Digital camera reviews of Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Set
Digital camera Review: Coolest Design - Best of Ergonomics
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am sitting at my desk and I'm typing this review on one of the coolest keyboards I've seen. There is so much flow to the design of this keyboard, so much essence to the textures of the hand rests that one has to stop for a second and admire the creativity of its designers. This keyboard was made with one thing in mind - comfort. My hands are resting, my fingers are floating/almost hovering over the keys and it makes me smile - it is as if I'm actually learning again how to type.
This isn't all. The palm rest of the keyboard is adjustable to three different positions. I can't feel any stress on my fingers or arms and am yet to experience fatigue (although I am very doubtful I ever will). There are one-touch hot keys that I can use to access various Windows Vista features on my PC, like the photo gallery or the zoom. Oh and I set up my F-keys to instantly open up some of my bookmarked web sites, a few games, and some folders I use often. I read in the booklet that both the keyboard and mouse provide very long battery life and also there is an LED battery indicators to alert me when to change the batteries.
So what are you waiting for? Writers, teachers, gamers, moms, all: I highly recommend this set to you. You can't go wrong with COMFORT AND COOL.

Digital camera Review: Creamy keboard
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is outstanding, I would recommend it to anyone, the keyboard and mouse work excellent and I think that it is very comparable to the MX edition of logitech with a more reasonable price. Definitely a good buy.Digital camera Review: Decent for the price, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
The Logitech Cordless Wave keyboard/mouse set is a good deal for the money, but there are some faults... When used with a Mac, it seems that some of the programmable keys will lose their programming (they disc eject key, for example). The / key over the number pad is in a slightly different location than on a Mac keyboard, making touch typing a bit of a challenge until you've retrained yourself. The scroll wheel on the mouse is incredibly slow no matter how I program it, but it's better than no scroll at all, and the left and right buttons on the mouse are poorly located and frequently pressed accidentally. On the plus side, having access to the iTunes controls right on the keyboard is a great improvement over a Mac keyboard, and having a keyboard button to magnify the screen as needed is fab. The keyboard is a bit large, but the built in wrist rest is very comfortable. Overall, a decent cheap replacement keyboard and mouse.Digital camera Review: Delayed key response - update
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this board and mouse set for a couple of years. The mouse is OK. The keyboard is not. As others have experienced, my board has a random delay between key strike and screen response. Sometimes there is no delay; other times the delay is a second or longer for several keys in a row. I'm constantly making typos or waiting for the screen to catch up with what I've typed. Same with the navigation keys, so it's hard to position the cursor accurately.
This started soon after I got the board and has gotten worse over time. I tried all the canned suggestions on the Logitech website and others offered by their tech support staff (short of getting into my system config files, which I don't think should be necessary to make a keyboard work. I believe it is a hardware defect, so I'm trashing the board. I won't buy a wireless Logitech keyboard again, after this experience (and that's basically all they make now), so I guess I'm stuck with MS.
Update: I was wrong. The comment on my review is correct. Before I tossed the keyboard, I looked around the web, again, for more advice and found some on PC Advisor (uk) that eliminated the delay. The problem was a piece of Microsoft software that loads at startup and runs in the background.
Here's the tip that worked for me: "Click Start - Run. In the dialogue box type the word msconfig, then click OK. Click the Start-up tab. Scroll down until you find "PCMServices", and uncheck the box. Then restart your computer."
I also unloaded and reloaded Logitech software; I don't know if that was necessary. Anyway, this completely took care of the problem for me. I also noticed that others have had success by disabling other MS startup programs on the msconfig list.
I gather that PCMServices has to do with using a remote control (e.g., for TV) with the computer, which I don't do. Maybe this is why my keyboard zoom control doesn't work any more (and maybe other specialized keys that I don't use, too). For me, that's a small price to pay to get rid of the delay, when other keyboard commands work just as well.
Digital camera Review: Dissappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
Got this package as a Christmas gift and was excited because my father has the same setup and it works great. However, both the keyboard and mouse that I received are susceptible to 2-10 second delays. I switched with my father to see if it was my setup but his works fine down here as well. That being said, a 50% quality rate is completely disappointing for a company with the proven track record of logitech (I have purchased multiple products of theirs from computer mice to speaker systems and all of them, save the wave package, are fantastic).
