Good: Comfortable ("Natural") keyboard design, comfortable mouse design, nifty shortcut keys, good performance, good bundled software.

Bad: Mouse not ambidextrous, mouse functions buttons not easily accessible, expensive.

Bottomline: With it comes to good keyboard-mouse combos, the bundled software plays an important part in the experience. Logitech has the pretty good SetPoint software. Here, in the Microsoft camp, theyve got IntelliType and IntelliPoint.

Bottomline: The mouse does feel rather natural in my hand, if not a little big. The thumb buttons are not exactly at your thumb position, but upwards a fair distance and I cannot actually reach the further one (forward button) without repositioning my hand on the...
