A Logitech fan for decades, the company in my opinion has build it's strong reputation by remaining in the computer peripheral market and introducing innovative and progressive technologies.
When it came to this model I had qualms about spending $150 for a keyboard and mouse. However after some thought and realizing both how much I have invested in my computers, why not give this a chance and see if the mouse and keyboard deliver on the promise and enhance the overall experience of working in front of my PC for hours at a clip.
Right of the bat I'll tell you this is by far the nicest keyboard I've ever had and I've been using computers since the world ran on DOS Based 286 Antiques!
Some nice touches regarding the keyboard are:
* Wonderfully comfortable keys the "Perfect Stroke" technology really does allow for whisper quiet typing, the perfect resistance and more accurate and fast typing.
* Great back lighting can be adjusted and senses your fingers immediately turning itself on and off after you're done typing.
* Ultra slim, sleek design
* Superb quality.
As for the mouse, I love it, it's larger than the other Logitech mice we have which are all wireless as well and work on their three years of battery life from two double A batteries, a great innovation that I wish had been incorporated into this mouse. However the comfort level is a ten and the mouse is incredibly responsive.
Some nice touches on the mouse include:
* Ultimate comfort
* extremely accurate performance and response times
* Great Scrolling
* Excellent variation of programmable buttons
I find the "Darkfield" laser technology to be a bit of a hype. So the mouse can work on glass, so what? All I can see this doing is scratching both your glass desk or table beneath the mouse and the underside of the mouse itself, not much of a selling feature.
Although I've read some complaints about Logitech service my experience has always been excellent. When I called to register my MX800 and get some support for a year old
MK700 keyboard I was offered a replacement right away at no cost.
What is more I like the Logitech unifying receiver, it's plug and play, can run multiple devices, takes up only one USB port and I find it more reliable than BlueTooth.
On the somewhat downside, other Logitech combos at half the price carry a 5 year warrantee on keyboard and mouse. You get three years on the MX800. In addition the battery life is estimated at 10 days (less if you keep the backlighting on high) so you're still dependant on cables to charge both the mouse and keyboard.
Less expensive models have as I mentioned earlier a 3 year run time without having to be charged. That technology should have been incorporated into the MX800 especially considering the price. However you can charge both via USB and still use both mouse and keyboard while you're charging up.
Despite the few drawbacks, if you're looking for a superb keyboard and mouse that offer both excellent comfort and accuracy the MX800 is certain to provide a better work flow and efficient experience.
Highly Recommended
