| Just when I thought that my set was pretty darn awesome I decided to throw away the box. I only had it for like 3 days. After crumpling the box and throwing it away, IMMEDIATELY my keyboard started acting funny! Ironic eh? It goes in spurts of registering keys. Here is some of what it did while I was writing to my brother:
I had to [get wireless] 'cause my cords hang by my feet nd Ikeep kicking htme
Ma, i sware itregisters osme keys ooner than othersto
Whih auses me to hit backspe which of ourse dosn't work1
You sewhat i'm putnig up wth/!
So that sucks... Right now it's working just fine again... My computer has 3GB of RAM and a 2Ghz Processor with 2Ghz Bus speed so I don't think it's my computers fault... All in all, I'm not too happy with it any longer!
| | First you better make sure you know touch typing if you buy this keyboard. IF you don't you are in trouble. The keys wore off after two weeks. My major keys have nothing on them anymore. The ones I never use are holding up nicely.
Second this thing has been a nightmare. It leaks. That was the only conclusion that three computer shop owners, two gurus and I could come to. The mouse interferes with the keyboard. The keyboard causes problems with the mouse. IF you only operate one you MIGHT note the might work.
You lose the mouse or the keyboard when it feels like it. You lose the USB connection when it feels like it. The PS/2 connection is picking up the USB wireless signal for some strange reason and MUST be pointed away from the wireless keyboard and the mouse.
AND NONE OF IT MAKES SENSE. This is a horrible system. It is cheaply made and it acts as if it is cheaply made. NO I would never resell it on Amazon because some other fool might buy it. I did. I will also never buy another Micro anything again as long as I live. Neither will any of the shop owners or the gurus.
Now excuse me I have to go pull that %%@%@$# mouse out of the wall where I just threw it.
By the way if you put the mouse into the wall? The keyboard works great.
| | It is an effective combination at first, but a couple of months into using it the mouse started acting weird. I also noticed that once I started using it my screensaver started becoming unreliable; sometimes it never came on. I stopped using the mouse for a while and the screensaver worked fine again. A couple of days ago, I decided I was tired of using the laptop mouse while using it at home, so I plugged the mouse back in, and the screensaver stopped working again. I have had no problems with the keyboard, but why would you buy a keyboard/mouse combo if one part doesn't work?

| This set came with a computer that we bought last August. While we've had no problems with the keyboard (and have only used one set of batteries for it during all the time we've had this), the mouse has been a major headache. It tracks slowly, eats batteries (the 2 days is hardly much of an exaggeration), and even with new batteries it can be slow and unresponsive. It's a terrible mouse to use for any kind of gaming (esp. FPS or flying games, or any games in which timing is critical). The tech support is virtually non-existent, as is user information-the manual doesn't indicate how to tell the batteries are low (I guess you're supposed to figure that out based on reduced performance, or that you've been using the computer for a week, whichever comes first). We plan to keep the keyboard but replace the mouse!
| | This was a total waste of money. It worked well for maybe a week. The mouse has malfunctioned every since.
