The gaming keyboard and mouse combo works great. I wish the backlit keys were programmable, but remember this is the only backlit wireless gaming keyboard and mouse out there I think. There are only a few other backlit wireless gaming keyboards that don't come with a mouse, so you'll have to ditch the extra USB port (for the dongle) and get a separate wireless mouse. Although the instruction manual could be more informative. Also included was a Battlegrounds mouse pad, which I wasn't expecting. Not a Battlegrounds fan, but a mouse pad is the perfect flexible material for use in bed, which is where I use it.
