Agree! I am considering changing to a wired keyboard. But I really like the wireless mouse. |

So, I'm looking for either a new wireless mouse with charger or a new keyboard/mouse set.
Suggestions? I'm going to be buying in the next week or so. |
EC,
I have a 501 (same as LX500) and have 4- 1 hour charge batteries (because of the battery eater mouse)
other than that the mouse seems fine, the keyboard (which goes for most of a year on a pair of alklines) I don't really love, due to the key action (requires almost straight up-down typing, keys struck at an angle sometimes don't register)
Anyway I think this model was not logi's best effort (cheap, almost "cheesie"  )
I'm thinking the Logitech G7 or MX1000 would work, but some of the MS model aren't bad.
a wired version with a couple upright USB ports on the top edge would be nice for flash drive use. |

I recently traded in my Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse for a Logitech G5 Mouse and Saitek Eclipse Keyboard. They seem to be working quite well. The keyboard feels very solid and the mouse is amazing. It comes with a tin of weights that you can put in it to adjust it's weight. I also like the light texturing an the sides of the mouse and the 5 different DPI settings. 1600 DPI seems to work great for me.
They aren't wireless, but they don't have batteries to change either.
