I'm not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

Why choose this kit:

I was looking for a mouse and keyboard with one receiver. I work on a laptop that has only a couple of USB connectors, and I didn’t want to plug them with two receivers.

I was forced to purchase this kit. manufacturers stubbornly continue to make obscure kits in which either a good keyboard and a terrible mouse, or vice versa. And in this kit, at first glance, it seems that both are not bad, but this is only at first glance. I feel I will have to buy another mouse and throw this one (which came with the kit, and for which I also had to pay) to be thrown away.
I put 3 because of the mouse. The purchase is not entirely satisfied.
Bought in July 2022 for 5200 ($100).
The red price for this set is $50.

Pros

1. They tried to make the mouse ergonomic - this is a big plus. 99% of keyboard+mouse kits come with defective oval mice without additional keys. The mouse from this kit supports 6 clicks, two wheel modes (classic, and free without friction for scrolling large documents). Each of the 6 clicks (buttons) can be finely customized (standard action, one of the system actions, program opening, keyboard shortcuts.). Next to the wheel there is a small button for a mechanical wheel mode switch. 2. Quiet running of most keys on the keyboard (not all. See disadvantages). Nothing else special.

Cons

1. Some keys hit each other, resulting in these keys being pressed with unpleasant friction, reminiscent of cheap keyboards with low travel. 2. The stroke of the keys on the keyboard is too soft, without a well-tangible edge of the transition from the "key not pressed" state to the "key moves down" state. Although on keyboards with low travel (and this keyboard is apparently positioned as such), this is one of the main "chips". 3. The mouse works crookedly. If you are used to a good mouse, then now you have to drown out your bewilderment from the fact that you do not get to the button due to the fact that the mouse does not work accurately. You simply do not hit the buttons, because. cursor movement randomly deviates from mouse movement by 10-20%. There is a slight delay when the direction of the mouse is changed abruptly. Checking is quite simple - you just need to move the mouse up and down 10 times. At the same time, fix your wrist. You will see that the cursor "dances" gradually going up and down (gradually - it means after several repetitions of the "up and down" movement), while the mouse remains in place. you fixed your wrist. The same thing happens when moving sideways. Altogether unpleasant.
