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...

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 » 1 All Around...Just About Average. byhbrandenburg Dec 20, 2005 10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 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. The reason I picked this out of all the rest was because of the bluetooth option and I figured it would work best with Windows. First, we have LAN parties a few times a year and...
