Great Joystick.......2007-09-10

This joystick is SWEET ! I've had it 6 months and it's been awesome, no problems at all. Well worth it !!

wireless joystick.......2007-05-15

Performs very well, comfortable, and good trim action. I use it for flight Sim. and it does all I need. Wireless action is flawless and I notice no interference with other equipment.

Pretty Good.......2007-04-19

This is a pretty good joystick, with good feel, good response, and plenty of options. I bought the Freedom about six months ago to play OSX SkyFighters (a WWII Flight Sim for the Mac) and for that purpose at least, it has been great, I literally have no complaints. That said, when I tried to use the Freedom to play the Mac version of F/A 18: Operation Iraqi Freedom the joystick came up short: F/A-18 really needs an 8 position hat switch just to get started -- the Logitech Freedom has 4 -- and the joystick didn't respond quickly enough (and its buttons sometimes not at all) and at times it gets jerky. For the WWII sims though, its great -- it works fine, is smooth, the cordless feature is really nice, and I've never had a problem getting the joystick to work with the UPS receiver or my computer (which is an Apple iMac G5 Desktop with 17" M9843LL/A (1.8 GHz PowerPC G5, 512 MB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive).) One bit of advice: get rechargable batteries (type AA) for this joystick and you will like it even more.

A good joy stick........2007-03-28

The Logitech Fredom 2.4 GHz Cordless Joystick was recognized by my Mac in true plug and play fashion. The action on the joystick is smooth and the build quality is very good for it's price. I highly recommend this joystick.

Product Description

Cordless Freedom Optical is the ultimate device in comfort and design. Lose the restricting cord and the lint-collecting mouse. Every keystroke is now made easy with Zero Degree Tilt, offering one of the lowest profile keyframes available. Seamlessly connect and navigate the Internet at the touch of an iTouch button or the scroll of the iNav wheel. Intuitive multimedia controls are at your fingertips and allow you to control MP3s, DVDs and CDs from your keyboard.

Amazon.com Product Description

Sleek, versatile, and almost completely devoid of messy cables, Logitech's Cordless Freedom Optical is an elegant and exceptionally flexible control solution. From its jam-packed keyboard to its light-sensor mouse and wireless interaction, the unit represents the current pinnacle of computer input technology and offers more options and convenience than virtually any other similar setup. If you're prepared to pay the comparatively substantial price and thereafter quench its thirst for batteries, you really need look no further.

The Cordless Freedom Optical is actually comprised of three modules. The heart of the system is the receiver, a stylish triangular gadget approximately half the size of a typical mouse. Encased in a translucent shell that lets you see its high-tech inner circuitry, the receiver resides on the desktop or other convenient surface and gathers in the airborne signals produced by both input devices. It interfaces with the PC via a six-foot Y cable that connects to the PS/2 and/or USB ports, and operates best when within six feet of both the mouse and the keyboard.

The keyboard, a wireless adaptation of Logitech's own Internet Navigator Keyboard, is, in effect, a full-blown command center. Apart from its 104 standard keys, it features 20 additional controls for one-touch operation of common multimedia, e-mail, and Internet functions. Its eight Internet-specific buttons are labeled with designations such as Shopping, Finance, and Search, and by default access various regions of Logitech's own www.myitouch.com gateway site, although all buttons can quickly be reconfigured to your own preferences.

Three additional controls are at the keyboard's left edge, each designed to facilitate mouseless browsing. The Go button activates a tiny dialog box in which you can enter the URL of your choice. The Back button returns you to the last viewed page and will also move you forward once Logitech releases a downloadable patch in January 2002. The most innovative control of all, a miniature scroll wheel, can be programmed to support a variety of functions including cut and paste, vertical scroll, and zoom. The unit also features a sleep/shutdown button, an instant e-mail access key, and a seven-piece audio-video panel with handy amenities such as a mute switch and rotating volume wheel. Each single-click operation is accompanied by an onscreen text confirmation, and all 124 controls offer noiseless action.

Logitech has partnered this very capable keyboard with its Cordless MouseMan Optical, a wireless mouse that sports four buttons, one wheel, and a tiny light sensor on its underside that translates movement more accurately and with less tracking hassles than a traditional ball. With no cords to clutter the desk, no moving parts to get dirty, and no need for a mousepad, the Cordless MouseMan has a number of obvious advantages. Unfortunately, its asymmetrical design is just as uncomfortable for lefties as it is comfortable for right-handed folk. And certainly some users will long for the fifth button found on some competing mice. Otherwise, the Cordless MouseMan is a fine controller.

In action, the system offers a striking balance of functionality and futuristic good looks. With its unique gray-on-black color scheme, low aerodynamic profile, and curvy, detachable palm rest, the keyboard in particular adds a sense of drama to any desktop. The mouse isn't a perfect color match, yet it does sport a distinctive two-tone finish with a pretty Logitech logo up top and a glowing red light underneath.

The price for this level of performance is paid in batteries. Although its demand is no greater than that of comparable cordless products, the keyboard does gobble up four AA batteries twice a year and the mouse uses two more every three months. Even if you use rechargeable batteries, the maintenance cost is much higher than that of corded components. Is it all worth it? If cutting-edge wireless control is truly important, there's no question. --Gordon Goble

Pros:

Cordless operation
Powerful, versatile keyboard
Optical mouse with no moving parts
Sleek profile
Full programmability
One-touch access to Internet and multimedia with onscreen confirmation

Cons:

Formidable price point
Mouse not suitable for lefties
System requires six AA batteries
One less mouse button than some competing products

Customer Reviews:

Best keyboard and mouse I've ever owned, period........2004-10-14

I've had this combo for about 3 years. I've NEVER had a problem with it. I've only replaced the batteries in the keyboard once (as far as I can remember, anyway...they really do last that long). I bought a couple pairs of Panasonic rechargeable batteries for my mouse and they do last a good amount of time for someone who lives on their computer, like me ;-).

I'm heavy into web browsing, doing homework and project work (which is generally ALL computer-based) so the batteries in the mouse get a lot of use and do last a good amount of time thanks to the different power save modes.

The mouse has been through the ringer too, let me tell ya'. It's flown off my desk several times, thanks to inertia (I've retracted the pull-out keyboard/mouse shelf from my desk pretty fast before and the mouse just glided right off!) but it's sturdy as a rock and has zero problems still today. The keyboard's palm rest still functions after the little clips that hold it in place all broke off, thanks to other users of this keyboard that weren't terribly friendly to it, but alas, its functionality remains.

I recently tried to upgrade to the MX700 keyboard/mouse combo, but the newer buttons on the keyboard are mostly useless to me, like the 'webcam' button (i don't even have one), all those retarded F-Lock keys (I rarely use Word, let alone any other Microsoft productivity software) and several other buttons they moved around so it just throws me off, however, the raised buttons for the media playing (play/pause, stop, next, back) are all nicer and more pronounced when pushing them as opposed to this cordless freedom keyboard, but that's a minor observance.

I really wanted to like the MX700 mouse, but it's shape is a little bulkier than the MouseMan, and my hand is pretty small for a guy (they're ony millimeters smaller than my last girlfriends' hands!!!) so my hand just didn't feel comfortable on it and cramped up often. Also, the placement of the thumb buttons just didn't feel natural, as i'd have to move my thumb up constantly, as opposed to down (which i feel is a more natural movement for the thumb) on the MouseMan.

The main reason for this feeling is I have the thumb button on the MouseMan set up as the Alt button because I use a 3D program called Maya that relies on pressing the Alt key plus the left and middle mouse button to pan, scale and move around the 3D scene (which is a CONSTANT occurence) and it's much easier for me to have the thumb button on the MouseMan depressed constantly as opposed to the MX700's thumb buttons. Also, I felt that the 'cruise' buttons and the 'quick switch' button on the MX700 mouse are just too far apart for natural hand movements and really made me strain to reach them. Again, this is probably just because of my small hands, but maybe Logitech could release a slightly refined, smaller MX700 mouse for guys (and girls of course) like me. :-)

Well, that is it. I'm going to buy another one of these sets to have when the one I'm currently using finally dies...if it ever does!!

Bugs in the software - Do Not Buy This Product.......2004-03-10

Well once again I got suckered into buying a very good piece of hardware that has very bad software support.

I think Logitech make outstanding products but they refuse to accept the responsibility for supporting the product after they get your money.

If you buy this Keyboard/Mouse system you may find it annoying to have a message pop up every 5 minutes saying "device connected on channel 2" You will not be able to type another keystroke until you click the "OK" button.

I went to the Logitech's website, read the help, read the forums, installed the lastest drivers & software. None of it worked. But the bummer part is that they do not even answer your email request for help. They SUCK !

I have solved the problem by removing all the software that came with the unit as well as the updated software from the Logitech website. I then installed the default driver from Microsoft. The bad part of this solution is that the Logitech software is what allows all of those nice little buttons on the keyboard to work. Without there software, I have a generic cordless Keyboard/Mouse. I could have saved $30 and bought any number of just as good units from other vendors.

I think my next Keyboard/Mouse system will be from Microsoft. They already have the drivers maybe they can get their buttons to work.

So in conclusion; Logitech SUCK when it comes to supporting there product.

device connected on channel Window Problem.......2004-02-06

Worked great for a while then the "device connected on channel" window started appearing all the time. The focus goes to it, which interfers with your activity on your PC. (Must press OK on window or click on title bar of window your working on. Whatever you were typing is lost.) Have tried all the suggestions from Logitech such as moving things around, but no luck. Changed batteries, etc. Will not purchase any Logitech products in future, because Logitech is not addressing the problem. If they would not display the device connected on channel window, would not be should an annoyance. Looks like something left over from their debugging their software.

Great Product.......2003-11-18

The Logitech Cordless Freedom Optical is an awesome keyboard/mouse combo. I've had mine for years and it has yet to fail me once. Sometimes it loses its wireless connection or it doesn't detect right, but I think thats just something you have to deal with in the earlier stages of wireless desktop computing. The mouse is very comfortable and the keyboard lets me type for hours with minimal discomfort.

This set is amazing........2003-10-06

I love this keyboard and mouse set. I have never had a problem with bad connection except in the very beginning (the instruction manual does not point out the connect button on the mouse and it is miniscule and I could not find it.) The battery life on the keyboard is amazing. I have not yet changed the batteries and I have had it for 3/4 of a year. The mouse batteries last for about a month. The mouse is very durable. I have dropped it repeatedly and the worse thing that has happened is the batteries have popped out. The extra buttons on the keyboard are great. There are 9 buttons which you can program to open certain applications plus a volume control button, mute, rewind, fast forward, next track, previous track, pause/play, stop, open media player, back, and go. There is also a scroll wheel on the keyboard. The mouse has four buttons and one scroll wheel.

Not for the Absent Minded.......2002-06-21

This combo works just fine as a mouse and keyboard. However, I ended up replacing my original in a very short period of time because I kept dropping the mouse off the edge of my desk. The mouse was sturdy but it could only take so much abuse before it went to mousie heaven.

The other problem I had was a tendency to wander away from the desk while holding the mouse. Later, after a half hour of frantic searching, I would find it on the file cabinet, in my pocket, in my brief case. It was harder to keep up with than my ink pens.

I eventually bought a wireless Stealth keyboard with a pointing device built in and have had it for the last two years without a problem.

6 feet more like 20.......2001-09-04

When I was in the store I looked at the 6 foot radius this device was supposed to have , and I did not think it would be enough space for me to do what I wanted to do. Guess what even though the box says 6 feet it is seriously more like 20 or so feet. Comparing it to other products you will find there is nothing this good this cheap on the market today to compete. The intel setup looks pretty good , but it is much more money, and the wireless hub is much bigger then the logitech hub. This is the device to have , kudos to logitech.

One thing to watch out for is the connect button on the hub. If you press that button you have to take the batteries out of the mouse for it to work again.

at last....FREEDOM!.......2001-05-31

I rec'd my Logitech Cordless Freedom pack today. Hooked it up immed. Loved it from the get-go! This product is great for those who like to sit back and relax while working on the computer. Gone are the days of hunching over the desk typing or mousing around websites.

I found the range of the keyboard and mouse to be more than 20 feet though I would have settled for 6. With the unexpected distance achieved I'm eager to buy a 19-21" monitor.

If you are undecided, put your fears to rest and buy this set. You will love it too.

A good product, better value buying the combo........2001-02-24

Why buy a wireless mouse and keyboard separately? Makes no sense, and Logitech offers this great solution. The product has tremendous range. I live in an apartment and can type in the living room and the receiver receives the info flawlessly. Walls don't seem to be a problem at all. It is great if you like to lay down while typing. I use it for copying reports that I hand write first and it is nice not to have to sit at the computer staring at the monitor.

Drawbacks... well if you are a visual person like me, you need to look at the screen anyways and it is hard to type in a different room and not know what is going through or what errors you are making. As Office 2000 and Word 2000 gets better with its auto corrections, it will improve my comfort level with the remote abilities of this product. Also, the product uses batteries, which I am not entirely comfortable with, but it needs power from somewhere!

Logitech Cordless Freedom Keybpard & mouse.......2002-12-11

...At first i was skeptical in purchasing a cordless keyboard system. My keyboard was old, and some of the keys were sticking, so i thought i would give it a try. I have a few other Logitech brand items that I am happy with, so when I saw this keyboard, i thought I would try it...WOWOWOW!! Am I happy I did!! It is very easy to set up and install, and the battery life is wonderful!! I have owned this product for over 3 months and have just recently installed a new mouse battery, which is great with 3 kids always using it! The mouse and keyboard are very precise! No lagging, or dragging with the mouse...It is very acurate!
..I am so happy with this I just purchased another one as a Christmas gift for a friend!..I would highly recommend this product! No tangled or "too short" cords & cables, and the range is a really good ten feet!!..not to mention the price! which I thought to very good for the value of the product!!

This is the greatest!!!!.......2002-11-19

I have owned one of these sets for over a year and cannot say enough about them. The mouse and keyboard are the ultimate in convience and adaptability. I have changed the batteries in the mouse once and not at all in the keyboard and I use them both everyday. I also find the use range to be greater than 6 feet and have been 8 to 10 feet away from the base and have not had any trouble with either unit. I am running Window's ME and have also run W95 with the same results. Due to space restrictions my monitor sits on a angle on my desk and being able to move the mouse and keyboard without any restrictions or tangling of wires is great. This is a great product and I could never see going back to a wired mouse or keyboard.
