| Good value for the money, but.... |
| This keyboard and mouse is good value for the money. Its very stylish, the keys and mouse feel well-built, and the wireless connection setup was easy and worked right the first time. It comes with batteries for both the keyboard and the mouse. The wireless base requires no separate power supply. Considering you can purchase this in the $35-$40 price range, I can't see how you can go wrong.
Update 1/05 - There is one way you can go wrong. The mouse, especially, consumes batteries like a SUV consumes gasoline. If you go this route, invest in regardable lithium ion batteries or buy stock in Duracell.
| | Great keyboard, terrible mouse |
| This is a good idea with a good price for wireless keyboard and mouse. There are extra special feature keys such as web navigation and media controls.
The keyboard operates very smoothly - very few hiccups in terms of missed keystroke. I chose not to install the special keyboard shortcuts. Still I found myself accidentally pressing the Standby key instead of Esc... and it would go into Standby.
As for the mouse, the instructions say to keep it (and receiver device) away from electro-magnetic sources to avoid interference. Unfortunately, no matter where I placed the devices, the mouse kept jumping all over the screen. It was virtually useless. I ended up not using the devices.
I had a PC, monitor, cordless phone and sometimes other EM emitting devices in close proximity. There was no practical way to re-arrange them. So if you have a simple office with extra desk space, this mouse may work for you - but be skeptical.
| | Mouse is erratic; turns out to be sensitive to patterns on the working surface. It uses up batteries at a great rate.
The keyboard failed completely in about 30 days. The batteries lasted longer than it did.
