Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro Review

The Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro is a combination of two independent Logitech products, the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave keyboard and the Logitech MX 1100 mouse. The combined package is great for users looking to buy a great combo instead of looking for keyboard and mouse separately.

Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave keyboard is an impressive keyboard with an ergonomic design. The keyboard has a curvy design that looks nice. The keys have been laid out in a fashion that puts least amount of stress on your palms. The wave design is what makes Logitech name it accordingly, has keys at an angle at the edges. The height of the keys varies so as to adjust according to finger reach making typing faster. The new layout and design takes some time getting used to but after that there is no looking back. After a few days of use, the keyboard works like a charm.

The Logitech MX 1100 mouse in the combo has an added advantage over the standalone : its rechargeable! This was the main disadvantage with the MX 1100 mouse, which otherwise had loads of features and ergonomics to push its sales. The mouse has a left thumb button under the rubberized coating which feels natural. It also has a rocker switch to change its sensitivity. Free-spinning wheel is another great addition that lets you scroll large documents with ease. The battery life of mouse is about 2 months before you need to recharge it again.

Logitech SetPoint software controls both the mouse and the keyboard. It houses all the settings for both the devices. It lets you customize the mouse and keyboard by assigning functions to the special keys. The SetPoint software also displays the battery level and warns when the levels are critical. Overall a great package to invest in.

Pros :

• Comfortable keyboard
• Wave design is addictive
• Mouse has loads of features
• Rechargeable batteries
• Great combo

Cons :

• No price reduction over individual components

Final Thoughts

The Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro is the combination of two of the best devices produced by Logitech. There is no reason for you to buy them separately even though there isn’t a price difference as you get rechargeable batteries with the combo which is really handy.
