Good Set
- Pros: Comfortable, stylish, good battery life, high quality, the receiver can be used for lots of other bluetooth stuff.
- Cons: Mouse is a little heavy with batteries (you'll get used to it). Mouse lags a little when the keyboard "wakes up".
- Other Thoughts: To those reviewers that complain about mouse lag: I'm just not seeing it. I've played many games with this setup and seen no difference from my high end wired mouse. The mouse will get jerky for about 3 seconds when the keyboard wakes up if you are moving at that exact moment. I've had this for over a year and it still works great.
Review after time
- Pros: Bluetooth is better than any wireless (RF) out there. Superior design and function make this one of the best combos on the market
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: For the guy with stuck mouse key, call MS. They will send you a new one. For the guy who can't figure out the status of lock keys because of no lights, just install the MS keyboard and mouse software. Status will display on screen for you.
I use this setup for everything including games and NEVER have experienced lag.

Performs as advertised
- Pros: The less wires, the better.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: I use this for high-action games, and it performs perfect.
Very frustrating
- Pros: Can't think of any at this moment.
- Cons: Keyboard goes into sleep mode when not used for several minutes, sometimes it goes into a "dead mode." Keyboard does not respond quickly enough when you try to wake it up by typing; it will respond after multiple keystrokes. When you need to enter BIOS by pressing on the delete key while rebooting, it fails to register and your OS loads instead. It gets so bad sometimes that I'm forced to hook up a backup keyboard to enter BIOS. Keyboard also does not respond when you reset your computer for one reason or another, and you get to the option screen where your asked to load into safemode or press enter to load your OS normally; since this keyboard will not respond, your left with waiting for the timer to run down to zero to load you OS. Make sure you have a backup keyboard if you plan to purchase this.
- Other Thoughts: Convenient and uses bluetooth technology which is far more stable in terms of signal realiability when compared to RF or Infra Red. However, it sometimes does not respond when your outside of your Operating System. Has 5 buttons that can be programmed to open any applications or folders. Bottom line, be prepared to experience a lot of frustrations.
- Pros: Works great, plenty of hot keys which are easily mapped. Battery life is superb, even with rechargeables or the cheap batteries from the store. Mouse could be a little bulky if you have small hands. The extra buttons on the mouse work amazing and are great for games, though the middle one is tough to push in. The mouse can run on one battery which is great if you forget to go to the store.
- Cons: Thre usb reciever is a reciever is a little flimsy feeling but i have had no problems with it.
- Other Thoughts: Keyboard is also compatable with the 360, using the reciever in the console of course. any bluetooth phones i wonder?
