Introduction

The evolution of the mouse may not be something you think about often, but maybe you should. The computer mouse and keyboard are our direct links into our computer without which your computer is useless. For such a vital link, it probably doesn't get the attention that it truly deserves.

I'm sure everyone remembers the old ball mouse; functional, but reliability eventually succumbed to dirt or general wear-and-tear. With the ball mouse came the cheap cloth mouse pad to give the ball something to grip and aid in manipulation. In recent years the ball mouse has become obsolete with the advent of the optical mouse. No longer did you have to worry about cleaning your balls (yeah yeah, you know what I mean!), a simple reflected light beam could easily capture your movement. Even the necessity of the mouse pad itself began to wane, although not entirely.

If you thought the optical mouse was as good as it could possibly get, then you would be wrong. What's better than a small LED, you ask? A laser of course! (Kurtis' Note: A friggin' mouse with a friggin' "laser" strapped to its head!) Enter Logitech with the MX1000 laser mouse. The laser mouse now has the longevity of the optical mouse and the increased sensitivity of a laser-based pointing device. Not stopping there, Logitech has chosen to pair the MX1000 laser mouse with the popular wireless LX700 keyboard to create what they call the MX3100 wireless desktop which I have here today. We will now see if the pair makes a happy couple or whether a divorce is in order, or something like that.

I have this set and use the PS/2 connection and find that the keyboard lags in typing. Typing more than 4 letters quickly would result in the 5th and onward letters lagging behind the first 4.
Mouse is flawless.
