WIRELESS: Logitech or Microsoft?

[Murr]

I've narrowed down my wireless KB/M package to MS's Optical Desktop Pro or Logitech's Cordless MX duo. They both cost about the same, $91 for logitech, $90 for MS, and they both have recharging stations for the mouse.

I'm leaning towards MS because of the "natural" keyboard, but I've never bought any MS hardware and I guess I just wanna make sure they don't suck. Any comments?

i hope u havent purchased one yet, i just bought the microsoft one from Microcenter on the northside of chicago for 64.00 Link its 1am i havent tried it yet but ill let you know tomorrow

I used both, the logitech had a better range. BUT the weird thing was that if I had a usb optical mouse plugged in the wireless one suddenly improved - very strange

Wait...thats not the pro version. I can't tell, is the base station also a mouse recharger (like the logitech mx700)?

no it does not have a base station for charging both the keyboard and the mouse take 2 AA batteries so far its been great im about 4 feet away typing this in my room my only grivence is the mouse only has 2 buttons in other words there is no side button to program

(I cheaped out on the KB to help the budget---- Logitech cordless Access.... works fine)

I have to vouch for Microsoft Natural keyboards here, especially the Natural Elite. It's really helped my wrists out and going back to regular keyboards are a pain for me.

I think you're fine either way. I've used the Logitech combos, I liked them, but I've always had MS hardware for mice/keyboards, and I love the quality and feel.
