Logitech handicapped me for weeks

It started with a classic coffee-spilling in the keyboard. It died and I looked at it as a golden opportunity to get one of those fancy pants cordless keyboards that everyone seem to have these days, leaning back on their office chairs with the keyboard on their lap with no worries and no strings attached.
I spent maybe 1000 NOK ($100+) on a real fancy Logitech thing with a huge ergonomic mouse and loads of extra buttons that I couldn't understand how I'd managed without for so long.
The mouse proved to be a hell working with. So heavy (with it's own weight and two large batteries) that it stuck on the table until I gave it a hard nudge, flying the pointer across the screen. I gave it a second and a third chance but I really avoided working with Illustrator and other drawing-applications as far as I could for these weeks. The keyboard super-smart-buttons was hardly used. (Who really wants a separate button for Logitechs homepage after all?)

Today was a HUGE relief: changing back to the old lightweight and lowtech mouse and a new cheap and ugly keyboard. Sometimes new technology just makes you so damned helpless.
