Advantages: Nice keyboard, good styling, comfortable to use

Disadvantages: Not so good mouse, yellowing after one year

On my iMac it was a really difficult decision to try a different keyboard, as I realy love the low profile aluminum one from Apple. However, my past experience and current use of a Logitech mouse (VX Nano) on my MacBook steered me in this direction. I picked mine up locally for under £50 and it certainly looks nice when set up on my desk.

The keyboard is very low profile, with a nice layout and extra shortcut keys along the sides. A full set of function keys go across the top, plus there is a numeric keypad to the side. The keys have just the right amount of travel and is very comfortable to use for extended periods of typing. The mouse is less impressive, it has slightly too much curve in it. Plus the left and right buttons feel a little too flimsy. Battery life is OK, with three months use the keyboard ran out of juice, with the mouse lasting an extra two weeks.

After almost a year of use I went back to my Apple keyboard. It felt nicer to type on. Plus, the Logitech one had started to turn yellow, which they did sort out for me, so top marks for customer service, but a shame it happened in the first place.

Summary: Lost a star due to it turning yellow
