Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Installation: In Windows Vista plug in the USB adapter and you are done, it works. Then install the control panel in the included CD in order to take advantage of the advanced features.
Connectivity 2.5 GHz wireless: I opened my word processor and took the keyboard into the bathroom which is at least 30 feet away. The signal had to go through 3 ways, one tiled, and all 3 with live wire conduit running through them. I typed in the word "test" from over 30 feet, and then walked back into the living room, and there was the word test on the screen. This is in an environment where I am running numerous 900, 2.4, and 5.8 wireless systems in the same room, so no interference. Wow! I've grown accustomed to wireless keyboards needing the USB receiver brought closer to the keyboard with a USB extension cable, just to avoid drop outs. (Especially when the battery gets weak)
The Action: As guitar players well know the "action" or ease of [...]-flying over the neck/keyboard varies greatly. The MK700 features incurve rounded keys, and a padded arm rest, but more importantly, the keys are low profile, and respond readily to a faster/lighter touch than the usual long throw clickity clack of lesser keyboards. This will definitely improve your word per minute (WPM) average, especially after you grow accustomed to the action. It has a precision feel, and the whole slim profile smacks quality.
The Power: The fuel economy conscious amongst us will be amazed at a battery life of up to 3 years on the keyboard, and 1 year on the mouse. No more having to frequently change batteries, going through the peaks and lows of battery life, not to mention the cost savings.
Functionality & Saving Time: Lesser keystrokes rule. MSFT doesn't want unnecessary icons on your desktop. I guess they are resource hogs, although it's hard to beat moving your mouse to an icon, then use a single click. Well this keyboard beats it. With a simple setting you can over-ride your F keys, turning them into a single stroke task of your choosing. For example I can assign the F1 key to instantly take me to eBay, or any specific page of eBay. You can do the same with all of the keys in order to single stroke open any one of your favorite programs, files, folders, a custom menu, or keystroke assignment.
Hyper-Fast Scrolling: Zip to the top or bottom of a document with the improved scroll wheel, or any place in between.
I have been a Logitech keyboard fan for quite some time. This new MK700 just seems to do everything a little bit better. The mouse glides over the mouse pad easier. The keys are quiet and super fast. The settings always have been intuitive, but the additional options, with the new FN key, and F key conversion toggled option, streamlines frequently used tasks, taking typing efficiencies over to the top.
I can't find anything wrong with this keyboard, although I must admit I was getting excited about the LCD screen, and it turned out to be functional, but minimalist screen, designed to give you information while conserving battery power. I understand that in the days of hybrid technology, saving battery life is of paramount importance. Additionally not having to remember to park your mouse in a charger avoids the "my mouse is out of power" blues. Overall I would put this MK700 up against anything else on the market, and it would be hands down (no pun intended) the winner. Highly recommended.
Summary of Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700 Keyboard and Laser MouseThe Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700. Where comfort and productivity go hand-in-hand. Concave keys position your fingers properly, and their softly rounded edges invite your fingertips to glide from key to key, hour after hour.
