So I was looking around for a keyboard to match my MX Revolution mouse.

And I found this :  http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/detail...66,CONTENTID=12339

Now this seems to be the world's most advanced keyboard.

The FN key is simply brilliant, although I have to admit taking out the number pad might be an inconvinient for people entered a lot of date everyday.

The little touchpad and the volume control are just sexy IMO.

I checked out a few websites to read reviews, it's only problem seems to be it's price.

Priced at USD $199, that is a killer for teens who just love new gadgets.

I personally thought about getting it.. Then I realized it's not out in Canada yet.. and if I wanted to purchase it through out ebay or amazon, that would come up to about 300$ CAN..

Quality wise it seems to be worth getting, but what do you guys think about it price-wise?

The price seems expensive. It should be lowed down to around USD$180 with those technology.
The keyboard itself looks cool and stylish and it matches the UI of Vista too...

I got such a 'brilliant' touch-sensitive cowshit on my MX5000 and if they didn't improve that, it's still shit. You slide over it and the board needs 2-3 secs to notice something and react .

The Bluetooth-Key from Logitech is SHIT!!! My keyboard always loses connection. 'up to30 feet'? WTF??? Key -> Keyboard = 20-30 cm ...

My next Keyboard I'll get is a wired one! Never had any problems with my old 10€ keyboard .

Neh, it looks cool but i would rather stick to a simple keyboard and get awesome graphics and sound cards, although i do need a new mouse, keyboard and mousepad

ins4ne, maybe yours sucks? my mate has the diNovo keyboard and he can use his wireless from accross his room with no problems at all and the usb key is just sitting on his desk next to his monitor =)
