 Comfort and quality July 9, 2008
J. Lebile-Holo (Harrow, UK)
As an owner of many Logitech products, ranging from speakers to gamepads, the will to buy the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave for me was second nature.
First of all, the keyboard is unbelievably solid. It is also quite thin, despite the way it appears in many photos. The so-called 'Wave' is quite subtle, but compared to the Logitech Internet Navigator that I was using before it, it makes for a very satisfying typing session in front of your PC.
The package comes with the Wave keyboard, plus the Logitech LX8 cordless mouse. There is also a receiver (which acts as the receiver for both the mouse and the keyboard), plus a USB hub which sits on your desk for you to insert the receiver if you wish. I found it was not needed and placed the receiver directly behind the PC.
There are no gimmicks with this keyboard. You get a set of function keys across the top of the keyboard, which can be easily re-assigned with the SetPoint software. This includes a Media Center button, a PC button (which can turn your PC off - very useful), volume control, and more. It is also a perfect keyboard for a media center PC, with eject buttons, and more.
The Windows Flip button resides on the far left of the keyboard, and if you own Vista, it makes for a easier experience switching between programs. If you own Windows XP, the button takes over the usual "ALT-TAB" function.
With this keyboard, there is a clear emphasis on the quality and feel for the typing rather pace. However, the build and effort to make this keyboard work perfectly easily outweighs this issue.
The LX8 Cordless laser mouse that comes with the keyboard is a nimble device, which is frighteningly accurate, and does what you need to do with minimal fuss. There are two buttons, but that's it. I currently use the Logitech MX Revolution mouse, so I have no real need for this mouse, but it is more than adequate as a replacement.
The keyboard is perfectly organised and after a few uses, its 'wave' becomes second nature. The keys are very spongy upon touch, and makes no noise at all.
If you are looking for a keyboard that offers accuracy, comfort, and quality, then it is this one. The mouse however, should be regarded as bonus rather than something that enhances the experience using the combination.

10 months in there is no text at all on at least 8 of the keys with many others starting to fade. I was told that this was normal wear and tear and not covered by the warranty.

Only if a summers day is an AWESOME keyboard with an AWFUL AWFUL mouse. seriously, the mouse is horrendous. sometimes the buttons work, sometimes they dont. it has a habit of dragging hyperlinks around the page rather than clicking on them. Mines one more mishap off going in the goldfish tank. Love the keyboard though......buy the keyboard and get the mouse seperately.
 Easy to install but not ergonomic enough March 3, 2008

Both keyboard and mouse took absolutely no time at all to install and the whole process was very easy, even for a technospazz like myself. The mouse was a little too responsive to start with but that's adjustable, as are most of the features, buttons etc.
BUT the main reason I bought this keyboard is that I have RSI because I type a LOT! I did have a split keyboard but it's reached the end of its natural life. After reading the reviews for the wave keyboard, I thought this was the one for me. But it's really not and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with wrist or shoulder issues. Though I do like the fact that the keys are are different heights, the fact that the keyboard isn't split means your wrists are in a totally unnatural position. I've only been using it for a couple of hours this morning and my wrists are really quite sore.
The extra function keys are all great, but most keyboard these days have those anyway.

Received the cordless keyboard and mouse within two days, brilliant. The mouse was recognised instantly but took almost an hour to get the keyboard recognised even following the correct procedure, it kept telling me it did not recognise the batteries, so not a plug in and go. Had problems with the keys not recognising and missing letters out and was wondering if I had made a mistake ordering a cordless board. Removed the tranmitter and rebooted and so far have not had the problem back, hope it stays this way.
Saying that the board is very well constructed and solid , the mouse, 'laser' is brilliant and would recommend to anyone, get a laser mouse.
Thanks again to Amazon.
