Desktop Logitech LX: Comfort and Style

Cordless Desktop LX 700

The 700 is the top-of-the-line LX model. The mouse is one we're familiar with - a rechargeable version of the Click! Plus. It's a right-handed ergonomic mouse with great design features. The keyboard's shape and keys are very similar to the LX 500's, with a more luxurious finish and materials, especially the buttons. The combination of keyboard, mouse, and receiver, with its black, metallic-gray, and silver colors, exudes luxury and quality. This desktop's looks will find few detractors.

The receiver is low-key and discreet and also serves as the charging station for the mouse, without looking silly. The mouse is very easy to dock. With two 1,800 mAh AA rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, a charge lasts nearly a month before you have to dock the mouse on the receiver. The batteries are no heavier than two ordinary AA batteries, but the Click! Plus is a fairly large mouse, with a weight of 160 grams (about 5 ounces). Some may find it too heavy, especially for fast-action games.
