Mobile's hands best friend...stationary's maybe...

Pros Very affordable for the combo, comparing to Logitech, with all the bells and whistles.
Cons Lack of ergo design and battery usage time.
Recommended it? Yes

Microsoft had done it again. For every good idea for something, the idea never gets carried throughout without somekind of bug attached. Nevertheless, it's a good beginning. Can't wait for the affordable Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000. That may be the keyboard that mercilessly top all... Read full review »

All Around...Just About Average.

Pros High quality hardware, no wires, secure, no interference
Cons Short battery life, no audio stack
Recommended it? Yes

I've been using this setup for over about a year now and haven't had any major problems with it.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 3000

My place of work have a nice little set up for their conference rooms. A small ultra-light notebook (for less heat) kept inside a wooden cabinet. Inside this cabinet is also home to many cables and connections - it's pretty messy in there. It is... Read full review »

Not up to quality I expected

byqsabe Aug 25, 2009
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Size. Normal rectangular shape.  proper placement for the home keys.
Cons Funtion key labeling.  No charger for the mouse battery is annoying.
Recommended it? Yes

There is a lot to like about this keyboard. I have the 3000-2 version and bought it because the home keys are finally back where they belong.  Where they had been ever since IBM designed the layout for the PS2 many years ago. That enthused me, I like having the keys where I expect them to be and... Read full review »
