I have the same set, and I bought it for 170? lo:):)

That dude from the shop where I bought it, took the price of a cordless dexktop MX set, also with bluetooth, hah:):)

Nicest keyboard I've ever seen, even for gaming...

But ... does anyone knows what mousepad that is on that topicstarter's desktop?

The mousemat is a Ratpadz GS, it's a quality pad. I've been recommended to get Mouse Skate to prevent the MX900's feet from wearing out.

hey whats that thing in your headphone jack on the logitech z680's

It's an optical convertor, square optical to round optical, I can't remember for the life of me why I have it! Probably something to do with my now redundant MiniDisc recorder.

I currently have an MX700 and its awesome. I remember reading a while ago that Bluetooth's bandwidth is significantly less than what the MX700 uses (and thus isn't as good for gaming), can someone verify/show me that this is not true?

Also, I've been wanting to get a wireless keyboard for a while now. Is it worth getting Bluetooth or should I just get a normal wireless keyboard (which I believe is cheaper).

I guess I don't totally understand Bluetooth's advantages. Essentially it just allows all Bluetooth compatible devices to connect via one hub, is there anything else?

Well when i had my MS keyboard, I really had to have line of sight when sat on my bed, and even then sometimes it wouldn't register every press. With this I just drag the media pad and control my movies and music, which is displayed on my TV, from my bed; because BT doesn't need line of sight. Not to mention checking out the odd email and seeing who's on Messenger :D

As I said earlier, I find this mouse perfect for gaming, it's the first cordless mouse I have ever used, and I can say that it's just as good as any corded one. I cannot give you any figures or anything to back this up except that I belive (not definite) that bluetooth has the capability to transfer signals at up to 1000Hz (split between all devices?) not sure what the mouse frequency has been set too though, and the MX700 transferred at 125Hz, so I can't think of any perceivable benefit to lowering this, but maybe someone at logitech could have.

And in response to supernova_00, sorry but there is no backlight on the media pad.

I have (three) of those & the first one i bought since they first came out,heres what i think of it.

The MP doesnt have a back light <----- very annoying :angry:

I am not used to laptops keybord & using this keyboard i ALWAYS have a typo problem.

Using the Software gives you all the functions but also its the worst ever since ALOT of times the keyboard just disconnects ( you have to press the button on the mouse DS then on keyboard & wait) never had this issue without software. Yes i tried the latest logitech updates.

Thats what i can think of at the moment.

One of them just died for no reason ( Mouse only ) so i gave to my sis & for some weird reason it worked on her PC,trust me i tried everything to get that mouse to work on my system, and now shes having the same problem.

The GOOD:

It coverage is awsome (make sure the mouse DS is sitting HIGH). I tried going all the way to my sitting room ( 20M ) still no problem. Thats why i bought it in the 1st place, im using with Plasma TV & HTPC browse from bed =)

Its much better then MS BT since it works in BIOS too.

Ofcourse it looks great. ( most would agree ).

escuse my bad english :blush:

Naser

Hey, i was wondering if anyone know if i would be able to get Foobar or AIM working with this MediaPad, the two programs i use most for media. Oh and of course i use some video playing program, but kinda pointless to use the MP display for playing videos, if you think about it............ well its my opinion.

    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything? 
    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.
