So I had to go out and grab another wireless desktop set for my PC. Microsoft offers some great &lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductList.aspx?Type=Keyboard&amp;amp;AdditionalType=Sets&amp;amp;feature1=wireless_All" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductList.aspx?Type=Keyboard&amp;amp;AdditionalType=Sets&amp;amp;feature1=wireless_All"&gt;wireless desktop sets&lt;/A&gt; but I decided to go with Logitech's &lt;A href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/145&amp;amp;cl=us,en" mce_href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/145&amp;amp;cl=us,en"&gt;Cordless Desktop S 510&lt;/A&gt;. 
&lt;P&gt;The Logitech Cordless Desktop S 510 is &lt;B&gt;Certified for Windows Vista&lt;/B&gt; and has some great features:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;B&gt;Fast&lt;/B&gt; 27 MHz wireless performance.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;B&gt;Programmable F-Keys&lt;/B&gt; that can be set to open favorite applications, websites, or files.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;B&gt;One-Touch Controls&lt;/B&gt; that let you access music, video, volume, email, and the Internet.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;B&gt;Power Management&lt;/B&gt; lets you go longer with a low-battery light and auto-off.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;B&gt;Tilt Wheel plus Zoom&lt;/B&gt; allows you to go side to side or in and out on photos, websites or even spreadsheets. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I took some Unboxing shots to share.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;The design of the keyboard is light, thin and simple which is really great. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A title="Logitech close-up on S 510 by brandonleblanc, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bleblanc/2263847666/"&gt;&lt;IMG height=67 alt="Logitech close-up on S 510" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2104/2263847666_b368443282_t.jpg" width=100&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;A title="The S 510 = thin by brandonleblanc, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bleblanc/2263848042/"&gt;&lt;IMG height=67 alt="The S 510 = thin" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2127/2263848042_d2ec7934f8_t.jpg" width=100&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;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. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A title="Zoom and Internet Controls on the S 510 Keyboard by brandonleblanc, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bleblanc/2263848582/"&gt;&lt;IMG height=67 alt="Zoom and Internet Controls on the S 510 Keyboard" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2014/2263848582_69d52f8f71_t.jpg" width=100&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;A title="Volume controls on the S 510 Keyboard by brandonleblanc, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bleblanc/2263059935/"&gt;&lt;IMG height=67 alt="Volume controls on the S 510 Keyboard" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2342/2263059935_b80cb27375_t.jpg" width=100&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;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. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A title="The S 510 Mouse by brandonleblanc, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bleblanc/2263849632/"&gt;&lt;IMG height=67 alt="The S 510 Mouse" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2094/2263849632_ba0bd7a2c7_t.jpg" width=100&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;A title="Wireless Receiver for the S 510 by brandonleblanc, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bleblanc/2263847052/"&gt;&lt;IMG height=67 alt="Wireless Receiver for the S 510" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2084/2263847052_8d8a768830_t.jpg" width=100&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Overall, I'm really happy with my decision to go with Logitech's Cordless Desktop S 510. Logitech also has a &lt;A href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?crid=vista/productivity&amp;amp;cl=us,en" mce_href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?crid=vista/productivity&amp;amp;cl=us,en"&gt;really neat website&lt;/A&gt; for their Certified for Windows Vista products worth checking out. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://windowsteamblog.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=494371" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Windows+Vista/default.aspx">Windows Vista</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Featured+News/default.aspx">Featured News</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Certified+for+Windows+Vista/default.aspx">Certified for Windows Vista</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Wireless/default.aspx">Wireless</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Logitech/default.aspx">Logitech</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Keyboard/default.aspx">Keyboard</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Mouse/default.aspx">Mouse</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/tags/Logitech+Cordless+S+510/default.aspx">Logitech Cordless S 510</category></item></channel></rss>
