Advantages: cordless so no wires

Disadvantages: batteries don't last long

I bought this set to replace a previous Logitech set that had stopped working. Managed to pick it up quite cheap from PC World. It is easy to set up, just plug in and away you go, or you can install the software that comes with it if you wish to change some of the one touch key functions. It comes supplied with batteries but I found that these didn't last too long. I have always had cordless sets due to fact that my PC isn't set up for wired keyboard or mouse. It has one touch buttons on it which are great - volume up and down, mute, email, internet, calculator, also buttons to work media player (play, stop, forward, reverse) are all along the top of the keyboard. At the left side of the keyboard there is a back button and a button which I wasn't sure about but I soon discovered that it closed programs down when my young grandson pressed it (I disabled this button). In all it is a pretty good set and good value for money. My only concern is that I am continually having to replace the batteries. I did try rechargable ones but it didn't work properly when I did this, was later told that rechargable batteries don't have the same power in them as alkaline batteries which is why you are advised not to use them. I have yet to find batteries that have given me a decent usage so I am seriously considering a usb keyboard and mouse.

Summary: good value if you can find batteries with a decent lifespan
