Well, the S530 arrived yesterday and no RFI from 40M, but haven't tried
other bands yet - but as people said, unlikely to be a problem.

The programmable buttons work well. Mouse is a dream, very comfortable and
the volume controls on it are programmable too.

I liked the MX600 mouse that comes with the S530 so much, I purchased a
MX610 for the PC (it belongs to the company I work for, what can I tell you,
I've tried convincing them to replace 100,000 Wintel systems with MacOS, but
they don't seem to want too:-).
Anyway, the S530 and MX600 mouse have a sync mechanism. The MX610 doesn't,
appears to be paired with its transceiver - yes its the size of a standard
USB connector and is a transceiver because it has indicators on the mouse
that are controlled from the PC!

Overall, very pleased and impressed with Logitech.
