Review on Logitech Cordless Revolution Bluetooth Keyboard by Wiktor Sakowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not all that bad, but there are minuses.

The kit is good in everything, and very comfortable, despite minor flaws! But, objectively!. connection instability (not only on my one set), and premature failure of the mouse cross out many (if not all) of the pluses of this set. Especially for such money, especially from such a manufacturer . Got pros: 1. Keyboard: ergonomic, functional, many customizable keys, nice materials. The multifunctional display shows the playing song, time, date, room temperature, keyboard "mileage", calculator. For almost two years of average home use, I installed the third set of batteries, which is quite a bit. The volume of the keys is extremely acceptable in silence, during use the sound of pressing did not increase at all. The key markings are durable and won't rub off, even on frequently used WASDs. 2. Mouse: excellent anatomical shape; customizable buttons; rubberized sidewalls; scroll wheel with two rotation options (with clicks and free rotation, the second - to scroll large general text in one motion). For games, it is very, very acceptable, not to mention the usual user work. Also, one of the advantages is the very easy connectivity of the kit, even without special software and an adapter included in the kit (the first is applicable for Win8, Win8.1., the second - if the computer supports Bluetooth hardware). Cons: The main disadvantage of the kit is the instability of the connection to the computer. Periodically, it can even fall off several times a day, well, or at other intervals - as you please. There are long periods when there are no such problems. You can understand if this was the problem of one such kit, but I have two of them in my family, and they were used on three computers (Win7, Win8, Win8.1., all 64-bit) - two laptops and one station. Neither ating the software, nor using (or not using) complete BT adapters, nor reinstalling drivers and software, nor technical support, with which I still correspond on instability issues, help. Here are the components of the kit: 1. After half a year of using the keyboard, it began to creak, even without using the footboards. These squeaks occur when one or both hands are placed on the rubberized block below the letter keys. The sound of creaking and crunching is loud and annoying. Accordingly, it is better to keep your hands hanging, but they quickly get tired when typing large texts. 2. After almost a year of using the mouse, the scroll wheel began to "fall through" into the free rotation mode (i. E., without clicking), which was extremely annoying in those cases when the scroll wheel required page positioning accuracy, etc. Such failures magically eliminated themselves, but then periodically reappeared. 04.02. the mouse is completely out of order, and this despite careful use (less than two years). Various reinstallations, reboots and other restorative manipulations with the mouse do not lead to its performance. It is not even identified when searching as an unknown device. When the mouse is on, the red battery indicator light is constantly on with two bars. When charging (including long-term), the indicator does not change either in color or in the number of divisions.
