Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Cordless Desktop S 530 Laser for Mac ( 967664-0403 )
Customer Review: Great Combo by Logitech
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great buy, especially if your wanting to replace your orginal mac keyboard and mouse, this will free up some of your USB ports on your mac, which is a major plus for me. I found the Logitech S 530 combo to be a very well designed and a very responsive wireless mouse and keyboard set. It took me only 1 minute to 2 minutes at the longest to get this thing setup, which is really user friendly in my opinion. The white and silver sleek design gives it that futuristic look that the majority of us computer users look at.
My Rating for the Keyboard: 5 STARS
Keyboard is very responsive, even if you're a fast typist, it'll keep up with you as you go.
Looks and feels simular to a Laptop Keyboard, except its full size.
Battery Life is Great, less batteries to change.
All in all the keyboard works great
My Rating for the Mouse: 5 STARS
Very smooth scrolling and navigation, some may need to get used to it, because it moves pretty quick.
The Form factor is very comfortable that will shape to your hand. Probably one of the most comfortable I've used.
Battery Life is great as well.
Uses Laser instead of Optical, better on more surfaces.
Both the Keyboard and Mouse have performed beyond my expectations. This is a fantastic buy and I recommend this 100%, If you decided to add this to your cart and your ready to buy, or you saw it at a local store but wanted to read the reviews first before you made the leap on buying, look no further this is the product for you, go out and get it or get it here at amazon.com, you'll love it each day you use it and you'll not regret it.
100% FULLY RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE, GREAT WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE COMBO FOR THE MAC.
Customer Review: Perfect Set for my Macbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to get a keyboard and mouse set so I wouldn't have to sit so up close anymore to my laptop. This was definitely worth it!
This keyboard feels really nice to type with and removes the need for the "fn" key which the wireless Apple keyboard has.
The keys feel like any other keyboard, and the keypad is great too.
The software that you can get from Logitech is great in its ability to allow you to customize many aspects of the set, including the keys on the mouse. Since I found the audio changing things useless, I just switched them off for the Next/Previous Tab and Close Window hotkeys.
When I went to Windows under Bootcamp, the mouse worked perfectly after installing the Windows version of the Logitech software. It detected it as an MX500 and allowed me to do the customizations desired. The keyboard was not detected, but the keys did their general functions: Home page, Email, Volume, etc. Which was good enough for me in Windows.
My only complaints about this keyboard and mouse is this:
The keyboard does not have a Caps Lock light, which doesn't bother me as much since I'm really good typer, but my girlfriend didn't realize she kept typing in the wrong password.
The volume changing on a mouse is almost useless IMO, but they still have the pictures on the mouse. It would be preferable if those pictures weren't there.
Also, the USB dongle that it came with did not match what was in the picture, instead it's a big black chunky one.
Regardless, this is still a really sexy, functional, and amazing keyboard mouse combo.
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I began researching Mac keyboards/mice because I hate the mouse that came with my Mac and I would rather have a wireless system.
I found this one and decided to purchase even though some of the reviews said it didn't work with the Intel machines. When i got it, I put in the batteries, plugged in the USB, and clicked the connect buttons. Everything worked great - well, the mouse/keyboard basics worked.
Once I went to the Logitech help pages, I found the updated software download for the Intel mac software/drivers. Once that was installed, I had the fully functional setup running right away.
What is really great is that I can just grab the mouse and USB receiver and toss it in my backpack to use at school (they have older macs with worse mice then my iMac came with).
The Mouse itself is very comfortable for my hand and I can finally right-click again. The movement is smooth with or without a mouse pad, and the batteries have not needed to be changed yet (about 6 months so far).
The Keyboard is very thin, which is something I was looking for. Most replacement keyboards seem to be larger then the basic ones - this one is a tad smaller, and about 1/2 as high. I have had no issues with using it, and no keystroke lag at all. Still running on my original set of batteries here too.
For those that care, the form factor of this set looks really good with the white iMac I have. It doesn't look out of place or cheap at all.
Customer Review: Apple watch and learn.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been living with the standard Apple wire keyboard and Mighty Mouse for a year and half, but for the past months I have been typing a lot more than usual. I have always found the standard keyboard a little hard to type on and the Mighty Mouse is not all that mighty, for my taste anyway.
First I was sceptic about this combo I read a couple of mixed reviews, but I decided to go for it anyway. In preparation, while I was waiting for the package, I downloaded the latest driver form Logitech and installed it on my Intel iMac OS X 10.4. And, Yes, everything worked out of the box, GREAT.
If you type a lot, I don't really know about gaming, this is a MUST, if you want to relax while doing it. Nice and precise feeling while typing. Quick and easy typing. Not to mention that the flat keyboard is a very comfortable idea.
All the buttons along the side is a matter of taste too. They need a firm press to activate so you don't launch an application by accident. They are their if you want but aren't in the way if they aren't your fancy.
The Mouse is more or less a standard Logitech Mouse with a very nice fell to it. The small volume button are useless though, but they aren't in the way, so I don't count that against them.
Over All score 5 because that is what they deserve for a keyboard that makes typing painless and "mouse-ing" comfortable. Apple, watch and learn.
Customer Review: Wonderful improvent over the MAC keyboard and mighty mouse. Like driving a Mercedes Benz with the reliability of a Toyota.
Summary: 5 Stars
Logitech has always been known for the high quality of its products. I work everyday on a PC environment and recently (December, 2007) bought a new iMac for my home. I love my iMac and my first impression at looking at its new titanium sleek keyboard and the mighty mouse were that those were very cool artifacts. But as you many now know, I find the Apple sleek keyboard irritating and a pain for writers. There is zero ergomics there and the keyboard has a funny feeling that over the times is quite disturbing. The mighty mouse is also a pain to use, and very very slow no matter how fast I set it to be in my system preferences. Desperate for a solution and after reading all the reviews of the third parties solutions, and also considering the quality of Logitech products I decided to buy this keyboard and mouse solution. Let me tell you that the IMPROVEMENT in the user experience of my iMac has has a 180 grade turn. The Logitech keyboard while being sleek is a pleasure to write on, not like the chiclets like awful Mac keyboard. I almost like to write more than I have too, this keyboard is really a pleasure. The mouse is also very accurate and blasting FAST. Is like a 10x improvement in accuracy and speed in comparison of the not so mighty mighty mouse from Apple. This keyboard and mouse is like riding a Mercedes Benz with the reliability of a Toyota. Totally recommended.
