Couple questions. First, how is the mouse that comes bundled compared to the mx700? Second, can I use the mx700 with the kb if I buy it later? I still love my Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 (yeah 2.0, I like the big buttons.) but a black kb and mouse would look good with my new black monitor.
Sooo ... has anyone received theirs yet ? Did you get a Retail box product (with UPC) or Dell Brown box ?
UPS shows that mine has been delivered at home this morning, but I won't see it for another couple hours

I would imagine that it takes them so long to ship because 250,000 of us all ordered from them on the same day! Its the Anandtech effect BABY!!! GO HOT DEALS!!!
I just got mine today, but what am I suppossed to mail with the rebate in terms of a reciept? I only got an packaging contents sheet, no invoice.

Since no one replied to my question, I'll answer it myself
YES, you do get a full retail box from Dell (with the UPC barcode), so sending the rebate shouldn't be an issue.
I got the retail package with the upc, but did you get a receipt?
<edit> I received a packing slip with my order. Does this count as a valid receipt when sending out the logitech rebate?

Now this is my luck, I went to print off the rebate and the fan blew a small plastic piece from the receiver into the paper tray just as I clicked print. The printer just sucked it up and now everything I am printing has melted plastic on it .
Once again my package sat in the Apt Office for over a week without a notice of delivery. That is really starting to get on my nerves.
Anyway, I got it today and works well.

Thoughts about the Cordless Elite Duo:
Mouse:
The mouse in the Elite Duo is great for everyday use, but for gaming isn't close to the MX series. It first seemed a bit slow (perhaps because I wasn't used to the weight) and didn't seem to track well, but as I got used to it and tweaked the mouse driver settings I hardly notice it is cordless. Changing out my old cloth mousepad for a Ratpad GS also helped immensely. The one extra mouse button doesn't help much with most games, but the third button is well placed - mostly out of the way but in a comfortable position for heavy use in Maya which requires a third button for full camera movement. Basically it is not a gaming mouse, but it is accurate and comfy enough for me to use most of the time (switching to a MX 500 for UT and Serious Sam). The shape of the mouse, when you get used to it, is really rather nice and fits my hand well.
Keyboard:
.The keyboard scoll wheel works great, especially when scrolling long vertical sites like Fark (lots of scrolling with the mouse wheel makes my carpal tunnels a bit sore after a while). The zero degree tilt feels comfy as well, although it takes a bit of getting used to. The dial volume control works very well, one of the few that I actually have bothered to make use of (I hate hitting the "volume up" button twenty times to crank it, spinning the dial to eleven is much more intuitive). The dial can get a bit confused now and then and wil sometimes cycle between master volume and CD volume. Having visual notification of Caps lock status changes in big green letters is nice, although the KB doesn't have staus lights in order to save juice. The encryption feature is nicely implemented as well. It is easy to turn on and you never notice any lag because of it.
Battery Life:
I still haven't switched the keyboard batteries since buying it in November, and the mouse batteries last about a month
Range:
Wireless rage is pretty good and I never lose contact with the reciever sitting in the floor behind my box, about three feet away from the keyboard and mouse.
Anyway, I got my mine a while back for around $50, and at that price it is worth every penny for this pair. Full retail is a bit steep IMHO, but who in the forum pays full retail anyway?

I received a separate envelope a couple of days before, an "Acknowledgement of Order" or whatever and that has all the purchase price etc. This is your receipt.
was this the logitech duo that was given away for free during one of their promotion periods? :Q
