    I looking for a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse combo. I've narrowed it down to the Logitech MX 5000 and MX 5500. I've done the side by side comparisons and I don't see the difference.

    MX 5000:

    MX 5500:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126038


    Is there a reason the MX 5500 is $50-$60 higher than the MX 5000?

    Thanks.
