Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 (PP4-00001), Black: Superior Ergonomics and Performance Review

Keyboard There's a keyboard, right? No, it's amazing! The keyboard's smooth curvature makes typing much easier when you're sitting in a corner with your arms by your sides. I never realized how much my wrists flexed on a straight keyboard until I started using it. I've always typed really fast and this keyboard lets me type even faster because it fits me. It's very comfortable, including wrist support. I downloaded the Microsoft driver for setting up hotkeys, but I probably won't bother with…

I like this keyboard and mouse primarily for their design and aesthetics. However, only a week has passed since the purchase and already there are problems with the mouse. It just didn't work anymore. I read somewhere on the internet that taking the batteries out for a while would help. I did that and it really helped get it working again, but obviously it's some sort of problem that will most likely persist. Plus, it was noisy for the first few days of use, and each click felt like a spring…

I'll start this review by saying that I like this keyboard. mouse, yes Everything is fine, but there are small complaints. The only downside that affects both the mouse and keyboard is the USB dongle. That's way too long and I would prefer a key from MS Sculpt keyboards or Logitech transceivers. They are simply smaller, more compact, seem more durable and don't get in the way. I'll look at the pros and cons of the mouse and keyboard separately. Keyboard: Pros: No split keyboard, so slightly…

month. First, keystrokes disappeared, and now they're completely disabled. Hopefully just a bad one and I'll get an exchange.Update. The product is absolute junk. I have an exchange and the same questions. accidental shutdown and forgetting to enter the windows login. The first key entered is not captured. I replaced a cheap Dell wireless keyboard and mouse and they work fine. I also disabled bluetooth sleep function and same problem. This is the first time I've felt so compelled to write a bad

I love how ergonomic the keyboard feels, but after only 4 uses, neither mouse nor keyboard stopped working. The USB device is no longer recognized by my computer. Update - I've only had this product for 5 weeks. Revain does not allow returns and Revain Support advised me to contact Microsoft for assistance. Literally 2 hours later on the phone with MS support they offered a replacement and I have to pay for the faulty unit to be shipped. The box is about 30x3x9, packing and shipping from home…

I had a much earlier model that I liked so I bought this one thinking it would be the same or even better. The mouse is a piece of junk. This is an optical mouse and the mouse pointer twitches and jumps all over the place and is extremely difficult to control. I changed the mouse pads, cleaned the pads and the mouse. I moved the USB port to another USB port closer to the mouse. However, he jumps a lot. Seems worst in the dark. The keyboard is ok, but the old one was better. The Caps Lock and…

Well, I've been involved with Microsoft ergonomic keyboards since the late 1990's - almost 20 years I think. They were generally very comfortable keyboards that just "felt" right and were therefore very easy to use. This particular keyboard follows that tradition on a physical level. My hands are relaxed while typing and everything is fine. Unfortunately, the "Wireless" function does not work properly. Very often the first character entered is ignored. This is especially painful when the first…

I don't even know where to start. But "out of the box" nothing works. For example, I'm used to pressing F2 in Windows Explorer to rename the selected file. In Excel, you can use F2 to edit the cell. Those things don't work. I have no idea how to get F2 to work normally with utility stuff. Mouse scrolling is slooooooooooow. Again, the utility allows you to change the speed between "slow" and "fast" using the scroll bar. But actually nothing happens. You use the scroll wheel in the middle and the

Update: After using this keyboard for about a month, I've noticed that this keyboard is actually not as ergonomic as I thought it would be. . I still have one of these, and one weekend I noticed my hands were all tingling trying to type fast on this thing. I stuck with it for a while but found that I wasn't really getting what I really wanted from this keyboard, which was something I could type a lot on and feel comfortable on for a long time, and at the same time be able to type very quickly…
