Logitech MX5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop Review
When it comes to computer upgrades, nothing provides a more visceral impact than a new keyboard and mouse. These essential input devices have come along way since the early days, yet still companies are finding innovative features to add. Logitech, well-known makers of peripheral devices, has developed a new keyboard/mouse combo, the Logitech MX550 Revolution Cordless Desktop. Will this combo live up to its name as a revolutionary product? That is what we’re here to find out in this review.
About Logitech:
Focused on innovation and quality, Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the digital world. We started in 1981 with mice, which (new at the time) provided a more intuitive way of interacting with a personal computer. We became the worldwide leader in computer mice, and have reinvented the mouse in dozens of ways to match the evolving needs of PC and laptop users.

Since those early days, we have expanded our expertise in product design beyond the computer mouse, with a broad portfolio of interface devices that are the “last inch” between you and your computer or your console game, digital music or home-entertainment system.
With products sold in almost every country in the world, Logitech’s leadership in innovation now encompasses a wide variety of personal peripherals (both cordless and corded), with special emphasis on products for PC navigation, gaming, Internet communications, digital music and home-entertainment control.
For each of our product categories, we study how our customers use their digital devices, and then our designers and engineers set their sights on how we can create a better experience with those devices – richer, more comfortable, more fun, more productive, more convenient, more delightful.

The Logitech MX5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop arrived well-packaged in a colorful box displaying the keyboard/mouse combo on the front. The sides and rear of the package provide a list of features/specifications, which this product has a ton of. A couple of ones that stand out are the Bluetooth connectivity (comes with a Bluetooth USB receiver) and the integrated LCD. More on those later.

Opening the package, we find the combo nestled snuggly inside a custom plastic insert, with all the important components bagged in ESD bags. The packaging is typically one good indicator of a high-quality product; judging from the packaging alone, the MX5500 is indeed top-notch. Along with the keyboard and mouse, the package contains an instruction manual, installation software, a charging station, Bluetooth USB receiver, and 4 AA batteries.
