This desktop duo of the Logitech Wave keyboard and MX1100 mouse do well in reviews; experts note that it's unusual to have a good keyboard and good mouse paired together. The Logitech MX1100 wireless mouse is not reviewed as often as the Wave cordless keyboard, since the Wave keyboard can be found in multiple desktop sets and the MX1100 mouse is not nearly so ubiquitous. When it is reviewed, though, it comes out favorably. The Wave keyboard is a reviewer favorite; it's not quite ergonomic and therefore doesn't have a steep learning curve, but is more comfortable than the average plank keyboard. The keys are responsive and the model performs well overall.
ExtremeTech is the only reviewer we found that reviews the Wave Pro duo, the set that includes the Wave keyboard and MX1100 mouse. Jeremy Atkinson uses a series of tests to determine their quality and writes a comprehensive, balanced, comparative review of the set. Digital Trends, Trusted Reviews and Hardware Logic all review the Wave keyboard.

Atkinson points out that keyboard-and-mouse desktop sets are not always a great deal, with one peripheral often much superior to the other. In the end, he is pleased with the performance of the Logitech desktop set, giving the duo a rating of four out of five.
Review: Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro Review, Jeremy Atkinson, Sept. 12, 2008
This review covers a lower-market Wave keyboard-and-mouse set; the keyboard is the same one bundled in the Wave Pro package, but the mouse is different. The curved design is described as comfortable, but Norem dislikes the key feel, and was disappointed to be unable to find advertised Vista-compatible convenience functions. He rates the keyboard 7.5/10.
Review: Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Review, Josh Norem, Aug. 19, 2007
This single-product review examines the Wave keyboard alone, without the accompanying mouse included in the Wave Pro package. Andy Vandervell assesses the layout and not-quite-ergonomic design of the Wave keyboard; his testing is not described, but he provides ample subjective feedback on the performance of the keyboard.
Review: Logitech Wave Keyboard Review, Andy Vandervell, April 4, 2008
This Wave set, like the one reviewed by Digital Trends, includes a lower-market mouse than the Wave Pro set. The Wave keyboard fares very well in this review, however, with Blake Terhune praising convenience features such as the multimedia and hot keys, the comfortable keyboard design and the performance of the keys.
