At £23.99, this keyboard is brilliant! The mouse is alright, but I have some problems with it (paaragraph 2)My previous keyboard was a lot more simple than this one - spaced out keys, noisy keys, no media buttons, etc. This keyboard is almost the opposite but I definitely prefer it! It makes virtually no sound at all when you're typing which is great for working (or gaming!) at night when everybody else is trying to sleep, and also the keys in the vertical-middle of the keyboard are slightly lower than the others which makes typing a lot more comfortable. The rest is of a good quality although I haven't really used it because I am not used to having one!There's plenty of media buttons at your disposal which I'll have to play around with but I doubt I'll use them much.+ comfortable+ quiet+ plenty of extra buttons!- esc, f1-f12, prtscn, scrlk, pause and the calculator are all buttons rather than keys which could be against your liking.- no Caps Lock light to say if it's on or off, but there is a visual screen notification telling you this. I prefer lights :)The mouse, on the other hand, isn't quite as good. It's a comfortable shape and the right sort of size for a fifteen-year-old's hand and I have no complaints on it's surface ability due to the "Bluetrack Technology", but the wheel of the mouse isn't really to my liking. I've only ever had two mice in my lifetime so I don't know if this is the new design of mouse or something but the wheel hasn't got any grooves or notches so it's a little less precise when scrolling. I had to install the microsoft software (which, by the way, was ridiculously easy to do) and managed to make the scrolling more precise but having no bumps in the wheel is definitely a problem for me.+ comfortable+ sensitive+ software makes scrolling and movement easy to customize to your liking- wheel has no notches so scrolling isn't as nice as my previous mouse- don't expect to present it on a "best looking mouse" show, because it's rather boring. Black and grey is worse than just black.So, for £23.99, this is a damn good keyboard. I looked around for weeks on amazon at Logitech and Microsoft keyboards and I'm glad I took so long reading all the reviews to see the problems and benefits. Thank you to all those who took the time to write reviews and those who marked the good ones as helpful, it really helped me choose this wonderful package.(It's 4 stars because of the mouse's minor fault - a 5 star product shouldn't have any)

I have owned this keyboard/mouse set for about two years. The set is very nice in terms of its functionality. The keyboard is a full-sized keyboard but not overly large or heavy, so it doesn't take up too much space or feel too bulky. I can easily pick this up and use it in multiple places around my computer. The keyboard also has a nice set of extra buttons (to launch extra programs, control music/video playback, and adjust volume) that I frequently use. Moreover, the keyboard is set up so that the extra butons are placed at the top; I do not need to worry about accidentially hitting something like I did when I used my previous keyboard (a Logitech wireless keyboard).The mouse is a standard 3-button mouse that seems a little small for my hand, but it has worked for the most part. The received is OK; it works over a few meters, but it doesn't work well if inserted into a rear port on a desktop computer.While the keyboard has held up well over two years, the mouse is beginning to disintegrate. The padding went about a year ago, and the pads shredded the surface underneath it until I peeled them off. Now the rubberized surfaces are disintegrating. This is a particular problem with the rubber belt on the outside of the scroll wheel, which is on the verge of coming off, which would make it difficult to use. As it is, the scroll wheel has become more stiff recently.Overall, this is a decent product. The keyboard is simple but nice to use and will probably last another year at least. The mouse, however, was not quite as good and may be approaching the end of its life.

I was a bit wary spending so little on a wireless keyboard and mouse, but my fears were completely misplaced in this Microsoft pair. The keyboard seems very solid, possibly a bit noisy for some, but compared to what I work with a dream, and the mouse is weighted perfectly.The function keys at the top of the keyboard seem a bit pointless to me, I have set them up to use them, but have yet to do so when I've wanted something that they are linked to, and there is very little flexibility in what the majority of them do, however as I hardly use them, this doesn't detract from the keyboard. Thankfully I am yet to need new batteries, although I have only had it a couple of weeks - but my last wireless set needed batteries once a week or so,so it's already a massive improvement as far as I'm concerned!I was incredibly impressed with the delivery time of this item, which we worked out to be under 36 hours. Not bad for Free Super Saver delivery!All in all, a good budget buy, that doesn't feel budget when it arrives!

This does exactly what I need from a wireless keyboard and mouse.I've always liked Microsoft keyboards, but favoured logitech mice. I have recently begun working from home and wanted to set up a work rig on the same desk as my personal pc, sharing my personal pc monitors.This allowed me to connect the work PC up and use at the same time as my personal PC, by using a monitor from that setup. I could then easily flick the monitor back to the personal PC, and store away these devices. Very helpful.They work well, connectivity is good - plug and play. Battery life so far has been excellent.The keyboard is a bit 'clicky', but I'm used to that type anyway.It loses a star as I think the mouse could be a bit more ergonomic..it's isn't hugely comfortable to hold.The best thing I can say about this, is that if I needed another wireless mouse and keyboard combo, I'd just go straight and buy this one again.

Plug my laptop into monitor, plug this into my laptop (usb very unobtrusive and fits either in back of keyboard or under mouse when not being used.) now I can write my essays in comfort wherever I am in my room. Great for chatting, skype or IM when you can just sit back and relax giving you a much more comfortable and natural conversation. Also clears desk space as you can have this on your lap or put it to one side when you need to write something down. Keyboard has a nice, comfortable hand rest with a comfortable texture to prevent wrist/hand injuries. (very useful for reducing essay cramp)Mouse works well on any surface, carpet, bed, girls bum ;) and feels comfortable in your hand.Just remember to turn it off after you have finished using it or your batteries will not last very long at all. AAA for keyboard, AA for mouse.

after using a ton of keyboards & mice over the years I settled upon almost identical wired versions of this keyboard & mouse as my choice product, when I found out they sold both of these as a package in wireless form I was a very happy man, I own 2 sets & love them, they work flawlessly. Only changed batteries in 1 mouse so far they lasted 4 months of constant daily use!. The mouse works great on almost any surface. For perfect operation have the usb dongle in line of sight, I use a short usb extension cable to the desktop, I did have slight issues when it was under the desk. Both keyboard & mouse have that very standard/ workhorse design to them but subtly smoothed out to just the right amount,very well designed, extremely strong durable construction, made to withstand heavy daily use. For me this product is perfection

I have been using a 5 year old wireless Logitech keyboard/mouse setup and have recently become very frustrated with interference issues. I replaced it with this Microsoft keyboard/Mouse combos and I am very pleased.I use the keyboard and mouse about 10 feet from the usb transmitter/receiver (which is about 4cm long) with a Windows Media Center setup and the reception is excellent, I have had no transmission issues, unlike my old Logitech setup. In the same room is a 2.4ghz wifi receiver, in the next room is a 2.4ghz wifi transmitter and a separate 2.4ghz video transmitter with 2.4ghz phone nearby and no device has experienced any interference, they all work perfectly.So I am very happy,everything works perfectly and super fast. Highly recommended!

Purchased this item. Looked at many many keyboards as i don't like the new small keyboards, I like something solid. I was not disappointed. Lovely to work with, keys are great and like the zoom in and out buttons at the top. It is my first wireless keyboard and have found that the life of the batteries are so far ok. I have purchased some rechargeable batteries for it. In fact i love it so that i have just purchased another one as a spare.Can I also say that i purchased this to use with a windows 8 desktop. Was worried that it may not be compatible as it only mentioned windows 7 on the box. I couldn't get the zoom in and out buttons to work yesterday but got up today and there was an automatic update for it,they now work.

I bought this mouse and keyboard combo for my media PC. With other mouse and keyboards I have had issues with signal strength but with this set I have not had a single problem. The mouse has BlueTrack technology and works on almost every surface you have to offer. Must importantly this combo features AES which means the keyboard and mouse are linked to the dongle. Therefore, neither interfers with my other Microsoft wireless mouse which I have for my laptop in the same room.Overall, a very good product for the price. There is nothing wrong with this product. The only reason to spend more money is for something smaller or more stylish.

Firstly I would like to say that this keyboard is excellent for my needs. It is a good size and the keys are nicely spaced for ease of typing and reduces typing errors. The wireless mouse is nice and chunky and responds extremely well. My only gripe is that there is no keyboard light to indicate when you have CAPS or Num Lock on.I am not a touch typist and I only glance at my screen when typing periodically to check spelling etc. And how annoying it can be to realise I have typed a whole sentence in capitals by no de-selecting the CAPS lock. If Microsoft could add this one tiny feature then the keyboard would be simply perfect!

The keyboard is breat for gameing as well, im a big games and the preaviouse keyboard wirelles didn't expect my expectations and it broke after 1 year so i bought new one never had microisoft but thought what the heck let's give a try and it was good :) i can sit on my sofa and easily use from 4,5 m away it works up to 10 range. I use my Desktop pc and i connect to my Samsung 6 3d tv FullHD 46" works like a charm.P.S.I soon gona buy new gameing mouse and headphones form my laptop which arrives next week. i7 8gb 1TB 17.3 . My desktop pc is 5 years old so i decided to buy items in amazone and not in ebay.

I've had loads of keyboards over the years and this is one is fine. There's nothing flashy about it, it just works. Unpack, stick the batteries in, whack in the USB dongle and it's working. I've been using one of these sets for a month now, all day at work and found no complaints.The only improvement I'd like to see is a smaller dongle. This one is standard size (about an inch or so long). Better would be the miniature style that does not stick out from the side of a laptop and therefore one that could be left plugged in when the laptop is in the bag.

I was unable to find the 800 model for sale still so I went with this 2000 model, to me the keyboard has too many unrequired buttons along the top but otherwise it's a solid keyboard, nice button press feeling, slightly soft.The mouse has been great so far and reponds to all kinds of movement quick and small without jumping a beat, my only problem is that the mouse wheel has a very heavy click to it which makes it annoying to use, I also find that the mouse wheel could benefit from being a little further back for people with smaller hands.

One very major flaw with the keyboard is lack of CAPS lock notification. Such a basic but key thing to miss. The function keys are very narrow too.It is so annoying when you can type in wrong password again without realising. Should have done with Logitech 520 at same price. Mouse is ok - a bit on the heavy side but I'm ok with. Encryption is a good feature.EDIT - Upgraded to 4 start - Install the latest version of IntelliPoint (v8.2) to be able to see on screen notification of caps lock.

Excellent product. I own two: one for home, one for office. Just a warning... when there are USB 3.0 devices plugged in nearby, signal interference may cause wireless mice and keyboards to act funny (for example, non-responsive for a few seconds). This is not the fault of this product, it is the fault of USB 3.0 in general. The issue may occur with virtually all wireless mice and keyboards (including those that use Bluetooth), and it is not an issue specific to this product.
