Don't Waste Your $$...Bluetooth functionality not...

Strengths: keyboard has lots of pretty buttons that look cool on a desktop

Weakness: most of the buttons don't work or work correctly because of poor software developement for the product.

Logitech has always had good keyboards and mice...it's just that their software tries to do too much and accomplishes little more than wasting your time trying to get it to work. The bluetooth software (v 2.06) wrapped in this 'bluetooth' keyboard & mouse is incredible buggy; to the point of actually decreasing your productivity. Suggestion, stay away from Logitech bluetooth products until they...

Keyboard/Mouse problem

Strengths: When it works it's great.

Weakness: If your computer locks up or crashes forget it. No matter what you try the keyboard and mouse will not reconnect.

My work around is to turn off the computer, plug in a corded mouse, reboot, log into windows, luckily my wife's account doesn't have a password or I'd be screwed. Using the mouse start the logitech mouse and keyboard settings application. Click on tools, bluetooth, connect device. Click on search again 3 or 4 times while pressing the connect button on the back of the keyboard. Finally it gets...

Logitech MX5000 Laser Bluetooth mouse and keyboard

Strengths: Very cool design, great features, mouse works great, Bluetooth 2.0

Weakness: Poor functionality - Logitech shouldn't have released this yet. Needs new drivers/software.

This keyboard/mouse combo is promising, yet currently is not functioning how it should. The mouse is great - have had very little problems. However, Logitech desperately needs to update the functionality of the keyboard, as it simply does not work: 1. The touch-sensitive media controls on the right side are a great idea, but don't work correctly. The documentation states that you can tap the...

Great Toy if it worked properly! Annoying to use....

Strengths: Terrific keyboard layout with very positive feel. Looks good. Mouse is excellent. Display, a gimmick, but has its uses. Touchpad LEDs a nice addition

Weakness: Setpoint software causes BSODs. Bluetooth connection is poor. Software options not as versatile as I would like.

Couple of comments to add. 1. The Setpoint Software. Oh boy, where to start? After MUCH ripping out and reinstalling of Setpoint and the drivers I found that the Windows Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) that I was suffering on a daily basis was actually due to the Setpoint Software that gives the MX5000 most of its advanced capabilities. At first, I suspected the Widcomm driver, so I ripped that out...

Totally useless mouse... keyboard is almost as bad.

Strengths: Ergonomics of mouse are nice.

Weakness: Mouse is useless! It constantly drops connection.

After two months of being driven insane by the mouse I have totally given up! MANY times I'll be working along just fine and then the mouse decides that it doesn't want to work. After a minute or two it comes back to life. Then there are times when after rebooting my PC the mouse is dead! Usually I need to cycle the power on my PC to bring it back to life. Then to really piss me off it will...

Barely usable

Strengths: nice design, the LCD VFD screen is sharp and useful

Weakness: keyboard drops connection, the mouse behaves heratically

Having the keyword connected to the computer is extremely challenging, since it constantly drops the connection. Also the pointer on the screen doesn't move accordingly to the mouse itself! I bought it on Amazon, and send it back in less than a week.

Not as advertised

Strengths: Nice feel of mouse, keyboard right weight and keys depress nicley. Extra fucntions like media keys and track display are ok the rare occasios they work.

Weakness: Major software issues, the product is utterley unusable with the software provided by setpoint! Volume and Zoom keys are in a stupid place.

Logitech advise removing their own software and using the keyboard and mouse without any added fucntions, display and with only the left, right and scroll buttons on the mouse. Avoid until someone can make a better one!

MX 5000 Cordless Desktop Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse

Strengths: 1. Mini Bluetooth receiver is great. 2. LCD display is a nice feature ... Calculator, Date/Time/Temp display ... etc. 3. The mouse docking station only needs power ... no USB connection.

Weakness: 1. Installation instructions need improvements. 2. I still need a USB keyboard to access the BIOS. 3. The Media touch controls.

I really like the mini bluetooth receiver over the older mouse docking station receiver. The mini receiver allows for better placement of the mouse docking station. Logitech's older Cordless Elite keyboard had much better media controls than the MX5000. The MX5000 controls must be pressed too hard to make adjustments. A firmware or software patch should be provided to improve the sensitivity of...

Bluetooth Weaknesses Greatly Outweigh Strengths

Strengths: Nice mouse, good keyboard layout, adds Bluetooth functionality

Weakness: Buggy software: Keyboard is prone to double-hitting letters when some time has elapsed since last key was depressed. Bluetooth keyboard cannot be used to CTRL-ALT-DEL a hang-up.

While the MX 5000 / MX 1000 makes a sexy looking package, the functionality leaves much to be desired. Logitech seems to have made the keyboard work under most circumstances, but it is still dependent on complex software that can get swapped out. This results in a noticeable lag in seeing an initial key depression after a long time of no keyboard activity. Furthermore, for some reason, the first...

Looks great, works horribly

Strengths: ...still looking.

Weakness: HMMM, lets see... design, software, drivers, keyboard, loses connection. What else? Hmmm, everything.

The following is for Windows XP....I don't know if any of this is true for macs, linux, etc. I've always trusted logitech for my mice, keyboards, and webcams, but the MX™ 5000 was a HUGE disappointment. Don't waste your money, buy something else. My old keyboard was a Logitech Cordless iTouch Keyboard (Great keyboard). I had to replace it after my Mom spilled hot tea all over it (Should've just...

Logitech MX 5000 Cordless Desktop Bluetooth 2.0 Keyboard and Mouse Duo

Back in November of 2005 we reviewed the then top-of-the-line wireless keyboard and mouse set available from Logitech. We found the MX 3100 Keyboard and Mouse Duo, which features RF wireless technology, to be an overall great product. Today we are going to look at a more modern keyboard and mouse set from Logitech, namely the MX5000 duo. The MX5000 is a wireless keyboard and mouse solution that...
