| So after searching Microsoft web site for drivers; calling HP for technical support; several hours of driver re-installs, re-initalizing conections, and so on; and still having the keyboard and mouse randomly leave me stranded in the middle of my game with hostiles all around - well, the mouse ended up in several pieces when it met the wall. Save yourself the feelings of foolish remorse and don't buy this.

| Nice price, functions well, but only reliably to about 8 meters, not the full stated 10 meter range. Do not use on a metal TV tray as the metal will block the signal. Occasional spurious signals/commands crop up: e.g. the unit thinks the mouse wheel is being scrolled when it is not even being touched. So if the mouse wheel advances you through pages, you may find yourself suddenly twenty pages down the line. The remote units go to sleep rather quickly (to save batteries), so if you have been using the mouse for a while, and then need to enter a keyboard command, you will likely find the keyboard will take one or more key presses to wake up, and then another press for the intended signal to get through.
These flaws make this equipment unsuitable for detail work (fine brush strokes or tracings in image editors) or software that cannot be backed out of spurious or unintended commands. For that, you should stick to hard wired equipment. But for general knock around keyboard and mouse work on a PC connected to a huge TV, it is fine.
