First off let me say great keyboard logitech!

-Packaging was decent, just a box with a picture of it and the spec, the standard. Inside it was wrapped in plastic and the software was in a plastic case. All with a card board structure.

- Installing, fairly simple, shut down the computer and plug it into the USB or PS/2 port, which ever you preffer. Turn the computer on and put in the included Driver CD or download the latest drivers at logitech.com.

The keyboard is self is amazing, quite and great looking, it has several extra keys including E-Mail, Messenger, Webcam, iTouch, Search, Shopping, Favorites, and my Home. All these keys can make life easier. There is also a scroll wheel on the left side for better web navigation. This keyboard has a windows and Apple key just incase you want to use it for you mac or both (sorry linux users, no tux key :( ) The F-lock on this keyboard is much better than microsoft's F-lock. The volume wheel is pretty cool, I like it alot better than volume buttoms because u can change the volume alot quicker, good when you in a game such as Counter strike where ever second counts.

This keyboard also features a "Go" button which is basically Run which an iTouch logo slapped on it.

The drivers are ok but they seem to eat a bit of ram for a keyboard driver (12MB) The first time you use one of the shortcut keys (Messsenger, Email, etc.) It gives you a little tip. This top tells you about the key and what it can do and how to customize it. Perfect for new or less experience users.

The one thing that bugs me is the fact that you cant customize the Media key, it will only open the media program and make you select which player to use.

Its not that bad but I rather it just open my preffered media player.

Pros

-Great Looking

-Quite Keys

-Great set of short cut buttons

-Scroll Wheel on site

Cons

-Bloated drivers

-Customization could be better.

My Rating 4.5/5

i used the cordless mx duo for about a year. it was a great keyboard. but the mouse's 'coating' wore thin, and started to look really ugly...

then dazzla reviewed the Logitech DiNovo here @ neowin, and i just had to get it.

there's just too many pro's over the mx duo with the DiNovo. :p (but the price i guess)

I have the Duo Elite as well, it's a great setup but the only problem I have with it is the base station. I have to reposition the mouse on the base station a couple of times before it would recharge.

-- Edit

My miistake, i didnt realise it was a review of the keyboard only ;)
