The not so great, not so bad, wireless mouse exhibits mixed features of notebook as well as desktop mice.

Guess what I got for Christmas this year? Yup, you got it right—I got this Microsoft Optical Desktop Pro keyboard and mouse set from my wife...

Just last week my boss said that his mouse was acting up and if we had another one in stock. I told him that my mouse was acting up too...

"The Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser features a built-in LCD on the keyboard that helps people manage the constant flow of information that has become an inherent part of working with computers. The LCD screen can display e-mail and instant message notifications, favorite playlists and Internet radio stations. And by displaying certain information on the LCD - such as the status of the caps lock and F lock keys, volume levels and mute - the keyboard also alleviates visual clutter that would ordinarily be displayed on the computer monitor."

"PC gamers themselves are pretty hardcore when it comes to computer hardware, and Logitech is obviously well aware of this fact. The G7 Cordless Laser Mouse is their newest mouse made specifically for gamers trying to get an extra advantage out of every peripheral they purchase."

"Have you seen the Mighty Mouse? No, I do not mean the super hero. I mean the latest innovation by Apple computers-- the Mighty Mouse. The mighty mouse is unlike any mouse you’ve ever seen before. The Mighty Mouse works directly with the latest version of the Macintosh operating system to provide many advanced features. However, using the Mighty Mouse with a Macintosh is not the subject of this article. This article focuses on exactly what you can expect when using the Mighty Mouse with a Windows based PC."

"Typing on a Das Keyboard is a lot like typing on any other computer keyboard — except the keys are blank. Most people, especially those who rely on the slow but steady hunt-and-peck technique, might consider that a problem."

"For $70 USD you can pick this little gem up and it is well worth it. The practical applications of a wireless desktop set are endless and to have it work as well as a wired set is even greater. If you are restricted to where you can place your tower because of input cord lengths, or are just sick of having wires tangled all over the place, than this set is for you."

"While most wireless mice ships with some type of wireless receiver - either Bluetooth or RF - The BLUETAKE BT510 ships with no receiver what-so-ever. So if your notebook doesn't have Bluetooth built in or if you don't have access to a Bluetooth adapter like the BT009Si , you won't be able to use this mouse. Omitting the Bluetooth adapter does reduce the cost of the BT510 however."

"Optical illusions are fascinating. What are really just a few dots of ink can effectively fool the mind's depth perception and color recognition, enough to make you look twice and try to feel what's actually there. The MX518 takes advantage of this art with its new faceplate. A dark metallic silver color appears to absorb light in different areas, giving off the appearance of very deep dents in the mouse itself. The Swiss-cheese-like 'holes' are very similar to the NASA photos of moon craters, or perhaps more like someone putting speed holes in a new car with a pickaxe. Whatever it looks like, it will definitely pull attention on store shelves with the see-through box it's packaged in."
