I have the Logitech LX 700 Keyboard / Mouse Cordless pair. Just recently when I put the mouse in the cradle the green charging light wouldn't go on. Now the red light is on indicating that it has low battery while its sitting in the cradle not charging. Has anyone experienced this? Is there anything I can do to check if its the batteries thats the problem or the cradle itself?

effowe, this may sound like a "stupid" suggestion, but wiggle it on the cradle to "seat" it properly; just because it is in the cradle doesn't mean the contacts are :)

I agree. I have to wiggle my logitech wireless sometimes to seat it correctly or it will not charge.

Yes I have wiggled the hell out of the mouse but it will still not charge. I'm now at the point where I'm looking to see if it's covered by warranty, but I don't think it is. Maybe new batteries are the answer?

see if maybe the plug came out of the wall or the plug in came loose from the mouse cable?

Ah you win, I'm an idiot. I was assuming that the base was properly plugged in because the lights on it were on, and I was able to use my wireless keyboard and mouse still without a problem. When I went to look at the plug in the wall, however, it had come unplugged ever so slightly. Putting it back in solved the problem and my mouse is now charging. Thanks for the help.
