Digital camera reviews of Logitech MX3200 Cordless Desktop Laser (Black)
Digital camera Review: Keyboard keys stick
Summary: 1 Stars
Logitech is the leader in wireless technology but they need better mechanical engineers. The keyboard was acceptable when new (a little wishy-washy on the key feel but ok). But now after 1.5 years of light use, the keys stick so bad it is unuseable. The mouse is incrediblely accurate. I played Call Of Duty 4 complete and never had a complaint about response time or accuracy. Batteries for the mouse needs to be replaced about every 2months but the original batteries on the keyboard still going strong after 1.5years.
con: There is a very short range on the keyboard and mouse. Maybe 5ft max. Not a big deal for me because they give an extension cord for the USB transmitter so I have directly in the center underneath my couch. The keyboard sticky keys is a killer. It is not even like they are gummy. If you don't hit the key exactly square then it key does not go down. This is a major design bug that i have not seen on even the cheapest corded keyboards.
Pro: very good wireless technology. excellent mouse. Even the "stupid" extra stuff on the mouse is good. It has 2 buttons to go page forward and back in Internet explorer that is fantastic. The layout is great so if you don't want to use the extra junk then they are not in the way. However, the "stupid" extra stuff on the keyboard is just that... stupid and in the way. There is a Dumb zoom bar on the left and unfortunately that's the only way to grab the keyboard to pick it up. So when you pick up the keyboard the screen starts "zooming". Stupid and impossible to disable.
summary:
I really wanted to give logitech a good review on this because there are some things that are simply fantastic, but the negatives are just to great and in the end it is just going to end up in the trash.

I bought this to replace my MX duo because the connection was getting iffy... and it's a great replacement! Although I still miss my MX duo, this set isn't so bad. I feel there is a tiny tiny bit of lag when typing, but it's probably cuz I have been using wired keyboards for a few months so I'm adjusting.
The mouse is comfortable, I don't have a big hand, so it's perfect. I actually chose this set over the MX Revolution because of the mouse - it looks more normal and more similar to MX 700.
I find that the keyboard LCD lights up very well if you have the keyboard at the right height (aka on a keyboard tray), but not well at all if you have it too high up. Found this out by changing desks. I like the volume/media controls up top, not as big as I'd like the buttons to be, but I'll take what I can get. I've been using this set for about 3 weeks and battery life on the mouse is still showing "good"... so we'll see when it runs out!
Digital camera Review: Great product, but durability...

I purchased this in Nov. '08, and at first I loved it, I still do, but have been having some odd issues with it. They keys began to not respond like they should, which I believe was a connection issue (fixed now). I do have a lot of bluetooth wireless items in my house, including a Wii, and PS3, and another keyboard/mouse set of the same brand but higher quality. It doesn't have an issue with crossing the signals, but the odd thing is that it comes with a usb connection cord that you set up closer to your set and plug the wireless into it. Otherwise, it's a very good set. The software lets you know when the batteries get low, there are updates available (Dunno what they do, though) and it's got a lot of great features like music controls, a dynamic zoom, and a clock with the date built in. It's really an awesome set, I just don't know how long it will last me!
Also, I just read on some recent reviews that it is not very Vista friendly, but I can say that it is. I've had Vista longer than I've had this set, and it works just fine with it, I've had no problems. It might be Vista 64 bit users but I doubt it, because my husband's more advanced set works on Vista 64 bit.
Digital camera Review: Tiny letters

The keyboard is unlike all the other Logitech products I've purchased in the past with the smallest of font on the keys themselves. Not being a touch type person I often have to look at the keyboard and even with good lighting I can't see these keys very well.
The mouse was fine but they came as a set so they were returned that way. Thank you to Amazon for a quick RMA and a quick refund.
