Ther Perfect Compliment to a Media Center Setup
Having a job again allowed me to get back into the computer world, and revamp my media center pc! Logitech has always been a company of choice for me. They have a solid past and what looks like a solid future.At first glance in the packaging the keyboard seemed smaller then I anticipated, but turned out to be the perfect size. Sitting atop my coffee table, it takes up a comfortable amount of space, with more then plenty of space to spare for the mouse as well as drinks or anything else your heart desires (My heart doesn't desire drinks around my keyboard).One thing you can't tell from the pictures on Amazon, or Logitech's site for that matter, is this nice clear plastic bezel that goes around the entirety of the keyboard. Many of you have tv's from Samsung or another company that have a similar feature around the edge of the tv. Along with the glossy black that surrounds the keys, it's incredibly appealing. Do note, glossy things look sleek, but are finger print magnets!!! :)Something keyboard enthusiasts look for is a certain click and feel with the keys. Right now it feels odd to me since I've been using a terrible keyboard and mouse for quite sometime. However, it will definitely grow on me. The sound from the keys is gentle and the keys don't drop hard at all. They have a soft click, but not too soft. The keys are also spaced perfectly.The media keys are fantastic and work great with XBMC, however, I wish there were more. It's got more then my last keyboard did though, which makes all the difference.The mouse that comes with the keyboard is a Logitech M310. This mouse blows my previous mouse away, which was a Logitech LX3 wired mouse. The mouse is shorter then my previous mouse, which I originally thought would feel weird in my hand. I was wrong. The mouse sits comfortably in my hand, and along with the rubberized grips, has a more then perfect feel.The only complaint I have about the keyboard is the build quality. The clear plastic bezel that goes around the edge of the keyboard feels shady in some spots and wiggles a bit in another spot. However, when taken into consideration, this does not affect the use or need of the keyboard at all and does not bother me.My final thoughts? This is an awesome keyboard/mouse combo that I would suggest to anyone. Take into consideration that when buying a new keyboard or mouse, it may feel different at first, but don't be afraid of different. It will grow on you, and for the better. This set is the nicest set i've had in a very long time. Logitech continues to remain a crucial part of my setup, and will for many years to come.

Yes! This thing!
Update: 2018 - Sometime around maybe March of this year, the mouse started fighting with me in earnest. I can still use the keyboard, but the mouse is completely unusable. I'll probably order this product or something very similar eventually, but I don't have a current need to. Overall feel like I got my money's worth out of it.Update: Six years later, I've completely worn off two letters, and partly worn off six others, but the keyboard still works, every key, and the mouse is still working. I have had a slight trouble with the mouse off and on where it'll double click when I click once, or click while I'm dragging. It's been off and on, and at one point, I got a new mouse, only for this one to start behaving again. That was almost six months ago, and the logitech mouse has been fine since. No other problems, and I'm still overall pretty happy with the purchase. I wouldn't go back to wired again if at all possible. It's just so much easier to clean, and the feel is right for me.This thing is perfect. A couple things:The keys feel fine. I am used to a laptop keyboard and wanted something with a mostly flat, slim profile. Reviews mentioning weird dimpled keys made me nervous-- for keyboard and piano, I'm really picky about what I want to be touching for hours. This thing, however, is perfect, comfortable, and non-distracting. The backspace key and all bottom-row keys, particularly the spacebar, are slightly out-jogged and convex-curved. It's subtle and cozy. Typing is a smooth and comfortable experience, and the little palm and wrist rest at the bottom is just enough for me.The wireless quality seems good. I wanted a wireless keyboard and mouse so that when I hook up my Casio piano keyboard to my computer via MIDI-to-USB, I can drag my typing keyboard over to my lap or wherever else without having to fiddle with wires. I have a -very- small, dense space. This was more than adequate. The receiver was plug-and-play, worked perfectly, and I was never left wondering how to configure anything about it. The set comes also with a wireless receiver extension cord. This is basically just a USB extension cord, so I use it for other devices. The mouse has a cute little hidey-spot for the receiver underneath, too.The battery life is more than fine. I keep forgetting to turn the keyboard and mouse off, but I've yet to replace batteries. I recommend getting Sanyo Enerloop batteries when you eventually have to replace the ones that come with the set. Since I always have them around, I'm not worried about battery annoyance or cost.What else? The packaging was great, and the products are attractive and easy to use. I haven't tried the custom-programmable function keys yet, but I'll update this review when I do.I have no complaints. I love this product.
