| This was a good product for what you pay for it. Keyboard batteries last a long time. Mouse batteries - not so much. We use rechargable NiMH and get about a week or two.
A couple of things I didn't like:
The NUMLOCK, CAPSLOCK, SCROLLLOCK buttons are in the standard locations, but the indicators are not on the keyboard. They are displayed in the system tray after installing the software.
There's no warning that the mouse batteries are getting low. They're just suddenly dead. But we keep an extra set on-hand - so that's not a huge concern.
For the freedom of the wireless keyboard and especially wireless mouse at this price, it's worth it. I'd do it again.
| | More trouble than it is worth |
| I have had this product for just a couple of days. I am replacing a Microsoft mouse and keyboard because the scroll on the microsoft mouse would quit working hours after inserting the batteries, and you had to press extra hard on the keyboard to get an "n". So now, I have a mouse that runs through batteries like nobody's business. I think my new batteries lasted less than 2 days. It also randomly will quit working, but maybe that was because the new batteries were no longer powerful enough, even though the mouse light was as bright as ever. Why would I think it needed new batteries after 2 days? But at least the scroll works well so far unlike the microsoft mouse, and the keyboard keys seem to work evenly. I do think that it has contributed to locking up my computer as well, though I can't prove it. But I have had several lockups since installing it, and though I get those on occasion, I don't get this many this often. So while it is working it works fine. If you don't mine the batteries and the hassle, I guess it is a cheap way to get a wireless keyboard and mouse.

| I've had the keyboard and mouse for about 2 weeks. For the first 10 days it worked like a charm. After that, certain keys stopped functioning or functioned sporadically. It's kind of hard to use a keyboard that doesn't have a functioning "n", "m", "." or delete key.

| | Flawed product, worse support |
| The day after I installed this on my home computer my PS/2 ports stopped working. I called tech support from work, and he suggested removing the ports from Device Manager and rebooting. (He did not note my case #). No ports were listed. I called again. The new rep was worse, demanding I hot swap the plugs in my old keyboard, a known no-no. After 30 minutes he told me to call the comp. manuf. Next day I did: they said replace the motherboard. I called MI again, and he escalated me to Level 2 but they were closing. The next week I called everyday but their phone system was busted. So was their website. Finally today I talked for an hour with "Manny." He said take it to the shop and have the ports tested and find out why they fried. The shop can tell me THAT they are fried but not why. Company does NOT stand behind its product, and basically gave me the run-around. RUN!
