I had a hell of a time setting up the keyboard/mouse combo on my girlfriend's PC. Not only was it a pain that XPSP1 was required, they didn't make it particularly easy to get to particular BT component you needed.
Other than that, I somewhat like the BT keyboard, though (once it works). The feel is incredible, and yeah, the layout is different, but I certainly wouldn't say it's worse. For example, there's the double-sized delete key. I like that. They also got rid of the annoying insert key, which most people never use and always hit accidentally. Lastly, the home and end insert keys are in more logical positions.
Anyway, I'd agree overall. The products are highly annoying. They make me appreciate Logitech even more. Their cordless mouseman optical suites me perfectly, and I picked up a basic Logitech wireless keyboard at Best Buy for $40. Excellent.
