Digital camera reviews of Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 300
Digital camera Review: Cordless Desktop Works
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very happy with this product. I have had wireless keyboard/mouse combinations in the past and this is the best. It seems to have intuitive battery management as I am using it on my laptop and I am still on the first set of batteries after several weeks of off and on use.Digital camera Review: Does the Job:) Great Product :)
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this with my laptop so I can be more comfortable while I am online, this is a nice product, I am pleased in every way with it.Digital camera Review: Everything I'd hoped
Summary: 5 Stars
This keyboard works flawlessly. I had a Microsoft Natural (wired) keyboard, but after I got a laptop it was too much of a transition going between the laptop's standard keyboard and the MS Natural split/angled one on the desktop computer. The Logitech has a nice quality feel to it. I actually wish my laptop keys felt more like this. All the default settings for the shortcut keys and controls work perfectly with my system. I made some minor changes, but it was perfectly fine right out of the box. I especially like the mute key when I'm rocking out and my wife is trying to talk to me from the living room (the + volume key works well in this instance, too!) When I ordered this keyboard I was afraid I was compromising based on the low price, but I can't imagine what a more expensive one could have to make it better than this one.
I am not using the wireless mouse that came with this keyboard. The one I already had has more features and works great, so I stuck with it. I was afraid that having two components of different brands with transmitters and receivers sitting right next to each other might cause a problem, but they both work just fine. The keyboard works a lot farther from the computer than my eyes do, so range is not an issue. I would definitely recommend this product.
Digital camera Review: Excellent Keyboard ... Heavy Ho Mouse!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I received my LX300 Wireless Desktop yesterday. The moment I opened the covers, I realized how light the whole product felt. I was happy. The keyboard is excellent. It's light, and wears a nice professional looking black color. There are so many useful pre-programmed buttons, which launches commonly used programs like Outlook, Word, Media Player, browser. To top it, there are 4 extra buttons which you can program to open your own choice of applications. Since I am using notepad for practically, all my text related activities, the first button went to Notepad.exe without a thought!! Oh man, how much I love this keyboard!! And all these niceties without the clutter of wires dangling around from the back of my laptop. I have tested the keyboard as far as 15 feet away and it WORKS!! It's only limited by my vision that I cannot understand a single line of text from 15 feet away .... (well, can't blame the keyboard by stretch of imagination).
Now the mouse: In short, an obese spoilsport.
Nowhere near it's talented lean looking brother (keyboard). The moment you touch the mouse, you feel like moving a heavy pebble beside a riverside!!! Man, if this thing ever falls on my head, I'd surely develop cracks on my cranium!! Blame the two heavy AA batteries for this. It ought to be AAAs.
The mouse is also, not very accurate. All of a sudden and out of the blue, the pointer wanders away on its own sweet trail. There is a slight noticeable lag too. You cannot rely on this mouse to do any accurate stuff like removing red eye in Adobe Photoshop. Today morning, I was surprised when I was moving the mouse southwards on the pad, and the pointer was actually moving westwards on the screen!!
Maybe I will stick to my old wired USB mouse by Microsoft for now.
In brief, a good purchase, if you can live with the fat mouse.
The keyboard is a gem.
From 5 stars down to 3 stars, thanks to the mouse.
UPDATE: FOR MAC USERS
Beware, Mac users.
Although the specs say its "Designed for XP", it still works with a Mac, nonetheless.
But if you are thinking to use it with a Mac, be prepared for a frustrating experience.
Occasionally, Mac OS X will fail to "recognize" the wireless unit and you have to set up the whole thing again. When it is connected, the lag of the mouse is very noticeable. And the keyboard is also not spared. This lag can be really frustrating, since 99.99% of your time you are using either one of the two or both. The colorful spinning ball will greet you everytime you comeback to your Mac after a break. All the features like scrolling, program keys work, but you wont have the "smooth" feeling using them.
Out of this disgusting computing experience, I just disconnected the whole Logitech unit from my Mac minutes back and connected the matching white Apple keyboard and mouse (USB, wired). This all-black logitech wireless combo does not even look good with an all-white Mac desktop!!! :-)
So, Mac users, buy something Mac compatible which is clearly mentioned in the specs. Logitech has other wireless comBos that are designed for a Mac.
But NOT THIS one, DEFINITELY.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PURCHASE.
MAY YOUR HARD-EARNED BUCKS FIND THE TRUE VALUE FOR MONEY.
Digital camera Review: Excellent Keyboard/Mouse Combo for the Price
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this combo due to the price, keyboard layout, and both devices use AA batteries. I have owned several brands and optical mice with AAA batteries just don't last. Excellent design, quality of construction and the volume/media/mute keys were an added bonus. I did not load the included software as there is a newer version available at the Logitech website. For less than $50, this is by far the best!
