I have an MX-700 and love it. I also plan on getting a Harmony for my Parents.....two reasons, they need a universal remote, and I want to check one out.

But Ken, don't you use a Mac?
I've had tons of issues while helping friends and family get webcams, keyboards and even mice installed properly. The software is always the culprit. At the present time, i cannot use a Logitech webcam of any sort while running an older RADEON AIW vidcard.
It just won't work.
I've tried it on 3 computers that all use the same card.
Another friend recently bought a Logitech Orbit webcam. The little motors keep getting stuck and the only way he can get the cam working again is to reboot his computer. He tried installing some recent software updates just last week and his computer froze. Upon reboot, it was brutally slow. He uninstalled and went back to the software from the install disc. All the background Logitech apps chew up over 30mb of ram. I went over to help him permanently shut some of them off.
Just insanity i tell you.

The MX is on the PC. The Microsoft Intellimouse is on the Mac. I guess I don't have the MX software installed at the moment on the PC. I can't remember...

i used to hate logitech products years ago. I used to use al MS mice and keyboards
now I have a MX-500 mouse, elite keyboard, Z-680 speakers, and a few other cheaper keyboards/mice for other machines in the house. Even got rid of my MS stuff at work for Logitech stuff. Got my mother some logitech speakers for xmas as well. I've got no complaints whatsoever.
Killer is, i have had no complaints with the htm remote as well and it's been rock solid.
I really need to use the harmony to see if it's what I want first. But the 880 is rare to find still and will be for a while.

Well, I'm glad to see Ray hasn't brainwashed everyone
I still haven't gotten anything, but I think it will be a Harmony when I do. I was trying to setup a demo of one a while back, but it doesn't look like that will happen, so I'll just have to pick a model and get it.

I exclusively use PC(s).
I have the Logitech MX700 mouse and it was the first wireless mouse that met the demands I had for one (Gamming ).
Logitech has made some terrific hardware over the years, I will admit some of their software that goes along with it has been suspect.
I'm currently considering the Logitech remote myself, I have two friends that now have em and they both love em to death.
