Revainrating 5 out of 5

Getting the most out of computers and accessories

The wireless mouse and keyboard are great. I'm a very hesitant buyer when it comes to computer peripherals, but this purchase broke the barrier. My work has become more efficient. I can put the keyboard on my lap and relax remotely in a chair. Range is sometimes an issue, but trust me, it's not that bad. For those who don't know how it works, there's a receiver with a long cable that you just plug into the back of your computer. So you're measuring the distance from the receiver, not the processor. The maximum distance you can easily travel is about 5 feet from the receiver. The mouse too, but the laser only recognizes flat surfaces. Music is more fun too; At the top of the keyboard are play, stop, and volume buttons. You can make others do what you want. My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, Media, Mail, Web/Home and Messenger are available shortcuts. In addition, it has a quick calculator button, log out and sleep. There are three lights on the receiver, each showing which features are on or off (or you can hide the receiver, it's not big). There is an F-Lock key to toggle between the regular F-keys and the New, Open, and Save buttons. The keyboard has a very nice design. If you don't like black, this might change your mind. When typing, the keyboard makes almost no noise. If you're tired of the wired mouse and keyboard you're currently using and looking for something new, this is for you.
