and was somewhat disappointed in it. The mouse ATE batteries like (insert analogy here). The keyboard was great for the first few months... then the wasd keys would stick because I played quake and stuff fairly often.. I'd have to repress them to get it to stop moving.
After 2 years all hell broke loose. My keyboard would not recognize certain keys unless I pressed another key right before or along with it. Then a couple weeks later it would double or triple press them on the rare occasions that it did recognize it.
So... it's still under a 3 year warranty, so I check buy.com for their return policy.. over 30 days you contact manufacturer. Ok sounds good, I call up Logitech and they ask me for the serial number on the bottom of the keyboard. I turn it over and look.. it was never printed there. SOO Logitech tells me to get lost, they can't replace the keyboard w/out a serial number... they say because they can't verify that its under warranty.. but when I explain that they only started making them 2 years ago and the warranty is for 3.. they guy tells me they can't verify that they even made it! I had the original packaging and everything, but they wouldnt replace it. They said I had to call buy.com because it was their fault it wasn't on there (even though it was in unopened retail packaging when I received it).
Buy.com said Logitech lost their mind, but thankfully they had mercy on me, and sold me the new model keyboard (with fancy lil iTouch buttons), at a vastly reduced price with free overnight shipping. I can tell just by holding it that the keyboard is much higher quality (I stopped using the mouse when the Intellimous Explorer came out btw), and it even has a 5 year warranty (and a serial no.) so if it breaks again.. I will make sure I get it replaced. Ok I'm done rambling;)
but I really like Amazon.com. I don't approve of their patenting the one-click stuff but it isn't enough for me to stop using them or anything. I have spent over $3,000 there over the past 2 years, and have never received any emails from them aside from my order processing emails. You possibly checked something, I dunno. That does sound pretty crappy that it was that difficult to remove yourself from their lists though.. I never have the problem of forgetting passwords though so maybe thats why =P Ok thats my two cents for now.
