The speed you need. The control you crave. This is the only Cordless Desktop to feature the rechargeable MX Revolution hyper-fast scrolling laser mouse, and a dynamic keyboard display.

Summary: Very, very nice.
Comment: I got the MX5500 combo as an upgrade from a Microsoft Desktop Elite + separate MX5000 mouse. That custom combo really worked well for me...and now this!
Pros:
The Setpoint software (the latest edition) really shines. The customization with the mouse and/or keyboard has improved. THe kayboard has great features, like the multimedia keys, the LCD, and of course its sylish looks. Some people will disagree, but I think the muffled response of the keys is easy on the ears and the tactile response is very reassuring (no side-to-side wiggle of the keys is noticeable). It's really just personal opinion from one user to another, but I really love the feel of the keys.
The mouse...I don't know if there is any real bad attribute to speak of here. It charges insanely fast, it's stylish, it's highly functional and customizable through the software, the top scrolling wheel it simply awesome (if you don't know about the MX 5500 scrolling wheel, you need to google it, son), it's egronomic too.
Cons:
For the keyboard, it would be nice to have a backlight for the LCD to actually make use of it at night; otherwise, you'd better turn a light on in the room or something. The wrist pad easily shows palm moisture, but that's not too big a deal as it usually evaporates or you can just clean it off. As others have mentioned, I wish the keyboard had a power on/off switch to save batteries. And yes, keep a wired keyboard handy for those times you have to go into BIOS or something. Amazingly, that's about it.
For the mouse: Only fault I have is the side wheel kind of throws off the feel you have of the mouse. As comfortable as the mouse if to hold, I'm always wary about activating that side wheel, as it is an application switcher. I've actually grown into it though and it's not a real problem anymore.
Overall: I give this a 9/10. It's well worth it, especially now that prices are coming down for this particular setup. I got mine for a cool $85.00!

Summary: Very Happy!
Comment: Best praise I can give any product. Works as advertised. I had a M/S 6000 keyboard and mouse that I slowly came to hate so finally I couldn't stand it and bought this. Boy! What a differance. I play games and do lots of work on my computer and this combo can keep up with no sweat. I didn't think I would like Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (since I've had bad luck with that combo in the past) but this works great. I never lose my connection and can get into BIOS with no problems (a problem with some bluetooth combos). My only complaint is I cant make the keyboard display in military time even though the option is there. That's it, other than that I'm happy!

Summary: Not for Mac's
Comment: I have a Mac Mini with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I regularly switch between the Mac OS and Windows XP using Parallels Desktop. For this reason I prefer Windows rather than Mac keyboards. In the past I've used Logitech mice and have liked every one. At this point I wanted a cordless keyboard and mouse, so I turned to Logitech and decided to try the MX 5500 because I wanted to try Bluetooth and my prior experience with an MX mouse was excellent.
Logitech makes it clear at their web site that they don't recommend using this product for Mac. However, they don't support the Wave Pro for Mac, either, but if you read the comments here on Amazon there are many Mac user who find the Wave Pro works fine for them. Therefore, I decided to try this in spite of the lack of Logitech support.
The basic keyboard and mouse functions worked fine right out of the box. Because of this I can say this is a very high quality product, and for that reason I spent many hours trying to make the added features work on either or both the Mac and Windows OS on this Mac Duo. I failed. I downloaded the latest software for Mac and Windows from the Logitech site. I sent an e-mail to their support group; this was not very helpful. Finally I called their support group; this was VERY helpful. In the end, however, I had to send the product back.
A few of the special function keys work. It is possible to turn iTunes off/on and change the volume from the keyboard. The keyboard calculator works on both operating systems (i.e. calculations are visible in the LCD), but the keyboard was usable to enter numbers into Word or Excel documents only on the Mac side, not Windows. Only the right and left click and the scroll wheel worked on the mouse. The only other LCD function that worked was the temperature (always in centigrade). None of the other function buttons, such as insert, print screen, etc. seem to work.
Neither the LCC on Mac (with Windows completely turned off) or the Setpoint on Windows would recognize the keyboard or the mouse. I could connect using Bluetooth (e.g. everything showed up in System Profile) but neither keyboard or mouse showed up in the LCC and Setpoint. For this reason it was not possible to program or use the F buttons in any way.
In summary, I think this is probably an excellent product for Windows running on a PC, but it didn't meet my needs at the most rudimentary level for Mac alone or for Windows running on a Mac Intel Core 2 Duo.

Summary: Too expensive for the features
Comment: This product its nice, as a keyboard and mouse, they are ok, nice looking, some nice features, but the money, well the product is really overvalued, its no worthy unless you want to pay for the "brand" instead of a keyboard and mouse.

Summary: Works from anywhere in my house!
Comment: I had to move my office to make room for a baby's room, so I had to relocate my computer. I decided to put computer tower in my laundry room and then run SVGA monitor cables to my computer monitor and my 46 inch LCD TV. I was concerned that I would have problems with the keyboard and mouse because I have two walls between my 46" TV and the computer tower. I bought the MX5500 after reading one of the earlier reviews stating that the customer had no problems with walls interfering with them. I hooked up the keyboard and mouse (which is extremely simple) and tried it out. The keyboard and mouse work great. I have no problems with either of them and it is no different that using the connected keyboard and mouse. I tried the keyboard and mouse all over my house and found that it works anywhere. Thru walls, thru floors this product is great and works exactly like I wanted it. I would definately recommend this product to someone who wanted to place their computer tower in another room from the monitor.
