Hmm, never had any trouble with the Logitech keyboard, it's always connected and I love the feel of it. That said, it's way overpriced like you mentioned. I think Logitech realized it too since they now have that other keyboard that looks extremely similar at a much lower price.
I think Logitech is overrated, I've loved their mice but sometimes they suck, their drivers really suck and that ****ing batter issue with the Revolution just kills me. I've had three Revolutions die on me, the last one I was smart enough to keep the receipt and return it for one that actually seems perfect.
The
SpacePilot Pro is my current wet dream gadget. $10 says the drivers still blow on it though. $20 says I buy the damn thing at SIGGRAPH.
I'd kill for it to work in games like Sins of a Solar Empire or any similar game and I'd love to try it in an FPS, so precise.
