Not so sure of the benefit!

bysrmoll Oct 18, 2004
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Little.
Cons Range too short. Mouse operation erratic. Default key set-up cannot be changed.
Recommended it? No

I ordered this as part of a complete system, well... it seemed like a good idea. It looks OK, but has more buttons than I'd ever really use, and doesn't feel solid enough. Maybe its just me, but I see Microsoft products as a premium brand, often commanding premium prices, and hence should have a... Read full review »

Why Use Wires?

Pros Excellent feel, look, exceptional quality
Cons I can't think of anything at the moment.
Recommended it? Yes

Since I have begun using wireless keyboards and wireless optical mice (trackball and conventional), I cannot think of one single reason to use any other. I purchased the Microsoft combination package of a charcoal with silver accented wireless keyboard and wireless optical mouse for about 80... Read full review »

Pros Um, it's wireless
Cons Keboard layout, jumpy mouse, wierd unchangle 'F' lock key.
Recommended it? No

I knew that wireless keyboards and mice were notorious for problems with batteries dieing, but having two small kids I always have plenty of batteries on hands for toys. It didn't really concern me very much.

I had been using the same keyboard for about 6 years (through maybe 8... Read full review »

Freedom and Convenience

Pros Keyboard is fine. Cordless freedom, maintenance free, quiet keys, feels good, looks good
Cons Mouse can act erratic if computer is busy (VERY frustrating)
Recommended it? Yes

I am the kind of person who spends a great deal of time at the computer desk and as such have an often very cluttered desk. Being cordless means no more wires being tangled, caught under books or wrapped around other components and allows me to be able to lean back in my chair and enjoy surfing in... Read full review »

Design blunder

bysilberbauer Aug 12, 2003
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ok color.
Cons Bad layout, unprecise mouse, stupid stupid stupid F LOCK function.
Recommended it? No

I have used this keyboard for 6 months now. I thought I would get used to it, but I still hate it. Why does MS think that they can rework the way I use a keyboard?

They've moved around the HOME/DEL/EN/PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN-keys and remapped the F-keys, introducing the F... F LOCK key.

Terrible Reception - need I say more? Function keys are driving me nuts.

byjwl2672 Sep 16, 2004
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Color Scheme matches my Dell. Looks cool.
Cons Terrible reception. F-lock needs to be pressed before you can use function keys.
Recommended it? No

This item is worthless. Lots of people have given this product a fantastic rating and claim to have been able to use this from 10 feet out or even in another room. Where are you guys living? In Siberia on an ice fjord with no interference? I live in Manhattan and the reception is awful. I bought... Read full review »
