Mediocre product, probably won't use.

Just bought to replace the disgusting keyboard "Defender S Davos 775 Metallic USB" and I'm surprised that the keyboard does not swallow pressing and does not double and generally works almost like a wired one. But the "Defender S Davos 775 Metallic USB" mouse is an order of magnitude better - oh, there is no perfection in life Its pros: Great keyboard. Of the wireless sets I've used, the keyboard works the best. Quite a lot of additional keys. The software allows you to reassign many keys.…

Keyboard nice, mouse disappointing

I bought this set to use with the dock on a new laptop - the dock covers the laptop's keyboard and touchpad so I need separate keyboard and mouse. I love the keyboard of this set. It's comfortable, has lots of nice shortcut keys, and the scaling capability for my very high resolution laptop screen is amazing. Some of my frustration with the mouse may simply be the result of my laptop novice status. First of all, however, the software disc that came with this set will not automatically or…

Pros
  • Excellently made
Cons
  • Band

arrrgh Typing lag to the point of insanity. Got to. Murder. Keyboard.

I bought this mouse because of the wavy design (the promise of an ergonomic and comfortable design) and the shape of the mouse to replace my expired MK710 whose mouse just decided that it wouldn't scroll anymore (yes it was regularly dumped when my cats decided to help me with my work) I've been using Logitech for longer than I care to say and have usually been happy with it. I'm not good with my keyboards and I'm not a good product owner. I eat over it, put toast and chips on it, pick it up…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

The wireless keyboard and mouse was purchased on 12/27/07 as a set (a bundle). They arrived very quickly and I installed them in a hurry. They were easy to install. I like the shape of the keyboard, easy to use - for a 63 year old who has never typed before - the extra keys on the side and top of the keyboard really take it a step up from my old keyboard - and the lateral movement of the Mouse it also makes using it very comfortable. I visited my son two days ago and saw that he has the same…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Issue

Good But Also Bad - Computer Accessories & Peripherals

This is my second purchase of this keyboard. I find it inferior and overpriced, but the features and convenience made me buy another after my old one started dying key by key after just a year. The main feature that made me buy another one is the semi-ergonomic layout without which it hurts to type. I also use programmable program launch buttons all the time, as well as media control buttons. It's also nice not having cables on my desktop anymore. Cons: The full price (around $70) is too high…

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Tempered Colors

Really good, although maybe not ergonomic enough

Probably the best Microsoft keyboard ever. It feels solid and stable, much more durable than the previous ones and well made. The keys have great feedback and look and feel like high-end peripherals. The leatherette palm rest works very well. Unfortunately, the mouse is not a first-class conductor from MS, but a simpler optical mouse. It works well but leaves some nostalgia for the better defined, button-rich File Explorer 3.0. The keyboard shape itself is a bit mixed, it feels like Microsoft…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Keys sticky, mouse buttons hard to press, unresponsive

I've been using the Natural Wireless Keyboard for a long time, but it broke and I was looking for a replacement. I bought this keyboard thinking it would be a good keyboard and boy was I wrong. First of all, if you're familiar with natural keyboards, these are the ones that have a split keyboard and the keys are spaced at least an inch apart down the middle. The comfortable keyboard isn't split down the middle, it's just curved and should feel the same, but it doesn't. I typed about two letters

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Speed

mouse button stuck?

My initial experience with this keyboard/mouse was very good, but it didn't stop there. Mouse buttons tend to be ignored by the system quite often. In other words, while the keyboard and cursor send their signals to the computer and seem to be received by the computer without any problems, mouse buttons require numerous clicks (or extremely hard hits) to send their signal to the computer. Sometimes the solution is to move the mouse while holding down the button. Unfortunately, a couple of times

Pros
  • Only positives
Cons
  • Reliability
