    4 out of 5 stars Nice configuration   May 2, 2010
    L. Burr (Albion, CA United States)
    Although a bit big for my desk, this keyboard is comfortable and easy to use. My only beef is that the space bar doesn't always make a space, which is a royal pain for a speed typist. Also, I wish it came with instructions: I'm used to a Mac keyboard and this one has things on it that I haven't a clue how to use. The wrist rest is really nice to have, especially since I have carpal tunnel problems and my fingers fall asleep. With the wrist rest, this doesn't happen. Merchant delivered on time as promised. Box was slightly crushed on one side but keyboard and mouse were well packaged and were not damaged. Overall, it's an outstanding deal, especially considering the price.


    4 out of 5 stars Pretty good combo   February 25, 2010
    OwlDaddy
    Pros:
    Keyboard has a nice feel to it.
    Extra pre-programmed and programmable keys on keyboard can be useful (especially volume control).
    Both the keyboard and mouse are USB, but they both come with PS2 adapters should you need them.
    FYI--compatible with Windows 7 (I was directed to the Microsoft website for the proper drivers when I tried to load the drivers off of the enclosed CD).

    Cons:
    First mouse I received had a problem with its scroll wheel. It made loud clicking noises and could not scroll up without scrolling back down some (had a weird spring resistance when scrolling up, so it naturally wanted to scroll back down after you finished scrolling up).
    Second keyboard I received did not feel as nice as the first (harder to push the keys). Maybe it would have loosened up after more use though.

    As you can see from my cons, the first mouse showed up defective. The good news is that when I contacted both Microsoft and Amazon (I was confused who I should deal with), both were very responsive. Amazon ended up emailing me a return mailing label (postage-paid) and shipped me a replacement combo via 2-day shipping. I talked with them late Thursday afternoon and received the replacement on Tuesday. I emailed Microsoft and the customer rep emailed me a few times over the next few days; sounds like they would have shipped me a new mouse if I had been past the 30-day window. I would normally be a little hesitant to recommend this combo given the defective mouse and the feel of the second keyboard (not terrible, but not as nice as the first). But since I received such excellent customer service I'll just dock it a star for the quality issues I saw.



    5 out of 5 stars Perfect for home use too!   January 23, 2010
    imokay! (ATL, GA USA)
    This was a fabulous purchase. The keys do not make a lot of noise when you type. The wrist-rest is very comfortable so that your hand is not stressed at an odd angle if you are on the computer for a while. The mouse is very ergonomic as well. I am glad that I purchased this set for my home desktop.


    5 out of 5 stars Can't beat this one at this price   December 12, 2009

    Excellent for everyday use. You can't beat it at that price. But as the name says, it's design for business use, not for game. My old mouse from this set quit working after two years office use, the famous double click problem. I get a new set, but the mouse button feels less comfortable(harder) than the old one. Indeed, that one is two years old, may not be good to compare, but I'm sure the feeling changed.


    5 out of 5 stars Great keyboardand mouse; good price   October 29, 2009

    This is one of the best keyboards I've ever used. Good touch, lots of shortcuts (print, send, web, zoom, spell, etc. etc.and programmable keys. I am so happy with it. The mouse is good too. I replaced it with a sluggish mouse that didn't work very well. Considering you get 2 good products for the price, I think it is an excellent buy as well.

    I don't think any of you will be disappointed.
