Works great with Windows7
Strengths: All functional....buttons work fine even without the software...
Weakness: Do not install software W7 works like it should without using Logitech software
Yes, when it first come out the Logitech software was buggy and may still be, but I figured out software wasn't and buttons were functional without it..Works flawlessly with W7...battery life is great on keyboard (months)...mouse never had any issues...had this for over 6 years and mouse recharges and holds charge for over 3 days...issues were not with equipment but with software..as long as...

Don't Waste Your $$...Bluetooth functionality not there
Strengths: keyboard has lots of pretty buttons that look cool on a desktop
Weakness: most of the buttons don't work or work correctly because of poor software developement for the product.
Logitech has always had good keyboards and mice...it's just that their software tries to do too much and accomplishes little more than wasting your time trying to get it to work. The bluetooth software (v 2.06) wrapped in this 'bluetooth' keyboard & mouse is incredible buggy; to the point of actually decreasing your productivity. Suggestion, stay away from Logitech bluetooth products until they...

Keyboard/Mouse problem
Strengths: When it works it's great.
Weakness: If your computer locks up or crashes forget it. No matter what you try the keyboard and mouse will not reconnect.
My work around is to turn off the computer, plug in a corded mouse, reboot, log into windows, luckily my wife's account doesn't have a password or I'd be screwed. Using the mouse start the logitech mouse and keyboard settings application. Click on tools, bluetooth, connect device. Click on search again 3 or 4 times while pressing the connect button on the back of the keyboard. Finally it gets...

Logitech MX5000 Laser Bluetooth mouse and keyboard
Strengths: Very cool design, great features, mouse works great, Bluetooth 2.0
Weakness: Poor functionality - Logitech shouldn't have released this yet. Needs new drivers/software.
This keyboard/mouse combo is promising, yet currently is not functioning how it should. The mouse is great - have had very little problems. However, Logitech desperately needs to update the functionality of the keyboard, as it simply does not work: 1. The touch-sensitive media controls on the right side are a great idea, but don't work correctly. The documentation states that you can tap the...

Great Toy if it worked properly! Annoying to use. Crashes your PC...!
Strengths: Terrific keyboard layout with very positive feel. Looks good. Mouse is excellent. Display, a gimmick, but has its uses. Touchpad LEDs a nice addition
Weakness: Setpoint software causes BSODs. Bluetooth connection is poor. Software options not as versatile as I would like.
Couple of comments to add. 1. The Setpoint Software. Oh boy, where to start? After MUCH ripping out and reinstalling of Setpoint and the drivers I found that the Windows Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) that I was suffering on a daily basis was actually due to the Setpoint Software that gives the MX5000 most of its advanced capabilities. At first, I suspected the Widcomm driver, so I ripped that out...
