Logitech Cordless Desktop S 510

Great Looking Keyboard/Mouse Combo

Strengths: Low Profile Easy to hit keys (low depth to trigger keypress) Good build quality (feels sturdy) Side-scrolling mouse (good for nagivating forward/backward in firefox) Non-obtrusive media buttons

Weakness: Non-rechargeable kit (though I use rechargeables in it) Mouse doesn't have enough buttons to do side-scrolling AND navigating

I have been using this keyboard for three days now and love it. It has the low-profile look to it of the high-end Di Novo products but a very low-end price. It has low-depth keys, making it easier to type fast (you don't have to press down as far). The feel of the overall unit is excellent, especially compared to the Logitech Cordless Elite Duo that it is replacing... much sturdier. And finally,...

I have been using this keyboard for three days now and love it. It has the low-profile look to it of the high-end Di Novo products but a very low-end price. It has low-depth keys, making it easier to type fast (you don't have to press down as far). The feel of the overall unit is excellent, especially compared to the Logitech Cordless Elite Duo that it is replacing... much sturdier. And finally, the media keys aren't nearly as obtrusive as with my previous keyboard and with similar models from other companies (or even Logitech).

The mouse is slightly smaller than the one in the Elite Duo kit which is a nice change. It lacks any forward/back navigation buttons for Internet Explorer or Firefox but the side-scrolling mouse wheel can be adapted to work for the same purpose (and took only a day to get used to - now it's just a cool feature). It may or may not be possible to use the wheel for this purpose in Windows or MacOS, as I use Linux. The mouse is responsive and lacks the red glow of most optical mice.

S510 Cordless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse

Strengths: great keyboard! quiet buttons. it feels like a notebook keyboard. sleek design. the first time i saw it, i had to get it. simple keystrokes and very thin. not heavy or clunky. works great.recommended!

Weakness: none for the keyboard, but the mouse that came with it is a piece of junk. i actually decided to go out and buy the logitech MX 518 gaming mouse. keyboard is still awesome!!!!

once again. great keyboard, but horrible mouse. i don't know what logitech was thinking when they designed the mouse. it feel like something you would get from a cracker jack box. but the logitech mx 518 gaming mouse is great. it even matches the keyboard.

S510

Strengths: stylish, thin, wireless, programmable keys

Weakness: average mouse

this is a great desktop set for the money. logitech has never let me down. the keyboard is very thin and light, and the keys are a lot like a laptop... quiet with a short, smooth stroke. comes with batteries and has excellent wireless signal. the only downside is the mouse is nothing special. it's not bad, but they could have easily thrown in something better. at least it works for both righties...

S510 Review

Strengths: Strong wireless connection, excellent range, keyboard-style raised keys.

Weakness: Takes some time getting used to, mouse is below average, wireless hub different and awkward to place compared to Media Pacakge version.

Coming from a DiNovo wireless desktop, I'd have to say this one is definitely a good fit for its price. At a lesser pricing standpoint, one would expect much less when compared to the DiNovo. However, I was glad to be wrong- the range of the keyboard was excellent, the grip felt comfortable, and while the hotkeys were a bit oddly placed, it was nothing you couldn't get used to. Overall it is an...

Excellent keyboard, a great match for your flat panel

Strengths: a lot of functions, slim design, beautiful shape

Weakness: key stroke feels short, takes a while to get used to it

Was attracitve to this keyborad at first sight. Couldn't resist its tempertation. Wireless is almost automatically set up when I inserted battery and pluged into computer. Love all the functions the keyborad comes with. Nice mouse too. Those multimedia keys are very handy. Very happy with it.
