Review on 🖥️ Enhanced Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Set (7N9-00001), in Classic Black by Emilie Clorina

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for desktop smartphones

I bought this keyboard and mouse specifically for the Samsung S7 because of the Bluetooth connectivity. I thought I would mainly use it for editing OfficeSuite documents. Much to my surprise, both the mouse and keyboard are very comfortable for most Android navigation and functions. Note that my S7 is on a Nanami wireless charger which gives the correct viewing angle. I also set the mouse pointer speed to high to get the right responsiveness. Once a mouse is paired, a mouse/trackpad speed setting is available under Language & input. First, you can use the thumbwheel to scroll through the home screens, and the alt-tab shortcut opens the recent apps screen to scroll through recent apps with the wheel. , right-click acts as a back button, and keyboard media keys work with Google Play Music even on lock screens and always-on display. Tapping and dragging the edges of the screen is equivalent to swiping, and pressing the scroll wheel is equivalent to pressing the home button. When editing, the mouse makes cursor placement much easier than using your fingertips and dragging selected selection endpoints. Not only does the keyboard simplify key input, but all the positioning keys (e.g. Left/Right/Up/Down arrows, PgUp/PgDn, Home, End) as well as the Delete and Backspace keys work as expected. Yes, the Delete key deletes characters in front of the cursor! And the Ctrl, Shift, and Ctrl-Shift selection function works as expected with the positioning keys. Note that left-clicking and holding will highlight the word, not double-clicking. All in all, using the keyboard and mouse brought unexpected and much-appreciated features to the S7. While any Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo does the same thing, this Microsoft combo gets the job done while being pleasing to the eye and touch. Either way, the keyboard and mouse are great accessories for those looking to extend their smartphone experience to the desktop.
