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.

  1. Logitech Wave Keyboard

    Perhaps even more so than mice, keyboards can be a deeply personal thing. Once you've found a keyboard you like it's hard when you have to use a different one. For example, until Logitech's Wave Keyboard landed on my desk I was still using a clackity old Microsoft PS/2 keyboard and loved it to bits. Likewise, recently one of our old staffers asked to have his old favourite keyboard, which was buried in one of our bottomless cupboards, shipped to him in Taiwan. Read more

    The Cordless Desktop Wave is a mid-range set. Because of its specific shape, it may not be suited to everybody. The “pro” version of the Wave set comes with a much better mouse. Read more

    The minute i tried out the Wave at my local bestbuy I was sold, bought one on the spot, and never looked back. I love the way the keys form a wave which improves ergonomics without having to split the keys in half. Can barely type on regular keyboards now. Read more

  2. Keyboard great--Mouse terrible

    Originally the mouse didn't work at all correctly at any range. I thought maybe it was the batteries so I put some new ones in with no improvement. I installed the software and it downloaded an update. This made the mouse work all right within a range of 4' but will not work at all past that. So, I had to return the set. I've read other reviews that lead me to believe that the mouse in every set has a short range such as this. Read more

    I purchased this keyboard in August 09 and I'm already looking for a replacement. The shift key sometimes stops responding when I hold it down, which is a problem while playing Champions Online. I also run into issues where the ALT key will suddenly register as being pressed. Read more

    Wonderful keyboard, extremely customizable: highly recommended. I play games (For that I have my Fang), do a lot of typing and work in 3ds Max 2009 I find it great for all. Although if you play A LOT of games i still suggest getting a dedicated gaming pad such as the Ideazon Fang Read more

    I actually have the bundle that had the mouse aswell, and this was the keyboard that came in the bundle. Now theres many types of keyboards out there, and in my opinion this was kind of a new idea - the wave concept. Before i mention anything, wave keyboards are curved inwards. Now the keyboards doesn't have a big curve inwards. The reason is it more egonomical and easier to type! If your scared you wont get used to it, then take it from me, theres not that much to get...
