Review on Black Microsoft Wireless ๐Ÿ’ป Desktop 850 with AES Encryption (PY9-00001) by Dionne Powers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There is no real escape. Inseparable hardware from birth, the keyboard will not survive without a mouse.

I type all day at work, fast, about 125 wpm on a bad day. I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts, tab changes, and window transitions. The buttons have a good click for such a long profile. The mouse has a good enough resolution for basic gaming and graphic design and also offers fast loading times. The seamless installation on a Windows 10 laptop took only a few seconds. Simply insert the batteries, turn on the mouse, which controls power to the keyboard via the included connection (more on that later), and the keyboard itself doesn't have its own power button. . After that, just plug in your wireless USB dongle/adapter and the rest of the setup is automatic and super quick. Don't be silly and don't expect this thing to be used for competitive gaming, it's wireless and runs on regular batteries. Two things to note: The keyboard is factory coded for the specific mouse that is in the box. Great for easy setup and security, but IF YOU LOSE THE MOUSE THERE THE KEYBOARD IS WORTHLESS. There is no realistic way around this. Secondly, the Escape key is hard to find and will taunt you if you look for it in your angriest moments. Don't worry, the mouse still works fine after you throw the keyboard in the bay. (but the keyboard is not interchangeable, sooooo good to see if someone just needs a mouse and start over by giving the mouse to someone in need)

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Will do
