Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave

Rohan Naravane, Mar 24, 2008 1143 hrs IST

The keyboard impresses you with a wave of comfort and functionality but is the mouse falling behind?

Expert Rating:

Comfortable keyboard with ergonomic "wave" design, good set of one-touch hotkeys, Logitech SetPoint Software.

Expensive, mouse could have been lighter, one of the side buttons of the mouse not convenient to use.

EXPERT REVIEW

The keyboard has a host of shortcut buttons for instant access to frequently-used functions. The first four are Vista-specific functions, namely The Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, the Flip 3D button, and shortcut buttons to the Photo Gallery and Gadgets

Of these, I really liked the Zoom control buttons.

The Zoom control buttons let you instantly enlarge text in any application. I found this very nifty when I was using the computer from a distance. The only issue I had with them was that the zooming-sensitivity was a bit high.

The multimedia buttons, the master volume control, and the mute button. Next to them are the shortcut keys to launch the default media player and Windows Media Center

The function keys can be configured to access your favorite apps. The right end also has a calculator and Standby/Power-off shortcut keys.

All the function keys (the defined and the undefined) are customizable using the SetPoint software, which makes the keyboard that much more usable.

At the back is the slot for two AA batteries, a connect button, and two levels of tilting stands

most comfortable ever - try the microsot ergonomic 4000, nothing beats it. also if u want the fastest one - try Razer Lycossa, 100% increase in type speed and is the only Flat keyboard i have ever liked. i persnoally own both, after trying and returning many other including this one, that its undoubtedly the best out there. also ergonomics and design should be talked about in the keyboard section. also talk about the Macros, and key sensitivity and range of the keyboard (since wireless)
