Rating: - The best combination
I have owned this keyboard and mouse combo for 3 weeks now and I have to admit that I'm not sure how I lived without it. OK... that might be a little bit over the top but it really is an excellent combination. I wish that I could bring it into the office and use it there also. The keyboard and mouse were simple to setup and the comfort level is incredible. I love how responsive the mouse is and the tactile feel of the keyboard is top notch. I've only been working with computers since 1983 but I really don't see why it took so long to create such a fine work of art and comfort.
Rating: - Needs a USB Extension Cable for Receiver
This Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro is a combination of a cordless version of the Logitech Wave Keyboard and a single (rechargeable) battery version of the Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse (910-000718). In general, I'd have given it a 4 star ranking except for one thing: I had to buy a Cables To Go - 19018 - 2M USB A/A Extension Cable to stop the mouse from lagging/stuttering (just plain stopping for several seconds at a time). The problem could be a combination of the thumb-drive sized receiver for the keyboard/mouse and my steel Antec LifeStyle Solo ATX Quiet ATX Mini-Tower Case (Piano Black). The receiver plugs directly into a USB port instead of sitting on the desk with a cable extending to the USB port. For a laptop (or maybe a non-steel case), this shouldn't be a problem (in fact, it would be very convenient). But, in my setup, I'd lose the mouse connection repeatedly. Just using a foot-long USB extension cable so the receiver rested on top of my computer case got rid of most of the lagging. With the two meter extension, I've got the receiver on top of my desk (like the receiver for my old Logitech 967692-0403 Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser (Black) and haven't had any problems at all.
Regarding the keyboard part of this package, it's pretty good. Compared to my old keyboard, I find it a bit cramped. But, I think this is a function of my being used to the more separated hands of the pure ergonomic design. The wave design is better than a regular, straight design. But, not as good a real split-hand ergonomic keyboard. My only other complaint about it is a minor one: the palm rest is non-detachable (it's a soft, padded rubber, though). I had a micro-bead palm rest that was great. But, with the non-detachable nature of this keyboard, it's no longer really workable. One other thing to be aware of is that the two AA batteries that come with the keyboard are non-rechargeable (unlike the mouse's).
For the mouse, I've already mentioned the stuttering problem and my solution. The only other problem I have with it is that the Back and Forward buttons are a bit small and awkwardly placed (again, this could just be because I'm used to a different mouse). On the positive side, the mouse feet are great. My old mouse didn't slide well at all. On the very same surface, this one glides smoothly and easily. So, the mouse feels good and moves well. The next biggest positive would probably be the standard rechargeable AA battery (instead of a proprietary version -- and note that there's only one battery instead of the two that come with the stand-alone mouse). The set comes with a charger for the mouse. But, I'll just be using my standard battery charger and batteries instead. I also like the little button below the scroll wheel which converts the scroll wheel from free-spinning to click-spinning.
So, if it weren't for the receiver interference problem (which could be specific to my steel case setup), I'd have been happy to rate this set at a Very Good 4 stars out of 5. But, because of it, I'm dropping my rating by one to a Good 3 stars out of 5.
Rating: - One Of the Best Combo Units
I am using the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro for couple of months now. It is simple one of the best I have used. I do lot of typing as part of my profession. I am really happy with its performance. I had a issue with the document flip/ Application switch button with my mouse. It was not working at all. I downloaded the driver software from the logitech site ( even though the version provided with the installation disk is same as the one in the website.) and reinstalled it. the button started working. But i have to Press it really hard, when compared to the other 9 buttons on which needs just a feather touch. The Keyboard is simple the best. The Key strokes are not silent, but they are really responsive and smooth. (Note: couple of my friends are having the same combo, they are complaining about strains due to prolong use of the keyboard.) It is working fine for me. Bluetooth is not available in this model.And easy access keys in keyboard is really useful. Overall it is a good combo set. May not be a must have Unit for computers, But sure a better combo.
Rating: - Probably best Wireless M/K combo
This thing is good. It's almost good enough to game with. the mouse has good features. I couldn't really see a wireless mouse and keyboard doing better than this anytime soon. All wireless equipment has some set backs, that being said...this is probably the best you can get. I've actually been able to get about 15-20 feet away with this thing and it still work. I use this keyboard and mouse when I'm on the couch browsing on my tv(I'm actually doing it right now while writing this review, distance 7-8").
