| Good Kbd/Mouse for Long Distance |
|
After struggling with other wireless keyboard/mouse combinations to control the computer hooked up to my HDTV, this one works great. I can use it as far away as I need to (25 feet) and never drop a keystroke or mouse movement. I've had it for over 2 months now and have not had to replace the batteries yet. It probably helps to turn the keyboard off when not in use. There's a convenient power switch on the top. Overall, a good solution for the price.

It is really plug-and-play device, just plug it in and it works.
Communication between mouse, keyboard and computer is 100% perfect, I see no lost keystrokes or things like that.
The only complaint I have is that left "windows" key is higher than I was used to and I sometimes hit it in the heat of the fight in HL2 or similar games. It takes me back to the desktop and causes mild annoyance but other than that, it is perfect.
Bottom line: solid long range wireless keyboard and mouse with classic layout and good price. There are additional keys but these don't get in the way and can actually be useful (volume control, email client, browser etc.)

I had been looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse for a while, but wasn't too keen on spending $100+ for them. My main concern was distance as I would be using the keyboard and mouse from my sofa (PC is in the entertainment center - enclosed, ~10 feet away). Based on reading tons of reviews of various sets, I determined 2.4Ghz or Bluetooth was the way to go. Bluetooth, of course, gets you into that $100+ category. This set came up towards the end of the list, IF you searched for the right keywords.
I set everything up last night. The install couldn't have been easier; plug in the dongle, wait for Vista to load the drivers (10 seconds), start typing and mousing away. I don't notice any delays in registering keystrokes or mouse clicks. Everything functions exactly as you would expect it to.

| Works Great - Easy Start-Up - Keys a bit hollow feeling |

This is a great product for the price. The mouse and keyboard work well. The heyboard is a bit hollow feeling, but nothing that should make you avoid purchasing at this price point. The keyboard also came with an ergo attacvhement whichwas a pleasent surprise.
FYI, the mouse is in the box. It was hard to find at first because the separate comparment it is in makes the box look like a false bottom (like in a magic trick) but it is there. Alakazam!

This is the best desktop set ever. I can use both the mouse and the keyboard from anywhere in my house. It doesn't do any good more than 15 feet away, but I can do it, and that's just amazing. The mouse and keyboard both work as well as any I've ever used.
