 Great product with good price at Amazon December 27, 2007

First of all, you really can't beat the price here with its great quality. Two years ago I purchased one set of this model and recently I purchased another three sets to replace all my computers' keyboards and mouses. Unlike the other more expensive models which are bulky, the EX110 keyboard doesn't occupy lot of space on the desktop.
The keyboard uses two AAA batteries and the mouse uses 2 AA batteries. The battery drain is considerably low and I use rechargeable NiMH batteries that last for a long time. I like the speedy buttons on the keyboard to control the sound volume and mute, plus a quick button to open up the calculator. This unit comes with both PS2 connector and USB connector. You can use its PS2 connector if you don't want to waste your limited USB ports. For the new Dell Vostro Desktop model that comes without PS2 port, you can just plug this unit's USB connector to one of your USB port and it works for both keyboard and mouse. With fresh batteries, the unit can operate six feet away from the reciver. Of course, make sure that you don't lay your cordless phone, cell phone or wireless network antenna around the receiver and you will do fine.
I am very please with this product. The fact that this model has been on the market for more than two years without being retired from the manufacture, it speaks its great value for itself. Best of all, you can plug the USB connector into your computer and it works without the need to install any driver. Unless you want to try out additional software provided on the CD by Logitech, you can just toss the CD into your desk drawer.
Small footprint, excellent value for light/intermediate use December 28, 2007

At a price of only $29.99, I wasn't expecting too much, but this unit has delivered all that I expected - a functional wireless keyboard and mouse, working well right out of the box. I chose this unit because of (a) price, and (b) its small keyboard footprint. I wasn't seeking additional programmable buttons (though it has some), nor was I concerned with 800dpi pixel precision mouse performance, because it's not used for any work that detailed (like photo editing). We also didn't care if the mouse was "non-ergonomic", in fact, we prefer the 'older' style small mouse as opposed to the larger curved ergonomic style. Given these expectations, the EX110 does the trick for us. All buyers should consider listing what's important to them, in priority order, and let that be a guide for product selection. Many of us are so easily attracted and influenced by features and functions that we'll never use or use only infrequently.
Production quality appears sufficient for our light use, perhaps an hour each day; for a heavy user, I might be concerned about long term reliability of pounding the keys thousands of times, but that is simply an opinion and projection, and is not based on experience. I don't have enough time with the unit yet to experience the battery life (two AA in the mouse, two AAA in the keyboard). The system worked well right out of the box, and my wife, the primary user, is very pleased with it. The receiver sits under the desk totally out of view around 15 inches away from the mouse, with the thick desktop in between, with perfect performance. I didn't even have to install the Logitech drivers for my WinXP OS. My only product design complaint - the keyboard tilt legs (underside, in the rear, that lift the backside of the keyboard) are somewhat low, are not adjustable as on the more expensive units, and do not tilt the keyboard enough for her liking; this might be an individual preference.
recommend this to anyone that uses a computer June 4, 2006

I purchased this exact same item from Circuit City for more than $14.00 more than the price Amazon.com is charging! However I still think I paid a great price because Logitech made an exceptional keyboard and mouse. It was very easy to install (within seconds) and using a wireless mouse and keyboard are much more convenient and comfortable. I recommend this to anyone that uses a computer.
I'm a Happy Camper August 29, 2007

In my work, I hammer the dickens out of my keyboard-mouse combos, so every three years or so, even a good one like Logitech eventually buys the farm. This is my latest...and I'm plenty happy with it. Solid basic combo. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more expensive models, but I don't really need keyboard shortcuts for turning on the toaster or setting my alarm clock. One suggestion: Always go to the Logitech site and download/install the latest driver set for your model. The CD is always a version or three behind.
Good Logitech peripheral as usual June 14, 2007

At this point, I can't even count how many Logitech peripherals I've bought. They tend to make good stuff. What I like about this keyboard and mouse is that on a desk, the receiver can be somewhat blocked and still get a good signal. The range beats our older HP wireless devices.
