Simple gadget that works as described
There's nothing complicated about this. I use Skype and also listen to streaming FM. Before I had to go to pause the music, then plug in the headphone before answering the call. By then, the call went into voice mail. I still have to pause the music, but then just hit the button to switch to the headphone/microphone. When you get it, it seems a little pricy but it solved my problem, and I'm happy.

FYI - It loks like there's a light at the front, but it doesn't light up and I have no idea what it does (or is supposed to do).

Excellent product
Well, I just bought this and really like it already. Switching between headset and speakers is so easy now. Only problem I have is that the microphone is disabled when activating the speaker, but I can live with that :)

Broke down after a month
EDIT:

After the first day, I had a problem with switching from speakers to headset. When I switched, my headset would only work with the right headset. I had to tap the switcher a bit before both sides would work. This gradually got worse everyday.

Then, after a month, the mic port did not work at all. I cannot return it now because I thought it would work perfectly and i didn't expect to return 17$, so I threw away it's original packaging.

I now just have my headset plugged into my computer and it works perfet, so this switcher was a piece of junk.




I have only had this for an hour or so, so basing it off it, I can say it is much more convenient than having to go under the desk and on my knees every time I want to switch speakers. I don't notice any sound quality loss, so that's a good thing.

I'm not sure how this will live up after a couple of months, so we'll see.

My dispute about it though is that when I swap from speaker to headset, the microphone is not audible or very quiet for about 20 seconds or so. It's important to me if someone is talking to me through ventrilo and I can't reply for that long.

Great Switch
This switch works exactly as advertised. If you're looking for HiFi sounds, you probably shouldn't be adding any extra devices in your cable path. The sound DOES come through in stereo.

learning journey notebook insight
I purchases this item for my granddaughter. I guess it was everything she wanted and expected.

Great light weight machine
Purchase this vac because it was light weight and had good suction.
It has lived up to both.

Keyboard drawer
This keyboard drawer is excellent. I have a glass desk that I needed to add a keyboard drawer to and that is not easy. This piece is excellent. Installation is easy although it is heavier than you would think. I ended up using zip ties to strap it to the support bean that went under my glass desk and it is great. You can adjust the height and angle. I do wish that I could switch the mouse holder to either side but other than that it is wonderful. I bought it on sale and it was an excellent purchase.

good, basic headphones
I'm a teacher and bought a class set for an internet project. Even though they look straight out of the 80s, they work well and you can't complain about the price.

Good for the price.
They work, and if you use them for watching TV in bed, it's not a big deal to break a pair at their price, if you buy multiples. One negative though, you have to tiurn the TV volume up much higher than you would for regular speaker use, to get rich soundout of thsese headphones. But what do you expect from headphones
at this price range?

Decent product for the price
I bought 15 of these units to be used for online training by our sales force. The headphones actually produced surprisingly decent sound, especially for the price. And while they're not something you'd want to use as your primary headphone, they're not bad as a backup. The only real downside was the length of the cord, which is around 3 feet.

Coby HEadphones, value for the price
I bought these headphones for a class of 5th graders. They use them for computer time during class. The Headphones are comfortable and sound good. The price was so cheap,I expeted far less quality. I originally ordered these from HP but they were sold out, back ordered and did not tell me, this company sent them right away.

Decent Pricey Mac-Centric Case
This was one of nearly a half dozen bags and cases I picked up for my new Lenovo U330 (13.3"). It arrived with a cardboard insert that sticks out through the zipper, causing the zipper to deform. Even after 2 months of use, the zipper still isn't straight, and you can't really zip it with one hand. It also occassionally makes contact with the laptop, particularly when you're sliding it in or out, so I worry about scratches.

The pouches on the side look cool, but are only marginally useful for anyone using a regular power brick (though maybe not the mac's thin square power adapter). Any normal brick will stick out of the largest pocket and the cords also stick out and really detract from the overall coolness of the case. Basically, I just tuck a PDA in the large pocket and my small USB tether cords in the middle one, and a thumb drive in the small. If I want to bring my laptop cord, I use a different bag.

Overall, it's a cool-looking, decently-built bag (some stitching is coming loose already, but it's triple-stitched). At half this price I would have given it 4 stars, but for a premium case, it has its flaws. Mac users and those who don't typically carry the cord might be happier with it. Most other users should consider the Case Logic with the large zippered side pocket, which costs much less.

Perfect for Macbook
I just bought a macbook and needed protection and i bought this and it fits perfect. I can carry it around in my handbag and it dont get scratch up.
Its the best.

Great Sleeve
I really like the pockets on the outside of the sleeve. the pockets are just large enough for a mouse, flash drive and external hard drive or power cord. keep in mind that this is just a sleeve, and you will need to put it in a bag or carry it in your hand. but overall a great product.

Love it! Perfect size and multi-functional!
I recently bought this because I wanted a slim type of laptop protector. It's slim, yet tough and stretches to fit your computer. I love Neoprene because of the quality and that its water-proof.

The three little pockets on the outside also stretch without scratching the laptop. I was able to securely fit my external hard drive, USB Flash drive, and my laptop battery charger. It protected everything when I took it on the airplane and didn't move on bit.

Excellent Laptop Case
The case is exactly as pictured and is fantastic. I have a Dell M1330 and it fits perfectly snug in the case. The three external pouches hold my USB drive, bluetooth mouse and power cord with ease. The material stretches around whatever I put in it and after using it for about a month has not shown any signs of losing its stretch. Highly recommended.

No Problems. Good Value.
I bought WD because I have had good luck with them in the past. This drive was purchased as a replacement for a factory-installed Samsung hard drive in a Dell PC. This WD was very easy to install and has been performing just fine for five months.

WD 160GB harddrive
the harddrive was easy to install; and for the price
a good deal! from ordering thru delivery everything well, a nice way to do buisness.

Great hard drive for my older G4 Mac
What can I say, no complaints, works great, it's quiet and reliable. I've had good luck with other WD drives and expect the same quality here.

3 Drives all good
I ordered these to replace 2 HDs that were too small, and one drive that was showing signs of failure. So far all three of these drives are working fine. I have no reason to complain.

Needs a USB Extension Cable for Receiver
This Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro is a combination of a cordless version of the Logitech Wave Keyboard and a single (rechargeable) battery version of the Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse (910-000718). In general, I'd have given it a 4 star ranking except for one thing: I had to buy a Cables To Go - 19018 - 2M USB A/A Extension Cable to stop the mouse from lagging/stuttering (just plain stopping for several seconds at a time). The problem could be a combination of the thumb-drive sized receiver for the keyboard/mouse and my steel Antec LifeStyle Solo ATX Quiet ATX Mini-Tower Case (Piano Black). The receiver plugs directly into a USB port instead of sitting on the desk with a cable extending to the USB port. For a laptop (or maybe a non-steel case), this shouldn't be a problem (in fact, it would be very convenient). But, in my setup, I'd lose the mouse connection repeatedly. Just using a foot-long USB extension cable so the receiver rested on top of my computer case got rid of most of the lagging. With the two meter extension, I've got the receiver on top of my desk (like the receiver for my old Logitech 967692-0403 Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser (Black) and haven't had any problems at all.

Regarding the keyboard part of this package, it's pretty good. Compared to my old keyboard, I find it a bit cramped. But, I think this is a function of my being used to the more separated hands of the pure ergonomic design. The wave design is better than a regular, straight design. But, not as good a real split-hand ergonomic keyboard. My only other complaint about it is a minor one: the palm rest is non-detachable (it's a soft, padded rubber, though). I had a micro-bead palm rest that was great. But, with the non-detachable nature of this keyboard, it's no longer really workable. One other thing to be aware of is that the two AA batteries that come with the keyboard are non-rechargeable (unlike the mouse's).

For the mouse, I've already mentioned the stuttering problem and my solution. The only other problem I have with it is that the Back and Forward buttons are a bit small and awkwardly placed (again, this could just be because I'm used to a different mouse). On the positive side, the mouse feet are great. My old mouse didn't slide well at all. On the very same surface, this one glides smoothly and easily. So, the mouse feels good and moves well. The next biggest positive would probably be the standard rechargeable AA battery (instead of a proprietary version -- and note that there's only one battery instead of the two that come with the stand-alone mouse). The set comes with a charger for the mouse. But, I'll just be using my standard battery charger and batteries instead. I also like the little button below the scroll wheel which converts the scroll wheel from free-spinning to click-spinning.

So, if it weren't for the receiver interference problem (which could be specific to my steel case setup), I'd have been happy to rate this set at a Very Good 4 stars out of 5. But, because of it, I'm dropping my rating by one to a Good 3 stars out of 5.

One Of the Best Combo Units
I am using the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro for couple of months now. It is simple one of the best I have used. I do lot of typing as part of my profession. I am really happy with its performance. I had a issue with the document flip/ Application switch button with my mouse. It was not working at all. I downloaded the driver software from the logitech site ( even though the version provided with the installation disk is same as the one in the website.) and reinstalled it. the button started working. But i have to Press it really hard, when compared to the other 9 buttons on which needs just a feather touch. The Keyboard is simple the best. The Key strokes are not silent, but they are really responsive and smooth. (Note: couple of my friends are having the same combo, they are complaining about strains due to prolong use of the keyboard.) It is working fine for me. Bluetooth is not available in this model.And easy access keys in keyboard is really useful. Overall it is a good combo set. May not be a must have Unit for computers, But sure a better combo.

Probably best Wireless M/K combo
This thing is good. It's almost good enough to game with. the mouse has good features. I couldn't really see a wireless mouse and keyboard doing better than this anytime soon. All wireless equipment has some set backs, that being said...this is probably the best you can get. I've actually been able to get about 15-20 feet away with this thing and it still work. I use this keyboard and mouse when I'm on the couch browsing on my tv(I'm actually doing it right now while writing this review, distance 7-8").

Out standing keyboard
The most comfitable and inovative key board and mouse I have ever had, hands hardly ever get tired or hurting and I have arthritis.

Great combo the best keyboard and mouse on the market.
I've always loved the Logitech cordless mice but been less a fan of their cordless keyboards. But since I really liked my stand-alone Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse (910-000718) and was happy with my 2 corded Wave keyboards, I thought I'd give this combo of a try.

I'm glad I did. It pairs a premium version of my favorite MX1100 mouse with what so-far is my favorite cordless keyboard.

My concerns with past cordless keyboards have been lack of ergonomics for extended use for the many computer hours I spend daily, and lag/key-repeat problems which manifest most obviously in PC gaming, but I notice in other usage also. Neither of these are problems with my new Wave.

The Wave keyboards (both corded and this cordless) have a great level of responsiveness. The programmable and multimedia keys offer full functionality but aren't "in the way" for people like me who don't use most of them. The keys have some firmness, giving feedback to my typing but not so much that I have to check that each keypress took. The slight undulation (the namesake "Wave") of the keyboard seems to fit the natural reach of my hands without having a learning curve.

I put the new cordless and old corded Waves side by side and they appear entirely identical, except the symbols on the multimedia keys are black (on this Cordless Wave Pro) instead of white. No other visible differences.

Versus my old corded Dell keyboards and the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3000 Laser (967553-0403) that this set replaced, I seem to typo less and type a little faster.

I've also tried the Logitech diNovo Edge and S500. I prefer the Cordless Wave Pro hands down to both.

The built-in wrist-rest of the Wave is the exact right size for my hands and angled well; I don't miss my separate wrist-rests at all.

Now for the mouse: the ergonomics of the older MX1000 (which I liked, but never QUITE worked for my hand, always felt a little too small) are addressed in the MX1100. Sensitivity and layout is just right; the thumb grip reminds me of the Logitech 931689-0403 MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse (Black) without the added bulk of that mouse.

Versus the stand-alone Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse (910-000718), the bundled MX1100 in this set is a lighter mouse with a single rechargeable/replaceable battery and a mini USB port on the mouse that attaches to a plug-in power adapter that lets you work while it recharges. I like this design better (lighter, no disposables). Although it seems odd for Logitech to design two nearly identicaly but notably different mice under the same name.

The software works well and is easy to understand. It's a great multi-button mouse that doesn't require additional configuration. It's a great keyboard with expanded functionality that doesn't get in the way of basic keyboard usage.

Quibble: The keyboard function (F) keys are a little small if you use them much. And that's my only quibble!

At this writing, I've been using the set for about 3 weeks.
Highly recommended. This is the best on the market today.
