Possibly the WORST product ever made by Logitech
Strengths: All-in-one functionality of cordless keyboard, USB hub and laptop riser
Weakness: Just doesn't work
Conceptually, the Alto Cordless is a nice product. In reality, I would bet that it is the worst product ever released by Logitech.
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.
