| This is the most rugged wireless keyboard I have come across yet. Its range is amazing and best of all it does not have an F-Lock key. The mouse is very responsive and does not seem to eat batteries very fast.
| | Setup was a breeze. Instructions were easy to understand. I can go about 30 feet away and still pickup the signal. I would buy again, most definitely.
| | Pretty good, but takes awhile to get used to it. |
| Both the keyboard and the mouse work well. There is a peculiarity with the mouse that I expect is typical with wireless mice- a very slight delay between the time you make a movement and the system reacts. If you use the mouse continually, this isn't a problem. The receiver plugs into an available USB port and has a light on it when it is receiving valid signals, which is handy. Unfortunately, on my desk machine, the USB ports are in the back which means I can't see the receiver during normal operation. I put a USB extension cable between the port and the receiver and clipped the receiver to the edge of my bookshelf which solved this problem. If you have a front USB port, then you are all set. Otherwise, I haven't had any other issues.
| | Mouse designed for ogres... |
| Keyboard is fine and of good quality though the keys are a bit tough to press and requires more pressure than I'm used to. This is not thinkpad quality.
The killer is the mouse. The mouse probably weighs 1/2 a lb for god knows why. It's gigantic and godawful heavy. If you don't have wrist problems before, you will after using this mouse. The mouse is also elongated and must longer than anything I have ever seen.
| | Great for a docking station - mouse bad for travel |
| I've been using this product for >2 years.
I've only used the keyboard for a few months, it is was excellent.
I've been using the mouse continuously, even in my travels, as I need the middle button for my Unix apps and thinkpad's built in navigation supports it badly. The mouse is heavy and big, which may be a problem for some, but OK for me. It also reliable, with excellent buttons, scrolling and of course, pointing.
Nevertheless, it's a bad product for the road because of one design mistake: there's no on/off switch. So how does one travel with this mouse? No matter how you pack it, the buttons will get pressed, the laser turns on, and the batteries will be dead within a few days on the road.
I've been flipping over a battery whenever I pack up or start using the mouse - often four times a day. The battery compartment is not designed for that kind of usuage. It's very rugged, so it didn't break yet. But the rugged build also makes it very annoying to tinker with the batteries every time, and as above, if you like this mouse you probably have strong hands to begin with.
