Introduction

Early this year I reviewed the Logitech MX700 all by its lonesome, and I have continued to use it because it is so great. Now, thanks to Logitech, I am able to check out the Cordless MX Duo! The mouse remains unchanged in the Duo version, but the base is a little different, and there is also a wireless keyboard. The keyboard follows the same style as the MX700, and offers plenty of extra features such as Media controls, one-touch program buttons, and more!


First Impressions

My first thoughts were that Logitech is doing a great job designing stylish products with great features. As I mentioned earlier, I have already been using the same mouse that comes in the Cordless Duo (MX700) for quite some time now. I have been quite content using my MX700 and my good ol' MS Multimedia Keyboard. The colors of the two don't exactly compliment each other, but they have both served me well. Perhaps the greatest thing about the Cordless MX Duo is that the keyboard and mouse follow the same design, but don't forget that the keyboard is wireless as well, and it is very convenient to buy them as a package. The bundle is also cheaper than buying a similar quality keyboard and mouse separately. I have been very impressed by the MX700 in the past, and from my first looks, I am sure the keyboard will follow suit.

picked one of these up last week at CUSA for $60. mainly got it for the mx700 since it costs $70 alone, but damn is it a nice product. there's no lag whatsoever, though the futhest away the keyboard has been was been like 3feet, due to my 15" laptop screen at 1600x1200. damn im getting blind. this has been my first keyboard with all these fancy buttons, i dont really use and of them. there also arent lights for caps lock/#lock etc... which i dont like. I havent had an "bugs" with the volume control. the mouse, is simply AMAZING. if you dont want the set, just go get the mx700 you wont regret it. its extremely comfortable and the quick nav buttons are great if youre lazy. upgrading from a 400dpi mouse to this 800dpi one, it feels so much smoother and more precise, especially during games, granted i only play blizzard games as of now, and played CoD single player(not worth it, about 5 hours of gameplay).

go get it and GREAT REVIEW

thx for the feedback and im glad you like the duo... one thing id like to mention is that there ARE caps lock LEDs etc, look on the base station. I guess it would be nice to have it on the keyboard too, but its sort of a trivial thing.

What should I do if my rechargeable batteries have died? Will it still be able to charge if I put regular batteries in the mouse or do I have to buy rechargeable batteries to make it able to charge?

when i put my mouse on the base or charger for an extended period of time and then take it off to use the red light is blinking. how can i make it so it charges?

After I charge it and then take it off the charger the light on top of the mouse is still blinking red. And do the regular batteries only last a certain amount of time because mine don't seem to last very long?
