Good product at great price.......2008-01-01
Works great out of the box.
I bought this for my daughter who will be attending a high school art school in the fall. Installed easily out of the box. Its not a Waacom pad but I wasn't looking to spend $300 yet. It works well with Photoshop CS3 and also Manga Studio.
Shipping was quick and item was delivers as described.
Daddy's girl is happy; So I am happy.
Didn't work, No support.......2007-12-31
I purchased this tablet a few days ago, and it is already on its way back to Amazon if that tells you anything. I was not able to get either of my systems to recognize this tablet. None of the websites listed in the documentation exist according to DNS, so I was not able to contact them for assistance. The documentation is written in broken english that is difficult at best to read and was not helpful resolving my problem.
I'm going to give the wacom BambooBamboo (Small) Pen Tablet with Pen Only a try and see if it works better. I guess if it works at all, that will be better.
great for student.......2007-12-29
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She is very artistic and uses the graffiti application on Facebook - which is what got her started in this format. This product is very easy to use - she had it up and running in minutes and has done some amazing drawings. I would recommend this for first-time users of a graphic tablet. We are very pleased.
Outstanding.......2007-12-27
I placed the order on Friday before xmas. Did free shipping and i got it 3 days later. Great delivery time frame. Now for the product. Well worth the price. Great for beginners and very simple to use. Takes alittle time getting use to from using the mouse then the pen, but you will not be disappointed. GET IT !!!!!!
Excellently BRILLIANT!.......2007-12-27
Awesome product for a great price! Well worth your money! I just got mine for Christmas, and I absolutely love it!
This is my first Tablet. It was soo easy to set up! All I did was plug in the USB and bodda-bang! My computer installed the driver, and I could use it! I use it on the free downloadable program Gimp, and it hasn't given me any trouble at all.
There are no issues whatsoever in using this tablet with Wondows Vista.
I love this Tablet!

Small footprint, excellent value for light/intermediate use.......2007-12-28
At a price of only $29.99, I wasn't expecting too much, but this unit has delivered all that I expected - a functional wireless keyboard and mouse, working well right out of the box. I chose this unit because of (a) price, and (b) its small keyboard footprint. I wasn't seeking additional programmable buttons (though it has some), nor was I concerned with 800dpi pixel precision mouse performance, because it's not used for any work that detailed (like photo editing). We also didn't care if the mouse was "non-ergonomic", in fact, we prefer the 'older' style small mouse as opposed to the larger curved ergonomic style. Given these expectations, the EX110 does the trick for us. All buyers should consider listing what's important to them, in priority order, and let that be a guide for product selection. Many of us are so easily attracted and influenced by features and functions that we'll never use or use only infrequently.
Production quality appears sufficient for our light use, perhaps an hour each day; for a heavy user, I might be concerned about long term reliability of pounding the keys thousands of times, but that is simply an opinion and projection, and is not based on experience. I don't have enough time with the unit yet to experience the battery life (two AA in the mouse, two AAA in the keyboard). The system worked well right out of the box, and my wife, the primary user, is very pleased with it. The receiver sits under the desk totally out of view around 15 inches away from the mouse, with the thick desktop in between, with perfect performance. I didn't even have to install the Logitech drivers for my WinXP OS. My only product design complaint - the keyboard tilt legs (underside, in the rear, that lift the backside of the keyboard) are somewhat low, are not adjustable as on the more expensive units, and do not tilt the keyboard enough for her liking; this might be an individual preference.
Great product with good price at Amazon.......2007-12-28
First of all, you really can't beat the price here with its great quality. Two years ago I purchased one set of this model and recently I purchased another three sets to replace all my computers' keyboards and mouses. Unlike the other more expensive models which are bulky, the EX110 keyboard doesn't occupy lot of space on the desktop.
The keyboard uses two AAA batteries and the mouse uses 2 AA batteries. The battery drain is considerably low and I use rechargeable NiMH batteries that last for a long time. I like the speedy buttons on the keyboard to control the sound volume and mute, plus a quick button to open up the calculator. This unit comes with both PS2 connector and USB connector. You can use its PS2 connector if you don't want to waste your limited USB ports. For the new Dell Vostro Desktop model that comes without PS2 port, you can just plug this unit's USB connector to one of your USB port and it works for both keyboard and mouse. With fresh batteries, the unit can operate six feet away from the reciver. Of course, make sure that you don't lay your cordless phone, cell phone or wireless network antenna around the receiver and you will do fine.
I am very please with this product. The fact that this model has been on the market for more than two years without being retired from the manufacture, it speaks its great value for itself. Best of all, you can plug the USB connector into your computer and it works without the need to install any driver. Unless you want to try out additional software provided on the CD by Logitech, you can just toss the CD into your desk drawer.
Not responsive enough........2007-12-23
On some games, the mouse doesn't seem responsive enough to play the game. It seems to delay to long (PBA bowling for instanace). The key board is good, but it doesn't work my yahoo jukebox in next track etc, unless I have the jukebox maximized. My older logitech cordless works everything great. I wouldn't recomend this keyboard and mouse. I like my other one so much better.
Excellent Keyboard Value and Function.......2007-12-22
This keyboard combo actually works better than most other wireless keyboard/mouse combos I have tried at any price. At the low price I paid, an amazing value. Highly recommended.
another reliable product from logitech.......2007-12-11
This is a great item from Logitech. It was easy to set up and has given me no trouble so far.

Customer Reviews:
Excelente producto. Mcbo, Venezuela.......2007-12-30
Este mouse es excelente para juegos se puede calibrar para un mejor balance del jugador con respecto a la maquina, el material es de excelente calidad y lo mejor de todo no hay que cambiar baterias!!
Good choice for gaming.......2007-12-23
This is a very nice and well built mouse. As soon as you use it, you can tell that it's very well made. The new surface used on this model is very nice, non slip and does not attract fingerprints, unlike the earlier 6 button version of the G5
The option of changing the weight of the mouse seems gimmicky at first, but as soon as you start to experiment with the weights, you'll see that it's actually quite usefull.
The mouse tracks very well and the on-the-fly DPI changing works flawlessly. Also it glides very nicely which is even more emphasized when using a good mouse pad.
The reason I gave this mouse 4 instead of 5 stars is simply that the shape of the mouse will not suite every gamer. It is an awesome device for anyone using a palm or finger grip on their mouse, but someone (like me) that prefers the claw grip, mainly used in FPS games will find it a bit uncomfortable. You can get used to it though.
Also, the scroll wheel is a bit annoying. It would be better if it was a little wider and didn't have this utterly useless side scrolling function, which makes it a bit awkward to depress it.
All in all this is a great gaming mouse that is worth the money it costs. Every angle of it screams quality.
Just try and take it for a "test drive" before you buy it so you can make sure it's comfortable to you.
Feel-good mouse.......2007-12-18
I haven't yet investigated all the customizable features of this mouse but it does what I bought it for (work tasks, not gaming). It's very comfortable and the click wheel works very well. One nice touch is that you can press the click wheel on its sides to scroll left and right within applications and websites. I hadn't expected the USB cable to be quite as long as it is. I keep it bundled in the middle so it doesn't flop all over my desk.
Another Excellent Logitech Product.......2007-12-17
An excellent product, what you would expect for the price. If mouse speed and control are valuable attributes to you, buy this product. Has a very nice rubbery grip and responsive buttons.
Dry-grip texture is like sandpaper. Blech!.......2007-12-13
If, like me, you are sensitive to textures, find this one on display at a store and give it a try before you buy it. I find the Dry-Grip surface on the sides of the mouse to be excruciating to touch. It's the tactile equivalent of fingernails on a blackboard for me. It's a shame, because otherwise I'm pretty sure this would be the perfect mouse for me.

Customer Reviews:
decent.......2007-12-29
i got this to replace my V200...and the only reason i needed to replace that one is because the reciever is in room 211 at the days in off exit 394 on 40 west in TN...haha...either way...i dont like the 220 quite as much because they made it a good bit smaller and i have a pretty big hand... on the other hand...it is very comfortable to hold and the feature i love the most is that instead of the reciever clicking or snapping into place for travel...it actually slides into the bottom of the mouse so that it wont just come off from something brushing against it in your bag...overall i say a great mouse
Simple, reliable, easy.......2007-12-29
Very simple to set up and use. Decent battery life... I use rechargable Ever Ready batteries... changing them about monthly. Reliable and durable, it takes a beating in my back-pack and takes an occasional tumble off the work surface. This one's a keeper.
Mouse.......2007-12-18
This is a great product. I gave this as a gift to someone who struggles with using their mouse on their laptop computer. They loved it! Thanks, Kathy
V220 Cordless Mouse.......2007-12-12
Without a doubt, this is the best mouse around for any laptop, but particularly for the Macs. Plug it in, load the LCC, turn it on and the mouse is ready to go. Battery life seems great too, compared to most other wireless mice I've used. The V220 is smaller than the others too, but it has all the features of its big brothers and sisters! The preferences in the LCC allows you to set the mouse up to your particular specs...almost unlimited!! This thing is so good, I bought another for my PMac G-5!! Strongy recommend this to anyone!!!
Easy to use / smooth.......2007-11-22
I bought this so my daughter would be able to play games easier on her own than using the touch pad, and she is handling it nicely (she's 2 and a half), and I like it myself! Easy to use, glides along nicely.

Logitech Cordless Desktop.......2007-12-29
I Love this Keyboard and Mouse - the keyboard is 100 times better than the one that came with my computer and the mouse is much smaller and lighter than the wireless Microsoft mouse I had before.
If you are looking for a wireless desktop I would highly recommend Logitech.
Amazing value.......2007-12-10
For $49.99 (after $10 rebate) at Amazon, this combination wireless keyboard-mouse is a gem! I have been using it for a few days now, and love it.
First, installation on my Vista machine was a breeze. So much so that I initially did not believe the instructions: insert batteries (provided by the way), plug the receiver, that's it? Well, that is it! I guess the drivers are already in Vista.
Interestingly enough, I never had to use the 'connect' buttons under the keyboard and mouse, I don't know what they're for. For me, it's just plug-and-play. No delay whatsoever.
Coverage is very good, over a large room (at least 15 feet) in plain line of sight of the receiver. It's very conceivable to use the set in a conference room or training room environment for presentations.
The keyboard is nice and compact, mostly due to the rearrangement of the 'middle keys' (Delete, Home, End, Page up, down). Insert was moved to the top function row. No big deal.
It's lacking LED's (Caps, Num, Scroll locks), probably to save space, battery life and cost. That's not an issue with me, I never looked at these LED's anyway. When you press any of the 'lock' keys, a message will display on the screen, useful for touch-typists who never look at the keyboard.
They key feel is excellent, soft, I never missed a key for not pushing the keycap down enough.
I noticed the key lettering was on the small size. It's a nice font, but for people who are not touch typists and a bit eye-blind, reading the letters might be a bit difficult. Contrast is excellent though.
Many functions keys are programmable using the software provided (installing the software is optional).
The mouse is nice and relatively small. I see these huge mice in the store aisles and always wonder who buys them! It fits my hand perfectly. It has very smooth tracking and "sticks nicely to the road" thanks to its weight (batteries!). The additional buttons (back, forward and scroll left, scroll right) are very useful when using a Web browser.
The power on/off button under the mouse is a nice addition, I wish the keyboard had one too. But maybe the keyboard does not draw much power anyway.
Considering how much you'd normally pay for a half-decent keyboard and mouse, this wireless combo by Logitech is a steal. Go for it!
Easy & Fun to Use Cordless Desktop.......2007-12-07
I'm totally happy with this keyboard and mouse. Both are comfortable to use and have a nice rubber-like surface that feels good against your skin. The keyboard is very quiet compared to my old standard keyboard: no more peck-peck-peck sound when typing! I really like the media buttons on the sides of the keyboard, they're handy when I'm listening to music on my computer. The mouse is very accurate and easy to control, and the extra buttons on top are useful when navigating the web. I think this set is a great value for the money.
looked nice didn't work.......2007-12-03
After doing a lot of research on a wireless keyboard and mouse I ordered this one. It arrived and never worked.
LogitechCordless Desktop LX 710 laser.......2007-11-21
11/21/07
I like the keyboard and mouse. I'm used to seeing the "Cap" light on in the corner on the keyboard. It's not there.........when you hit the "Cap Lock" it comes up on the monitor......but if I'm in a hurry, I tend to forget that the "Caps" are still on. I'll adjust eventually. I haven't had time to figure out all of the other functions on the keyboard yet, but I will.
It's a soft and easy keyboard with no reflective qualities and the mouse is great!

This Mouse is Sweet!.......2007-12-18
just got to try this mouse out and its... sweet... thing glides like its on a well oiled machine... the weights handle nice... plus the scroller makes photoshop seem likes its on turbo... especially when you zoom... (alt + scroll)
plus the best part... Amazon Rules!... the first mouse i got was defected(stuff happens)... so i was like dammm... contacted Amazon(email) 3 clicks later and two days later a brand spanking new mouse... hassle free....
Killer mouse.......2007-12-17
This mouse has everything. I especially like the tilt wheel that can be programmed. Its very comfortable & responsive. Logitech always puts forth a great product.
Sick!.......2007-12-13
This mouse is great, i Love it...Looks Sick with my saitek red Keyboard! Very Very Very Responsive...BEst for gaming!
Ugly, but amazing.......2007-12-08
This is probly the uglest mouse I have ever owned... having said that I have nothing else bad to say about this mouse.
The speed changing is nice on the fly
The weights are amazing
Both grips are perfect for me (I wear Medium to Large work gloves)
The glide is just perfect on the mouse.
I suppose I would like to see a grip that moves the thumb buttons back about 1/4" but when fingertipping it's not an issue (and that's how I play FPSs any way). When playing RTSs I don't use the thumb buttons so I'm not sure it's even an issue.
Overall a very solid mouse whether for games or artists or even just a normal user.

Mouse !.......2007-12-26
Bought this mouse a couple of days ago.
Well sensetivity is pretty poor, not realy a gaming mouse.
If ur playing games in which you need precise chrosair, like Counter-Strinke, TF2 etc..u should get something else.
Guality of the mouse is good, its shiny and all that.
My rating would be something like 1.5-3
Simple Design, but great overall feel.......2007-12-23
It's a pretty basic mouse, but it's one of the best I've used. The bluetooth works well and had no issues connecting with my computer. It's well designed and ergonomically comfortable despite seeming a bit small, and I have large hands. Comes with a travel bag that is, again rather basic, but very practical. I usually find laser mice to be oversensitive, but this mouse is well balanced in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. No unique features here, but if you looking for a basic, good quality, stylish, bluetooth mouse for your laptop, or even a desktop, this is it.
Great Mouse!.......2007-12-21
I am using the Logitech V470 with a MacBook Pro and it's awesome. It works really well, and feels solid. The software doesn't take over the machine like some other companies Intellimouse ;) software. I have large hands, but this mouse fits great and is very comfortable. I also run Windows in Parallels and its great on that side of the world.
Awesome mouse!
It works.......2007-12-13
Purchased for iMac as a replacement for the bluetooth Mighty Mouse, since the MM scroll button stops working after a while, and I have to pry it apart to clean it. This is a more than adequate substitution, the wheel tilts to the right or left, allowing horizontal scrolling in Photoshop, etc. This might be hard on larger hands, as it's a small mouse, only 4 inches (10 cm) long and 2.35 inches (5 cm) wide. It is symmetrical, will work easily with either hand. I notice that as it wakes or sleeps, it interrupts the sleep cycle of my computer, something that I wouldn't notice if I chose a later time to sleep my computer. Sleep is not user settable with the software that comes with it. Wakes from reserve quickly. Crisp action.
Great mouse.......2007-12-12
I was a little hesitant about this mouse after reading that it is on the same frequency as my wireless home network, but am glad I decided to try it. I am happy to report after using it for a few weeks now that I have had no noticeable problems using this either at home or at school where there is a wireless network as well. The setup was easy, the mouse works as advertised, and because it is bluetooth I don't need to have a key sticking out of my laptop to use it. I recommend getting yourself 4 rechargeable AA's, one set to use and one to use while charging, so you don't have to keep buying batteries.

The best keyboard and mouse available for Macs.......2007-12-29
This keyboard is incredible! It's Very sleek, and stylish, and my wife loves it for our new Mac Mini! Wireless and with more functions and options than even Apple's own new aluminum keyboards and Mighty Mouse, this will impress friends and family much more than what Apple offers currently. The ONLY reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because at the time of writing, the packaged software that allows for function customization and such gives an error message that the customization program won't work on an Intel based Mac.
Update! Downloading patch from Logitech fixes the Intel problem! Perfect Five Stars!!
Great Keyboard... for the price........2007-12-27
The keyboard is what you would expect for it's price as a duo; cheap-feeling plastic keys and too many hot-keys for applications like iPhoto, Safari, and iTunes that you probably will never use. The mouse on the other hand, feels great and is very accurate.
While the keys feel a bit light and cheap (kind of like laptop keys), the construction of the keyboard is very well done and can take a bit of pressure if you apply it.
I've had problems with the setup randomly unpairing with the USB dongle and I don't know if that's a problem or if it's due to me not having the software installed. Yes, things work fine without the Logitech software installed and I recommend not installing it because it can cause problems with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Not having the software installed renders the application buttons useless. If they mean a lot to you but don't want to deal the the buggy LCC, you can use a third-party software solution like USBOverdrive.
If you need a cheap replacement, you could save even more money by getting a standard wireless keyboard and mouse set (yeah, I know, it would have the Windows logo on it). They work well and can be as functional as this set. If you want a solid keyboard and mouse set that is just for your mac, I think Apple is, so far, the best offering even though the keyboard alone is more.
LogiTech Cordless Desktop Set.......2007-12-21
Product was received promptly and in mint condition.
I especially love the keyboard shortcut feature of just pressing
a button to launch Mail or Browser. Volume control button is also
a favorite. I'm still exploring other features.
Everything I was hoping for............2007-11-26
This is an excellent product. It was very easy to "install" - really nothing more complicated than inserting batteries (included) and pressing a connect button on the mouse and keyboard. They are both very comfortable and intuitive. I had been using Mac's cordless keyboard and mouse but find that these are much nicer - especially since I use a PC at work and it makes transitioning at home to my Mac feel more seemless.
excellent product.......2007-11-24
The keyboard and mouse are great. It is very important to download the latest software from Logitech. That's why I can give 5 stars. With the old software you couldn't plug and unplug and have the keyboard or mouse work correctly. That all appears fixed now.
I have always loved Logitech mice so when I got my first Mac it was great to see I didn't have to get the Apple branded mouse and keyboard (one mouse button!?).
The keyboard is very flat and has a nice wrist rest while not taking up too much room like some of the newer keyboards. There are a bunch of nice programmable buttons I use occasionally.
The mouse is very nice. It's pretty comfortable and I think it would be good for many different hand sizes. The additional buttons get a lot of use.
The wireless connection works pretty well and the range is as great as I'd ever need.
Lastly, both items look pretty slick. I only wish they came in black because I have a black macbook but I've gotten used to the white and silver.

Great Bluetooth Mouse.......2007-12-30
I bought this mouse about a month ago for my new laptop. It was very easy to setup and start using. I love the Bluetooth feature since I don't have any receivers protruding from my laptop. Overall, this is a great mouse.
Perfect for my notebook.......2007-12-29
This mouse replaces the corded one that came with my ASUS laptop. The new mouse fits the hand well and is lighter than I thought since it has two AA batteries. There is no lag when moving from a stationary position. It is very sensitive and I use it on my leg or chest with no problem. Well worth the price. I never turn it off and the batteries have not been replaced yet.
Wonderful little mouse.......2007-12-29
This will be short and sweet. This mouse is fantastic. The build quality is top notch, with the materials being smooth and sturdy. The scroll wheel is smooth, but not loose, and the top shell is perfect. It also is light and small, but isn't too small for big hands like some notebook mice, and has a solid weight to it, while still being light.
The Bluetooth works seamlessly with my MacBook Pro, running Leopard, and the battery life is good. The Laser tracking is spot on, with no jumping around. The best part is that there is no little dongle that takes up a USB port.
If you want a good wireless mouse, stop looking and buy this one. I guess the best thing I can say about it is that it makes me want to use my mouse more and more.
Very Good Product.......2007-12-22
Worked perfectly with my Vista laptop. I don't notice any lag at all when using the mouse, and works on every surface I've tried so far. It's a laptop mouse, not full-size, so it takes a little getting used to if you are coming from a desktop mouse.
great feel, great look, awesome mouse.......2007-12-22
Awesome mouse that fits right in your hand. The material feels solid and not "sticky" or "plasticky" Since its got the bluetooth, the main reason I bought it, one doesn't have to mess around with the usb plug-in reciever. Great response time. All-around solid mouse.
