Review on Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 Black Keyboard and Mouse (PP4-00001) by Jared Winebrenner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the value I was looking for - wish I could send it back

What saddens me is that the 30 day return period has barely passed. I bought this keyboard to replace an old Microsoft 3000 wired keyboard that was good but is no longer made. I had it for 10 years and finally the key started to stick. What I don't like about the 3050 wireless keyboard and mouse: 1) The keyboard is soft in response. I'm good at typing and I make typos all the time. Doesn't feel like a wired 3000 keyboard. 2) I've had the keyboard for 6 weeks now and the letter "D" is already partially worked out. It now looks like an inverted "C". I'm sure others will follow soon. You can do better than Microsoft, especially for nearly $50 with taxes. 3) I didn't like the feel of the wireless mouse so I went back to my wired blue Microsoft Laster mouse.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Protective
