2nd yr, 2nd Anywhere MX mouse failure.
By Leland Chew
Like the other users experience that over a short period of time down the line, the mouse will be making phantom double clicks which can result in some unexpected consequences. In Excel, it's opening up opening up formulas that it should not. In email it's sending messages before I intend. You drag & drop files to unintended/unwanted folders. The Logitech Anywhere MX mouse has become a business liability to me. I've called Logitech for a 2nd time in as many years. They won't acknowledge a widely documented issue as a design flaw. They offered to send another replacement once I send in my 2 bad devices. But instead I opted for another unifying laser mouse. Hopefully it won't become a liability too. I'm finding out that indeed the lowly computer mouse needs to be a finely tuned, accurate & reliable device.

Logitech Took 2 Steps Back - Comparing Old and New Versions
By Miguel C. Rodriguez
I uploaded some photos with notes comparing the Old and New versions of this mouse.
Just click the photos to view them all.

I will let the other reviewers speak on the details about this mouse in full.
This review is about how the New shiny/glossy body style is completely different from the Older version.
It is the only thing that has changed in my opinion.

Reason for Docking 1st Star - Gloss:
The Old version did not have a glossy or rubberized coating that wears off with use. Its plastic had this dull, yet high-grade, feeling to the touch that allowed your skin to breath for extended use without sweating.
The New version uses this plastic that is so smooth it looks nice, but in use it leads to sweaty hands and a very cheap feel. It's very smudge prone and kinda gross if you share it with someone who has sweaty hands.

Reason for Docking 2nd Star - Price:
When you make something better, you can justify the increase to the price.
When you make something lower-quality, you can sell it at a cheaper price.
Make something lower-quality and add to the cost? = Fail.
The New version currently costs almost $10 more.

Packaging:
So where is the justification in the price hike?
To offset the cost of retail packaging I guess, because it wasn't used to make the product better.
The retail packaging on this thing was ridiculous because it included a bunch of thick high-grade plastic to hold the mouse and receiver to give it a "pop-out" effect inside the package.
What a waste of materials and money that goes straight into the trash.

Even the case that comes with it is made of slightly different materials compared to the Old Version.
This results in a pouch that, again, is cool, but when you compare it to the Old version you can tell the materials are inferior here too.

I'm lazy and don't like returning things, so I gave the mouse to my sister and ordered the Old Version.
Buy them up while you still can. Everyone uses them around my office because it is a superior mouse.

Update - 10/21/2012

I noticed they changed the names of these two mice.
I looked back at my previous Amazon email confirmations and found that:
"Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX - Old Version"
is now called "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX - Matte Black".
"Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac (910-002896) - New Version"
is now called "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac (910-002896) - Gloss Black".

The price has also fluctuated and now the Newer model is cheaper than the Older one (most likely due to the older one's stock getting closer to selling out).
I have purchased another Older one to keep as a back up before I can no longer get one (I go through mice pretty fast because I'm a heavy user).

Due to the change in name and price I have added back the 2 stars I originally docked.
Now the user knows exactly what they are getting. Thank you Amazon/Logitech.

Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX
By D. Bannister
For the last year I have been using the Microsoft Touch Mouse. I enjoyed it very much however it began to have issues lately so I thought it was time for a change. I liked the mouse but would not re-buy it. Gestures were fine but, for me, basic buttons work best. So I discounted the both the Logitech Touch and Pad devices. Instead I went with the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX.

The Pros:
1. Ergonomically it is very nice. It is a medium-sized mouse and fits in the hand very well.
2. Good weight. You know you have something in your hand but it doesn't weigh you down.
3. Moves very nicely on all surfaces. There are four pads on the bottom which facilitate easy movement.
4. Reception from computer to mouse is very good and there is no lag or skipping.
5. The Application Switch button works very well. One push and all the applications open on the screen find an empty space and you can select a new open application. It works very well. Much better than the four finger gesture required by the Microsoft Touch mouse.
6. Left and Right button play. The click is noticeable but the button travel to click is near perfect. As it should be because Logitech has been in this business a long time.
7. Tracking is good (some issues - described below) and the SetPoint software let's you customize the mouse to an acceptable extent.

Could be better:
1. I find gross tracking is very good. However fine tracking i.e. placing the cursor exactly can be fiddly. For some reason I have also found this to vary from application to application. Google Chrome is especially fiddly.
2. The scroll wheel: When you use it normally I have noticed what I can only describe is a jump up at the end of the scroll. It is like after the final click the scroll wheel says - 'no I'm not stopping quite yet. Just a half click further. There!' Again it is inconsistent and depends upon the application.

When you press down on the scroll wheel and click it you get the smooth scroll which is very quick and very jumpy. It is useful for long web pages but I do not keep the track wheel on this setting as a default.

Overall I am pretty pleased with the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX and would recommend it for purchase.

Almost perfect
By Mani Arabi
IN SHORT:
I use this as a WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL for itunes and media players as well as for gaming. The receiver, when plugged directly into your computer, tends to have issues with interference unless you are very close; this is resolved easily by using the expander and placing it away from sources of interference. Overall, a fantastic controller and (almost) fully programmable although some minor setbacks exist.

PROS:
-Can program different commands for EACH program! I use this gamepad as a wireless "remote" for iTunes, my media players, etc when I am away from my computer. (I output to my tv so this functionality is VERY useful)
-Programmable (EXTENSIVELY)
-Force Feedback
-Supports XInput and DInput (XInput = new standard, "auto detects" game settings; DInput = "old" standard; use this mode to program the buttons.
-Nice solid feel, buttons are crisp
-Good range, IF clear of interference (see cons)

NEUTRAL:
-When in DInput mode, it IS the rumblepad2 (or whatever Logitechs old "famous" controller was).
-In XInput, it detects as the F710 and is not programmable. (Must use the DInput to program)

CONS:
-Range suffers drastically from interference. When plugged into my pc directly, the signal failed when I was 3 feet away. However, I used the extension (that comes with it) and put the receiver on my desk and it works flawlessly from over 20 feet away in my kitchen now.
-Not all programmable functions seem to work right. In particular, I set the L/R triggers to CTRL+Up/Down in Itunes so that I could alter the volume. Although this works if bound to a different button, and the triggers work when bound to a different command, oddly enough the triggers would not work when bound to ctrl+up/down.

Unique Issue: I played "The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom" with this controller in Windowed mode and apparently windows does not recognize any input as going in. Don't get me wrong, the game worked fine, however every 5minutes my screensaver would kick in unless I moved the mouse or keyboard!! This has ONLY happened in this one game though so I am assuming it is a unique issue and not the fault of the gamepad.

Overall, highly recommended if you are looking for a gamepad for your PC; especially if you output things to your TV so you can use it doubly as a remote.

Logitech F710 - Steam Big Picture Controller Option
By Geoffrey Straubinger
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RTE2S9RU1IRG1 Quick review of the Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad. I got this to use on a Windows7 PC with Steam (digital game distribution/library software) and their "Big-Picture" mode that can be used to play games on a TV or away from a tradition mouse/keyboard. Windows7 found the driver and installed it quickly with no fuss. Games detect this as a Xbox360 controller(tested with Borderlands2, Dead Island, Need for Speed and Blur), while the style is closer to a Playstation controller, the X Y A B buttons are closer to an Xbox controller and it works great in that regard(no extra setup in game needed).

Like:
-Back of controller had a nice smooth/soft feel plastic
-Buttons and Sticks have nice weight/resistance
-Windows7 Found the drivers and installed with no fuss, ready to play quickly
-Comes with name-brand batteries (2x AA) already installed
-Comes with USB extension cable to locate wireless receiver away from computer (I did not need to do this however).
-Games recognize it as an XBOX360 Controller, no setup/binding needed
-I have used it with a range from 3-6 feet with no issues
-Sticks have a textured rubber on the top that is really nice, feels great and fingers don't slip off.

Dislike:
-The buttons have a good feel but sound very plastic (loud click-clack sounds when playing)
-Package (plastic clamshell) is easier to open than some, but still a pain and easily cuts your fingers on the edges
-Has an 8-way dpad but while UP-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT work great and have a nice feel, NW/NE and SW/SE directions take some work to get right and have it actually register...almost feels like it is only supposed to be a 4-way dpad (not a big deal for me as my games mostly use the sticks).

Next generation PC controller
By Sukru Tikves
This new Logitech game controller is a natural evolution of my Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2. While the older model was mimicking PS2 controller style, F710 is a blend of current Xbox 360 and PS3 models.

The overall build quality is what's expected from a good Logitech product. It feels sturdy and heavy enough, while provides comfort with soft plastic grips. The buttons and sticks are responsive, and miniature wireless receiver is a great plus. My only complaint is that the controller is slightly small for my hands, and I'd prefer Xbox 360 Controller as a better fit.

However the major feature in this new F710 model is neither the programmable buttons, nor the great looks, but the ability to emulate both older controllers and the Xbox 360 wired controller with the flip of a switch. If you've a collection of both older and newer games, you'll know my pain. Most Games for Windows titles would only accept the Xbox 360 controller as a keyboard alternative, on the other hand that would not work with slightly older ones (like the original Prince of Persia trilogy). Then you'd have to switch controllers every time you switched between the games (keeping them both plugged at the same time - unfortunately - causes more issues).

Thus, if you leave your PS3 or 360 from time to time, and come back to the PC, you'll find yourself at home with F710. No more switching controllers between games!

Pros:
+ Xbox 360 emulation on the fly
+ Ease of installation (default drivers on Win7 works)
+ Good ergonomics
+ Small wireless receiver
+ Responsive controls

Cons:
- Slightly small for larger hands
- Analog / digital pad placement (I find the 360 way more natural)

Not as great as my last Logitech keyboard iPad case.
By J. Nolt
I bought this keyboard for my new iPad Air, replacing my absolutely BELOVED Logitech keyboard for my iPad 2.

There are just a few quibbles I have with this keybord preventing a better rating:

The keys are slightly offset from what I'm used to. The "A" key is slightly larger than the rest of the keys, because it's simultaneously the "CAPS LOCK" key. That makes the A key the last key on the left side of the keyboard, which is disconcerting to a touch typist like myself.

The offset keys put the numbers in a different location than I'm used to, so reaching for the always always always used @ symbol is really throwing me for a loop.

Those two keyboard positioning issues I might get used to. But the keys are normal-sized, which is great, but it might also make me feel a little bit too much like I haven't switched to a differently-behaving keyboard when I move from laptop to iPad.

The keys themselves feel pretty good to press and they make a nice quiet clicking sound as I type. But I think they might be slightly rounded on top, and that makes me personally feel a little less confident in my typing, because I don't get full contact on the key with my fingers.

Closing the case is a different experience from my last Logitech iPad keyboard as well, because this case does not automatically put the iPad to sleep when I close it. Not sure why that is, but it means that when I close the keyboard I have to click the edge button to sleep the iPad myself. Not as "just works" as I would like it to be.

Finally, the keyboard has a tendency to wake up the iPad when it is closed! If I squeeze it a bit in the middle-- which is a quite common thing to happen in daily use, the iPad wakes even though the case is closed. This means that in addition to sleeping the iPad I also have to turn off the keyboard when I close the case. Rather than a one-swoop close action and a one-swoop open action, now I have three actions to take to safely close the case, and three to wake it up.

And I don't know why there is a cloth tag attached to the thing. It seems just decorative, and I could really do without extraneous material just hanging off the front of my keyboard.

All in all, it's an ok product, but not as sweet as the magnetic, front-cover-only case I had for my iPad 3. I don't know if the equivalent front-cover-only case for the iPad Air behaves like my old one, but I miss it enough that I may return this one and try that one instead.

GREAT in almost every way
By Ron Cronovich
If you've never used a real keyboard with your iPad, it really changes the experience. Most people can type way faster on a real keyboard, so it becomes possible to use the iPad instead of a laptop to take notes at meetings, or write long and detailed emails, or craft documents using Pages. Plus, keyboard shortcuts for cut-copy-paste and cursor movement work like on an actual Macbook (which is to say, way faster than using the iPad's on-screen virtual keyboard).

Cases with integrated keyboards are the most convenient way to carry a keyboard with your iPad, though the keyboards are smaller than standard sized and therefore take a little getting used to. And--some are far better than others.

The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio is probably the best one; it's fantastic in several important respects.

Most importantly, it offers the BEST typing experience of all the keyboard cases I've had experience with, including Belkin's ultimate keyboard case for iPad 2/3/4 (which I liked a lot), Zagg, earlier Logitech ones, and others. Every iPad keyboard case makes tradeoffs or compromises to fit a full keyboard into a small package. This Logitech keyboard's tradeoffs include: there are no separate caps-lock and tabs keys (to use these you press "fn" and a letter), and the row of number keys along the top is shifted over to the right slightly. These tradeoffs take just a little while to get used to. But the upside is that the keyboard is less cramped than most keyboards built into iPad cases. Plus, the design of the keys and the typing action is really quite premium compared to other cases. I LOVE the keyboard on this thing; I'm a very fast touch-typist, and I can really fly on it. The compromises that other keyboard cases make are usually smaller, more cramped keys and awkward, nonstandard layouts.

Also quite important: the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio is very lightweight. It's lighter than the comparable Kensington and Zagg models you can find at Best Buy, and about as light as some folio-type cases that DON'T have keyboards. The iPad Air itself is nearly 1/2 pound lighter than iPad 3/4, and this case is a few ounces lighter than the comparable Logitech and Belkin cases for iPad 3/4. So when you put an iPad Air in this and compare it to an iPad 3 or 4 in a similar case, the weight difference is quite dramatic.

This case also provides good protection considering its light weight. I think you can't get better protection than this case unless you're willing to put up with a much heavier case, like an Otterbox--and then you'd lose the keyboard.

You should also read the excellent review here by Positive Logic, who has more experience than I with iPad keyboard cases and has valuable insights about this case. Positive Logic and a few other reviewers have said that the automatic sleep/wake function of this case doesn't work consistently with some units. It worked fine on mine, but you should take PL's advice if you can, and take your iPad Air to Best Buy to try out the case to verify that the sleep/wake function works before you buy the case. PL's experience was that two units in the store didn't work but one did.

I have only one criticism of this case, and it's subjective and superficial. The material of the cover is like rubber or vinyl, and makes the case look bland in my opinion, not horrible, but just not anything special. The iPad Air is a premium product with a premium price, and it looks like a premium product. There are cheaper tablets that are quite powerful and have excellent displays (like the latest Kindle Fire 8.9" HDX), but they're made of boring plastic while the Air is housed in aluminum and glass with lovely laser-cut chamfered edges. I don't want to hide my beautiful, expensive iPad in a case that looks like it cost $30.

Now, some people disagree and think the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio looks very good. I am not saying they're wrong. I'm saying that if you care about the looks of a case, you should see this one in person before buying it.

Of course, you might think the typing experience and the light weight are far more important qualities than the appearance. Which makes you much less superficial and much more rational than me. If so, buy this case! It is excellent and you're be happy.

I'd like to suggest a few alternatives for you to consider before spending your hard-earned $$$.

Belkin makes a very similar case that's also very light-weight: Belkin Ultimate Wireless Keyboard and Case for iPad Air (iPad 5) - Black (F5L151ttBLK) I had the version of this for the iPad 2/3/4. It had a terrific keyboard. It also looks good. But it's more expensive than the Logitech case you're looking at right now.

Another alternative is Logitech's "flagship" case, Logitech Fabric Skin Keyboard Folio for iPad Air, Carbon Black. The version they made for iPad 2/3/4 Logitech FabricSkin Keyboard Folio Mystic Blue for iPad 2 and iPad (3rd/4th generation) (920-005357) came in a variety of colors and finishes and looked really great. But it was very heavy. According to the specs, the new version for the Air weighs scarcely more than the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio you're looking at now. But the Fabricskin has two disadvantages relative to the Ultrathin Keyboard Folio. First, the Fabricskin costs $50 more. Second, the Fabricskin's keyboard isn't as nice for fast touch typing. I type at least 80 words per minute on a laptop keyboard, and slightly less than that on a good iPad keyboard case. But on the Fabricskin, I drop to around 60 words per minute with more errors. It's just harder to feel your way around the keyboard without looking at it. But, it FEELS nice, and it's sealed to be more resistant to spilled coffee or spilled vodka tonics.

Finally, here's an alternative that might work for some of you: instead of getting a keyboard case/folio--most of which have compromises with respect to typing experience or weight, consider getting a lightweight sleeve for your iPad, a stand, and a stand-alone keyboard. If you shop carefully, the total cost and total weight of these three items will be similar to the weight and cost of the integrated keyboard cases you're considering. Here are some good options if you want to go this route:

Stand: SHARKK White Portable Fold-Up Stand for Apple iPad mini / iPad 2 / iPad 3 / The New iPad 4 With Retina Display / Galaxy Tab Nexus / Playbook / Xoom / Toshiba / Acer / Nook / and Other Tablets

Sleeve: rooCASE Apple iPad Air (5th generation iPad) / iPad 4 3 2 Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Cover (Black / Neon Green)

Cheap and good and very portable keyboard: [Upgraded Version] SHARKK® ALUMINUM Ultra Slim Mini Bluetooth 3.0 Wireless Keyboard with BUILT IN RECHARGEABLE BATTERY For iPad Air / iPad Mini Retina / iPad 2 / iPad 3 / iPad 4 / iPad Mini / The New iPad With Retina Display / Nexus 7 / Galaxy Tab / And...

Premium and GREAT though a bit less portable keyboard: Logitech Bluetooth Easy-Switch K811 Keyboard for Mac, iPad, iPhone - Silver/Black

Some iPad sleeves have outer pockets that will fit the keyboard and stand. And some times, you won't need to take the keyboard with you; this setup gives you the option of leaving it at home, reducing your travel weight. This is an advantage over most folio cases with integrated keyboards, because -- with most of these cases -- the keyboard is not removable, so you're taking it with you even when you don't need it.

Best iPad Keyboard I've Ever Used - Close to Perfect
By PositiveLogic
I recently updated from an iPad 4 to the new iPad Air. In the course of my iPad experience, I've had the opportunity to own the ClamCase Pro iPad Keyboard Case for iPad 2, 3 & 4, Belkin Ultimate Wireless Keyboard and Case for iPad 2, 3rd Gen and 4th Gen with Retina Display, Logitech FabricSkin Keyboard Folio Carbon Black for iPad 2 and iPad (3rd/4th generation) (920-005370) and then Logitech Keyboard Folio for iPad 2G/3G/4G - Carbon Black (920-005460).

I've written reviews on all of these. Two of them were not all that great and two were very good. But the common flaw all of the above keyboards had was they they were heavy. They, in fact made the pre-iPad Air feel heavy. In the case of both the Fabricskin and the previous version on the Logitech Keyboard Folio, the features and fast typing I got from them made up for the extra weight.

Now with the iPad Air, I was delighted to have purchased the this new version of the Logitech Folio. Here are my early impressions after a few days of use:

Pros:

VERY LIGHTWEIGHT. When you take the keyboard out of the box, you immediately notice that it, by itself, is as light as feather. Build-wise, you can see how Logitech used less material for locking in the iPad Air and that accounts for the lighter weight. Sure enough, when I slipped in my new iPad, I immediately felt that the combination of the two was just right. To put things in perspective, the case and the iPad Air combined feel like the weight of the iPad 4 without a case. Obviously, if you weigh the two, I'm sure that not really true. BUT from the standpoint of my perception, the combined weight of the Air on this new Logitech case is in the neighborhood of the older versions of the iPad without a case. With all other keyboard covers I'd used previously, I was jarred by the feeling that the weight made the iPad into something it was not meant to be.

FAST KEYS. Yes, the fact that the shift and tab keys to double-duty takes some getting used to. But it's worth it. Keyboards that give you the standard keyboard arrangement in the dimensions of the iPad feel cramped and ultimately a pain to type on. I have averaged sized hands and I totally feel more comfortable typing on this, than on the Belkin Ultimate. I'm going my usual 70 to 80 wpm.

EASY TO ATTACH YOUR IPAD. Because the iPad gets slipped snugly into two precisely engineered corners, versus into an all-encompassing frame like the other keyboard covers, it's very easy to get it in and out.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING. Fast and easy.

VERY COOL LOOK. I have the gray version and it's really slick looking.

Cons:

ISSUE WITH CLOSING LID NOT LOCKING THE IPAD. Initially, I thought this keyboard cover had a design flaw because I tried two of them and both did not lock the the iPad, unless you jiggled it around. However, I lucked out on the 3rd one which locks the iPad ever time. So Logitech seems to have a quality control problem, not a problem with the inherent design.

On this note, you may wonder why I deducted no stars. The reason is that, as a whole, this product so devastatingly outperforms every other iPad case I've owned, I cannot justify a downgrade. I have given 2 of the 4 cases I previously reviewed 5 stars. And this one is better than both of those.

Doesn't live up to its awesome looks.
By Joseph Zapert
I wanted to love this mouse. It looks great, is sleek and, because of its slender profile, slips easily into netbook sleeves. The touch surface is silky, but its looks set higher expectations than it can meet.

The particular shape ends up being uncomfortable. I'm a guy, but I'd say my hand size is average. My ring finger grips the thin, metal edge and this is a slightly-uncomfortable feeling that gets more annoying over time.

The click functions require more force than they should. Because of this, right-clicking is iffy. I'm a graphic designer and not an unskilled user, however I find myself left-clicking accidentally a lot. I also wish I could just lightly tap the surface to click, since the mouse has so many other touch gestures. That would help a lot.

Forget about soft surfaces. It's absolutely impossible, because clicking requires so much force. No mouseing on the couch or bed with this.

Touch gestures are iffy. Scrolling responds right away every time, which is nice, but there's little accuracy and it's hard to control the speed. Windows 8 edge swipes are okay, but require you to be careful to keep the mouse stationery while you swipe and that's not all that easy.

So sadly this awesome-looking mouse is going back. Maybe a really casual user, who never wants to use a soft surface, would appreciate it more.

My new favorite mobile mouse!
By SPC Jung H. Choi
I purchased this mouse to replace the t620. When I purchased my Samsung Ativ 8, I was specifically looking for a bluetooth mouse but I tried several but ended up returning them back to the stores because they did not fit the bill for one reason or another. Some models I tested out were Razer Orochi, MS scuplt comfort, logitech V470, and the MS wedge. I was not pleased with any of them so I settled on the Logitech t620 which is not bluetooth. The t620 was quite neat with the touch gesture interface but it too did not quite fit the bill either. I was getting ready to replace the t620 with another g700 until I saw this mouse advertised on the Logitech website.

Three things quickly drew me to try this mouse: 1. Bluetooth connectivity 2. Gesture control like the t620 3. Its compactness. I've put this mouse hard to work for the last three days and it has definitly kept up with me. On a full charge, it lasted my entire 12 hour workday although the battery level showed at the half way mark at the end of the day. The good news is that from that point, it only takes about 5 minutes to fully charge the little thing. The quick charge is a good thing because you cannot use the mouse as it is charging like my g700. At worst case, I can fully charge this thing during a coffee or a bathroom break.

As far as asthetics and ergonomics, this mouse definitely requires some getting used to. This mouse combines metal and matte plastic top which gives it the look and feel of a much higher quality mouse versus the clunky cheap feel of the t620. I was already familiar with the gesture controls from my last mouse so that was no big issue there. One of the best features on this little thing is it's ability to be paired with two different devices and swith between them on the fly! How cool is that? One for my laptop, the other for my Note 10.1 tab.

In summary, for those of you out there who are gadget geeks like me and have to have the latest and greatest, this mouse definitly needs to be in you collection. I guarantee it will be a conversation piece in your office.

A mouse that's truly an asset to the mobile work environment
By MChen
All in all, I highly recommend this mouse for all 'on-the-go' laptop users (both mac and pc loyalists) who are looking for a reliable, well built, ultra-portable mouse -with the added bonus of being able to control their two most-used bluetooth devices at a flick of a switch. I've owned this mouse for nearly 3 months now and think that its size and shape are perfect for my move-around work needs and the battery longevity allows me to worry less about accidentally running out of juice after forgetting to replace(in this case charge) the battery. As for comfort, Logitech did a great job focusing on the needs of the intended consumer demographic and created an 'ultra-thin' form factor geared for those who value portability over comfort...not for photoshop editors who really should stick with an ergo mouse meant for comfortable desk use.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those worried about the lower ratings stating functionality problems continue reading below, as I've seen that a majority of them are a result of poor pre-purchase research, a failure to follow the included directions, or simply thinking a new mouse should adapt to them rather than vice-versa.

From what I'm seeing about other users having line-by-line scrolling issues, horizontal scrolling issues, and touch functionality problems it is obvious to me that they ignored reading the instructions and did not install the Logitech Setpoint software.

Speed of scrolling is set standard to 3-lines. As a result the scrolling tends not to be as fluid as most people are used to when switching from an analog scroll wheel. This can easily be adjusted by changing the settings to the 1-line option under scroll settings. Inertial scrolling( what you experience with swiping on a touch device) is enabled as a default but can also be disabled if you wish/are used to using larger finger motions. As for touch functionality, I was also a little irked at first being unable to horizontally scroll while on an web browser but later realized that I also overlooked disabling the option that limits single finger horizontal touch to only browser back/forwards when on a web browser. I disabled this and can now easily horizontally scroll at all times with one finger touch and browser back/forward with two fingers.

Hope this over the top review shows how much this mouse has added to my mobile work, and as a result made me absolutely satisfied with this product.

Simple, Yet Effective
By Michael A. Henthorne
Every time I shop for a new mouse for myself I consider many different things, motion sensing system, clickability, reliability of the manufacturer, and of course special features. I for one have ALWAYS bought Logitech mice. They are a trusted manufacturer of peripherals and to be honest, they are some of the toughest pieces of hardware I have seen out there.

I recently decided to switch out my old mouse and replace it with an optical mouse. Looking through the vast selection of mice on Amazon I was a little overwhelmed, especially being a gamer (I thought of maybe getting a 'gaming mouse'), I found many different types of mice with a wide array of special features. What it finally came down to for me was this, I wanted a simple mouse that I could hook up to my laptop and use it without worrying about drivers or special software, and if I lost it for some reason it would be inexpensive to replace. I came upon this model and after a short time I put in the order to purchase one and am very satisfied with the performance and reliability. Definitely worth every penny (Not that it is that much to begin with =D)

Great mouse for a small price!
By Eriknl
I chose this mouse for my laptop because it is cheap and it has good reviews. I like how it feels in my hand. It works very accurately and the pointer is not jumpy. Unbelievable that they can make this for $8.00! I enthusiastically recommend this mouse to anyone who needs a replacement.

Great basic mouse.
By Robert A Brookshire
Purchased: Logitech B100
Received: Logitech B100
Seller: Amazon
Review updated: May 17, 2011

Pros:
+ great price
+ smooth cursor movement, good button action

Cons:
- thin cable, but not really a problem unless it fails
- cheap-feeling scroll wheel, (ditto)

Details:
I purchased two of these mice for something less than ten bank notes apiece; one for my father and the other for a neighbor. This is a basic USB mouse with scroll wheel and middle button. It plug-n-played just fine under Windows XP and seems to work quite nicely. Other reviewers have criticized the light weight of the mouse, but I've come across even lighter mice and found that the B100 was not at all annoying to use. The weight seems perfect to me and comparable with other mice of this size. Some people have reported that this mouse is too small, but I found it normal in this regard and it fits my hand quite well. I think that almost all available mice are too small for long-term comfort. The only exceptions are insanely expensive. The B100 is certainly average in this regard.

Long ago, I used Microsoft mice exclusively, but switched to Logitech as I found that their scroll wheels and middle buttons tended to work much better. The Microsoft mice I've owned have always middle-clicked so easily that I had to disable the middle button entirely. The middle button on the B100 clicks just the way I like it (better than some more expensive mice) and I'm entirely happy with all the buttons so far.

However, the B100 does have one area where the low price shows: the scroll wheel. The scrolling action works fine, but the wheel clicks rather "cheaply" and loudly. This won't be a problem for me, but I wanted to mention that this is the only thing on the mouse that seems of low quality. The mouse feels find in the hand, the pointer moves smoothly and accurately, and the buttons click perfectly, but the scrolling action feels and sounds rather hollow. Other reviewers have suggested that this mouse may not last forever and I will report back with any durability issues if they arise. At first glance, however, the mouse is better than I expected at this price and suspect it will be fine for most users.

Best Keyboard for multiple OSX/iOS devices
By USB Cords
Let me start by saying that I've used the apple bluetooth keyboard for about three years now, and after much thought, I decided to give this keyboard a shot. The reason for the switch was due to a few annoyances with the Apple bluetooth keyboard. I was considering buying the Logitech K750, but when I heard that a newer model was coming out with some new features I decided to wait for it. Now that I've used it I'm definitely glad I waited. I'll try to break down in detail some of the best features of the keyboard that I find most appealing.

Easy Switching - In a nutshell, you can pair this keyboard to up to three devices at once, and switch between them with the click of a button. I only tested this with my Mac and my iPhone, but it was worked flawlessly so far. There's a bluetooth button on the back of the keyboard that will let you choose which key you want to pair your device with, and once it's paired you can go from typing on a computer to typing on your iPhone in about 7-8 seconds. With the Apple bluetooth keyboard it was a hassle switching between devices since you had to disconnect/reconnect each device if you wanted to switch. I don't really have a reason to use a keyboard with my iPhone and I assume it would be much better with an iPad, but it is pretty neat having the ability to type on it if i wanted.

Design - I was a bit skeptical about switching from Apple hardware to Logitech hardware. Let's be honest, Apple makes very good looking products. The thing that i was most worried about was the fact that this keyboard was plastic. I liked the feel of the aluminum with the Apple keyboard, but after using this keyboard for about a week, I have to say that I don't notice ANY difference in quality. This keyboard is built extremely well and feels very solid as you type. I find the keys to be a bit deeper than on the Apple keyboard, which I really like. The layout is identical to the Apple keyboard, except for a few buttons up top. There is now a mission control and launchpad button, as well as the three bluetooth buttons. Also, the screen brightness is moved to the F6 and F7 keys that were previously black on the Apple keyboard (they are used for the backlit keyboard brightness on most mac laptops).

Solar Charging - I've only used this keyboard for 5-6 days so far, but ever since it was taken out of the packaging and paired up to the Logitech Control Center Software, the charge hasn't dropped below 100%. If you're thinking this keyboard requires direct sunlight to efficiently charge then you're wrong. A small desk lamp or a slightly lit room is enough to keep it charged. My keyboard sits about 15 feet away from a window with closed curtains and it still manages to keep a charge. I would even imagine the backlight from a bright computer/tv screen might even charge the keyboard in a completely dark room. It seems this will solve the battery problem with the Apple keyboard, which was going though about 3 AA batteries a month.

Now for a few negatives about this keyboard. Most of them are small nitpicks, that might not be a problem for most people but they still manage to annoy me.

The first problem that I noticed was that the caps lock light doesn't stay lit when you click it. When you turn caps lock on it will light up for 2 seconds and then turn back off. I've often found myself typing out a sentence or two before realizing it was on the whole time. (I should probably look up more when I type I guess lol).

There is a few workarounds to this problem though. The Logitech Control Center Software has two options for caps lock. You can either have a small icon come up in the menu bar when the caps lock is on, or you can have notifications pop up on the screen, similar to the ones that would come up when you change the volume. I never really look up into the menu bar unless I'm checking the time, and I really don't like the pop up notifications either, so I turned them both off, but I do appreciate the options. I don't know how much the light would drain the battery if it were to stay on, and I assume that's why logitech didn't want it staying on, but oh well. I'll deal with it.

The other problems I noticed was that the mission control and launchpad buttons didn't work out of the box. I was able to add a keyboard shortcut for the mission control key, but I can't pair anything to the launchpad key at all. I looked up the problem on logitech's website, and I still haven't found a solution that worked.

The last thing that annoys me about this keyboard is that there's no previous/next keys. On the Apple keyboard they are on opposite sides of the play/pause button, but on this keyboard they aren't there. I usually listen to music when I type papers and I've grown used to changing songs with those keys. The play/pause button is there, but unfortunately the previous/next keys aren't.

Those are a few minor nitpicks about the keyboard. Nothing too serious, and nothing that would deter me from using it. The pros definitely outweigh the cons.

If you're looking for a keyboard that you would use for a Mac or possibly an iPad then you should definitely consider this keyboard. It offers the most bang for your buck, and is essentially an Apple bluetooth keyboard with more features. I know that people are attracted to the Apple keyboard because of its nice design, but this keyboard is just as beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with it. A very wise buy for sure.

EDIT

As of January 23rd, 2013, the power in the keyboard has still never dipped below 99%, and I still only have a small lamp and the light from my computer as a light source.

I have also purchased an iPad and an iPad mini, and I find myself switching between these devices quite often. This is where the keyboard really shines since it is super easy to pair and switch between devices. Within 3 seconds the keyboard is paired with the iPad and is ready to type, and with the click of one button, the keyboard can be easily switched back to my Mac.

Overall I am still very happy with my purchase, and still believe that this is the best bluetooth keyboard you can buy, especially if you ever plan on pairing it to multiple devices.

A Good Solution for Those with Multiple IOS Devices
By metamorphis8
I have been using this keyboard for about a week, so my impressions are based on that usage.

First, and foremost, the utility of this keyboard is its ability to seamlessly transition between up to three devices, whether it be a computer (Mac) and/or IOS devices like an Ipad and an IPhone. Prior to this keyboard, I used the Apple Bluetooth keyboard for typing on my IOS devices, There are two large drawbacks with the Apple board. First, the thing sucks batteries, and even with rechargeable ones, unless you have a spare set handy, the keyboard stops working in the most inopportune of places. Second, when paired with an IOS device, you have to manually disconnect it in order to use the built in keyboard, then once disconnected, have to reconnect it once more. If you are moving between apps, one of which needs keyboard input and others which do not, this manual coupling and decoupling-at least for me-was sufficient to not use a keyboard at all for input. This device solves that minor dilemma admirably. Once connected, a simple keystroke automatically couples and decouples the keyboard between the three devices paired. A blue light displays which of the three devices one is using, and it seamlessly transitions between devices with no more than a keystroke. For this feature alone the keyboard might be worth the cost. Add in the solar recharging, and it is that much more appealing.

I deducted two stars because the typing dynamics of the keyboard are quite poor. I am a writer so I spend a significant amount of time using the keyboard where feel and touch are important. The keys lack tactile feel, even more so than Apple's keyboard which I already thought was mediocre at best. The keys are quite noisy, and make a loud clacking when typing. They feel loose and insubstantial, and do not fit the fingers well. The advertised concavity of the keys is hardly present, they are nearly flat, and my fingers are constantly slipping off the keys. Compared to the desktop versions of Logitech keyboards which offer a very nice typing experience, this keyboard should have a been a lot better. I do not recommend it for those who type a significant amount of text or need the feel of a better keyboard. The build quality is not up to Apple's keyboard, but it seems reasonably well built. That said, it comes without a case and nothing to protect the solar panel, so expect to see wear from this plastic device it if you're moving around with it.

In the end. the muli-device functionality and solar capabilities are great features. The typing experience, however, leaves a great deal to be desired. This is essentially a somewhat expensive device for sending short emails, texts and tweets.

Really amazing little power house of keyboard...
By thaddeushunt
For the last few years, I have been using my ever-faithful Apple bluetooth keyboard for my wireless keyboard needs (Laptop, iPad, iPhone, Mac Mini, you name it...). I chose it for the following reasons:

1. It's got a good form factor
2. It is ruggedly built (I have dropped it several times and it has kept ticking without a hitch).
3. Despite it's form factor it has got a full size layout for its keys (sans number pad). Which is always important. I hate feeling cramped while typing.
4. It pairs relatively easily with devices and the Mac-specific hotkeys at the top are quite quite handy (particularly when used with the iPad)
5. It's easy to grab and slide into my bag when I need to just go.

But, that all said, there are a few drawbacks. Small stuff mostly, but chief amongst them is the Apple keyboard's need of batteries to function and it's ability to have it's bluetooth connection turned on by accident (draining the batteries of both your device and the keyboard) if the large button on its side gets touched by a feather.

Both of these issues caused me to reevaluate my selection of a keyboard and at least start to research what is out there nowadays for alternative options. Suffice it to say, I found a lot!

The best options built specifically for the Mac, that weren't built by Apple, seemed to be offered by Logitech. They have a great selection with a lot of options, but in the end I settled on their series of solar powered keyboards. They support all of the current Apple command key shortcuts, have zero need for batteries (fully charged, it can be used for three continuous months in complete darkness) and, in the case of the travel version, they have the ability to hot swap between multiple bluetooth devices. Which is handy if you need to quickly disconnect from one device and quickly pair with another (from an iPad to a desktop, for instance).

Here are the two I went with: For the iPad I went with the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760

And for the Mac Mini I splurged and snagged the full sized Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac®

They both perform easily as well as their Apple manufactured counterparts and while they don't feel as well built as Apple's aluminum keyboards, they by no means feel cheap in any way.

Function-wise, they both have worked flawlessly. I love that the hotkeys (the "F" keys) that are in the top row of the Apple keyboard, can all be found on the Logitechs (the media-based buttons work even on the iPad!). Also, eco-stance aside, I really love that I don't have to worry about having my rechargeable batteries around and charged up when my keyboard dies. The solar cell at the top, does change the footprint (and the aesthetic if that's important to you) obviously, making the keyboard, in both cases, taller. But the exchange for battery life and the simple convenience of putting it in any kind of light to recharge it, definitely trumps these quibbles for me.

The bluetooth hot swapping on the K760? It works as advertised and is pretty damn amazing! Once paired up (easy to do as well) I was swapping between my iPad, iPhone and Macbook with a simple keystroke. It's fast and way more convenient than I originally anticipated. Definitely not a gimmicky feature! It is the real deal and quite helpful.

One odd difference between the two? The K760 keys are WAY more "clicky" than the K750. So if you are into that, or are obsessive about stealth typing, than you may want to take a note of this. I noticed it right away.

Lastly, the K750 comes with a free app you can snag from the Mac App Store that gives you real time info on your charge and the amount of light/solar energy your keyboard is currently receiving. Pretty neat to bring up and watch, not to mention handy if you need to know how much juice your keyboard currently has left. Again, it's only for K750, but it is well implemented on the Mac.

So if it wasn't clear enough yet, I will come out and say it: I am pretty smitten with these keyboards! I've used the K750 for a month now and the K760 for a little over week. They have not given me one bit of buyer's remorse. Quite the opposite actually. I wish more peripherals were made with this kind of utility and function.

Two thumbs up! Way up! Highly recommended!

Works great but needs software
By Erica Douglass
I lost the dongle to my Anywhere MX mouse (great mouse, by the way) in a move, and couldn't find it even after unpacking everything in my new house. So I bought this new one--cheaper than buying a new mouse!

It works great, but beware that you need to download the "Unifying" software from Logitech's website to get the receiver to "pair" with your mouse. This is easy, free, and painless, but it did catch me off guard for a second when I plugged it in and it didn't work right away! (This is on Windows 7 Pro.)

Fortunately the instruction manual was pretty clear, and the software was a quick download. After installing the software, it works perfectly.

I wish Amazon would stock these on Prime--I'm a little spoiled by Prime's fast shipping--but it still got to my house in less than a week.

Beware of use
By J. Eskew
My wife has two laptops, one for work, the other for personal use. She wanted to use the same keyboard & mouse (k/m) for both computers, using separate unifying receivers. This cannot be done; you cannot pair the same k/m with two different unifying receivers. I found this out after making my purchase, via an on line help video and of course I just had to try it myself. It just doesn't work. Now I have an extra receiver for that rainy day.

You'll need it for current Logitech wireless keyboards and pointing devices (Ubuntu-friendly too!)...
By 35-year Technology Consumer
If you have a current Logitech wireless keyboard, mouse or touchpad, this is the device that enables communication between your 'puter and the input device.

10 years ago the transceiver for wireless mice and keyboards was about the size of a travel mouse. Today, the unifying receiver (which is technically a transceiver) is barely bigger than the USB plug attached to it (total dimensions are about 3/4" x 1/2").

This will connect up to six compatible devices. It's small enough that I can leave it plugged into laptop all the time, and do so without worry of it snagging when taking the laptop in and out of its carry bag.

This also worked out of the box with Unbuntu (12.04 lTS) for controlling a Logitech T650 touchpad and a K360 wireless keyboard

No wires,less congestion around the motherboard's input/output zone, and no worries about where to place the transceiver. Very nice.
