Great Keyboard and mouse.......2007-12-30
Well if you are not computer savvy, I dont recommend this product. What happend to me was that 3 days after I got the product, I clicked on the connect button under the keyboard, because I lost my signal and it asked me for the passcode it showed on the screen (why they chose to do it this way, I have no Idea), well by mistake I typed in the wrong code and it locked me out. Luckly I owned a wired keyboard and mouse, so I had to use them to log in after restarting. I was able to get everything working fine after that. So far so good.
One bad thing is that it still has some kinks to be worked out. When surfing the Internet, I like to use the back button on the mouse, instead of using the browser button, somehow It gets stuck and when you type anything, it keeps on going back. I'm still trying to work it out.
I recommend it if you know what you are doing, and you don't usually call the help desk, because they will not be able to provide much help. If you are not good with computers, I recommend you to buy another logitech wireless system, not the bluetooth.
Good luck
Extremely Unstable!!.......2007-11-12
Its Bluetooth connection loses very often, once every half hour or so. And when the connection is lost, there's no way to reconnect except for waiting for it to recover itself in a minute or two. (As I'm typing this review, I lost my keyboard connection once...)
hopeless.......2007-10-17
i found that mouse fails especially when I'm doing some serious work running against time. forget about the monitory thing, it not only wastes your time in setting it up several time a day but also irritates you and tortures you mentally when the mouse denies to work while you are seriously working. my best advise is, don't buy this
NOT VISTA 64 BIT COMPATIBLE.......2007-10-05
ok, For anyone thinking of upgrading to windows vista 64bit THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE. Logitech in my experience makes excellent and durable cordless mouse and keyboard sets. Im sure this is not an exception and I would give this a 4 or 5 star except for the fact it lists on the box that it is vista compatible.. vista 64 is still vista and they need to specify it does NOT WORK on it. so the vista compatibility is a crock. (the fact it came out before vista is irrelevant... as it says on the box it is compatible and they can support thier products by creating drivers) The problem is the bluetooth dongle is not recognized and is a "unknown" device. (works fine in vista 32 bit). looking at the support boards ect this is a common problem.. there are supposedly work arounds (you should not have to.. when it says vista compatible) like installing another companies dongle drivers or editing microsoft configuration files, rebooting , press F8, buy another dongle to use with it.. sell your first borns soul... that sort of thing. works for some, not for most. how much of this is logitechs fault and how much is microsoft's is not really clear.. but vista compatible is certainly misleading and Im sure there is more than a couple thousand boxes sitting in peoples garage because logitech doesn't list this right or support it.. shame on you logitech.. great way to lose loyal customers who have been so for years.
create a damn 64 bit driver or specify clearly on the packaging NOT FOR USE WITH VISTA 64 BIT.. my take.. wait for then next version of the combo which hopefully vista 64 will support or better yet vote with your wallet and buy another brand. 2 stars for false advertising. otherwise probably a decent product in xp.
Great item if installed right!!.......2007-09-23
I was worried about buying this set after reading some negative reviews about it. I picked up this set for $55.00 refurbished @ e*** and I am very glad I did. Key factor with the bluetooth technology is the software version, I am using the latest version and it works as advertised. So far I only have good things to say about it, specially the price for such an awesome set. I would suggest anybody in doubt to buy it. You will be very happy too but make sure you follow the installation instructions to the dot and that you use the latest software version for your particular O.S. (XP, Vista, etc).

Customer Reviews:
One of the best I've used.......2007-12-27
I really like this keyboard/mouse combo. The keyboard has a nice, tactile feeling and the low-profile black and silver look goes great with my Samsung monitor. The mouse feels very precise and the size is great for me. About the only thing that bothers me is that the keys (particularly the space bar) are a bit noisier than on the one I tried in the store, but I suppose they're all a little different. Overall, though, I highly recommend it.
poor reception.......2007-12-06
I got this from Amazon for ~$50, and the keyboard and mouse works fine, that is if I were to sit within 4 ft from the receiver. I had originally HOPED to connect the keyboard and mouse wirelessly and be able to control my laptop while I'm on the couch and use the tv as the monitor. I am not exaggerating when I say beyong 4 ft, this bad boy does not recognize any key stroke nor movement from the mouse, intermittent response at best at a distance. fyi, my couch position is about 8 ft from the receiver.
limited range.......2007-12-06
This is a nice looking keyboard mouse combo. For working at a desk and getting rid of clutter, it works fine. The keyboard is fairly slim and shallow but its works okay. Mouse doesn't turn off automatically.
The problem I had was I wanted it to be used remotely with a PC at one end of the room and the keyboard/screen at another side. I have found that it only works up to about 10ft away from the transmitter when bluetooth devices have no problem working at the 15ft range where I need it to work. Therefore, it's pretty much useless for my purpose.
Looks like you need to spend more than $100 for Logitech's bluetooth enabled keyboards if you need the range.
Logitech Wireless Keyboard/ Mouse Combo S510.......2007-11-25
I like the keyboard/ mouse combo, it works great I would recommend that if anyone want a great deal they buy from this seller, and Amazon.
Works good when in range.......2007-11-15
I got this keyboard for a friend of mine to use in her classroom. To allow her to use a keyboard and mouse even when away from her "Smartboard" device. This is an average sized high school class room. The keyboard and mouse worked fine. However it would not reach all the way across the room. We ended up using the Gyration, which has a great range. If you are just going to use this on a desk, this is a great keyboard and mouse to get.

Customer Reviews:
Space bar only works sometimes. Customer service sucks.......2007-12-20
I purchased this keyboard/mouse combo in Aug of 2007. I like the look and feel of it, however almost immediatly I started having problems with the spacebar not responding. Unless you press hard on the middle of the spacebar it will not leave a space. I have read many others have had the same problem.
I called Logitech customer service. (I could not find a toll-free number so it was on my dime) The man I spoke with was nice, but the first solution he had for me was for me to send my keyboard to logitech first and then they would send me a replacement one in 4 to 8 weeks. I told him that was unacceptabble as I dont have another keayboard to useuntill the replacement one arrived. He then told me if I have my proof of purchase(I got it here on amazon so I could print one) I could fax it in to logitech and they would send me a replacement one in 4 to 8 weeks.
It took some time to set it up.......2007-12-06
It was love in first sight. I give it a perfect score by the appeal and feel of the keyboard and mouse. However, it took me some time to set the keyboard and mouse up. I didn't use the software that came out of the box, instead I downloaded the latest software from the Logitech website. At first the bluetooth receiver only picked up the keyboard and the mediapad and had a hard time finding the mouse. Finally, about an hour or so, the receiver picked up the mouse and everything worked perfectly. There was no delay and cons like how the others reviewed it. However, the next day I downloaded the updated software and had to do the entire process again. This time I had a harder time because the receiver couldn't find all three hardwares! It took me about a day to figure out what was the problem. The problem was the hub. All you have to do is turn off the hub with the software Logitech gives you and the receiver will find all three hardware instantly . After 2 days of hard work, I can say that I am happy with my purchase. So the hard part is just setting it up. As for some of the bad reviews on this product, it's just the problem of setting it up.
Excelente Teclado para PC o Laptop.......2007-11-22
El teclado es bastante delgado, lo puedes acompañar con la extension del teclado numerico, tecnologia Bluetooth. El raton es laser (no tiene luz visible) lo cual hace q la pila sea duradera, ademas el raton trae una base para cargarlo.
Excellent Mouse.......2007-11-07
I have literally used this mouse every day for work and play for about two years since it first came out. I have barely used the keyboard it sits in storage so i wont comment on that.
Bluetooth: I havent had any problems with the bluetooth on the mouse. I dont use the provided USB BT becuase it just connects straight to my laptop's internal bluetooth and unlike other bluetooth mice this doesnt lag much when it comes back from power saving mode its available very quickly.
Construction: Extremely durable. I have thrown, dropped, kicked, scuffed and abused this mouse for a long time and it still works perfectly and is in good condition. I have had to replace the plastic slide pads undernearth a few times now because ive had it for so long.
Software: I dont use the provided logitech software at all, its only useful for the extra mouse button configuration but the mouse runs fine without it.
Battery: The strong internal battery combined with their power saving system is absolutely awesome. Mine usually lasts about a week of solid use before i have to recharge it. And the battery indicator on top of the mouse is relaiable and linear. By that i mean it wont say its full then half an hour later die. Most of the time you still have half a dozen hours of use left when its on its lowest indicator level. Takes a couple hours to fully charge.
Accuracy: The tracking is precise you can definately use this mouse for fast paced gaming or design applications. I havent had any tracking or accuracy issues.
Feel: I have your average large male sized hands and I find it very comforatble and it has a good weight to it. It has sufficient ergonomics to 'rest' comfortably but enough grippy pieces to allow for detailed movement.
Pros: Strong/Sturdy, Confortable, Reliable, Accurate, Great Battery, Quick Recharge, Great Bluetooth
Cons: Expensive.
very pleased .......2007-10-24
I was kind of nervous after reading some mixed reviews about this keyboard but it has worked flawlessly for me so far and this is on a 5 year old compaq laptop with XP. the battery life on the mouse and keyboard seem good (coming from a college student who is either at the computer doing homework, at the computer sitting online, even if for most of the day the mouse hasn't died on me yet. the range is great. and i just plugged everything in once i got it and it worked just fine. the main reason i bought this was because of the media pad/number pad i got sick of trying to work in excel with the single row of numbers on my laptops keyboard. the media pad was kind of awkward at first not being attached to the keyboard but i have frown to like it. not too mention the keyboard and mouse look pretty cool too. I would definitely recommend this keyboard. and being the poor college student i am i just bought it refurbished for about half the price of a new one and it looks new and works like new.

Customer Reviews:
backlight on led display.......2007-11-05
The led display is useless without a backlight. I need to know when caps lock is on or off at a glance. How to I find the backlight switch? Thanks, please send an email if you know the answer - customer service did not reply to my question (at Logitech). Thanks C.
Wireless feature only works very short range and causes the keyboard lag.......2007-05-09
Well, this is the first time in many Amazon purchases that I've had to write a negative review. I'm also surprised I'm writing about a Logitech product - I've always been happy with them, including my last wireless USB laser mouse (which I plan on keeping now!)
The keyboard lag and mouse lag are noticeable and I think the key may be in how close you are to the receiver. I was unable to get the unit to work at all over 8 feet away (distance from my big screen to the couch). I have to sit on the floor with the receiver pulled as far out of my entertainment center as it can go, so overall distance is now
<5 feet and it seems to work most of the time. The closer the better.
So if you are using this for getting rid of clutter on your computer desk its probably OK, but for my desired setup it isn't very convenient.
great.......2007-03-26
When Im rec this item and took it put of the box. I was happy with the looks of it. Then when I hooked it up to my comp I was surprised it was to use. Thanks to the software that came with it.
Good range and batteries life.......2007-03-14
It has been working without a hitch. The Function Lock is On by default. Bravo. I haven't tried the software yet. The batteries have been working for more than two months. Well, I admit that I use the computer for about three ours a day and don't play much games. The mouse response is good (at 5 meters).

Great ideas, poor functionality........2007-03-28
I bought this because of the remote control. The small size of the keyboard is great and the mouse is a nice small size for my small hands. Lots of features .... but they all stopped working after a couple of days. I tried everything including uninstalling the driver and re-installing, but the remote and all of the soft-keys will only work for a couple of days at a time. I have to reset them constantly. Too bad. It would've been great if it worked.
If you look on the Logitech website, you'll see that they don't sell it anymore. Too many bugs, I think. Hopefully they will work out the bugs and re-release it or something like it. Pretty please?
High convenience at a low cost.......2006-12-29
First off, the remote alone is worth 5 stars. I have all of the (7 programmable I believe) buttons customized to exactly what I need. When I hit "Media" on the remote, my "Movies" folder pops up and I can scroll with the remote and open, close, and minimize/maximize any movie in the folder, much less pause, fast-forward...etc. Sometimes when Windows XP crashes, I have to use this button to reset Window's Explorer.
Secondly, I actually bought this set because of the sole reason of the "Shuffle" button on the right-hand side of the keyboard. I just press the programmable "Music" button located at the top right-hand side of the keyboard, press play with the button below it, then hit Shuffle! It's very easy and adds to my laziness. Good.
Battery life is wonderful and the set is extremely good for switching between your monitor and a TV. It makes watching movies on your computer (or whatever screen) very easy. I actually ditched the mouse because I like my IntelliMouse better (or maybe my hand just got used to the shape). I used to hook my computer up to my TV to play PC games with the wireless keyboard/mouse and I never had any issue with lag or connectivity. Highly recommended product-I will buy more from Logitech in the future.
logitech products.......2006-11-03
THIS KEYBOARD, MOUSE AND REMOTE CONTROL ARE FIRST CLASS AS ARE ALL LOGITECH PRODUCTS OF WHICH I HAVE QUITE A FEW! HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND THE PRICE WITH REBATE WAS GREAT.
A neat accessory.......2006-11-02
Very easy to set up. Downside is that lots of special keyboard features don't work in my XP environment or seem to affect other functions. I'm not posting details on what these are because I've given up trying to fix this.
Very quick!.......2006-09-14
I'm very happy with the compact nature of the keyboard and remote, and the mouse is incredibly fast and responsive. I highly recommend it!

Customer Reviews:
The best mouse I ever owned.......2006-11-16
Works great on all types of surfaces and mousepads.
The only drawback is that is quickly eats up batteries. NIMH rechargable batteries seem to work the best.
Amazing mouse that never quits.......2006-09-04
I bought this mouse used about 5 years ago for 10 dollars (it was the cheapest optical mouse I could find). Judging by its price, I didn't expect it to work for long. Today it works like it did when it was bought, perfectly without any jumps, even though the reciever is many feet away and seperated by several inches of wood.
The batteries for this mouse do occasionally need replacing, approximately every month, so what I suggest is having 4 rechargable AA batteries, and have 2 be charging and 2 in the mouse, then when the mouse dies (unfortunately there is no warning, one second you're using it the next it's dead), just swap the pairs. It'll save you money.
The mouse is fairly ergonomic; my hand wraps around it in a natural way, and I can use it for hours at a time without any consequences.
Anyway, enough about the reliability, let's talk about the mouse itself. This Logitech is one of the smaller, ligher mouses I've encountered. This makes reasonably sensitive, even though mouses today have upwards of twice its DPI. The fact that it is so light and sensitive makes it a great gaming mouse; I can move it across both of my monitors in one stroke. It glides easily over pretty much any surface, but use a mousepad, one, because its "feet" can get clogged, and two, because it has trouble with most non-flat surfaces.
In terms of functionality, it's pretty much your no-frills basic mouse. It does have a scroll wheel (which is definitely very useful), and the two standard buttons, but don't expect anything else.
How Did I live Without This???.......2005-10-20
My office space is small in my home, and my corded mouse was getting hung up in my printer, which was not fun. This mouse is the best!! It doesn't get hung up, and you don't have to clean the lint out of it. The betteries seem to last a while too.
Logitech Cordless Mouse.......2005-09-14
This is the second Logitech mouse I've tried. The first was an optical but not cordless. Both quit working after a year of use. Though I liked the way both performed while they were still usable, I have been disappointed twice by Logitech and will not buy that brand again. I have a Kensington mouse that has been working for 5 years and Microsoft opticals that go on and on. Sorry I haven't had the luck the other reviewers have had.
It Is Pretty Good.......2005-08-16
Works perfectly, but it doesn't have an On/Off button which means the battery is always draining even when the computer is down, or you are not using it.
Amazon.com Product Description
Because there is no cord to get in the way, Logitech's Cordless Wheel Mouse provides more desktop flexibility. It uses digital radio technology and works even while pointing away from your computer. Cluttered desks won't interfere with its operability because it works anywhere within a 6-foot range of the receiver. The receiver is compact and easy to install. The cordless Wheel Mouse is designed to fit comfortably in either right or left hands.

A wireless wonder.......2001-06-26
I have to admit I was a little wary of getting a cordless mouse. I had heard from colleages and friends alike that the battery life on these things was horrendous, and that the reception wasn't all the great either. Of course little did I know they were referring to the older models, rather than the less expensive and more reliable versions around today. Of these newer models, the Logitech Cordless Wheel Mouse has got to be one of the best I've seen. The battery life is great, and the reception is spectacular. I've used my mouse from across the room on several occasions, although the practicality of that was up for debate since I couldn't see what I was clicking. But hey, I did it because I could, not because I should. Even beyond the technical aspects of the mouse, its high marks continue on to the design, fitting very comfortably in either hand. While the mouse isn't as small as other mice, its by no means large. One last thing that makes this mouse particularly sweet, is that it only takes two AAA batteries, which are included.
I'm in loooooooove! Finally, a mouse I adore.......2001-02-15
Did you ever consider how IMPORTANT the mouse is? This is the interface to your computer. Along with the keyboard, this is how you access your information. How good your mouse is will determine the comfort level of using your computer.
I noticed I was getting wrist pain from excessive mouse use. I switched to the cordless Logitech mouse and I never EVER want to use another kind of mouse. I tried the optical mouse (tracks on any surface) but the cordless mouse was far, far better. One reason is that the lack of the "tail" on the mouse means you have complete freedom of movement along the mouse pad. You never hold your wrist at a strange or strained angle to accommodate the cord getting stuck or pulling on the mouse. For gaming (we like Age of Kings) it really does the job. Agile, fast and snappy.
I added a very good ergonomic gel mouse pad and I noticed a huge difference in my comfort using the computer. I recommend adding an ergonomic mouse pad for anyone who uses their computer a lot.
The only downside to the cordless mouse is that you do need to keep a supply of AAA batteries in your desk for when they run out. Or your mouse will be dead in the water, so to speak. This is a small price to pay for cordless ease.
Another potential downside for you is if you have large hands. I have average sized hands and this mouse is just right. But I know someone with extra large hands and he finds this mouse a bit small. So if you find you get hand cramps because you have very big hands and most computer mice are too small, this one may not be the one for you.
My Cordless Pal.......2000-11-28
I am a grandmother and I ABSOLUTELY love this cordless mouse. During playing a card game online I can put the mouse on my knee and play away. It tells you when the battery is low. I have replaced them twice in a year and the last time was just a couple weeks ago. I wish we had these at work because of their movability and comfort. Everyone should have one.
Great buy, great item.......2000-08-19
I got this mouse as a present a little while ago, and I am totally impressed. Having a mouse cord is just in the way at this point. I have a Logitech cordless keyboard as well, and together they really work well. I can sit over across the room (my computer is hooked through my TV sometimes) and surf, play games, etc. from anywhere in the room. I have a Microsoft cordless mouse at work, and it works great too, but the Logitech mouse has a longer life, and is better ergonomically. It is a little small, but that's actually ok, since it's no smaller than a usual mouse. I'm not sure how well it works with another brand of cordless keyboard, but I would think that it should be fine. A good buy, for sure!
Product Description
Logitech?s most state-of-the-art pointing device, the cable-free Cordless Wheel Mouse works from up to six feet away. While other cordless devices are rendered inoperable by cluttered desks, this mouse uses radio technology so you can freely operate the scroll wheel or customizable buttons despite obstacles.
Customer Reviews:
Ergonomic and smooth.......2002-05-16
Besides the "cool" factor, I'm very glad I've invested in this mouse because it feels so natural in my hand. And now that I don't have to fuss with a cord, I've eliminated the problem of my mouse creeping to the back of my desk and getting stuck when the cord gets under my keyboard.
The feel is very smooth, and not at all jerky. note: I'm not a gamer so I can't really comment on its responsiveness but as an avid general computer user, I can highly recommend it.
