| The remote function was too good. it was like watching a TV and whenever needed to pause the movie and have a slideshow on the photos . all these are possible because of the windows media center 10 combined with the remote control.
The Keyboard is the lightest one i had in my life. and i liked all the function buttons included. just started playing with the keyboard mouse and the remote.
Needs 70-90 MB on your hard drive to install the Logitech software. but for the performance ...great!!!!!
| | These keyboards are WATERPROOF. |
| These keyboards are waterproof. Its a little known fact about the S510 keyboards, and if you do a search on the internet, you will find that apparently nobody else knows about it.
These keyboards have "drain holes" in them. When you spill a liquid on top of them, it automatically poors thru the drain holes. I count a total of 6 drain holes on my S510 keyboard. No matter where you spill something on it, there is a nearby drain hole. It is almost impossible to damage these keyboards by spilling something on them. I once accidentally tripped while carrying a pitcher of ice tea to my desk, and I spilled half the pitcher on it, and I was able to immediately start typing on the keyboard like nothing happened. This is actually the feature I like the most about this keyboard. In the past, I have had keyboards die time and again. I had keyboards die just from the process of cleaning them, when two little tiny drops of cleaning fluid went inside. Just two drops. Over the years I have seen nothing but poorly constructed keyboards with exposed wires and connections, that even the tiniest drop of liquid would damage.
This Logitech keyboard is very well made and is totally waterproof. I give it a rating of 5 stars on quality of construction.
But as far as being comfortable to use, I only rate it as 3 stars. The unremovable arm rest is a pain, and makes it a bit uncomfortable to use. If it wasn't for the fact of the unremovable arm rest, then I would of rated this a 5 stars. Its ashame that Logitech has to "force" the users to use an arm rest on this keyboard, whether they like it or not.
So I averaged the rating of 5 stars for construction and 3 stars for being a bit uncomfortable to use, and came up with a total rating of 4 stars.
| | This replaced a Dell cordless keyboard and mouse that never worked right for me. The mouse was unpredictable, and the keyboard and my hands never got along.
This keyboard works very well for me and I have very large hands. It works well for my wife, and she has small hands.
The mouse is flawless.
I like the fact that the keyboard takes up less desk space than most keyboards and the receiver is quite small as well, further saving on desk space.
When I travel I can take the receiver and plug it in to my lap top and use the mouse with my lap top. It is a really clever design.
the remote works well, if somewhat slowly.
The software displays the volume setting or other actions on your screen briefly, a nice touch.
It is a good key board, a better mouse and to me this equals the best.
| | Pros:
- great value for money
- the media buttons are very useful, and is compatible with iTunes. You have to install the Logitech software though.
- works without installing any software from Logitech. Some functions like Media buttons won't work though.
- Nice build, very sleek design.
Cons:
- No LEDs to indicate whether Caps lock, scroll lock, or Num Lock is on.
- The special "F" key is sticky, just like the Caps lock key. There are times when I would press the F2 button to rename a file, and it brings up MS Word instead. What's worse is that there is no LED to inform you if the "F" key is on. You will only know by pressing it, then the key's status will be displayed on your monitor. They should've made this key non-sticky just like the Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys.
- The layout of the Home, end, Delete, Page Up, and Page Down buttons take getting used to.
- Mouse is sleek, but nothing extra ordinary. You get two buttons, and one scroll wheel.
| | I bought this for the keyboard alone,I am known for abusing electronics, and sadly my laptop's keyboard is about to give up the ghost after me beating the living hell out of it :)
The keyboard Layout is great, there's some room for improvement though,as Logitech got creative and added a non standard Page up and Page down,which takes time getting used too, and at the same time added a huge Delete key, which takes no time getting used to and should be the new standard.
The action is o so sweet, clicky but not annoying bouncy but firm, I prefer it to the more expensive di novo.
The keyboard also has more buttons and functions than you'll ever use, good sleek looks and a great palm rest.
The mouse is ok, but nothing out of the ordinary.
The remote steals the show,and if you like watching movies,pictures or do a lot of presentations it is a godsend.
So whats wrong ?,Wireless Reception seems to be line of sight, the multimedia software is not that good,(although the configuration utility is top notch) and the function keys are a bit too thin for my liking, but for the price is hard to find a better desktop.
If you are thinking about buying this, do it, its well worth its price.
