Hey Kitty Kat,



It looks like a great keyboard and not too large for a small area. The idea of a scroll wheel is pretty clever and what a price.

Joanie,



I've now had the keyboard for a week, and I couldn't be more pleased. I love it, and I strongly recommend it for web surfers and multimedia junkies.

Hey Scuzzy, Real cool. I have one similar only it's not like that. Ok it's something like it. It's a Logitech. It has keys, but it's cordless. Has customisable keys that can be programmed through Logitech's I touch software. I also have the Logitech cordless wheel mouse. What a combo. I even have a cordless mouse for my Laptop. I cut and spliced the wires to the controler box so that it's very short and dosent't get in the way. I think Logitech is a very inovative company. I love the company so much, that I even bought it. NO just kidding. I couldn't resist that. Really the keyboards and mice far exceed Microsft and I believe they have fewer software glitches as well. I bet they come out with a Cordless keyboard just like yours in a while. Good choice. Plus the price was right.

John,



I noticed at a local computer store that a wireless version is already available, and includes a wireless mouse. I didn't bother looking at the package too closely, but I did notice that it was the identical layout, except that there was no scroll wheel, and the two extra keys on the left side were also not there. Unfortunately, I didn't take notice of the price.



One thing I don't understand is why Logitech does not show these new keyboards on their website.

Scuzzy, the wireless keyboard and mouse you saw may for the lack of a better term be "hey let's put some out to the public and see what happens" might be exposure products. Products given to stores to test the mainstream public and guage their reactions. The iThouch software and mousewar will probably be the same so as not to cause to many support issues.

John,



The wireless keyboard/mouse I described in my previous poast is $79.99 at CompUSA, and the mouse is optical.



Today, the store added the same keyboard I have in wireless flavor, with scroll wheel, etc., and a 3 button + scroll wheel wireless optical mouse for $99.99. The only difference is that the keyboard is black, with white highlights.

A funny thing happened to me on the way home tonight. I stopped by BestBuy and bought a Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard.



Let me start out by saying - WOW! This $29.99 corded USB keyboard is incredible. The keys feel perfect, the design is exceptionally well thought out, the added keys are large and clearly marked. It even has a perfectly placed scroll wheel on the left side. The software that comes with it makes life easy, and the extra keys are fully customizable. I'm totally impressed. I've been looking for a half-way decent replacement for that miserable Microsoft keyboard I had (good concept, but very poor quality).



Folks, this keyboard is incredible. It's easily worth the $30. I've seen plenty of nice keyboards before, but this is the best. I'd poast a picture of it, but it's so new that Logitech doesn't have it on their website yet.



Heck, I scanned the cardboard box so you could take a look:
