| Keyboard great....Mouse, not so... |
| I bought this unit to use in my home. I was greatly disappointed in the the performance from day 1. The keyboard works great. I haven't had a problem with it. The mouse is a completely different story. No matter what color/texture surface you use, the performance is very choppy. I have to click numerous times to get it to respond and you can forget double clicking.
I thought maybe this is just a problem that I have at home so I brought it to work. My mouse is 2 feet from the computer and I'm still having the same problems.
My advice? Buy another product.
| | Might be fine if I could get it to work consistently |
| I've tried multiple sets of brand new batteries, repositioning the PC in relation to the keyboard and mouse, moving the USB transmitter - all to no avail.
No matter what I've tried productivity is seriously affected by slow or no response from the mouse. I bought this to replace a wireless set I had that plugged into the mouse and keyword ports. It worked great until I just wore it out.
I wanted the padded keyboard and like the shape of this mouse. If only I could get it to work accurately and consistently.
| | Everything started fine; the keyboard has a luxurious feel and plenty of extra programmable buttons and the set-up was stunningly simple, really plug and play into a PC which had no wired keyboard attached when I did the set up... I just plugged in the USB device, booted up the computer and everything was well...or so I thought:
I actually purchased 2 of these for 2 separate PCs and had exactly the same issues on both; the first is that the transmitter has to be very close to the mouse/keyboard to operate at all. I had planned to plug it into a USB on the back of my computer which sits under my desk, in the end I had to get a USB extension cable and run it up next to my monitor some10 inches from the mouse with no obstructions. Then everything works fine except the left mouse button which, as another reviewer reports) you have to click multiple times to get any response and double-clicking becomes a lost art, in desperation I end up right clicking and selecting the file open option.
Tech support was totally useless and kept telling me to change the batteries (now why didn't I think of that....oh wait, I did...and I kept telling them that I did).
It's a pity because I like the unit otherwise, but I am going to have to buy another as it is just too frustrating to use.
| | Great design, love the slim keyboard and mouse feels great. I planned to use this as my media center setup because of the 30 ft range, but let me tell you 3 inches is not enough to ensure a stable link and reliable performance. After failing to perform on my laptop 6 ft away with direct LOS, I moved to a PC instead with the sensor 2 feet away, and had exact same issues. These include the mouse that simply refuses most of the time to double click, or single click, or move smoothly. I'm a PC tech, so all standard troubleshooting was done. Deal breaker, it is going back to the store. Pitty, because I REALLY like the keyboard and mouse design... but come on, if it is going to be wireless please make it work as such.
| | Like everyone else that's reviewed this product on this page, having the same issues. The mouse and keyboard connectivity is terrible. I'm a graphic artist, plugged it in last nite tried to do some work and i almost threw it out the window.
This p.o.s. is going back to best buy.
