Unboxing Logitech’s Cordless Desktop S 510

A couple of days ago, my old wireless desktop set (mouse and keyboard) had its receiver die on me. So I had to go out and grab another wireless desktop set for my PC. Microsoft offers some great wireless desktop sets but I decided to go with Logitech's Cordless Desktop S 510.

The Logitech Cordless Desktop S 510 is Certified for Windows Vista and has some great features:

  • Fast 27 MHz wireless performance.
  • Programmable F-Keys that can be set to open favorite applications, websites, or files.
  • One-Touch Controls that let you access music, video, volume, email, and the Internet.
  • Power Management lets you go longer with a low-battery light and auto-off.
  • Tilt Wheel plus Zoom allows you to go side to side or in and out on photos, websites or even spreadsheets.

I took some Unboxing shots to share.

The design of the keyboard is light, thin and simple which is really great.

I see a lot of keyboards with their One-Touch Controls on the top of the keyboard - the S 510 keyboard has the One-Touch Controls on the sides. Volume (music) controls are on the right and on the left is the zoom, internet and sleep/hibernate controls.

The mouse is pretty basic but has the great Tilt Wheel plus Zoom feature that lets me scroll side-to-side instead of just up and down. This is really useful. The Wireless Receiver for the S 510 is made in semi-transparent plastic giving a really interesting effect as you can see inside to the circuit board.

Overall, I'm really happy with my decision to go with Logitech's Cordless Desktop S 510. Logitech also has a really neat website for their Certified for Windows Vista products worth checking out.

    Hi chakkaradeep

    Yes I really like the Instant Viewer its actually part of the latest Intellimouse software package.

    I have an old Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 Mouse and downloaded the latest software from Microsofts site.  The Instant Viewer and the magnifier features are both really useful, and work in either XP and Vista.

    The instant viewer is a real nice feature, not sure why it wasnt a Vista feature, the Microsoft Mouse team should be congratulated for making great software for their great mice.
