The mouse acts like there's velcro on its bottom. This mouse is sluggish. I bought this item because of the price, and I needed a better mouse. I tried to tweak the software, but no dice.Maybe there's a time delay between the keyboard and the mouse, but I can't play some of my computer games -- especially Luxor2. It's OK for simple tasks, but terrible for response time.
Also the tabs on the back of the keyboard are not the sturdiest as mine have already snapped right off and are broken to the point they won't go back on. The keyboard is very nice in the aspect that it has a multi media control buttons it has 4 programmable keys you can program to do just about anything even open programs for you it also seems to have a good distance you can take it away from the computer and still works. I bought this combo as I thought it was a deal getting a keyboard and a mouse together for one low price and decided to get this one as I have had good experience in the past with Logitech brand. The downfall for it is sometimes it is difficult to get the mouse to sync with the dock and I have to shut the computer down to get it to sync again. If you though want a keyboard and mouse for a good price this is a good one to get.
Now I will start to teach my homeschooled son typing using an online typing lesson (the BBC one for kids is great). I wanted a wireless keyboard to use with our Wii but didn't want to pay $50 for the one made specifically for the Wii. and he is also using the Wii messaging setup to send emails to family and friends with this keyboard. I just plugged the receiver into the back of the Wii, put the batteries in the keyboard, and it worked. I got this one on sale for $29.99 and while I haven't tried out the mouse on the Wii (not sure if it works or not) the keyboard worked without any issues at all. Nice to have something work without any headache once in a while. It's so much easier than typing on the screen with the Wiimote.
This was a Christmas gift which was not opened until yesterday. Now I'm not even sure it is compatible with my iMac, so I can't really review it at this point.
I turned down the resolution on the mouse about 30 percent as it was more reactive than the older mouse that I was using (in XP control panel --> mouse --> pointer options --> select a pointer speed).If I had known how easy and inexpensive it is to get the wireless mouse and keyboard working, I would have done it a long time ago. I simply shut down my machine, removed the existing mouse and keyboard (old style dedicated connectors rather than USB) replaced them with the connectors on the end of the wireless receiver, restarted the machine, and became free for the first time of a wired keyboard and mouse.I did experience one minor issue - on this machine I have XP Pro installed on the primary IDE and Linux on the secondary - so when I want to switch from one to the other I go into the BIOS utility to select the boot drive - the first time that I tried doing this I was warned by the BIOS that I had no mouse or keyboard - however, on the second try it worked (booting into Linux) and it also worked on the third try (booting back into XP). I just received the EX110 and am using it now. The feel of the keyboard is normal to me, and the mouse has a more substantial feel to it compared to the one I was using previously. I am very pleased with the EX110.
