Reviewer	Product Review
Murph Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: more than 1 year	8/11/2008 2:36:57 PM Best mouse/keyboard I have ever used Pros: Don't listen to the other reviews, they are just nit-picking at stuff that isn't even true. The keys are very quite and seem very soft and if you set up all the hot keys it can be really useful. As for the mouse it's great. The 2 buttons on the side are great. I kept them at their defaults(magnify and Back in internet browser) which are very useful. Highly recommend this to anyone. Cons: Takes a bit of getting used to the ergonomical feel of the mouse and keyboard, if you used a old one before. Other Thoughts: Easy on the wrists as well. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
lordNOOB Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: more than 1 year	11/26/2007 1:00:59 AM Pros: Keyboard and mouse are comfortable. Only control button labels are slightly worn, rest is still like new. Accurate mouse. Cons: Keyboard buttons are noisy. Mouse side buttons feel cheap. Scrolling doesnt click and is too fast (in any setting). Wireless is flawed, and unstable at times. Keyboard doesnt behave properly at times (only occasionally while gaming). Weak drivers. Other Thoughts: With better drivers and without the problems of wireless this would get 5 eggs. However, dont get this if you plan on gaming. Also, switching from an ergo to standard keyboard on a daily basis makes me type less accurately and slower than I previously could.

mcpheif Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/21/2007 4:04:39 PM MS keyboard..not worth it Pros: I like the wave keyboard ergonomics, that is a plus. The fast keys and the zoom on both the mouse and keyboard are also good. Cons: You can not use this keyboard with a FPS game because the mouse and keys can not be used in conjunction for more than a few moments before the system stops recognizing the two. The only thing to do at this point is plug in another mouse(USB) and reboot. It is also not Vista campatible without a download from MS first. If the receiver is more than 12 inches away it will miss, very annoying for double clicks. Other Thoughts: I was really expecting better from MS...maybe I shouldn't have. not worth the money, especially if you are a gamer. Did you find this review helpful?

Billfire Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/3/2007 8:28:34 PM When it works it's great Pros: Both the keyboard and mouse are comfortable and easy to use. It's nice to have wireless when it works. Cons: It seems like sometimes you have to push keys very firmly to get it to work. I keep having problems with my mouse and keyboard "loosing contact" with the transmitter and having to reset them in order for them to work again even though the transmitter is a few feet away with no interference. Other Thoughts: I must say it's a pretty well made keyboard though, after its last episode quitting while I was in the middle of something it took flight across my bedroom and made a resounding bounce off of the back wall and into the floor spraying keys everywhere but after a little cool down time, putting the keys back in and resetting it again it works like a champ.....until next time.

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	10/8/2007 6:24:05 PM Keyboard breaks easily Pros: nice feel to it Cons: the keys on it break easily. Even with that I still buy this board. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
CuriouS Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	10/1/2007 9:39:40 PM Failure Pros: It looks very nice and is very comfortable. Cons: Scrolling and mmb went out after 10 minutes of playing a game. Tried different batteries and tried different computer. Other Thoughts: DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!1 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
macaddictg4 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/1/2007 3:37:42 PM Awesome Combo Pros: Great keyboard/mouse combo. Good feedback on the keys, nice curves make the mouse comfortable. Mouse feels responsive. Cons: Forward and back buttons on mouse are somewhat awkward to hit compared to my old Intellimouse Explorer. The curvature of the keys took a little getting used to from a regular keyboard, but only when I'm not typing in home row. Other Thoughts: Bought this as a relatively inexpensive keyboard mouse combo to use on my secondary computer. I liked the set so much that I replaced my very old (read: very comfortable, i liked them a lot to have them so long) Microsoft mouse and keyboard so that I could be wireless on my main computer. I was worried about ordering a keyboard online as I'm very picky about the feel of the keys, but this keyboard feels great. Did you find this review helpful?

Samson Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/24/2007 9:46:02 AM Good for the money Pros: Solid performance from a wireless keyboard/mouse combination. Good feel and response on the keyboard. Mouse is absolutely fantastic. Cons: Do not try to use for fast action games. Keyboard and mouse will not both send signals through the wireless system simultaneously. It is intermittent at best. Also the "F Lock" key is clumsy setup, especially if you use the F-row keys (and print screen) regularly. Other Thoughts: Microsoft mice have long time been my favorites, this mouse is incredible and is worth the money paid for this by itself. The keyboard is good, but as stated, it isn't perfect.

Bighead255 Tech Level: high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/16/2007 11:21:03 AM Cheap feel Pros: just an average keyboard mouse combo. Cons: Feels cheap cant believe its a Microsoft. My last combo was a Logitech and it felt like quality this thing feels inferior. Its cheap but not a bargin spend the extra couple bucks and get a logitech I will soon. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/5/2007 9:02:19 AM OK Keyboard Pros: Nice looking, easy setup, ok feel, great price. Cons: Last one died after a year or so. Space bar spring action went away but couldn't find anything broken. Hope this one lasts longer. Other Thoughts: Stick with NewEgg... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Kenny Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year	6/22/2007 10:49:42 PM Great setup Pros: Works great, all software and all functions work flawlessly. Doing everyday computer functions without a problem. Works great with most games. Cons: If I had any thing bad to say it would have to be that the left mouse had a tendency to stick after prolonged use. We have two and am replacing one mouse now. Other Thoughts: If you do heavy gaming get a gaming setup. This is a work designed setup and works great at what it was designed to do. Did you find this review helpful?

Cyberdragon Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/18/2007 7:23:02 PM Smooth as butter.... Pros: Newegg as usual is a flawless company to deal with....The ergonomic design is VERY comfortable on the hands and wrists. The wrist guard is also very comfortable and useful. The mouse is, for lack of a better descriptive term, smooth as butter. the movements and tracking are flawless and smooth. The scroll button in middle is also perfectly smooth...no clicks or jerky scrolling. Looks are very clean, professional and modern. Microsoft has hit the nail on the head with this series of keyboards and mouses. Cons: None. ...and I mean None... Other Thoughts: I have owned many different combinations of mouses and keyboards, ranging from cheap to insanely expensive. This one is Definitely one of the best I have ever put my fingers on. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
JUSTOUT4U Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	4/20/2007 8:26:22 PM GOOD PRICE AND MOUSE, ALMOST CLEAR KEYS Pros: ITS A GOOD PRICE FOR THE MOUSE AND THE KEYBOARD WORKS GOOD TOO. NO DANAGE DONE TO PACKAGING OR PRODUCT AND IT CAME IN 2 DAYS! Cons: KEYS ON KEYBOARD ARE CLEAR AND YOU CAN SEE THE TABS THE LOCK THEM TO THE BOARD. LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD LIGHT UP. BUT YOU CANT TELL THE KEYS ARE CLEAR FROM ONLINE PICS. Other Thoughts: GREAT SHIPPING AGAIN NEWEGG. ORDERED ON TUESDAY NIGHT LATE AND WAS HERE ON THURSDAY WITH GROUND SHIPPING.

selmer84 Tech Level: high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	4/13/2007 3:38:38 PM Pros: Keyboard works and the mouse is the best deal out of the package. Long range with wireless and not affected by other radio signals like a lot of other brands. Truely plug and play. Cons: Some of the settings were wrong but easily corrected. The package was all beat up inside the box. The spacebar was detached and popped right back on. Other Thoughts: Newegg shipping is the best. Order and 3 days later it's at your doorstep waiting on you to get there. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Ted S. Tech Level: average Ownership: less than 1 day	3/29/2007 4:41:34 AM Default F Keys Not Working Pros: LOOKS like a well built Keyboard. Solid construction. I read a criticism that the keys felt too "spongy" but I consider that a pro. Cons: I'm running XP Pro and the DEFAULT F keys would not work, no matter what setting I chose-F Lock On or Off. A bit too thick unless you set the keyboard to overhang on the edge of your desk. The "Inteli" software caused nothing but problems! I followed directions (install software BEFORE inserting USB pod) but when I removed the software and went back to a restore point my old PS2 keyboard & mouse were not recognized!! Fortunately they were recognized when I chose a restore point from a couple of days earlier. Other Thoughts: I'm really disappointed this keyboard didn't work for me. As I said, I like the way it feels. Most of the other keyboards I checked out in retail stores had a cheap kind of feel to them, which is why I chose this one. Pity. Did you find this review helpful?

upcode Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	3/23/2007 3:42:37 PM Great Product for the Price Pros: Very High Dpi Mouse. keyboard is easy to use Cons: Keys seem cheap and feel is not great but I have not had a problem.

daz3dpanda Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: more than 1 year	10/29/2006 5:44:17 PM Annoying Radio Interference Pros: Nice ergonomic design without split keyboard, padding for palm rest feels comfortable and is wide enough for most hands, 1000 dpi on five button lazer mouse is accurate. Cons: Cheap feel, Very Annoying Weak Radio Signal! Mouse broke on me after heavy usage Other Thoughts: For the money i paid for this a while back ago around $xxx this was very disapointing keyboard combo. If anyone knows how it feels when there is radio interference and singal loss while your chatting or playing games this is definatly going to annoy you. i've actually returned this product and still had the same problems with radio interference. i've tried to move the reciever to several different locations away from any thing that was magnetic or gave off a singal. i even placed the reciever literally right next the the mouse and keyboard. these problems occured about 2 months after purchase. and it's been a re occuring problem atleast once a week. i can't stand this keyboard and mouse but i feel back buying a new set because of the amount of money i paid for it. Arrg! i will never by microsoft hardware ever again! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
kcconlin Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	10/16/2006 8:01:58 PM Locks up Pros: Nice ergonomics, generally works very well Cons: Occasionally locks up hard, most often in games. Sometimes keyboard, sometimes mouse, sometimes both. The reconnect buttons don't help, rebooting the PC doesn't help. Only powering down the PC or physically removing both PS2 connectors and re-attaching them solves the problem. Limited range. Other Thoughts: Haven't tried the mouse on the USB port yet to see if that helps. Microsoft is now advertising "v2" of this product on its website; I'd try that instead 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
ACHILLES Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	10/10/2006 11:08:52 AM ehhh Pros: this Keyboard and mouse is a really good deal. i like it a lot, its very comfterable. Cons: the keyboard is hard to program, the mouse is easy, just like a car radio, click and hold. but the keyboard is more diffuclut. ive read all the manuals and no sutch luck. u cant move very far from the transmitter. Other Thoughts: its big and the tracking on the mouse is excellent. like a games mouse. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
BicycleMonkey Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	9/3/2006 9:44:58 AM Signal degradation Pros: Nice keyboard layout Very comfortable mouse Cons: It started giving me "signal quality low" messages even while the receiver is less than a foot away. It states that the battery level is good on both the Keyboard and mouse but it's like they loose connection for about one second a couple times a minute. They keyboard quits responding or it will repeat the last key pushed (like I'm holding it down). When I move the mouse around it will stop and then start moving in about a second. It does all this whether I'm playing games or on the Windows desktop. Other Thoughts: great keyboard/mouse combo, but if yours does anything like this, return or exchange it immediately! I waited too late! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	9/2/2006 11:27:11 AM average Pros: its cool when it works. microsoft done its hw with the comfort side of the product, although it takes time to get used to, ALOT of programable keys, i never had that many in one product which is really grate, mouse has pretty good trucking but... Cons: first keyboard: its big (for some maybe pro) but for me its way out there, i had the a4 set which took 2/3 the space which this keyboard takes, second the signal is not that good, sometimes gets lost etc but after pressing channel button its back ( not that often just sometimes), range is kinda short, and it is hard to remember which keys were programed for what. mouse works pretty good only on one surface which is my solid wooden table , on all other surfaces it wasnt acurate at all (optical and regular mouse pads i tried like 7-10 of them), sometimes the signal is lost, but when it works it one of the best. And the last u eventually have to change the battery. Other Thoughts: this set didnt work with fifa2005-06 it somehow brought down my fps to 5, on all other games it worked fine (CS, Rome tottal war, and prey). When i swithced back to a4 set game (fifa) worked perfectly fine. dont really know what happened overall good idea but microsoft should spend some time on the signal quality then it will be perfect. I gave it 3 as not a bad product just average. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
jdkc4d Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	7/15/2006 10:34:46 AM Degrades over time Pros: When I first purchansed this combo everything worked great. I can use the keyboard from about 10 feet away withouth any problems. In the 3 months I've had this, I have never seen the battery meter drop below good. Cons: The wireless on the mouse seems to degrade over time. Replacing the batteries does not help. The tracking becomes very jerky up and down, but remains fine side to side. Even with the wireless receptor an inch away, it says it has a low signal. Changing channels has no effect. Other Thoughts: This is a decent keyboard. Way to go Microsoft. But you may want to skip the mouse. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
SwornPacifist Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/13/2006 9:27:34 AM Works great, very satisfied Pros: Signal quality, battery life, battery status indicator, laser tracking accuracy, comfortable form factor, recharging cradle, on/off switch, reprogrammable buttons (using included software) Cons: No option to change the mouse "sleep" time after last use, provided software is less than stellar Other Thoughts: Great mouse, very satisfied, I should have bought this a long time ago! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Bennyhaha Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	6/24/2006 1:00:01 PM Great Desktop Pros: The mouse is flawless, very sleek looking. The keyboard looks great and the shortcuts work well. Cons: The only con I have about this is the keyboard, the buttons take some time to get used to because some letters are bigger than others and also curved but once I get used to it I am sure I wont want to switch to the old style. Other Thoughts: I see alot of people are complaining about the wireless connectivity, to tell you the truth I think it is interference that is making it not work for them, I had it next to my wireless router and it didnt work that great so I moved it to another spot and it has been working perfectly, you can also change the channels on it so trust me it will work fine for you if you have it in a good spot.

Radarguy Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	5/29/2006 6:53:01 AM Great features - BUT Pros: This is a Keyboard and mouse I could really like. The mouse has a great feel, moves smoothly and tracks well. The board is quite heavy so it stays put and the keys have a good feel, I could be really happy with it except for some issues. Cons: The reason I gave a rating of 2 is that it deactivates my screensaver. I consider this a very serious problem that I can't overlook. I am using an LCD screen and am trying to avoid burn in. There is a sleep button on the keyboard that works but I tend to forget and also find it sometimes wakes itself up anyway. Microsoft has provided what they say is a way to fix the problem by deactivating other services/programs. The fix may work for some but I have none of those services/programs loaded and it still won't work. When gaming I found that the wheel switch is slow to engage and I have yet to find a way to make the extra mouse switches work. Other Thoughts: If you have a screen that may burn in and Microsoft won't provide a comprehensive fix, I don't recommend getting this board. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	5/24/2006 8:35:17 AM The mouse rocks, keyboard is decent Pros: The mouse is simply awesome. The scroll wheel doesn't click which was annoying, but now I miss it while I'm at work. Ditto for the foward and back buttons by your thumb, very handy for web surfing and they're configurable. The keyboard has several neat sortcut keys and a few are customizable. Palm wrest is very comfortable for extended typing. Feels great. Cons: I returned 2 different times because the space bar kept breaking. Maybe I'm too rough, but I've never had this problem before with a new product. Also the office shortcut keys are way too high to be helpful. I'd rather keep my hands in one spot and use the regular short cuts. Reception is decent at best so keep the receiver close by. Other Thoughts: Save your money and just buy the mouse. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	5/23/2006 1:05:19 PM great mouse... Pros: The mouse response is fantastic. It has a great feel, and the wireless connectivity is solid. Cons: The keyboard, on the other hand, has serious issues. Keystrokes are often lost, and when using backspace, it doesn't register individual strokes, but combines them to wind up deleting words at a time. Would not recommend the package, but would recommend the mouse on its own. Get a lxxxxech wireless keyboard, far more solid. Did you find this review helpful?

Derek! Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	5/17/2006 9:46:00 AM Nice Keyboard But... Pros: I like the ergonomics and how the key layout is slanted a bit, but not too much. I also love the smooth (non-clicking) scroll wheel on the mouse. Also, the real padding and material on the keyboard is very comfortable. The function keys makes things easy on my wife. The calculator button above the 10-key is pretty neat. Overall, I like this keybaord/mouse combo. The mouse works very well, but I havn't noticed any performace difference than that of a normal optical mouse. Battery life has been holding strong now. I've had it for about 3 months and the batteries seem fine still. The invisble laser probably helps alot with that. The software was a breeze to install and it's easy to use and configure. Lots of options. Cons: The function keys are my biggest greif. When in the BIOS, I cannot use the shortcut keys (like F10 to save and exit). I can still get into the BIOS, and I can still get into safe mode even by pressing F8, but when in XP, I cannot, for example, press F11 to switch to full screen in my browser. I may be missing something, but it's annoying. And in writing this review, I have found that pressing the F. Lock key has alowed me to use the F11 key now. I'm only going to assume that was my problem. My opinion still stands. The function keys should always have importance over the others. The other problem I have with the keyboard is just a matter of personal preference that the multimedia keys should be smaller and better designed (who actually used the zoom key anyways?). Other Thoughts: A lot of the things cons that I have pointed out are pretty picky little things. And to the guy having reception problems, I had that at first as well, but then I changed the channel and moved the reciever slightly closer and it has been working perfectly ever since. I can walk out about 20 feet and still control the mouse with no problem. Overall, I like it better than my logitech mouse and keyboard because of the comfort and attention to detail (the real padding on the keyboard compared to the plastic on logitech and the smooth scroll wheel as compared to the "clicky" kind on the logitech's. I would definatly recommend this keyboard combo to my friends. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	5/15/2006 8:51:58 AM Just don't do it!!! Pros: Nice layout, comfortable. Cons: TERRIBLE reception. 30% of keys not recognized despite numerous battery replacements & resets. Mouse does the same thing, requiring several attempts on double clicking. In just this small review, I've had to type as many or more backspaces as correctly registered keys. I'm about ready to smash this piece of !@&#^&%!@#$()& into a thousand tiny pieces, which might make it work better. For comarision purposes, this is a senence that I typed orrecty without any backspaces. Please not that I can type very well, at around 65 WPM, and don' make aton ofmisake. This is how terrible this product is, that I can't d a lette wiout a illion robem. &^&#&^Q@&(#& Bil Gtes Microsoft! Other Thoughts: Just don't buy this product. I just don't trust wireless products like this. Sad to say, that it looks like wired products may go away completely at the rate we're going. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

boboh27 Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/2/2006 8:04:06 PM Excellent Combination Pros: Very good keyboard combined with the best mouse I've ever used. Mcuh better than my logitech duo. The ergonomic design helps when using the comp. for multiple hours. Very stylish as well. Cons: None as far as I can see Other Thoughts: Another good product from Microsoft. Buy it! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Bill Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/1/2006 8:40:14 AM I'll get a Logitech next time Pros: Mouse is smooth. Keyboard angle is slightly more ergonomic than standard layouts, yet not so extreme that I need to retrain. Cons: 1) Range is poor - I have the transmitter about 3 inches from the mouse/kybd, it still occasionlly complains of low signal. If I have to jam the transmitter right next to the keyboard, what is the point of going wireless? 2) Often skips letters while typing; can't say if it is poor key feel or range problem. 3) Volume keys don't work - I found I have to restart the itype.exe process to get this to work. Tried to get MS support, their web site says they give NO SUPPORT for this product without paying $35. Other Thoughts: Not total junk, but if I had to do it again, I would look elsewhere. I guess I am stuck with it for now. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	4/29/2006 2:01:19 AM MS Wireless Desktop 6000 B7T Pros: Nice looking mouse and keyboard Cons: Have had problems from day one, both mouse and keyboard. Signal lose about every 3 or 4 days, battery change makes no difference. Halt on boot cause keyboard isn't reconized......... Will return this product and go with Logitect.

N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	4/22/2006 10:42:26 AM Descent Duo Pros: I have had this setup for almost a month and I haven't had any connection problems after a restart. The keyboard is layed out very nicely. You do have to watch your range with the mouse. If I put the mouse on my keyboard shelf it doesn't work as well as it does up where my monitor is. Cons: No lights on the keyboard. They are on the receiver. F Lock, Num Lock and Capitol. And the keys are a little noisy. Did you find this review helpful?

Steve J Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	4/21/2006 9:56:34 AM Nice layout, but poor wireless connectivity Pros: Great keyboard and mouse. Very natural to use! Cons: You have to make sure that you are in close to the wireless reciever at all times. Do not be surprised to get choppy performance even if the reciever is only a foot away.

Dee Double You Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	4/20/2006 3:55:14 PM Gets the job done Pros: Well, its wireless... Keyboard is nice but the mouse is great. More buttons, better for gaming Cons: range is limited, so don't plan on putting this on your coffee table and it working in the next room.

N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	3/31/2006 5:11:04 PM Horrible Pros: mouse works pretty well most of the time Cons: my range is less than a foot from receiver or start getting low signl warning pop up, the keyboard is by far the worst i've ever had, have to hit buttons multiple times quit often, sometimes is lag and comes up after couple secs but by then will have typed letter several times because most of the time won't pickup the letters you type, won't work until windows is installed so have to have a spare keyboard to install windows(thankfully I did),when you connect to another computer takes forever to synch with reciever and need to hit connect button many(usually about 8-10) times before will finally synch, I've had several cordless mice and this is the worst, this is my first wireless keyboard but couldn't imagine being much worse Other Thoughts: stuck with it for couple months and finally went back to old keyboard and mouse, does have good battery life compared to my wireless intellimouse explorer, but it was few years old and had red laser.

Programmable keys easy to set up and very useful. Zoom control great for picture editing. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Had a recent issue with another wireless 6000 mouse becoming eratic.

N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/24/2006 3:45:25 PM Very nice product Pros: Mouse is AMAZING! Honestly I can't imagine any mouse being better - and I work at BB so I use all kinds of them, this mouse is outstanding. The keyboard is great too, lots of nice features, and it is very comfy. Just understand that being slightly curved it will take a little time to get used to typing on it. Not long, I've had mine for 2 days and I'm much better. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Doesn't hurt my wrists like my old keyboard. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
s205540 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/20/2006 9:11:24 PM Mouse Is Great....Can't Say the same the keyboard Pros: The mouse is very responsive. I love the forward and back buttons as well as the horizontal scroll. Cons: I have had trouble getting the keyboard to work before Windows boots up. While I expecting the special features not to work, simple keystrokes don't even work. This is particularly annoying if you are trying to change BIOS configurations or install Windows. I recently installed Windows XP on my machine and had to use another keyboard. Once Windows is booted the keyboard works alright. Every now and then I have to press a key several times in order for it to pick up. I have the keyboard about a foot from the receiver and had been using the keyboard just seconds before experiencing this problem. It occurs on a regular basis. Other Thoughts: I would recommend buying this mouse separately. I would not get the keyboard. There are better options out there. Did you find this review helpful?

Zero lag, very friendly to use with the kids, and delivery was FAST. Cons: Face no problems with this item.

SteveG Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/1/2006 9:19:55 AM Relly NICE :-) Pros: Very precise mousing action! With many mice you get skips and jumps, optical mice seemed good, but not all surfaces worked well and you would still get skips and jumps. I have two of these installed now and they work great on surfaces that used to cause me grief. There's little more frustrating than being in Photoshop masking out an image and having your mouse jump while using the lasso tool. This mouse has so far offers a much higher degree of control than any prior mice I have used. The keyboard also has a nice feel to it and has lots of programmable keys/buttons as well as a full set of multi-media controls. The magnifier pop-up is a good idea for those hard-to-see images or small text. Cons: None that I can think of yet. Other Thoughts: It's always better to 'swear by' a product than to have to swear at it, and I've not uttered on word of profanity at this keyboard or mouse yet. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Yoduck Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/16/2006 7:00:48 PM Batteries Pros: Great prouct, magnifing capabilities, comfortable keyboard, the ability to access different platforms at a touch, it's a wonderful piece of equipment, and it frees up critical space, but. Cons: The only problems is tha I spend so much on the keyboard writing papers, that I use batteries at an alarming rate. Other Thoughts: Even with the distractors (batteries usage) it's still a great product. I would still buy it again. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Kaalub Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	2/8/2006 6:24:03 PM Amazing Pros: I must say this keyboard and mouse is just amazing! The comfort and action is perfect. The mouse is smooth and accurate. I have no lag what so ever. I started customizing as soon as I hook this bad boy up. All the buttons work but I can not tie the calculater to the proper button. This is a nice buy! Cons: The zoom feature on the left hand side looks easyly breakable. Thats it! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Craniac Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	1/24/2006 8:14:15 PM The Best Pros: The customizability of this keyboard is by far the best I've ever seen. I cannot see myself ever using a different keyboard. Cons: The mouse gets a 4 star rating for functionality and a 10 star rating for comfort. It could use one more button for customization, but the comfort of it makes me forget. Also, the keyboard sometimes pops up with a weak signal reading message even though there is no problem at all. Somewhat annoying, but I could shut off that pop up if I was a little less lazy. Other Thoughts: Okay, I've bought a lot of unnecessary stuff on Newegg since there are so many deals, but I was most dead set aginst getting a wireless keyboard. Someone I work with talked me into it, and this is bar none the best product I've bought on the site. All of the function buttons on the keyboard allow me to quickly launch my applications, which is just way too convenient. Did you find this review helpful?

Mike Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	1/12/2006 4:27:28 PM Awesome Combo Pros: Great feel for both keyboard and mouse. No lag, all my hotkeys work fine, scroll wheel not an issue for me. Had this for about a month now and im still using the same set of batteries. I'm on the computer every day, and they're still at a charge of "good" according to the software it comes with. Mouse feels awesome. Cons: None really. This is just an awesome keyboard/mouse combo. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Sean - Seattle Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	12/28/2005 3:40:12 AM Just another little blurb Pros: Very Pleasing on the hands and eyes. The key board types well and is very comfortable. Not extreme like the natural one out there or the 'boring' standard keyboards. the real kicker is in the mouse; comfortable, stylish, and very accurate. Cons: Half of the extra 'hotkeys' don't work. I'm used to that now considering I've never seen a keyboard where all the extra 'hotkeys' worked, even with updated drivers. The web button brings up the calculator no matter what is assigned there (just being one of many hotkey problems). Other Thoughts: You wont have to use those hotkeys anyways cause the mouse is so great feeling. And I got rechargable AAs cause m****soft doesn't make rechargable wireless products, why? who knows...

Rob Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day	12/23/2005 8:46:34 PM Not for me Pros: The keyboard is large and seems to be made of fairly high quality materials. It's mostly plastic, but the keys have a decent feel. They don't click loudly, but they aren't soft and spongy either. The mouse is also of fairly high quality, although the front side button on mine had an inconsistency in the feel of its click and felt kind of cheap. The side-to-side clicking on the scroll wheel felt sort of tacky as well, with one side being easier to click than the other. Aside from the buttons, the mouse's shape was comfortable and the two main L/R buttons had a nice solid click to them that seemed like it wouldn't wear out any time soon. The mouse was also very lightweight and required very little effort to move even with its load of 2 AA batteries. Cons: 1) For gamers: the scroll wheel on the mouse does not CLICK when scrolling. The wheel glides smoothly and does not have the notchy, clicky feel of traditional scroll wheels that makes processes such as weapon and inventory selection much more accurate and intuitive. If you're holding your knife and you want to pull out your pistol, you know you have to scroll one increment which is indicated with that familiar click. With the Microsoft Laser 6000 mouse, feeling these clicks is impossible so you don't know if you're moving up 3 slots or 1. 2)Scroll wheel is VERY unnecessarily hard to click down (e.g. to open a new tab in Firefox)JEEZ! 3)Reqires you to install the included keyboard/mouse software, unlike Logitech products which are truly plug and play. I'm using the MX700 desktop set and I can use every single button on my mouse without having to install the Logitech softare. The Microsoft set may work without drivers, but I wasn't interested in trying after trying out the scroll wheel Other Thoughts: I ordered this product and took it out of the box, but never actually used it. The scroll wheel issue, combined with the fact that the instructions require you to install the included software before you even plug in the set just turned me off from the start. This set would probably be fine for most people--I wouldn't hesitate to buy it for a family member that wasn't a gamer and would like a neat gadget for their PC. However, many gamers are picky about their equipment and the smooth scroll wheel could mean the difference between pulling out your rocket launcher and pulling out your knife. Just consider the potentially negative effects on gameplay before purchasing. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Brainstewn Tech Level: low Ownership: less than 1 day	12/18/2005 7:17:53 AM Pros: Great keyboard features, decent software. Cons: No charging base, recommends alkaline batteries, poor signal quality. Other Thoughts: I kept this combo pack for almost a month. I had to look through the software extensively to get an understanding of the adjustments. Several times a day the keyboard or mouse had “poor signal quality.” A window would pop up asking to leave it or troubleshoot it. Trouble shooting it was dumb. I had fresh batteries in both the mouse and keyboard, the base was within a 6 inches of the units, still had poor signal quality window popping up. Soon after that using Alt + Tab to navigate through open programs, I discover unresponsive keys. I used common Ctrl + V type functions to paste. I had to press several times or very hard to get consistent results. I would recommend Logitech all day long if you are going wireless. I bought the Microsoft 4000 wired keyboard and love it. I went back to my Logitech MX700 and love it. The Logitech has a charging base so you can put NiMH rechargeable batteries in and never worry about changing the batteries.

hummerlv Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	12/15/2005 6:04:49 AM Impressed Pros: The laser tracking is amazing. For CAD it's great! The mouse fits my hand like a glove as well as I like the quiet keys. No more clickity click driving my roommates nuts. All the features work perfectly. Cons: The only con is that the instructions aren't very specific. I'm the rare kind of guy who actually reads them before I use a device. Other Thoughts: Well worth the money. I did my homework and have not been upset. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
VeX Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	12/13/2005 11:28:52 PM Evil!!!!!! Pros: The overall design of this combo is nice. The keyboard is functional and the mouse has tons of features as well. So no beef there... BUT.. Cons: The left and right mouse buttons intermittentantly work. I'm ready to chuck the thing out a window at this point. Microsoft is no help and I hear this is a common problem. It get's awefully tricky to do ANYTHING when you have to do 10 rapid clicks on the mouse to do a 'double click'. DON'T buy this setup! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?
