from the receiver. This was primarily designed for Windows Vista and requires usage between a certain distance range of the receiver. If used properly, this will be the best keyboard mouse set you will ever buy. This is great for the living room on a media center PC.

MX5500 wireless combo is a very good product, easy to setup and use and short recharge time for mouse. . And what I like most there are no wires, and the so I'm not having to buy a million AA batteries for the keyboard like I had to do with previous keyboards. Even though it was more expensive than I planned but Best Buy had the best price on this item.
