2 out of 5 stars Needs overhaul   July 5, 2008

I purchased the Logitech S530 for MAC even after reading a few negative reviews. I wanted to give Logitech the benefit of the doubt. I did what several reviewers suggested and downloaded the software from Logitech;s website rather than using the CD. Almost immediately, some keys became "dead" using Microsoft Word 2004 for MAC. The keyboard worked ok while not in Word. Also the absence of an indicator for the caps key is disconcerting. I've returned to the trusty Apple keyboard!


5 out of 5 stars Better than the original cordless   June 29, 2008

I wanted a cordless keyboard, but missed the numeric keyboard that came from Apple. I never liked the Apple mouse, and have been using my Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel. Have not really used the mouse that comes with the S530, but it is okay. The keyboard works fine. Lots of quick launch buttons that can be easily programed. Only real disadvantage is you have to use one of the 3 USB ports on the back of the iMac for the transmitter. Also, to set up the software, you need to download the newest version from the Logitech web site, but that was easy. All the controls for all logitech products are now found in the System Preferences of the Mac . They are listed on the bottom as "other" and it is called Logitech Control Center. That works great and you can set up all your Logitech devices easily. Overall, although it is hard to get excited about a keyboard, I have been very happy, and I am glad I bought it.


2 out of 5 stars Mushy and innacurate.   June 19, 2008

I purchased a Mac last week switching from a Dell PC. I wanted a more PC like keyboard and mouse for my Mac. After trying the keyboard I found the keys to be mushy and very unresponsive. It also had a very cheap feel to it, very unlike Logitech. The mouse also was uncomfortable to use the side buttons. I found it to be innacurate in its tracking. Stick with the keyboard and mouse that comes with the Mac.


4 out of 5 stars Great replacement but Logitech needs to work on it   June 13, 2008

I really hated the keyboard and mouse that came w/my iMac. I've been a Logitech user for years on my PC and love them. One of the first things I always do when getting a new PC is to swap out the cheapie keyboard and mouse that comes w/them to my Logitech cordless desktop.

Although the Mac version a a great site better than what came w/the iMac it's not up to the standards that the PC versions of the cordless desktop is. The mouse is fine but the keyboard seems to be more cheaply made and there is no indicator for when upper/lower case is in use. I miss that a lot. I would buy it again, but Logitech still needs to perfect this one.

I am happy that I no longer need my gel wrist rest because what comes on the Mac keyboard is better than what comes on the PC keyboard.
