I love the look of this set!

I was specifically looking for a pink wireless keyboard and mouse for my pink office decor and came across Revain. I thought the multi colored typewriter style keys were very cute and they look just as cute in person as they do in the pictures. However, this is not the most modern keyboard. The typewriter style will take some getting used to - I feel like the keys are further apart than on a regular keyboard so my typing isn't as easy/quick as usual. To be honest, I wouldn't use this for long typing (if you're a writer, for example, I wouldn't use it). When I was working from home one day and had to type a lot, I actually switched to my usual boring black keyboard. I thought the mouse was responding. It goes to sleep if it's been inactive for a while, but it only takes a few seconds to "wake up" again. Connecting was very easy. I just plugged in a 2.4GHz USB receiver and the computer recognized it immediately. I've used it on both my PC and laptop (Intel/Windows 10). There is a power button on the back of the mouse which I hope will save battery life. When I turned it off, the mouse obviously doesn't work, but I've found that the keyboard still works. So I'm not sure if that means the keyboard is on all the time when the mouse can be turned off (the keyboard also needs its own battery - one takes an AA battery and the other takes an AAA battery, and I think the keyboard needs 2 batteries ).The last 2 pictures explain where the USB receiver was kept as I was very stupid and couldn't find it for a long time. The yellow sticker on the bottom of the mouse says "USB Receiver Inside" suggesting it's in the battery compartment, but there is actually a small white tab under the yellow sticker that says "2.4GHz" – yes, this is very obvious to 99% of people. I'm sure, but just in case you were as stupid as me, here it is! All in all I got this combo for the aesthetics and love it. It's cute, fits my setup well, works great and is easy to set up. The keyboard is only good for surfing the web, typing multiple emails, or using multiple keys to play PC games. If you are going to type a lot, I would recommend a higher quality and more comfortable keyboard.
