Experiment with wireless keyboards

After sneezing red wine into my Mac keyboard I needed another and decided on a wireless keyboard. I went with the cheapest Microsoft 700 model, but it was compatible with Mac(s).

  • Durable test results

CRITICAL ITEM

I am very disappointed with this Microsoft keyboard but I really like the mouse. My biggest issue with the keyboard is how hard the keys are! I've never felt keys this tight on a Microsoft keyboard before. The second disappointment is that the letters are already being erased from the keys and I've only been using them for about a month.

I replaced my optical mouse and keyboard that came with my HP desktop computer with this device. The wireless keyboard runs on 2 AA batteries and
