Logitech is a well known player in the computer peripherals market. One could argue that they are the standard for keyboards and mice, especially the cordless variety. We have on the bench today the Cordless Navigator Duo, Cordless Elite Duo, and the "king of all mice", the MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse.

Some of you may be wondering why TweakHound is looking at these products. The idea is simple. These products promise to be a tweaker's delight. If they live up to their claims they can offer customization and increased speed and efficiency while working with your computer. As our motto states, "Optimize your computing experience"!

The Cordless Navigator Duo and Cordless Elite Duo reviews will be side by side since they are similar products. The MX700 will have its own section. The conclusion will include all the products. Feel free to use the menu at the bottom of each page to view which interests you most.
