The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

For the past fifteen years, I have gravitated toward using Microsoft's various peripherals. This is what we mean by comfort, reliability, and quality. The very first keyboard is still functional on a home computer, and other than the fact that it looks mangled, nobody has any further concerns about it. The pricing is reasonable in relation to the product's quality.

Pros
  • First and foremost, comfort. 100% compatible with the Windows operating system:) Duracell, by the way, boasts an exceptionally long lifespan for their batteries.
Cons
  • I was taken aback by the rumble of a space and one of the shifts, but the old school forced me to rummage among the bins and correct the defect on my own within a minute. Having a "cheaper" feel to the touch than earlier generations. Not everyone will be able to use Koleko in the mouse because it does not have defined positions.

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

twofold impression. In general, I enjoy it, and it seems like it would be comfy, but the way some things have been implemented makes the whole thing less appealing. If your hands do not sweat, are clean, and you work in the light at all times, this is an excellent option for you; however, you should not forget to bring extra batteries. Has pros: stunning, and you have the ability to bind actions to the top keys. keys that are springy and have a distinct pressure. radio module. The mouse…

The product is really good, Im glad I bought it.

If it weren't for the glaring misalignment with the letter "e," I'd say that it's an excellent choice for use in the workplace. I have nothing negative to say about the mouse because it works fine, but the scroll wheel does not make the usual clicking sounds and instead turns smoothly, so it may take some getting used to. Two more buttons on the side of the mouse do not function by default. Most likely, the instructions will explain how to assemble them in one of their sections. Has pros: Soft…

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

In general - better than most other keyboards, but worse than Sculpt Comfort five years ago. I bought it only because Sculpt Comfort, bought in the spring to replace the old one, turned out to be even bigger. Has some pros: The keyboard is comfortable, soft. Recording legs, rearranged at will. Some cons: 1. Until now, the frankly idiotic idea has not been outlived - to hang other functions on the F1 . F12 keys and forget to set the mechanical switch to normal mode, as is done on M $ Sculpt…

I used this model for 10 years, half of the buttons were erased, it is very convenient to use and layout. The last week of my life, the buttons began to pick up a lot, I had to change the keyboard. I was looking for exactly the same, I did not find it, I bought microsoft ergonomic. I can’t get used to the layout for 2 weeks already, I’m thinking of buying an old model that I’m used to)

Pros
  • Comfortable, durable

Still the best keyboard (bang for the buck)

Still the best keyboard (bang for the buck). I review once every few years so they don't last forever (I can type a lot but I don't overuse it) but I keep coming back for more. The mouse is pretty bad although others here love the mouse so it's all preference. If you upgrade from a 3000 to a 3050, the 3050 adds hardware encryption so no one can see what you're printing wirelessly. Additionally, some buttons (e.g. volume) are in a slightly different location. The 3050's buttons also feel better.

Pros
  • Always happy
Cons
  • Repair

Good keyboard, lousy mouse

I've had my keyboard and mouse for a month now. The mouse stopped working last week. I thought (because it was a brand new mouse) that the problem was with the computer. Two days of frustration and about a dozen power outages (because the mouse wasn't working. Finally I plugged in my old mouse (same make and model but the rubber came off the wheel) and everything was fine. A month old mouse is now in the trash (keyboard ok so won't be returning anything) I didn't like the mouse but when it…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

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…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Protective

Great mouse, good keyboard for some, but cons for business users.

Pros: Easy to install and connect. plug and play I have large hands and the shape of the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 fits better than the Logitech M510 I have on another system. Cons: No way to manually turn off the keyboard or mouse. They hope and pray that the power saving features work as advertised and that the batteries actually last 18 months. The function keys are half the size, and instead of F1, F2, F3, etc., Microsoft has replaced them with various multimedia key functions, with…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was

Great keyboard, ok mouse, weird error after install

I'm not a power user but I really like having the player and volume controls right on the keyboard and the calculator key is indispensable. For some reason, whether it's a keyboard or my computer, when I first plugged it in, I couldn't long-press or re-press any key on the keyboard, and every time I pressed a key, there was a clicking sound coming out of the speaker. You literally had to wait 3 seconds between each press. Sorting the misspelled word was excruciating. Somehow the "Use Filter…

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • unreliable

The more the merrier!: Computer accessories and peripherals

Let me start with the mouse and keyboard first, and they're big. If you have small hands or want a sleek design, look elsewhere. But if you have big hands and desk space like me, this keyboard and mouse is for you. Let's start with the mouse. I have the exact same mouse, probably bought about 15 years ago. It still works to this day. When not in use, the mouse goes into sleep mode to save battery power. Maybe I replace the batteries twice a year? I don't know, I have batteries so I don't care…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Back, bad design

I wanted to like this keyboard but it's hard to recommend. I have an old wireless MS keyboard, 850, with a 1000 series mouse. I really miss the back button on the mouse, so I "upgraded". This keyboard is full of junk. The extra keys to the left of the tilde and above the F-line make me angrily look down to press the right key. What world needs a dedicated email key on the keyboard? Most users default to Outlook, which is awkward to navigate with a mouse, but even worse without one. So the user…

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

If it were not for the obvious cant with "e", I would call it an ideal option for use in the office. I can’t say anything about the mouse, it behaves perfectly, but the wheel turns smoothly, without the usual clicks, you have to get used to it. Two additional side mouse buttons do not work by default. Probably somewhere in the instructions it says how to set them up.

Pros
  • Soft key travel. Additional keys (for browser, mail, player, calculator). The height is adjustable. Tactilely pleasant to the touch.
Cons
  • The biggest drawback is the microscopic Esc button: small in size, low in height. As a result, the "e" key is pressed instead of Escape every time. Since Esc is a very popular button, I dont understand this designers decision. An obvious mistake. Probably those who use all the buttons, starting with F1, it will be just as inconvenient.
