Bottom Line:: Pricey input devices often feel more like luxuries than necessities. Logitech's new Cordless Desktop MX3200 Laser set not only has public safety in mind, with its cleanliness-inducing surface treatment, it also looks great and is loaded with features. Not all of them are useful, but none are offensive. Recommended for high-traffic PCs.

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3200 Laser

price range: $74.95 - $113.43

Reviewed by: Rich Brown
Edited by: Matthew Elliott
Reviewed on: 10/18/2006
Released on: 10/16/2006

The good: AgION antimicrobial coating helps keep the keyboard and the mouse disinfected; Zero Tilt design on the keyboard reduces wrist strain; feature-filled keyboard and mouse; sleek looks.

The bad: One hundred dollars might be more than you want to spend on a mouse and a keyboard.

The bottom line: Pricey input devices often feel more like luxuries than necessities. Logitech's new Cordless Desktop MX3200 Laser set not only has public safety in mind, with its cleanliness-inducing surface treatment, it also looks great and is loaded with features. Not all of them are useful, but none are offensive. Recommended for high-traffic PCs.

It's not news that your mouse and keyboard are among the more disgusting technology objects out there. Come on, you know where your hands have been. Now consider that they went from there to resting on your keyboard everyday, sometimes for hours. Throw in the festering microgloblets of that chicken salad from last night's World of Warcraft session, and it's easy to imagine your keyboard as a bustling micropolis of bacteria and grime. As a developer of mice and keyboards, Logitech is keenly aware of the situation. Its prescription? The Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3200. This sharp-looking, $100 wireless keyboard-and-laser-mouse set comes coated with something called the AgION microbial compound, which is supposed to neutralize organic growth. It also happens to be a pretty nice set of input devices. One hundred dollars might seem like a lot, but we think the combination of Logitech's excellent design and the health-conscious treatment make this set a winner, especially for multiuser PCs.

To find out more about AgION, we suggest checking out the Web site of AgION Technologies. There you'll find various information materials. Short of taking our own cultures (our lab kit's all out of swabs), we're heartened by AgION's seeming wide acceptance by a number of other companies. Adidas, Du Pont, Motorola, and a number of appliance manufacturers, among others, are onboard with AgION's compound. That mass acceptance indicates to us that if the stuff doesn't work, a lot of companies have been taken for a ride. So without really being able to perform tests ourselves, we're choosing to believe that the AgION compound is for real. A family PC or a multiuser workstation would be a natural match for this keyboard set.

As to the quality of the devices, we've used the keyboard and mouse for a week or so now, and we have to say that we're impressed. Installation is easy: You simply attach the USB wireless receiver to your PC, install the software, and you're set. We didn't even have to endure a pairing process to get the keyboard and the mouse to find the receiver and for the PC to recognize them. The included Logitech software lets you make various customizations to button assignments and to the mouse's sensitivity, and it's all very intuitive and easy to use. The keyboard controls even have a feature that lets you secure yourself against keyloggers, which is useful, although it might irritate your IT guy.

The keyboard incorporates Logitech's Zero Tilt design, which means that it sits flat on your desk and doesn't require you to bend your wrists. The keyboard has feet in the back, so you can angle it up if you'd like, but we adjusted quickly to the flat design, and our wrists really do feel less tired after a day in the office. The keys themselves aren't noisy when you press them, and the tactile response feels firm without seeming "clacky."

Along with the standard media-control and application hot keys, Logitech incorporates a few unique features with the MX3200's keyboard. On the left side, you'll find a touch-sensitive zoom bar that lets you move in and out of an image or reduce or enlarge your font size. We found that it works in many common Windows applications, as well as with Firefox. If you spend a lot of time working with images or perhaps formatting word documents for printing, you'll find this feature useful, but many people probably wouldn't bother with it much. Logitech has also added VoIP hot keys for opening your VoIP application of choice, as well as for answering and ending calls. A small LCD screen on the top of the keyboard displays the date and time.

The mouse that comes with this set is a useful laser mouse. It has two main buttons, a tilting scrollwheel for navigating sideways in a document, as well as up and down; forward and backward thumb buttons; and a zooming rocker switch and search engine hot button along the left edge. It also features a battery indicator light, and Logitech throws in six AA batteries to power the whole set.

Summary: This is a great product from Logitech. I have had it about 6 weeks, with no problems. The 2.4 MHz wireless link is flawless. The mouse is very well designed and feels great. The keyboard has many features, and is ready for Microsoft Vista. The keys have a good feel, and the keyboard lays flat, very comfortable. Everything is high quality. I have the Logitech 880 Harmony TV Remote, and it works great. That led me to the MX3200. I highly recommend it.

Summary: im not going to lie, $100 is a little pricey for a wireless keyboard and mouse... but this is worth every penny of it. ive only had it for a weekend and have gotten alot of compliments from my friends. the keys feel comfy and the design is very sleek. installation is a breeze since its all just plug n play. overall my opinion is that if you have the money to spend, go for it! but if not then buy something cheaper thatll do the same thing. for $100, youre really buying the design and coolness.

Best keyboard and mouse I've ever owned.

by Jbnkr on October 31, 2007

Pros: Very nice smooth touch. Programable hot keys and mouse buttons are great.

Cons: Downloading and installing drivers proved challenging in a secure network environment.

Summary: I'm not sure what the complaints are about. I've had mine for about 4 months and replaced the battery on the mouse for the first time last week after using it all day every day at work. I've never had to reconnect even when replacing the battery. I can use the mouse and keyboard three rooms away (framed walls not cubicles), although I'm not sure why you would need to. I haven't experienced the mouse lag that has been referenced, although I do on my other wireless combo. The programable hot keys are a great compliment to the windows operating system and multiple buttons on the mouse are very useful. The keyboard has the smoothest touch of any I've ever owned. I bought mine as a refurbished unit so it cost less than most. I'm considering buying additional MX3200 combos for my other computers. I've never been disatisfied with anything I've bought from Logitech.

Summary: Real problems with setpoint software no matter how many install/uninstalls I tried. Combo lacks many features I found necessary/no indicators for Num Lock; keyboard adjustment uncomfortable; eratic mouse functions etc. Logitech support supervisor was rude and less than helpful with unethical suggestions. Too many problems to keep duo; they agreed to replace it with the same or one of lesser value but in order to do so I needed to return it via mail to Logitech. I would be without a mouse & KB until my replacement arrived..too bad for me; Logitech support supervisor Jason suggested I go to local store & purchase a cheap one to use until the replacement arrived...then return the cheap one to the store! I said that sounded UNETHICAL but he said he suggests that to all of their customers..of which I am NO LONGER one(sad because Logitech was all I ever used before) Pretty tacky...don't buy the MX3200 unless you need to raise your blood pressure.

Summary: I tried this keyboard thinking wireless might have advanced since the last time I attempted to use a wireless mouse. Indeed it has, but the split second latency disturbed me. That said, I work on computers around 12 hours a day and type fast, thus, the keyboard latency was killer and annoying...and the mouse latency meant that interaction with the computer was slightly randomized and unpredictable.

Now, I'm talking about split second...the kind most people probably will never notice, but for "power users" or someone who works for a long time at a computer, this keyboard and mouse is a bad choice. I would first say to stick with wired as I have yet to use a wireless solution that doesn't have this problem to some degree.

Other than that I have heard good things about the Microsoft wireless workstation 6000. I myself am going wired with a kinesis contour keyboard and some simple mouse.

Frustrating and would not buy again

Summary: The first Logitech keyboard came with my new Dell computer and with the first one they sent I had several of the letters wear off in less than a year. Dell sent me the mx3200 to replace it and now it's been less than a year and I have 7 letters that have worn off completely.
The remote mouse started to repeat itself automatically on the period and the forward slash. When I called the company, they sent me a very involved "fix" that turned out to be more trouble than it was worth.
I would not ever purchase this product. It's very frustrating.

Summary: I had an older Logitech unit with EXACTLY the same configuration as the one shown which I used on a PC which crapped out. Then I got a lovely new HP Pavilion a6212n which came with that awful Windows Vista.
Anyway, the HP keyboard gave me a case of painful wrists after two months, so I dug the Logitech unit out of storage and fired it up. It worked great except for a message that kept urging me to upgrade for some additional line of software or two. So I went on line to Logitech.
As they say in Brooklyn, FUGGEDABOUDDIT. Their "on line" is in INDIA and English is a second or third language. They advised me to download software for a keyboard which in NO WAY resembled my keyboard DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD TO INPUT MY SERIAL NUMBER AND MODEL NUMBER TO EVEN GET TO THE TECH SUPPORT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
The ePinions place is also NOT the place to utter a complaint, either, I found out since Logitech is A SPONSOR and ADVERTISES! So if you have a complaint, somehow any attempt at "dissing" Logitech goes nowhere.
As they say right here; "Been there, done that."
On the other hand, the keyboard is GREAT, it's just that their tech support is EXECRABLE.

Perfect Keyboard and Mouse

Summary: I love this key board! It has all the buttons you need an non you dont. Expect maybe for the VoIP button but you can program to do something else. The touch zoom thing on the side works very well. Then you touch the 100% to go right back to default, 100. short cuts to search, pics, word, excel, outlook, media player, and more. Get it.

Summary: Transmitter is unobtrusive in stature, shape and color. The hot keys are easy to customize, but the features are plug and play so it's a no brainer for any tech level. Very easy install. Loved that the batteries were included. Got this set for about $80 at Circuit City 2/16/07 and am very happy with its performance. When you write for a living, your tools are important. Tempted to award this combo a 10.

Summary: I could live with the lack of a good user guide or the keys sticking as the MX3200 really works well as a wireless battery unit.

However, poor engineering and inadequate support is another issue. The MX3200 keyboard has a set of plastic feet (stands) that can raise the keyboard or be retracted to let it lay flat. The first time you see them you know that trouble is just one adjustment away.

After 4 - 6 months, one of the feet broke. I called Logitech support and was told the only way they could fix the problem was to replace the unit but I would need a receipt. Who keeps receipts?

I offered to pay for the replacement feet - small plastic parts that should cost 25 cents each but I would be willing to pay $10 just to get my keyboard adjustment back.

Sorry - we don't stock the feet says Logitech support but we will have a supervisor call you within 24 hours. I never heard from a supervisor.

My view is this is an obvious engineering miss and Logitech should have a bin of these small parts to compensate for the engineering miss.

With the lack of Logitech support follow-up and the engineering issues, this keyboard is now worthless to me. I think I'll be looking at the Microsoft products to see if they are engineered any better.
