Logitech Cordless Desktop MX for Bluetooth
Janak was mentioning his excitement about a Logitech Bluetooth mouse recently, so when I was looking through Tek 'n Toys list of pre-release items and saw this Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo, I figured I'd better post on it. From what I've read, this combo will allow you to do everything that the Microsoft Bluetooth kit will not. If you want to ensure that you get one as soon as they are released, you can pre-order one today. [Affiliate]

Personally, I found the delay in responsiveness for the mouse intolerable. When you move the mouse, there is a noticeable delay in the movement of the cursor. Additionally, when you move the mouse quickly the cursor just doesn't respond well. It's erratic.
Maybe logitech won't have this problem.

aside from the fact this one has a rechargable mouse, I've heard the accompanying bluetooth hub is far more useful(with other products). it's going to run at either $135or $175, can't remember. brain not working.

For starters, you can't use it to ActiveSync your PPC to the Desktop b/c there is no serial profile.

Someone has to explain to me why a keyboard that isnt usable until the operating system is fully booted is so desirable. If you want to change something in the bios or if you boot to multiple operating systems you have to use a regular wired keyboard. Even the regular wireless keyboards work at POST.

Please explain to me what a regular RF wireless keyboard mouse combo can't do while this new bluetooth combo can do. For $170+, sorry, not for me. I can get a decent RF wireless combo witha a third of this price.
