If you're looking for luxury, this is the set to choose. However, lavishness comes at a price - double that of the Microsoft model. The mouse is an ergonomic dream (so long as you're right-handed) and is configurable so that you can choose a...

Overall I’m extremely pleased with the MX 5500 and has lived up to the high quality that Logitech is known for. Even while gaming I found the device to perform very well. At $169 the price tag seems a little steep but with that price point you are...

The keyboard in this set isn't what you would call compact or subtle. With a built-in wristrest and a glossy bump above the keys housing an LCD screen, it takes up far more room than a traditional 105-key model. The screen is the interesting part:...
