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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

tl;dr version - buy now, regret later

Pros - Slim, compact and cool looking. Bluetooth is responsive and has a good range. Disadvantages - everything else. IN GENERAL - this thing is so deliberately capricious paired with Win 10 that there are entire forum threads talking about it. Some people couldn't fix the problem even after updating all drivers. (In my case I updated all win drivers, all manufacturer drivers and bios. This finally helped.) MOUSE. The mouse is just weird. The flat, anti-ergonomic design makes it annoying to accidentally press the wrong button. This mouse is very voracious: it eats batteries like crazy. Not only is it MUCH more convenient, it also has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges via mini-USB. (Search for the keywords "Slim Rechargeable 3 Adjustable DPI Level" and you will find it.) KEYBOARD - No dedicated Fn keys. "Everything looks "clicky” and wobbly. Shake this keyboard and you will literally hear a rumble. This leads to: - High-quality assembly. It's terrible. It's just not designed for long-term use. Mine died less than a year later - and by "dead" I mean that the keys (yes, plural) began to become unresponsive or fall out of their sockets and refused to come back. Goodbye, "Ctrl" and "Esc". Farewell, "A" - I will miss all the events we spent together. Finally, I also smashed the (a)rd keyboard and settled on the one that has "Wireless Elite Keyboard v2" in the product description. It's a bigger but much more reliable keyboard with Fn(!) keys and some cool bells and whistles like built-in keyboard shortcuts that even work when playing videos. It ended up costing less than the two-piece designer set and was a lot more fun. So I give 7N9-00001 a thumbs down.

Pros
  • BlueTrack Technology: Combines the power of optics with the precision of a laser for superior mouse tracking on virtually any surface. BlueTrack technology does not work on transparent glass or mirror surfaces.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
