I currently own the Cordless Desktop Pro and recently bought one of the new Laser wireless desktop sets for my mom, as I am a Logitech fan.

However, the Alto cordless fails in a big way at two of its claims: cordless capability and the USB hub.

The cordless is simply horrible. Sometimes (2-3 times per page of text), while typing, the keyboard will stop responding and will instead clone the last letter multiple times, e.g. baddddddddddddddddddd

Regarding the USB, I connect a USB corded mouse and a Blackberry phone to the keyboard. When my laptop goes into a low-power mode (not sleep or standby, just a lower-power mode), it seems that the USB connection breaks and needs resetting. In order to reset, I have to shutdown my laptop and power-down the Alto. I think it may be a compatibility issue with Vista Business. It has caused blue screens once in a while.

If Logitech would give me a decent trade-in opportunity to get this out of my hands, I would take it in a heartbeat. Otherwise, I am stuck until I decide to spend bucks to find a replacement.

If your notebook has Bluetooth you can get a Bluetooth mouse so you won't have to use a USB adapter for your wireless mouse.

You could put your notebook off to the side, but it'd still need to be plugged in, which would be kind of a mess. I'd suggest getting a wireless keyboard instead of this stand/wireless keyboard combo for your situation.

Or must the lap top be pluged into the stand for the wireless keyboard to work? Where is the receiver for the key board. For example, if yo wanted to use this model in bed, using an external monitor ( ie... tv), can the laptop be set to the side or away from the bed.
