Took me an Hour and 10 minutes but I won

Shut off adsubtract and won within 5 minutes of shutting it off.

I'm kind of irked at the people trying to win more than one as that's not right.

I won after maybe 800-1000+ refreshed. I am also a little mad about the people winning multiple sets. Why can't people just accept the gift (that's what it was) and be happy w/o trying to ripoff logitech for more copies? They'll probably just sell them anyway.

I won one after 15min of trying. I might try to get another if enough people from here get one. I don't want to be greedy, but I want one for my brother. I am very happy with one.

I won @ 12:40 pm est, started refreshing after I saw the first post about it. I told my co-worker next to me to try it and he won after just four refreshes. We're in NJ.

after about 45 minutes of refreshing and a couple hundred refreshes, i got mine... not to mention the 1 that i accidently refreshed over after about 10 minutes :rolleyes:

12-20-02, 02:36 PM
Took an hour and 10 minutes. Disabled cookies half way through, but I doubt it mattered. I started counting refreshes when I lost hope, then when I hit 75, I won.

Got one in about 6 mins. Almost refreshed the winning page too:rolleyes: The prompt saved me, clicked on cancel, and went back to the page.

You think these come with batteries? :D

(PS. For people who try to win twice, you guys are lame, some guys are still clicking outthere for hours, have some shame)

I am not complaining about the product, It's mor or less my house. It's called RF hell. We run a lot of two way radios in here and it messes with things. I love logitech products, I use to do tech support for them, all I got was calls and probs but I still recommend then and buy there stuff. They are goog products, I have 5 kb/mice combos here, I set of their Xtrusion Speakers, 3 webcams, 4 joysticks, a couple game pads, and a few other things. I use to love my Discount through them.

Turned off cookies after 4 damn hours of clicking and won within the next 10 refreshes. Don't know if it were coincidence or not, but I'm just glad I can finally quit.

12-20-02, 03:11 PM
i won after 1hr yay yay. i never won anything b4 and i was just about to give up when i won. im only 14 too. if you feel like you're not gonna win just keep on clicking and you'll win. i also turned my firewall of and it started refreshing faster and within 5min of turning it off i won

I had 25+ windows open on my desktop:D going down the list and constantly refreshing. Two winners showed up after about 1hr 25 minutes. I wasn't going to waste one, so I got one for me and 1 for my dad. I hate to sound greedy but c'mon, how can you just turn one down when it says winner. Shame on me.:( Oh well, Merry Christmas Dad:D

I got one after about 30-45 mins of refreshing. Pretty neat of Logitech to do this, but it's a weird contest. Seems like only the "die hards" (like us) and the incredibly lucky will win anything. The casual user will get nada. I wonder what their thinking/strategy is? BTW I won at about 4:10 PM EST.

I had been trying all freaking day and and I finally won one 15 minutes before 5:00. One of my co-workers had been trying since 5:00 and got nothing... real nice of some of you guys to get more than one... I'm damn happy with my one, I feel bad for people who had been trying all day and got nothing... I know I was ticked until I did win.

12-20-02, 04:36 PM

i hope phatdilac gets 0, the whole point was for YOU to have an opportunity to get one, if your relatives and what not wanted on also, they should have logged on. think about it phatdilac what you did is selfish and ruins deals like this, 20,000 wer given out but since so many selfish people like you just went and won 5, that would drop the number to 4,000 and im sure your not the worst of the bunch. i hope you dont get any :). SSS i agree totally. i think logitech should send out keyboards with shockers built in to the people who tried to get multiple and every time you press the letter e you get shocked

i dont think you understand, i only spent 5 minutes trying to get one, and i already have one i bought a while ago. im not mad i didnt get one, but the point of it is not for someone like you to get alot, its for others to get 1, and if you shipped them all to the same address you may very well only get 1 and then there goes 4 that nobody gets

12-20-02, 05:39 PM
won one

took about 30-45 mins...

my roomate also won one...took him about an hour and a half tho

phatdilac
12-20-02, 05:47 PM
first of all i didn't get all 5 of them just for myself but for my relative and friend who happen to be at work and school. the stuff was ship to their address. And unlike many who got them so they can sell them off ebay. I sat through the whole thing so i guess my persistent pay off.

Great attitude you have, many people didn't snooze and tried for hours to win one, my sister in Ma. was one that couldn't win one even though she tried for hours. I will be giving her the ONE I was fortunate to win.

To the people that spoiled this out of greed for themselves I hope Santa brings you a lump of coal.

would u get more than 1 if u have the chance so tat both, ur sister and u can each have one. I saw the opportunity to get my friends and relatives free stuff and tat i will do. And i did sat there from 9 till 2.

a lump of coal is better than wat santa bring me every year, nuthing nada.

No I wouldn't! nor did I

I won one, once I won that one I stopped, why? Because I AM HONEST. I could have sat there for hours and won more I am sure, it was nice enough of Logitech to do this. The people that sat for hours and came up empty I feel for.

People that won 4 or 5 I can't say how I really feel due to this forums non tolerance for flaming.

BUT I can guarantee the people that won 4 or 5 I will make them jump through hurdles if they ever decide to use the Classifieds.

If these people are dishonest that gets my attention and my job is to curtail such individuals.

And my list got longer today :mad:

No. It would of been a lot better if he hadnt, buts it to late now. DO I hope he gets them all? Yes. I would rather see someoen rather than no one get it. Thats just my opinion


Its called Greed, many of these people will sell them on Ebay.

You think my views constitute Greed? Thats insane....My view is if you manipulated the situation knowing it's wrong it's criminal intent, at least the way I see it. And yes I'd like to see the people that manipulated the situation get nothing.

Perhaps some of the people that signed up for the 20% e-mail offer would get surprised and get the Keyboard free, if fault was found in thier attempt to manipulate the givaway.

Time will tell.

You know Sam, I think people just get REALLY WEIRD when you start giving stuff away. Somehow it really brings out the worst in people. Funny how something that's inherently nice can do that, huh? There's a doctoral dissertation in there for some would-be sociologist, I bet.

Anyhow, I got my 1, too. :)

You walk into bestbuy, there giving away free WD special editions, as many as you can grab. You grab one for yourself, and another 2 for two friends that can't be there.

To me, that's out of kindness, not greed. Now if I grabbed 3 for myself, thats a different story, or grabbed 3 and sold 2, but if you're not keeping 'em, I mean c'mon. Can you guys at least understand where i'm coming from.

-CPFitz-

I guess, but then some people dont get the hard drives that waited forever behind you, while your friends didnt do anything, but they may not have been able to. THere are basically a whole bunch of circumstances on wether it is right or wrong, so there is no clear cut answer IMO.

12-20-02, 07:32 PM
Ok, first off, everyone who went to the site shouldntve expected to get one....i mean its only 20'000, my semi-small city, has approx. 5X that amount.

Second off, come on, if someone is winning for a friend that couldnt get on (if he couldnt get into the library and do that, maybe he had to do some work, or maybe he had a doctor appointment), then yes its wrong that they got more, but they are doing it for a friend, so its not as bad, as if u were owning a store and got like 50 some.

Third, if you are coming in here to flame someone, take it into gripes and moans......and christ keep this thread clean.

And fourth, ffs people if ur gonna counter-pots.....read the ****ing previous posts from the person your gona counter post......sheesh......

I tried for an additional half hour after my win as well. The one I won is going to our server in the living room so we can surf the net from the couch. I tried to win a second for my parents, but grew impatient as I was on a pretty tight time schedule.

second i did win 2 of them and 1 will go to my friends cuz he showed me the link in the first place.

I deserves all those flames, and i can see more coming this way :( this is the truth and nuthing but the truth. sorry every1

I had 5 "Winner" pages.



Due to my own stupidity (getting old...reflexes ain't what they used to be!) I lost three of them by refreshing too early. The other one went to an unlucky coworker who tried for about an hour and a half but didn't get one.

People were still winning within at most 15 minutes of the end. And it was randomly selected. I don't think Logitech gave way all the 20k. Which means that people who won more than one most likely in no way affected your chances. True it's not honest. True it sucks balls that some people win 8 and others win none. But I doubt the two facts are related. He just spammed their site more effectively than others.

EDIT: This is not true in new york and Florida. Edited by SSS (although I totally agree with what you said ;)

I won 1. Tried for 2. And I sure as hell wouldn't be apologizing if I had won two. My father wanted one just as much as any of you folks, but he had to do real work (as opposed to my ass sitting job). (And nope. I'm not giving him mine. I'm not that nice.) :mad:

hmm pimp on board... how am I lowest of the low? Lets see here. I got one for myself, one for my parents that were at work and couldn't do this but wanted to. 1 for my brother even though I never speak to him cause he's a jack a$$ but he's still my brother. 2 for friends at work that couldn't get off but I could and 3 for random people on the internet. I basically said, I won again so send me your info and I'll put it in. Had one email me saying they got the confirmation. The other 2 haven't and neither has my brother nor would I expect him to email me either.

Soo I'm the lowest of the low huh? I would think twice if I was you before putting your foot in your mouth. Ohh... and for those people that bash others because they won more then once... here's a copy of an email I got from logitech...

Thank you for using Logitech's Electronic Technical Support. My name is Liz. The following information addresses your original question. You may wish to print this out and/or save this on your computer.

Yes, the rules do state only one prize per family, per household. We unfortunately cannot prevent prizes from going out if the user was able to use a different name and address for each mouse and keyboard to be sent out. We will be screening the winners for duplicate names and/or addresses, and duplicates will only receive one product. While it is unfortunate that a customer may receive more then one prize, we also understand some were participating in the contest on behalf of another. We would prefer that each customer only receive one prize, for that would open up more opportunities for other customers to win as well, but other than sorting through duplicates, there is not much we can do.
Congratulations on your winning and thank you for your honesty as well.

If you have additional technical questions regarding your product, please visit our web site at www.logitech.com and submit your question.

Thank you for your interest in Logitech.


Regards,
Liz

Description of Problem: I have a question about the giveaway promotion for these items from logitech. On 12/20/02 there was a promotion to give out 20,000 keyboard&mouse combonations. I visit a bunch of websites and forums that were discussing this and how people were winning multiple times but were sending what they had won extra to other addresses. So if they won once they sent it to themselves and if they won again they sent it to a completely different person.

My question is, was this okay to do? After seeing that and reading the rules I saw that there was never a limit to the number of entries just a limit of one prize per household/address. Reason being is after I won once and read about this I decided to give it a go again thinking it would be a good gift for someone else if I had managed to win again. But, I rather at least get the one I did win the first time. I would appreciate a definitive answer on this issue.

<<deleted for safety reasons>>



Also the rules explicitidly state that one could retry as many times as they like. Just you get awarded ONE prize per address basically and that's what I got.

While it is unfortunate that a customer may receive more then one prize, we also understand some were participating in the contest on behalf of another. We would prefer that each customer only receive one prize, for that would open up more opportunities for other customers to win as well, but other than sorting through duplicates, there is not much we can do.



that pretty much sum's up my feelings, although it's not "right" it's not "wrong" either and there's nothing that can be done about it, other than to frown upon people who get one for their mom, dad, sisters, brothers, pets, aunts, uncles, grandparents, co-workers, casual freinds, and the bum on the street you pass on your way to work every day.

yes it is human nature for us to hoard things as we were hunter/gatherers at one time, sometimes we should restrain ourselves, and this time is a prime example. although people who "won" multiple times are entitled to their prizes i think you all should be frowned upon, as every time you "won" you made someone else a loser. Logitec offers a contest to attract new buyers for their products, how are they to do this if there were say 1,000 people who each took 20, that makes many thousands of angry people who are now directing their anger to Logitec, when they should direct their anger to those 1,000 people. Logitec get's flodded with hate e-mails and dosent gain any new customers, just angry ones. What's Logitec gonna do about it... simple no more contests.

so yes, i do stick to my words by calling people who got more than say 5 as the leeches of the system. Personally, if i was the Contest director, i would look at the Originating IP of all the winners and only send one to the 1st instance. 1 per household can also mean 1 per IP, after all it's their contest.

I would win one for my cousin, father, and one of my friends. Actually my friend was actually playing, but he was frustrated and gave up. I might just give up my prize to my cousin or father. Can you use the mouse and keyboard separately? by anychance? My cousin needs a keyboard and my dad needs a mouse for his laptop.

Someone said the mouse and keyboard are integrated and use one controller for both, so the answer is no according to what a few people mentioned about this mouse

Im in Maryland, they did ship UPS from...Grove City Ohio!
Although, my fiance won one as well (with some help ;)) and she hasn't gotten hers, we live in the same city :)

To describe it, keyboard and mouse, one receiver with mouse ps2, and keyboard usb, with a usb-to-ps2 converter, so In effect, you could only use one, but you can't donate the other. Pretty nice setup, special edition color, for free :) Also has media controls and customizable hotkeys for "shopping" etc. Cyber Deals is going to be my "shopping" as soon as I get around to customizing.

Digital Pimp
01-08-03, 11:38 PM
you mean it takes up the ps2 ports?!? i though it would just take up one usb port...

also, would you mind taking some pics of it... i cant wait too see it, i think i'm gonna call UPS tomorrow and see if it's on it's way.

Digital

gravitywell
01-09-03, 12:13 AM
either 2 ps2, or 1ps2 for mouse and 1usb for keyboard :)
I don't have a dig cam :( I can't get any pics for you, but if you goto the site, it (physically) looks like the image shown :)

gravitywell
01-09-03, 12:50 AM
I stand corrected, I re-read the instructions, you need either both ps2 or just the single USB (USB doubles as the ps2 for the keyboard). I just installed the keyboard, I'm very impressed with it, completely responsive, keys are smooth and quiet. Im just now getting around to setting the hotkeys. :) Thank you again, to he who found this wonderful cyber deal :)

I guess this is something I've never understood. Why use up a usb port on your kb/mouse when there are PS2 ports available. Forgive my ingnorance, I've never had a computer with usb till recently and I'd like to know if there is an advantage to using the usb over the PS2 ports.

Orangebug

There really isn't, if your motherboard has both. However, computers are moving closer and closer to being legacy-free (e.g. Abit's AT7 and IT7 boards) and eventually boards will almost all have four or six USB ports on the back and no PS2 ports anymore.

01-10-03, 02:48 PM
It is optical. I got mine 2 days ago but missed the delivery man so I had to wait another day. The keyboard is really nice.. soft, and responsive and you can barely hear it when you type. The mouse however sux for gaming. It skips alot in fps games and is heavy because you have to put 2 AA batteries in it.

AC Slater
01-10-03, 03:32 PM
I just got mine today and I really like it a lot. The keyboard is very quiet and smooth. The mouse is good too. It isn't that heavy, especially when compared to the Logitch one with the built in battery (that thing weighs a ton). It stutters every now and then but it was just as good as my Microsoft mouse in Battlefield 1942 after I got used to it a bit.


1 Thing that bothered me was the iTouch. I accidentally pushed the play/pause button and it didn't go away. It just kept the text on the screen, so I had to manually shutdown iTouch in the Task manager.

Whoa, that's pretty cool. Thanks for the phone number! :cool: Mine was ordered on the 4th and is out of stock, too. At least I don't need to worry about missing the UPS guy for a little while.

Great post! Even included the #'s to dial to navigate through them menus :eek: :cool:

Only thing is...I entered a phony phone number cause I didn't want to risk getting pesky telemarketers.

Now to remember that number, but I think I only changed the last digit.

BTW....how did you find that number? and thanks for giving it to us:D!

I called and checked on mine. I wonder, if they knew that they were going to give 20,000 of these away, why they didn't have 20,000 of them on hand, reserved for the contest.

So apparently most of us will not get them until they get more stock in, and technically they have until Valentine's Day under their "6-8 week" clause.

well I finally ended up with 3 of the 8 I won shipped total. One to myself, one for my parents, and one that I gave away to a random person on the net since I was able to win a few extra. Anyhow, that still leaves 5 unaccounted for right now and hopefully they'll all come in. Not complaining if they don't since truth be told, I did win a lot, even if I had only planned to keep 1 for myself. Still, it would be nice if they all came in and I could make everyone happy with their new gifts from me :)

I also have to take back my comments about the mouse. While it was skipping, I decided to reload xp and NOT reload the logitech drivers for this combo. I was reading in places where the logitech drivers were not working all that well with the wireless mouses they have. I also moved the receiver as far away from any computing device as the cord will let me. I then went out and bought an awsome optical mouse pad and gel rest from bestbuy they had as an open item for $10 (normally $20). Since then, I haven't had any skipping problems at all. I think I might still want to pick up the mx700 wireless optical mouse though from all the good things I hear about that. But you can't beat this wireless combo for the price.

edit: Wow! This thing is great. I'm typing from my bed right now, and its awesome. I can barely see what i'm typing though, thats the downside. I noticed no lag from the mouse at all, and will soon test it with some gaming action.

I can see why they didn't make 20,000 before the contest. They didnt know if there would be 20,000 winners. You have to remember these are not normal retail sets, these are special edition for this contest only. I bet they made some and waited for the final number to be made.

BTW Clientlogic just handles the techsupport on these things, all replacements were always sent from logitech themselves when I worked there. The Clientlogic office that handles logitech is located here in Las Vegas, they have no warehouse here, just tech support people.

Got mine today. Nice board as others have stated. I'm more then pleased to have this board after waiting only five weeks. I had expected 8 to 10 weeks. Also the 20% rebate that came with it will be put to use on a mx700. though they don't give you much time. Purchase must be made by 1-31-03. thats 1 week from today. I think I can swing it with my vacation check on the way.

Thanks Logitech and I hope you are #1 again this yr. And thanks to the guy who posted the original thread about this. I sure hope he won.

finally got my duo yesterday. However, i think my mouse has become defective. when the mouse is idle for more than 1 minute, the LED light dies and the mouse stops working. I have to hit connect or reinstall battery to make it work again. It was working fine yesterday. I tried two new sets of batteries , no go. Tried on different pc, no go.

How is your mouse behaving?

Thanks guys. I may need to rma it. can't complain coz it's free.

01-26-03, 01:58 AM
when in use the LED is on, but when not used the mouse goes into a power saving mode, where the LED dims by about half, if not used for a while then the led dims even more and blinks about 1ce per second, this is all to save battery power.

when u fist connect you mouse, and when comming out of the deep sleep make sure u are on a good surface, then move the mouse, it will blink initally then the light well be a dim solid, then try using the mouse.

hope that helps

Mine's still out of stock, so I guess some of us will be waiting for a while longer. I checked out the email and it says 6-8 weeks from Dec 20th, so I guess we'll probably have ours by Feb 14 (don't think she would like that as a Valentine's present)!

In Logitech's defense, do you think it's a small job to ship out 20,000 boxes? Ummmmmm no. They may very well have them in stock, but not "showing" as in stock so they don't get sold. It's an even bigger job if these things come in their own box, rather than in the retail box. Anyhow, they're free so don't complain too much. They even said 6-8 weeks, so those that got them earlier got gravy.
