Right now I use the logitech G7 and USB overdrive on my iMac it works fine and thats what I'll keep using, but I'll get the Mac lazer mouse when this one dies.]]>Jun 13th 2006 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/

Also, what is with these crazy mice. You need to have alien hands to use them. All these sharp edges running against my palm is NOT comfy. Go back to basics and make them oval again, those were so comfy and fit everyones hands. Ergonomic, my ass.

If these are being targeted towards new users, the last thing you want is to complicate things with a dongle or adapter. Just use Bluetooth.]]>Jun 13th 2006 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Jun 13th 2006 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/
I used the extra media keys pretty often on my older Logitech keyboard, but I hated how big and funny-shaped they made the keyboard. I think the design of this keyboard is nice, with the extra buttons being fairly unobtrusive. I'd probably buy it in a second, but for the stupid stupid lack of Bluetooth.]]>Jun 13th 2006 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Jun 13th 2006 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/
Look for those Universal Binary drivers again - they have been out for the last month or so. I bought one of these sets with my Core Duo iMac a few months back, and the thing is fantastic! Matches the computer perfectly, and for those complaining about it not having BT, forget about that. The wireless USB receiver is about the same size as a USB Memory Key, and it just plugs right into the BACK of the computer, where it is out of sight, no cables or anything.

Now those with MacBooks, I can see why you wouldn't want that thing sticking out the side...but all in all, it is a great keyboard. Plus, it works perfectly with Windows XP, which is good for when I switch back and forth with BootCamp...

How did this slip through the cracks?

NO DIGGGGGGG :-P]]>Jun 13th 2006 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/
Thanks so much for making this white, Logitech (unlike certain Microsoft desktop sets *coughbuttfuglycolourschemecough*), and personally, I would probably find myself using some of the media keys (hey, they're there), but yeah wow, no Bluetooth. Get with the 21st century, guys. It's not like Macs come with an abundance of USB ports...and some of us are too lazy and/or poor to get a hub. This set may as well be wired if it takes up a USB port, y'know?]]>Jun 13th 2006 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/If i'm not mistaken, bootcamp required a wired mouse and keyboard b/c of unmatched bluetooth drivers or something. My wired desktop was packed up and gone and even though i was initally bummed out with the lack of bluetooth, the RF proved worthwhile as it allowed the set up to go on without a hitch.
Also, RF uses less power than bluetooth which has meant fewer recharges.]]>Jun 13th 2006 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Jun 13th 2006 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/
Who cares if its been out a few months, there are thousands of gadgets released every month and engadget cannot possibly cover them all.

You lot are just too picky ;)

You need to look up the definition of "ergonomic."

That keyboard has horrible ergonomics.]]>Jun 13th 2006 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Jun 14th 2006 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Jun 14th 2006 4:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/
While i'd love to be able to grab the mouse and take it with me bluetooth style, i only use the set at home, so plugging the USB in is no big deal, it's actually plugged into an extra USB port on my USB HDD..

I love how people are so quick to yell "it's not Universal!" when they haven't checked to see if the software has been updated ever..
These must be the people who only have an AM radio because "there are no FM radio stations anyway, why would you waste your money?"

to be clear, yes, it's universal, and works perfectly.]]>Jun 14th 2006 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/
I didn't know about it, so, thanks Engadget. Looks sweet.]]>Jun 14th 2006 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/
Does anyone have any input on how this keyboard feels and sounds when being used. I am trying to find a keyboard that has low-set keys that are easy to press and don't make much noise. (unlike the the Microsoft keyboard I am using right now that sounds like someone performing a tap dance routine).

Thanks]]>Jun 14th 2006 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Jun 19th 2006 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Oct 27th 2006 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/13/logitechs-new-cordless-desktop-s-530-laser-for-mac/Oct 27th 2006 9:47AM
