This desktop duo of the Logitech Wave keyboard and MX 1100 mouse do well in reviews. Experts note that it's unusual to have a good keyboard and good mouse paired together. The Logitech MX 1100 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 MX 1100 mouse is not nearly so ubiquitous. The Wave keyboard is a reviewer favorite. It's not quite ergonomic and therefore doesn't have a steep learning curve, but it is more comfortable than the average plank keyboard. The keys are responsive and the model performs well overall.
ExtremeTech.com is the only reviewer we found that reviews the Wave Pro duo, the set that includes the Wave keyboard and MX 1100 mouse. Jeremy Atkinson uses a series of tests to determine their quality and writes a comprehensive, balanced, comparative review of the set. DigitalTrends.com, TrustedReviews.com and HardwareLogic.com all review the Wave keyboard.

Justin Yu calls the Desktop Wave Pro "one of the best mouse and keyboard packages on the market," praising its comfortable design and customizable features. In a separate review, the accompanying mouse, the MX 1100 receives an Editors' Choice award.
Review: Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro, Justin Yu, Oct. 20, 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 Josh Norem dislikes the key feel and is disappointed to be unable to find advertised Vista-compatible convenience functions. He rates the keyboard a 7.5 out of 10.

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.

This Wave set, like the one reviewed by DigitalTrends.com, 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.
