I love it, haven't tried it with games yet but I am sure that it will be accurate, it seems like a pretty damn solid kb/mouse combo. I am so far a very happy consumer, though I have only played around with it for an hour or so, it seems like I will enjoy it.

Enjoy. I don't like wireless keyboard and mouse for some reason, it's not my thing.:cool:

Oh, you will.

Just make sure you get the latest drivers from Logitech's site if you plan on using theirs.

I have started buying wireless for all my controllers for games, as long as they work as well as corded ones this one seems to, but I have my old kb and mouse (both logitech) just in case...

woot mine too

Any idea on how I an get ATI TV tuner to work with the prev/next buttons (or customize them so I can use foobar with them since that's my audio player of choice?)

Don't like the fact that I can't choose programs to add to the list of 'media players' when I hit the remote button, dammit i want it to give me a choice for TV etc.!

Im wondering if my tv creates some sort of interference for it.... 4 feet is my max and unfortunately the couch is 5 feet away

OK I went to Logitech's website and got the latest players.ini file (6/17/2003) and now it works with ATI multimedia center!! w00t!!! Still no f00bar support though :(

EDIT: NEVERMIND IT WORKS WITH FOOBAR TOO! Just can't launch foobar from the menu, but at least i can change playback! w00t!!!

Wow that couch is pretty close to the tv... anyways take it back and get a new one, maybe that will make a difference?

Too late to return, bought it 2-3 months ago.... Guess i could call Logitech?

Anyway, here's the setup (PICTURE) - And it barely works from that distance

It took me a little while to get used to the MX700's feel, I thought it was kinda floaty at first. But now that I'm used to it I'm as deadly as ever in BF1942 ;)

When do you recharge yours(the mx700)? Whenever idle or when it blinks red? Does it affect battery life?

No it doesn't its NiMH batteries.

Aphex, you could always go to some random store that carries the duo, buy it, then take out the new kb/mouse and put your old one back in and return it... say it didn't work properly

i bought one that ended up being EXACTLY that. i returned it, bitched them out at best buy BIG TIME and they exchanged it for me.

You have the gall to suggest something like this?? why not just recommend shop lifting?
