 Great keyboard/mouse combo. Some annoyances. |
| Review Date: May 23, 2007 |

The Logitech MX 3200 Cordless Desktop is a very nice keyboard plus mouse combo that is much sturdier and refined than prior mainstream desktop combos from Logitech.
The keyboard battery claims of eighteen months, time/month display on the keyboard, sleep and calculator shortcut keys, and touch-sensitive scroll bar on the keyboard are small, but collectively great appointments.
Away goes the recharging mouse cradle of my trusty MX 700, leaving a USB radio no bigger than a flash memory stick. The mouse ergonomics feel comfortable even for large hands like mine. The mouse also comes in a left-handed version, which is great if you suffer from RSI and need to switch hands often.
Pros
* Virtually silent typing. The keys landing is soft and the click muted.
* The ergonomics are great. The palm rest slopes at the base of the hand, so no pressure on the bony part between the hand and wrist.
* Large surface keys. The edge is also raise slightly, and towards the sides rather than towards the typist. Typing lands on the key center every time for me, where other keyboards tend to hit the edge raised instead.
* Shorter keys travel. Not quite scissor (laptop) keys, but very good for a standard keyboard.
* Multimedia buttons work in Windows XP without installing additional software. This is great at work as most companies do not allow installing non-approved software.
* Time and date display on the keyboard is convenient.
Cons
* The Escape key is small, and so are the function keys. They are half the standard height.
* The Delete key is over-sized, and the Insert key is next to F12. Ditto if you are acostumed to copy/paste text using Ctrl/Shift plus Insert.
* Lefty beware: Location of scroll strip. This is the keyboard equivalent of the scroll wheel on the mouse is at the left spine of the keyboard. If you are lefty or switch hands, and rest your hand on the edge of the keyboard when not mousing, get ready to watch the screen scroll when least expected.
* Time and date display readable only (about forty-five degrees viewing angle) in front of the keyboard.
One additional note is that Logitech stands behind their products. This set replaces my defective four-year old MX Duo, and the company sent me a brand new set.
Four stars for the product, plus one for great Logitech Support. Recommended. |

I'm typing on the keyboard right now, it's great. The keyboard doesn't "lag" and the mouse is superb. Its light and sharp. I've only had it for a shot time, but I haven't had a single problem yet. The key design is fluid and "futuristic" so it takes a while to get used to typing on it, but once you do, it becomes much easier. I haven't installed the drivers, so I can't speak for any extra features.
The LCD may be a bother to some, and useful to others. For me, it's unnecessary but not a problem. The F-keys and other extra buttons, on top, are a little small but again, not a problem. My previous set war a Microsoft Desktop Elite, so this is an improvement. I used the mouse that came with this keyboard for a while, but I already have a Logiteck MX 1000 Cordless Mouse so I keep it as a backup. The mouse that comes with the keyboard is good for moderate web-surfing but not that good for gaming.
Overall Keyboard 9/10
-Excellent functionality!
-Looks nice
- No problems whatsoever (with function)
-Some keys are just too small
-No need for the LCD
-Side "zoom" is responsive but not very helpful
Mouse 7/10
-Good, light design
-Good battery life
-Not very good for gaming |
No problems with Vista here...

I needed a cordless keyboard mouse combo for my Vista powered laptop and saw this on sale at a local retail store. My advice to those buying this product is not to install the software that came with it. Download the latest version of the Setpoint driver (v 3.3 as of this writing) off Logitech's website and install that instead.
The driver allows keys to be remapped to use other than the default settings if you want to customize these. The keyboard feels rubbery at first but I gotten used to it after a few days and I now prefer it. The mouse feels better, works smoother compared to the wireless Microsoft Optical 5000 I have been using on my desktop. I prefer the Logitech's mice scroll wheel operation... you can feel the clicks when you scroll the wheel as opposed to the smooth scrolling of Microsoft's. |
Excellent Keyboard and Mouse Worth the Money!

I have had this mouse and keyboard, working on my new Vista (That's right folks!) system for about three weeks now. They work excellently, form typing reports and emails, to playing intense video games. The range is decent, the extra keyboard functions are actually quite useful once you get used to them and the layout is aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention the keyboard keys are both extremely responsive, quiet, and comfortable - in addition to being customizable.
Vista auto-installed to working capacity, specific drivers were easily installed to allow for use of advanced features and customization. The battery life seems good so far.
Three months later the batters that were supplied with the original unit are giving out in the mouse. At issue is the fact that the "Critical Battery Level" warning doesn't appear to be particularly critical so much as extremely annoying. A red light pulses on top of the mouse and at random times a messages pops up from the taskbar, above a consistently appearing battery low icon. Needless to say, while batter life still seems to be good (I have yet to replace them - just ignoring the warnings for now) yet at the same time the mouse has no idea what the battery life is or will be and becomes an unreliable nuisance. |
Full of Functionality, Feels Good on Your Fingers

I purchased the MX3200 keyboard/mouse combo as a replacement for my older Logitech Keyboard Duo, about 8 years old, and the MX3200 seems light years ahead of that model. The keys are much smoother and softer on your fingers. There a many specialized keys on this keyboard and I find that if you take the time to learn them, they can save a lot of extra mouse work on your part. I especially like the little "X" key on the left hand side of the keyboard, next to the search and "document flip" keys, which acts to close the top window that is open on your desktop. The document flip key, as it is called, let's you instantly switch which of your software applications are on top and it's useful.
No doubt, it takes a little time to get used to the enlarged delete key above the cursor keys. But the overall keyboard layout is sensible and natural. The programmable function keys are about half the size of previous keyboards but they are functional. The little volume and play/stop keys at the top are really small but I've gotten used to them. Now about the built-in clock: I've read a lot of complaints that it isn't backlit. I think a backlit clock would use more battery life. Personally, I like it the way it is: it is visible from a standard typing position but not too apparent. It blends in with the black color of the keyboard. Who wants to look at a clock all the time anyway? Sure it could have some more functionality, but then you would staring at the keyboard all the time which isn't where your eyes are pointed when you type.
The dynamic search and zoom slider on the left is a new feature and potentially useful but takes some getting used to. The VoIP button on the lower right is a nice feature that I use often. You can answer or hang-up your internet phone right from the keyboard. The wrist-rest has a soft, rubberized feel and is apparently made with anti-bacterial silver crystals as is the rest of the keyboard and the mouse surface.
There are no caps/num lock lights on the keyboard itself, but this information shows up on-screen using the included Logitech Setpoint software, which is easy to install and set up.
The mouse is considerably better in terms of tracking/motion, than previous mice I've used. It's smooth and feels good in my hand. It has an on/off switch to save battery life and a battery life indicator on the top of the mouse that stays lit for only a few seconds when you turn it on. (Again, a battery-saving feature.) I like the forward/back buttons on the side of the mouse, but the zoom buttons on the top are a bit small and too close to the web search button next to them for my taste. The glowing red tracking light is gone replaced by an invisible beam. I liked the red glow of older mice but this invisible beam probably saves battery life too. The scroll wheel has side-scrolling capability which is handy when looking at wide web pages.
Another neat new feature, is that the mouse and keyboard automatically connect to the USB base unit, which looks like an oversized flash-memory stick and has no lights on it. You don't have to connect and reconnect the keyboard/mouse every time you disconnect the base unit from your computer. This is a big improvement. The keyboard/mice have no problem connecting to the base unit four feet away from my computer.
Overall, this keyboard/mouse combo will take some time for you to learn to use all of its features and functionality, but both units work very well, feel good to the touch, and basically make computing more fun and efficient.
