The Microsoft set had a bigger keyboard with higher keys that provided much better 'squishiness' than the Logitech and its mouse was both larger and had a higher curvature than the tiny mouse offered by the Logitech package. And the Microsoft set cost only about $4 - 5 more than the Logitech set. Twas a no brainer; picked the Microsoft set without any further hesitation.

If Microsoft are nazis than you are a terrorist and everyone's public enemy no.1.

Today, every Logitech thing I bought broke too soon. First, a Logitech headset. After only 6 months or so, the sound volume slider became useless. Soon after, the right headphone gave up. Finally, before the year ended, the microphone broke off.
Second was a Logitech desktop microphone. Again, 6 months after, the microphone wouldn't stay up anymore. I had to tape it to stay it place.
Third, some buttons of the G400 mouse I bought started to double-click on their own even though I only click once, and the mouse wheel makes awful noises now.
Never again Logitech. They now put out overpriced junk, only relying on the good name they've built in decades past, and which they don't deserve anymore.

Hmm, I am quite satisfied with the quality of both the M525 mouse and the expensive K800 keyboard. The battery that came with the M525 is still full (I bought it about a year ago). I can't really speak for their headsets. I had a low-priced/quality headset that did not last a few months. (same experience with Trust though, their products are even worse in my experience).
My experience with Logitech is quite good, they had engineers creating the hid-logitech-dj driver and published some specifications that eases the creation of a Unifying program. Not everything is documented, but their HID++ protocol is trivial to understand. If you own a Unifying device and want to enable more functions that do not exist in Solaar/ltunify yet, consider reverse engineering it yourself. It is not that hard once you have a VM with USB passthrough and understand the structure of the HID++ messages.
In my article I have only documented HID++ 1.0, but with help of the HID++ 2.0 specification it should not be that hard to figure out things.
I do not have any shares in the Logitech company, I just do not have the bad experiences that others experience. Perhaps because the keyboard was very expensive and the mouse is a simple one that does not have fancy programmable buttons.
