Logitech Bluetooth Cordless MX Duo

Introduction

Logitech has long been a leader in the computer accessories market, with one of their specialties being keyboards and mice. Building upon the success of their product lines, they've continued to add new features while holding price points to a reasonable level. One of their more recent offerings, the Cordless Desktop MX for Bluetooth, is an example of that and the subject of this review.

Based on Bluetooth - a wireless standard that allows similar enabled devices to communicate with each other within a short distance (30 feet) for the purposes of sharing or transferring information and files - the Cordless Desktop MX for Bluetooth makes it possible to work without wires running from your mouse or keyboard to your computer. While this is also possible with older RF technologies, Bluetooth gives the added functionality of allowing multiple devices to talk to each other, instead of a one on one communication.

With an MSRP of $199, this keyboard, mouse and Bluetooth basestation combo can be found for as low as $115 online.

The Bluetooth ensemble includes a keyboard, mouse and Bluetooth basestation.
