Ashlique says "This Logitech combo will make any computer user's life easier!" about Logitech Cordless Desktop® MX™ 5500 Revolution Keyboard and Mouse (920-000383)

Ashlique — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:28:04 GMT

As a freelance graphic designer and avid computer gamer I needed a keyboard and mouse that could withstand hours of use on a daily basis, and be very accurate and steady. Since this mouse and keyboard combo connects through a blue-tooth usb, I can switch to my laptop and back to my desktop easily.

The mouse is very accurate and allows me to have a steady hand when working on my graphic design. I'm able to configure the buttons on the mouse to do specific actions in different programs. In my Photoshop, I can use the buttons to help with my graphic design, but in my online games, I can use the buttons for other features in those games. The battery life is great as long as you keep it on the charger every night. If I forget to put it on the charger every night, I can run into battery life issues if I use it all day long. Since the mouse has its own charger and not inserted batteries, it has no back up if you run out of power. You have to put it on the charger and either take a break and not...

sweetsissy says "Feels great but drops letters and skips." about Logitech Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave

sweetsissy — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:26:45 GMT

Logitech has put out a great feeling keyboard. The mouse that comes with this package is so-so regarding being comfortable BUT it is a very accurate mouse. I can live with that aspect of it.

The problem is with the keyboard. It drops and/or skips letters. If you are a hunt and peck person you will still notice the defect because of the skipping. A person who can type will notice all the dropped letters as they go along. If you are off line and using a word processor it was not to bad but if you are online trying to type in passwords or type email it can cause some bad situations. It cost me a $3,000.00 error with my bank account that I was fortunate enough to be able to correct but the hassle was immense..

As for the design and feel of the keyboard I truly like that. It is a very comfortable keyboard to use. I have talked to tech support regarding what they recommend and they said the Logitech K350. (Stay away from the Wave Pro as it is the same identical keyboard.) ...

amparo1998 says "are your hands smaller than a 5 grader?" about Logitech V450 Nano Wireless Mouse

amparo1998 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:22:59 GMT

can you say hand cramps ????? or have i started with too many questions already ?? well at first the idea of this small mouse was great i loved it then .. two hours in my hands started hurting my hands litteraly were cramping up also when you clicked it was pretty loud everytime you clicked it was like a hard click instead of the usual low soft click you can get with other mouses ? (mice?) hnn? well what i do recoment wich isnt this is a big mouse i say that after my experience with this one the bigger the better a big mouse where your hand actually feels like it is relaxing and you are just laying your hand over the mouse is great. i had loved the idea of a cute small mouse but i definitly will say that its not worth the pain unless you have tiny hands like that burger king commercial or smaller than a fifth grader! i could not recommend this product and feel good about it feels like premature arthritus!

onyx95 says "the perfect addition to any computer." about Logitech V220 Optical Wireless Notebook Mouse

onyx95 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:21:45 GMT

Small, compact and affordable all rolled up into one product. This little mouse has changed the way I use my computers. All of them. If a computer has a USB port (like the public Library), I use my little Logitech. The laser optics never fails, the roller works great and the batteries last a surprisingly long time for a single AA.

I received this as a gift and find that it is one of my favorite gifts. I use it daily (like right now) every time I am on the computer you can bet that I have it. It is small enough to fit in a side pocket of my computer bag and the handy switch (on the back that automatically turns on and off when you put the USB plug into its handy slot) makes sure that I remember to turn it off to conserve the battery.

It has never failed me, it works - it just does on several types of surfaces. You don't have to have a mouse mat, or even a completely flat surface. I sometimes use it on my leg or the couch cushion. I have had this for about...

njchicaa says "This Logitech Wireless Mouse is inexpensive and easy to install." about Logitech 910-000558 V220 Cordless Notebook Mouse - Brown

njchicaa — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:50:14 GMT

When the touchpad on my laptop died last week, it took me awhile to even try to figure out if I was dealing with a virus, a software issue, or busted hardware. This morning my husband brought me the Logitech Wireless Mouse that he uses with his work laptop, and, well, now that I'm able to use this thing again, let's just say that trying to troubleshoot the issue is no longer a priority.

He simply put the mouse down on top of my closed laptop and walked away. There were no instructions, suggestions, or advice given to me. He just passed this Logitech Cordless Mouse off to me and then headed off to work. I'm no computer expert, but I was able to figure out how to remove the little USB port from the bottom, pop it into the laptop, and then get this Wireless Mouse working within like 3 minutes. Seriously, this is Wireless and Cordless Mice for Dummies. If I can do it, anyone can!

At only about $30 for this Logitech Wireless Mouse, you really can't go wrong with it. It is cheap,...

TaraLee says "Need a better mousetrap as this is a very smart mouse!" about Microsoft Wireless Optical 3000 Wireless Mouse

TaraLee — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:36:36 GMT

I travel a lot for my job. When I am at work I rely upon my docking station and my wired mouse. But with the power cord and brick, the removable disk drive (I have a tablet laptop and there just isn't room for a disc player), the charging cords for my black berry, cell phone and kindle, I just cant handle an more cords.

Enter the Microsoft Wireless Optical 3000 Wireless Mouse. I was skeptical that it would work. Would it roll, would I have to put my had at an odd angle to make sure the optical eye had the correct contact with its receiver... on and on I worried that this would be a disappointment and I would be stuck in track pad hell every time I traveled.

I was wrong. This wireless mouse is awesome. It comes with a receiver that you simply plug into your USB port and away you go. No software, plug and play even on a windows system! Fantastic, responsive and sensitive. I could not be happier.

Oh yeah, it is also pink.

LauraBelle says "Works at Great Distance" about Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse

LauraBelle — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:34:17 GMT

This is kind of like third in a series of three reviews. I had a laptop mishap, damaging the display on my MacBook. See my reviews on the <a href="http://www.viewpoints.com/Dell-IN1910N-Flat-Panel-Monitor-review-235b5">Dell IN1910N Flat Panel Monitor</a> and <a href="http://www.viewpoints.com/Apple-Wireless-Keyboard-review-db1d4">Apple Wireless Keyboard</a> to find out the full sordid story of what happened and why I'm using my MacBook closed up as a desktop.

With a monitor plugged in and a wireless keyboard, I now needed a wireless mouse. Had I bought non-Apple, I could have gotten a keyboard for much less and that had a track pad included on t he keyboard, but as I mentioned in the Wireless Keyboard review, with that I wouldn't have the hot keys, and I'd also be using up valuable USB ports.

So the next step after the Dell Monitor and Apple Wireless Keyboard was of course the mouse, and in this case the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse. It works exactly the same as the Wired Mighty Mouse I have...

LauraBelle says "All About Function" about Apple Wireless Keyboard

LauraBelle — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:50:07 GMT

For the full story of what happened to my laptop display and why I chose to not fix it just yet and use it as a desktop computer, see <a href="http://www.viewpoints.com/Dell-IN1910N-Flat-Panel-Monitor-review-235b5">Dell IN1910N Flat Panel Monitor</a>. Yet, it goes to reason, that once I decided on that route and chose a monitor, I now needed some type of keyboard/mouse. Because I was used to doing everything on a laptop and having the ease to move around at will, I wanted to duplicate that as much as possible. Unfortunately, the monitor would have to stay put, so I decided to do a wireless keyboard and mouse.

At Best Buy, I was advised to go with an Apple Wireless keyboard and mouse setup. The salesperson reasoned I could go with non-Apple and it would function, but I would have to have something plugged into my USBs for that, and with only two available on the old MacBook, I needed to save those as much as possible. An Apple employee that was stocking product on the shelves chimed in that...

GrandmaIsGod says "Logitech Wireless Notebook Mouse well worth the price." about Logitech V220 Optical Wireless Notebook Mouse

GrandmaIsGod — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:00:11 GMT

I was afraid that when my son first got this mouse to go with my new laptop it would be to small. It is somewhat smaller than other wirelesses mouses and I did not know if I would be comfortable with it.

Was I wrong the Logitech wireless mouse is a perfect fit for any laptop or notebook computer. I don't like using the touch pads with laptop/notebooks so this was a godsend. I have not problems using it and when I have to use another computer the other mouses actually feel too big for my hand and I have problems using the other mouses.

The wireless controller that plugs into the laptop/notebook is fairly small and dose not interfere with your use of the laptop/notebook when using it on your lap. If you want to put it up then the wireless controller fits neatly into the mouse so that you can store it when not in use. However, you can also leave it plugged in and not have to worry about it getting broken. (unless you drop it)

I would recommend this mouse...

JustMy2Cents says "Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse tracks smoothly and easily" about Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000

JustMy2Cents — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:44:21 GMT

The Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 works great! It moves smoothly and easily and has a nice feel in your hand. I used to have the old trackball type mouse and moving to an optical mouse has greatly improved my ability to move around the computer screen. It was a very inexpensive (less than $20) upgrade to my computer that I was sorry I did not make sooner. It tracks so well that I do not even need to use a mouse pad, although I have one sitting there for the heck of it.

This mouse also has the convenience of a button on the side where you "left click" that when you activate it will act as a magnifier for any text that you are pointing to. While I don't use it often, every now and then it comes in handy and is much easier than fooling around with the font or text size in the view.

Microsoft came up with a simple clean design that is ergonomically pleasing to use and has the reliability that you expect from Microsoft.

dmdifalco says "Logitech Headphones are a Mother's Dream!!!" about Logitech Internet Chat Headphones

dmdifalco — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:26:36 GMT

When my daughter bought these Logitech Headphones for her desktop pc, I never realized in a thousand years how much that I would enjoy them myself also. Not only does she love to listen to her You Tube Music loud but if she isn't doing that, she is chatting to her friends online. She let me sample how clear the sound was for her and the silence for me (when she is using them) is more precious than words can say. I was kind of surprized because they are not that expensive and than again...they are not the least expensive headphones that you can find in the market either. But you get what you pay for. They are perfect for our family. My daughter is an adult who came home for awhile so there is no need for me to monitor her activities on the net. Logitech was always an outstanding name in the Computer Community even back when I was a sales person for small appliances. Their accessories would fly off the shelf. I'm happy to see that they are still going strong!

angel2485 says "Logitech LX8 Cordless Laser Mouse" about Logitech LX 8 Cordless Laser Mouse

angel2485 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:00:56 GMT

Logitech LX8 has autoscroll, fits easily in the palm of your hand and can be shut off to conserve battery life, features reset button can be customized to your preferences, so comfortable to use and never causes fatigue can also be used as left or right hand mouse. Batteries last about three to four months under heavy usage, much longer under lighter conditions. It is well constructed with rubberized side grips. Affordable, and comes in some colors, really love this mouse it is so enjoyable to use.

rolchc says "My newest toy" about Logitech MX3000 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

rolchc — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:45:50 GMT

I just purchased a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo the ex100, and boy why did i wait so long. Pluged it into the usb port and on my way, no more mouse pad to clutter up my mouse. The keyboard is a slim design which i can hold on my lap across the room. the FN key allows me many one touch functions. And i just love the scrool wheel on the mouse it makes scrooling so easy. It must have been the grace of God that led me to this item while browsing in the store that day, I knew i needed a change in my computer system, but not quite sure just what it was to make the difference i was looking for. I did not even have to send to logitech for regestration,they sent me an email to do so. i am so happy with my new toy. try it you'll like it.

westernbabe says "Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse Is A Great Product" about Microsoft 6000 (69K-00001) Mouse

westernbabe — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 13:43:34 GMT

I purchased the Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse on-line and love it! The freedom of not having a corded mouse is definitely a plus. It has a 4 way scrolling - tilt wheel side to side and as well goes up and down in worksheets, web pages, photos and more. The instant viewer is a wheel button to display all open windows at once. There is a magnifier that you just point and click the magnifier button to enlarge and edit details. It also has a battery status LED indicator to let you know if your battery is getting low. There is a customizable button to reassign any button to fit your needs. This mouse will definitely spoil you and leave you wondering why it took you so long to buy and use this one. I especially love the magnifier button to enable me to read the very small print or details on items that are too hard to ready otherwise. This mouse has an ergonomic design and great comfort in using. I never get tired when being on the computer for several hours now that...

onwaytozion says "Logitech Cordless Mouse is user friendly" about Logitech V450 Nano Wireless Mouse

onwaytozion — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:18:34 GMT

I loved my laptop computer, but the mouse pad included was really slowing me down. It eliminated hardware by allowing you to use your finger to move the cursor around on the screen. However, my finger doesn't have the precision of a mouse, so it took me a greater amount of time to manuever around the screen.

I was familiar with using a mouse on the desktop computer. Can I use a mouse on the laptop?

The answer is YES. Logitech, the same manufacturer of the mouse I used on the desktop, has developed a cordless mouse for the notebook. There are no wires involved to worry about. There is a Plug-and-Forget Nano-receiver, which means that you can plug the receiver into the USB port on the notebook and just leave it plugged in. It is small enough that it doesn't even hang up on my PC case. If you need to use the USB port for something else, you can always use the handy compartment to store the receiver inside the mouse.

Not only is the Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse ergonomicly designed,...

Kajalchhaya says "Worth to purchase." about Logitech QuickCam Messenger Personal Web Camera

Kajalchhaya — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:45:25 GMT

Easy to install and easy to use. Has a built in microphone and comes with software for a messenger program. It has a very simple set-up and no other problems thereafter also. Also it fits on the top of laptop and so no other set up required.

The microphone is actually of a pretty good quaitly. Clear and loud, if you want loud. Also it allows the images to be followed. To be precise, I want my son's face to be followed so that he is not out of the video while talking to my relatives. And this is possible with the different settings.

Also the company Logitech is well known, durable and with great customer service. They live upto their name, excellent support, regular updates and great piece of hardware as well. Trustable brand name. My son plays with a lot and drops off quite a lot times but then it has never affected its quality.

It also captures the images and records the videos and that too of a better quality. The good part is that it stores directly on the harddisk and so becomes...

yangrou says "Comfort Right at Your Fingertips" about Logitech MX610 Laser Mouse

yangrou — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:19:40 GMT

Some things are just worth the investment. If you're a businessman and always at your desk, then the purchase of a good chair would be worth the investment. I for one spend a good chunk of my day in front of my computer and use my mouse at least 6 hours a day, so when my old Logitech finally caved in it was only natural for me to look for something worth while. After taking a quick look around, I decided to stay with Logitech since for the most part, they make good quality keyboards and mice and I went with the MX610.

Overview
Wireless mouse. USB connectivity. Laser precision which allows you to use it on most surfaces without a mouse pad.

Functions
The MX610 has the very basic left and right click buttons which are pretty quiet compared to other brands. The scroll wheel is fairly standard as well. If you press in with it it'll turn into a zoom in/out button.

To the side where your thumb rests you'll find the forward and back buttons. This may not mean much to some users but once you start...

babygirl3171980 says "Wireless Nunchuck for the Wii! Weeeee!!" about Nyko Wireless Nunchuck for Wii

babygirl3171980 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:49:47 GMT

I picked up this handy little thing at my local Best Buy. For around twenty five dollars? Cant remember. I got it because the exercises on myJullian Michaels' game had me whipping myself in the eye, constantly. It was a godsend! it works great and uses two AAA batteries that last forever, or at least mine have.Im sure it depends on the brand. Anyways, it syncs easily with the wii, and can be interchanged between wii's. It comes with a little attachment for the Wiimote for the two controllers to work together.

toastqueen says "Super convenient" about Microsoft Wireless Optical 3000 Wireless Mouse

toastqueen — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:10:39 GMT

The Microsoft Wireless Optical 3000 Wireless Mouse is a workhorse and is super-convenient to set up. The design is ergonomic, no hand-cramping happening here!, and is designed for both right-handed and left-handed users. It uses very little energy, requiring only infrequent battery changes. One disappointment is rechargeable batteries really can't be used in the mouse, they just don't have enough "juice"!

The Wireless Mouse comes with a receiver that is simply plugged into a USB-port on the side of your laptop. At times it can become a little obtrusive as it sticks out of the side; if you are working on a desk it would not become a problem. If you are lounging on the couch, you need to be careful that you do not break it off.

To save battery life, you can insert the receiver into the bottom of the mouse which will turn the mouse off. There is a simple "connect" button on the bottom of the mouse in order to get the mouse to work.

joanzack says "Hercules Web Cam - A good value for the money" about Guillemot Hercules deluxe Web Cam

joanzack — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 06:15:02 GMT

I purchased two of these, one for my daughter and one for myself. I ordered them because they were cheap on newegg and had free shipping.

The clip on the camera seems designed backward to me, on both of my laptops and on my desktop the camera seems more secure when the clip is twisted backward.

The camera is equiped with 4 blue LED lights which are quite bright. They can be turned off using the software.

To focus the camera twist the lens just like an old-school camera. The hercules software lets me change the color, light, balance, and zoom in.

I'm amazed by the quality of detail in this little camera. My camera has worked perfectly, and packs and travels well. My daughter's camera came DOA, but they quickly exchanged it for her and the new one works perfectly.

The camera is automatically picked up by windows and all of my mesaging programs: AIM, Windows Live Messenger, Skype, etc.

The camera also has a built in microphone, which I do use, as the one built into my laptop...
