  Adequate if you don't use keyboard shortcuts

  by garzaguy on March 17, 2012

  Pros: The keyboard has lots of built-in shortcut keys, and it has a very nice feel. Also, the keyboard is laid out in the traditional fashion; no stupid "ergonomic" curves or vertically oriented key grouping for the Insert-delete key group.

  Cons: Inconsistent connection. With multiple-item selections using ctrl/shift, sometimes the keyboard skips out. Very annoying, especially for complex selection. Mouse is the same. Move/click work fine, but sometimes the scroll wheel won't scroll.

  Summary: Cheap. If you've got the money, buy something better.

  Not for gaming

  by kingdante87 on May 1, 2011

  Pros: Cheap. Lots of buttons. Configurable buttons. Functions with one battery. Function lock button allows function keys to act like function keys instead of the crazy buttons that manufacturers want to lay over top of the function keys.

  Cons: Slow response time (noticeable time between key press and recognition). Pressing multiple buttons will cancel keys that were held. This makes it impossible to use WASD to navigate in a game while using other buttons (or mouse buttons).

  Summary: If you are purchasing a wireless keyboard for gaming stay fathoms away from this things. It has a horribly slow response time and it's impossible to hold buttons down (...

  Summary: If you are purchasing a wireless keyboard for gaming stay fathoms away from this things. It has a horribly slow response time and it's impossible to hold buttons down (WASD for example) and press other buttons. If your mother wants a keyboard that she can facebook with and hates the ideas of crazy wires everywhere then this is the keyboard for her.

  Buyer beware. Review very carefully before buying

  by ggluvsblu on October 18, 2010

  Pros: Nice board and ergonoics mouse

  Cons: Keyboard constantly stops responding . Very frustrating when trying to type. Message tells you to move the desktopo receiver closer. I have it right next to keyboard and mouse and it still does not respond well.

  Summary: Due to time lapsing, I cannot return it. If I could return this, I would in a heart beat.

  Keyboard usable - mouse disaster

  by mitramix on August 16, 2010

  Pros: A lot's of functional media buttons with possibility to customize them. Soft and silent touch of keys. Works well on Mac too. Mouse works with one battery too.

  Cons: A lot of cons. Raised front part of keyboard uncomfortable. Slim keyboard is not really slim, comparing to logitech products Mouse is complete disaster. Sometimes looses signal for no reason. Too heavy, even with one battery. Not precise. Bad mouse.

  Summary: If I could I would return it without thinking and for double amount buy Logitech product. This product is good for Sunday computer users or near the bed solution when ...

  Keyboard sometimes does not work.

  by teddya2193 on June 16, 2010

  Pros: Nice hot keys. Good ergonomic design.

  Cons: Keyboard sometimes stops responding for playing game. I recommend you finding other keyboard for playing games. If you are not a gamer, then this keyboard is a good choice for you.

  Keyboard great - scroll mouse pathetic

  by earlparks on July 21, 2009

  Pros: Loved everything about the keyboard except that I was specifically try8ing to purchase a QUIET keyboard. This one is quieter than most but not what I was looking for.

  Cons: I am taking this back to BestBuy. The scroll mouse takes too much effort to get it where it needs to be. That coupled with the fact that the keys really aren't as quiet as I would have lliked.

  Summary: Good keyboard functionality except for the loudness of the keys. Scrolll wheel on the mouse is entirely inadequate.

  Summary: I am overall satisfied with this wireless combo. I often use my computer to play mp3's, and this keyboard allows me to control windows media player without having ot be sitting at my computer. Everything functions as it should except for the mousewheel. When I scroll down, everything is fine. However, it is unable to scroll up. Other than that, I have had an overall positive experience with this set. I would recommend it.
