Average Rating : 
Rating :  - Great mouse and keyboard, but terrible battery life and annoying software
This wireless keyboard and mouse set are average at best. The mouse and keyboard themselves are fine. They are of decent quality, made of your typical black plastic. The mouse is a good size for my hand, and the keyboard is serviceable, if a bit noisy compared to others I've had in the past. Where the EX110 fails are battery life and very annoying software.
The batteries in the mouse seem to go bad literally every month. When they are low, the software that allows you to use the custom buttons on the keyboard begins to give notices that pop up from your system tray in XP: "Warning, your mouse's battery's are critical!" Close the message, and it will reappear an hour later! It will do this for WEEKS. The only way to stop it is either replace the batteries or manually shut down the Logitech software which then prevents you from being able to use the custom buttons. Logitech should have enabled the user to choose if they wish to receive these focus stealing messages or not.
Another problem is that the wireless connection is spotty at best. I have the transponder sitting on my desk, no more than a foot and a half away from both the mouse and keyboard, and yet I consistently experience disconnections. This is really frustrating. I've tried moving things around, but it has not helped that much.
Pros:
Inexpensive wireless set
Customizable buttons are useful, as are the sound control buttons that are on the top of the keyboard. They allow you to advance or reverse tracks, stop or pause play, and adjust the volume. This has got to be my favorite feature, although almost all keyboards have these keys now.
Cons:
Poor battery life for the mouse.
Annoying software that gives you repetitive messages when the batteries of the mouse run low.
Limited signal strength for wireless connectivity
Noisy keyboard tray
There are a lot better wireless mouse/keyboard options out there. Buy something else if you think the issues I've described will bother you as well.
