  1. Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro on Ergonomic Keyboards · · Score: 1

    I've been using the Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro for about half a year now. It's a keyboard & mouse combo, both of which are wireless (by radio, so there's no need to aim at that pesky IR receiver).

    The keyboard's basically similar to the Microsoft Natural, but has a number of extra keys which can be used for various things (currently only in Windows, though I suppose one could manage some xmodmap trickery in X11 too). Its feel is quite light and not too noisy, bit similar to those better Mac keyboards. There's a detachable palm rest for those who use 'em.

    The mouse is quite similar to the normal Logitech 4-button wheel mouse, and may not be suitable for those of us equipped with smaller hands. It's one of those mice that need to be held with the entire hand, not just fingers so many people probably hate it.

    I was somewhat doubtful when I began using the keyboard/mouse combo, especially because they had changed the arrangement of the Ins/Del/etc key block (the arrow keys are however laid out as usual) but I got used to it pretty quickly. You don't know how much you hate the cords between the computer and the keyboard or mouse until you've used cordless ones for a while. Sincerely recommended, more so since it's not too expensive for a cordless setup.
