Wireless keyboards / mice and OS X / XTension

[Ken]

Anthony,

I have been using a Logitech Cordless MX Duo (keyboard & mouse) for several
years and can say it is great. The keyboard shortcuts are  extremely helpful
after my stroke. I can't say much about the Mac because I have mine hooked
to a PC using Timbuku to several  Macs. Some headless.

But I can say something about there support. I had a couple of keys
'non-critical' quit working and called for tech support. (They have a 5 year
warranty, I had mine around 4 so I thought I better check on it.). They
tried a few things over the phone (some I already tried) and to my surprise,
said they will be sending the next model up. They said it was the LX 700 and
gave me the link to check it out.

Well a day or so later, I was expecting that model, but they sent the top of
the line keyboard instead.

Great service! Highly recommended.
Ken
