My beloved Logitech MX1000 finally died. Some wouldcurse and suggest that it can't have been so great a quality mouse, but I know the amount of abuse it got and the pleasure it was to use for two years represented value for money. As luck would have it, one of my wifes' friends managed to spill an entire glass of wine over my keyboard on the same weekend the MX1000 finally gave up the ghost, so it was time to replace both.

We all make mistakes, but I've never made a mistake by buying something with a Logitech badge on it. Until now....

Enter the MX3200 keyboard & mouse combo. It looked like an ideal choice and I was desperate enough not to have the patience and buy mail order/internet to save money and rushed right down to PC World to pick one up.

Firstly, the mouse. It's good, although nothing like as good as the MX1000. Works fine but feels a bit cheap.

THE KEYBOARD. My God, the keyboard. The keys feel like something you'd expect on a $5 purchase. I could forgive that, but Logitech have (as far as I'm concerned) made a fatal design flaw in this keyboard. You cannot press down the "W", "A" and spacebar keys simultaneously. This will mean nothing to some, but for anyone playing FPS games (Quake for me) it renders the keyboard useless. A total waste of money. Sadly I've read some reviews of this keyboard and hardware sites are "recommending" it, including recommending it to gamers. Don't be fooled - it's rubbish!
