PERFECT!

Honestly, keyboardsd are generally dirtier than your average toilet seat. Gross.

I have been using this mouse/keyboard combo for a few weeks now. It's really comfortable and the keys are surprisingly quiet. Glad to know I'm uh...safe though. :)

Great keyboard/mouse - not new though - got mine about 3 months ago here in Australia.

Nice, but why do Logitech and generally keyboard manufacturers have to screw every other keyboard they come out with by messing around with the keys layout?
Just look at the DEL/HOME keys group on this one!
And why such a small Enter key?

Despite its best efforts, I'm sorry but this keyboard still stinks.

Logitech Keyboards generally look pretty but are a pain to use sometimes. I personally have a similar keyboard (MX 5000). Like Rasty said above, the key layouts can be a pain to use sometimes. They've completely removed the scroll lock (yes I know it's sorta obselete) and shoved the insert key way above the Home/Delete key grouping. On top of that, the drivers and software for the keyboard are attrocious. My Keyboard disconnects, lags or pings out at the absolute worst times. The bluetooth stack constantly crashes too. I just wish they'd fine tune the software before releasing anymore hardware. And I won't even mention the kind of frustration I'm engulfed in when Windows crashes. That's a whole new can of worms. I'm not sure whether to recommend these keyboards. On one hand, when they are actually working, they look and feel great. On the otherhand, when problems arise (and they almost always do), worlds collide and you end up with a lot more gray hairs.

*fap-fap-fap-fap-fap!*

Oh crap! Oh, but that's right! My new keyboard has AgION on it, so it's cool.

Thank you James Ransom-Wiley. Thank you for using the proper word, mysophobes, and didn't use the stupid made-up "germophobe" non-word created by Seinfeld.

Hmm...am I enough of a germiphobe to buy this? Well, I was planning on washing my hands after I'm done typing this. Guess spraying the keyboard at the end of the day with Lysol isn't enough.

I can see these being useful in public places like net cafes. Not so sure about personal use, though.

This is news? I've had this keyboard/mouse combo since early October, nothing has changed...

Anyway, anyone who has this keyboard, have you noticed problems with keys repeating or not registering? For example the "-" key won't register quite frequently, and the "/" key will often make 5 or 6 characters even though I press it once. I'm not sure if it's a physical keyboard problem, something with the wireless, or a driver issue. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed anything like this.

On the plus side, the batteries last a very long time. Just replaced the mouse batteries because it started complaining, and replaced the keyboard ones trying to debug the above problem, but it said they were fine and it didn't hurt or help so I guess they would last a long long time.

Sure, yeah, it's great for the OCD crowd, but the real target might be public computers, no? Think how nasty the keyboards were at the last library you went to -- or at your school's public computers. Ugh.

In 20 years they'll discover that AgION-coated keyboards are the reason that so many nerds' fingers have begun to deteriorate.

I still use my keyboard from 1995. :p

On another note, CNN had a report on keyboards being used in their offices being a lot more infected than their toilets because of the assumption that toilets were dirty from the start, thus they needed to clean them a lot better, which resulted in their toilets being so clean you could almost eat directly from the floor, while their keyboards could almost kill you.
