Review Summary

The Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave is a wireless mouse and keyboard combination for both Windows and Mac using a USB connection. The Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave is no doubt an irresistible design that will make a stylish addition to the desktop. The mouse is a mid-sized mouse shaped nicely to fit the hand and keep it comfortable. Whereas, the keyboard is a bit larger than normal and includes a built-in palm rest and number pad on the side. The “wave keys" are contoured, meaning some keys are higher than others, designed to fit better and naturally to the busy fingers. The keyboard also includes many additional buttons programmed for media functions (play, volume), and has a channel on the underside that keeps headphone cords out of the way. The installation is absolutely simple and user friendly. However, the arrangement of the paging keys frustrates some users, though, as some rather have the standard 3x2 configuration. Some users also think the Application switcher key is useless since the Alt+Tab does the same thing and is more reachable instead. The State LEDs is also awkwardly positioned below Number pad. Many sites such as Thinkcomputers.org give it an above average rating, stating that it represents good value for money. However, it is mostly recommended for business applications and not gaming though.
