| I'm paying the price for buying a "cheap" wireless combo. Definitely stick to Logitech for input devices.
First of all, the keyboard is a little too sensitive, so if you type quickly, you end up making lots of errors. I would prefer a slightly stiffer feel to the keys. Battery life for the keyboard is fine.
However, I have to agree with Brian's review. The mouse's battery life is horrible. Not only do they use AAA batteries instead of AA, they go through a set in about two weeks. That's utterly ridiculous.
All in all, I'm thinking about returning this set and buying a Logitech combo instead. Stay away from Kensington products, or at least this one. Don't be fooled by the price.
| | The keys are stiff, but ok. I'm hoping they losen up with more use. The mouse, however is horrible. Despite the keyboard still being on the fist set of batteries, I have to replace the batteries on the mouse at least every two weeks. I have rechargables, so it's not that big a deal, but this is really inefficient. It's also really heavy and the mouse tracking resolution/speed is not very good either. Spend the money and get Microsoft or Logitech.
| | I do hate the mouse, for the following reasons:
(1) It's too heavy, feel pretty bad for my hand. Logitechs are much better.
(2) Very un-sensitive for my hand's movement. It let me feel I need to use "power" to move
(3) The driver is awful. Sometime the mouse pointer will be locked in the right corner of the screen and the restart of the machine is the only way I can find to make it work.
(4) For the same price, I would go for Logitech or M$.
Final word: Try to test a real one before buying.
| | The price is right. I hooked it up and hit the connect button on the mouse and that worked right away. I could not find the connect button on the keyboard and there is no user manual and there is no information on this model on their website. Luckily I read one of the other reviews here and the person said the button is in a obscure place and they were right. It is on the bottom of the keyboard. You have to flip up the keyboard stand tab and the button is under there. Once I found it, I hit the button and both the keyboard and mouse are working fine. I just hooked it up today so I can't speak to battery life yet, but it came with batteries so that was also a plus. Good luck!
| | This should be avoided by every means. My XP wouldnt see the Keyboard at all. Neither the USB nor the PS2 version worked. I fell for the ceap price, you should not.
