1.) Pro 2400 Cordless Desktop review
Reviewed by: me west coast
Rating:

It is really plug-and-play device, just plug it in and it works.

Communication between mouse, keyboard and computer is 100% perfect, I see no lost keystrokes or things like that.

The only complaint I have is that left "windows" key is higher than I was used to and I sometimes hit it in the heat of the fight in HL2 or similar games. It takes me back to the desktop and causes mild annoyance but other than that, it is perfect.

Bottom line: solid long range wireless keyboard and mouse with classic layout and good price. There are additional keys but these don't get in the way and can actually be useful (volume control, email client, browser etc.)

2.) Good Kbd/Mouse for Long Distance
Reviewed by: MAT_Blue

After struggling with other wireless keyboard/mouse combinations to control the computer hooked up to my HDTV, this one works great. I can use it as far away as I need to (25 feet) and never drop a keystroke or mouse movement. I've had it for over 2 months now and have not had to replace the batteries yet. It probably helps to turn the keyboard off when not in use. There's a convenient power switch on the top. Overall, a good solution for the price.

3.) Great Keyboard and Mouse

I had been looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse for a while, but wasn't too keen on spending $100+ for them. My main concern was distance as I would be using the keyboard and mouse from my sofa (PC is in the entertainment center - enclosed, ~10 feet away). Based on reading tons of reviews of various sets, I determined 2.4Ghz or Bluetooth was the way to go. Bluetooth, of course, gets you into that $100+ category. This set came up towards the end of the list, IF you searched for the right keywords.

I set everything up last night. The install couldn't have been easier; plug in the dongle, wait for Vista to load the drivers (10 seconds), start typing and mousing away. I don't notice any delays in registering keystrokes or mouse clicks. Everything functions exactly as you would expect it to.

4.) Amazing

This is the best desktop set ever. I can use both the mouse and the keyboard from anywhere in my house. It doesn't do any good more than 15 feet away, but I can do it, and that's just amazing. The mouse and keyboard both work as well as any I've ever used.

5.) excellent design

This setup has great range. I use this on the computer that I have hooked up to my 42" LG LCD television, and I'm able to sit on the other side of my living room and play PC games with no lag in communication between the mouse/keyboard and dongle.

I'm not much of a mouse user, so it drives me nuts when there's no right-click key to the right of the space bar, which seems to be a difficult find amongst wireless keyboards. Also on this model, Logitech did not re-arrange the Insert-Delete-Home-End-Page Up-Page Down keys, so the keyboard layout is very similar to standard layouts, making my transition from one system to another less frustrating.

6.) Perfect for HTPC
Reviewed by: J. Landry New Orleans, LA

I recently purchased a computer to use as an HTPC, and as I started researching wireless mice and keyboards, I realized I wouldn't be able to use most of them from much further than 3 feet or so. Since this particular set uses different wireless technology, it's perfect. I've used it at a range of about 15 feet, and it's worked perfectly. This set might not have all the fancy bells and whistles of other wireless keyboards, but if you need range, this is the way to go.

7.) Great Combo, with one small omission
Reviewed by: kramer

I just recently got this combo and it is very comfortable. It actually replaced my logitech 1500. Setup was quick and i like the fact that the wireless receiver is like a jump drive; it's not corded like previous ones. One small issue that i miss is the back/next buttons on the mouse.

8.) Works Great - Easy Start-Up - Keys a bit hollow feeling
Reviewed by: VeritasRex New Orleans, LA

This is a great product for the price. The mouse and keyboard work well. The heyboard is a bit hollow feeling, but nothing that should make you avoid purchasing at this price point. The keyboard also came with an ergo attacvhement whichwas a pleasent surprise.

FYI, the mouse is in the box. It was hard to find at first because the separate comparment it is in makes the box look like a false bottom (like in a magic trick) but it is there. Alakazam!

9.) Good set for the price (can be used on PS3)
Reviewed by: maz san diego

I purchased this duo to use on my PS3. The PS3 allows you to brows the internet but if you're sitting on your couch about 12 feet away, most wireless mice/keyboards go out of range. This 2.4 GHz unit did not have that problem at all.
The receiver is pretty small too, so it's low key in my PS3. It works well on the PS3 and you don't have to do anything...just plug in the USB receiver (which is about .5" x 3") and the PS3 automatically recognizes it.
I only have one complaint about this product. The mouse doesn't have a button on the side to set up as a "back" button for internet browsing. I really got used to having this convenient button on my last mouse and I'm really missing it on this mouse. Also the keyboard and mouse don't feel that ergonomic. The mouse just doesn't mold to the shape of your hand like some higher quality mice do.
That said, for the price, this is a pretty good bundle. It performs adequately in my opinion, and my only other "long range" option would have been bluetooth (which are twice the price).

10.) Good value/Price

Keyboard and mouse are of good quality materials, but the mouse cuts in and out at fifteen feet, it says it can go 32 feet. Keyboard is very sturdy and has no distance issues.

11.) Good keyboard, disposable mouse
Reviewed by: David R. Hicks Arlington, Va.

The keyboard is adequate, and the tiny USB receiver (that plugs into the computer) is pretty great -- much better than the giant wired dongle my last wireless keyboard had. But the mouse is truly terrible. I can't adjust it in XP to not be either jumpy and uncontrollable, or sluggish and slow. The scroll wheel button is truly unusable. I had to take my hand off the mouse get enough leverage to push it down. I pushed it a couple more times experimentally, then tossed it in the trash and plugged my old wired mouse back in.

12.) Wireless Crap
Reviewed by: Christian Fredrickson Evanston, IL USA
Rating:

This keyboard and mouse on the surface appeared to be perfect for my HTPC/Game PC. Light weight small usb receiver. One I got it hooked up and running with the drivers installed I realized I was wrong. After about 10-12 repeated key presses the keyboard would stop working and not work for about 30 sec. No good for fast typing or games.

I returned it and got a Microsoft Comfort 5000 desktop. It has around the same price and it works as claimed.

13.) Stopped Working after 6 months!

Looks like this product is no longer available, so I guess this is a useless review. However, the entire top row of letter keys stopped working. I bought this back in April, 2009, and it just stopped working today (12/27/2009). Tried everything to get it to work again, to no avail. Shame on you logitech for having this built in China.

14.) Avoid. Keyboard Did Not Work

Easy to setup. But, keyboard did not work. Defective. Keys were jammed. Returned. Recommend avoiding. Buying a different model.
