Summary: Works great, saves real estate
Comment: In the interest of reducing clutter, we went wireless with our desktop Apple G4. We've used this keyboard/mouse combo almost daily for exactly two years now, and it's been great. The volume controls are handy, but most of the other buttons surrounding the keyboard get little to no use at all. I just changed the mouse battery last month for the first time; I may have changed the keyboard battery a few months before that, but I can't recall. (Getting old.)
My only gripe is that the optical mouse won't work on our glass-on-black desktop without a pad (or a sheet of white paper). My wife stuck a brown fabric calendar holder/desk pad under it and it works fine, but it sort of blows the clean look we were going for.
I wanted a trackball mouse but the Logitech Optical Marble Mouse (USB/PS2) isn't available in a wireless version, so we tried the Logitech Cordless TrackMan Wheel. Neither one of us liked it, so we're back to the included optical mouse. I'd love to have a wireless Marble Mouse for our new setup, but my wife doesn't mind using the mouse (and it's not my computer anyway).

Summary: Not good for graphic design
Comment: The mouse is extremely heavy and has little to no accuracy. The maximum scroll ball speed is way too slow. I like the keyboard and have no problems with it but unfortunately, this is a mouse/keyboard combo product.
Do not buy this product if you need to use the mouse for graphics.

Summary: So far so good
Comment: I bought this keyboard & mouse set to control the media center I built out of a mac mini. So far they have worked without a hiccup from the moment I plugged them in last week. I like the feel of typing on the full sized keyboard much more than the one on my Macbook. I'm finding myself doing much more work on the living room television than on my laptop -- turns out I love having a 32" computer screen.
I'm giving four stars and not five right now just because it's only been a week. I'll come back in a month with an update.

Summary: Nice Keyboard & Mouse Combo
Comment: I've had the Logitech S530 combo for about a month and really enjoy the keyboard and the mouse is good too. The Keyboard feel is great, solid, but quiet keys and the mouse fits good too. I use a Logitech Wave keyboard at work on a XP machine and used the same keyboard/mouse before I got this one. I prefer the S530 mouse MUCH more then the one with the Wave, and the keyboard tactile feedback on the S530 is much more pleasant. I had no problems hooking this combo up to my 24" iMac. The one downer is the black USB dongle, should have been white to match the rest of the setup.

Summary: Fantastic Keyboard for the Everyday User
Comment: I am a college student and I own a MacBook Pro. I needed two things to help manage my workspace when not in the classroom: a separate monitor for viewing documents side-by-side and a keyboard/mouse combo for working with my notebook closed.
I already own a bluetooth mouse, an Apple mighty mouse, and had no need for a second mouse at home so I had previously counted this keyboard combo out. Eventually I "settled" with this Logitech keyboard because my mighty mouse's scroll ball decided to die on me. To be honest, I loved that mouse but it seems that most mighty mice encounter this problem eventually. Regardless, I bought the mouse along with VMware Fusion and they both arrived two days later.
I also own JBL's aluminum colored speakers and the aforementioned color goes well with the accents on the keyboard and mouse and my MBP.
Functionality of this keyboard could not be more flawless. The keys are well spaced for my medium sized hands; Logitech has beautifully crafted a keyboard that incorporates the comforting depth of full sized keyboard clicks without overdoing it, allowing me to type forever and accurately as if it were a notebook keyboard. The extra Mac-specific buttons surrounding the main keys are not just bonuses. I found that its much easier to adjust volume levels, launch frequently used apps, and navigat web pages, documents, spread sheets, and photo albums with either hand whether it be from the keyboard or the mouse itself.
As to the mouse, I fell in love with it the very first time I used it to raise the volume of my music with a simple click of my index finger. I know that this is not a real evolution in the would of desktop mice but I was used to using a trackpad in conjunction with function keys to get the job done. To be honest, this keyboard/mouse combo has really helped me enjoy working at a desk. I don't like to be tied down to one spot but these two peripherals have really changed my entire perspective.
I recommend this keyboard/mouse set greatly, to anyone. My productivity has increased and I can manage all of my apps with the simplest of ease.
Of note, and the reason I gave this product a 4 out 5 regardless of my glowing review, is because Logitech's driver (the Logitech Control Center) albeit fantastic for meticulously adjusting each button's function is needed for most of the mac specific buttons around the keyboard, does not work with World of Warcraft. While World of Warcraft is running, using the scroll wheel will cause the cursor to jump to the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Plus, it is impossible to map key functions in game while the LCC is installed.
I know, I know, this seems like a completely ridiculous reason to dock the item an entire star. However,I initially enjoyed Logitech's software. In fact, I think a big part of the appeal or not of input devices can be attributed to their proprietary drivers. Many, many people play games; ten million people play WoW. I had to completely uninstall the Logitech Control Center which also helped manage my travel mouse (the VX Nano, another fantastic mouse) so I feel really jipped by Logitech for overlooking a weird glitch with their software.
Otherwise, I'm thrilled with their product. Buy it. Even if you play WoW, it's totally worth it. Get it, use it, make you're life easier and you might actually do you're homework. I know i've thought about it.
